The Outdoor Temperature Sensor
•Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to Weather Station by
915 MHz
•Shower proof casing
•Wall mounting case (Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and
sunshine)
SETTING UP:
Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor sensor.
IMPORTANT:
Please place the Weather station at least 5 feet away from the Sensor before inserting the batteries in
the units in order for the Sensor to transmit accurate initial data to the Weather station.

6
1. First, insert the batteries into the Temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the
Temperature sensor“).
2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather station (see “Install
and replace batteries in the Weather station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of
the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 12:00 and the "Weather man" icon will be
displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least
10 seconds before reinserting them.
3. After inserting the batteries, the Weather station will start receiving data from the sensor. The
outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Weather
station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both
units and reset from step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions
be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather Station and the
sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
•If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the
frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not

7
successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-
synchronization.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover at the back of the Weather station.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The Temperature Sensor uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V battery. To install and replace
the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the sensor.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up
procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the sensor at start-up and this code
must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units
(Battery life See Specifications below).

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an
authorised depot.

reception is currently taking place.
For better distinctness the LCD screen is split into 3 sections:
Section 1 - OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
•Display the outdoor temperature.
•Display the signal reception symbol indicating that receiver is receiving outdoor data
Section 2 - INDOOR TEMPERATURE, INDOOR HUMIDITY, DATE AND WEATHER MAN ICON
•Display the current indoor temperature and humidity in normal display.
•Display the weather condition to be expected in form of 15 fancy weather symbols (featured by
Weather man) which change their appearance depending on the air pressure development and
the current outdoor temperature.
•Display the weather tendency indicator and indoor comfort level indicator
•Display the date

WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY:
The weather forecast icons (Weather man):
One of the 15 different weather icons (featured by Weather man with different clothing) is displayed in the
centre of LCD, which indicates the different forecast weather conditions (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or
Cloudy + Rainy) due to change in air pressure level and the current outdoor temperature:
≥78.8°F (26°C) 66.2 to 78.6°F
(19 to 25.9°C) 50 to 66°F
(10 to 18.9°C) 32 to 49.8°F (0 to 9.9°C) < 32°F (0°C)
Sunny

≥78.8°F (26°C) 66.2 to 78.6°F
(19 to 25.9°C) 50 to 66°F
(10 to 18.9°C) 32 to 49.8°F (0 to 9.9°C) < 32°F (0°C)
Sunny + Cloudy

19
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to
represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not
changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather Projection Station to register. However, if the
