Forecast Icons
Please Note: The Forecast Icons may not represent
your current weather. They are a future prediction of
the weather to come over the next 12 hours.
When using as a standalone station, the display
will use changes in barometric pressure to predict
your weather to come in the next 12 hours. This is
represented by 6 forecast scenes (sunny, partly
sunny, clouds, rain, t-storm, and snow).
When connected to Wi-Fi, the station will receive additional weather icons, chance of precipitation values,
and future forecast information. These enhanced Internet features are powered by AccuWeather.
Additional forecast scenes include:
Sunny Clouds
T-Storm
Partly Sunny
Rain Snow
Tip: The icon will appear in the top right corner of the forecast section when your display is

•Please allow up to 10 days for automatic
calibration, or program your local pressure
value in the Settings Menu.
•The arrows located to the left of the values
represents Pressure Tendency ( / ).
•Select your desired unit of measurement
(hPa or InHg) in the Settings Menu.
You can also set a specific pressure

Your Water Leak Sensor data shares the
same display area as the pressure readings.
How to View Additional Data in the
Extra Sensor Field
Press the EXTRA button on the top of the
station to view Water Leak, Pressure, other
add-on sensors data (see page 18), or select

The station will acclimate on it’s own if the pressure number
is not set.

Sensor Placement and Mounting
SENSORS
• The sensor will work best when simply placed on a floor.
It will begin to detect water at 0.787mm (0.031 inches).
• Use the hole at the top to hang your sensor
from the back using a nail. Or, insert one
mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
• Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in
any shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is
preferred to avoid inaccurate readings from
the sun.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to
the station is up to 121 meters (400 feet) in open
air, not including walls or floors.
• Be sure your sensor is mounted vertically,
to allow moisture to drain out properly.
•If sensor is placed vertically (i.e. hung
inside a sump pump) the depth of the
water needs to be at least 6.35mm
(0.25 inches) high to trigger the sensor.
Mounting Your Thermo-Hygro Sensor
Positioning Your Water Leak Sensor
Water Leak Sensor LED Light
Blue Light: Normal Transmission
The light will occasionally flash blue,
indicating it is still transmitting correctly
and no water has been detected.
Red Light: Water Detected
The LED light will flash red twice every
5 seconds until dry.
Purple Light: Low Battery
Indicates the sensor batteries need
to be replaced.
IMPORTANT:
The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with other metal.
This will cause false WET readings and may damage the sensor.
