INTRODUCTION
Congratu ations on your se ection of the Oregon Scientific™
UVR 138 U tra-Vio et (UV) Sensor. This sensor records the
UV eve s radiated by the sun and transmits that data to an
indoor weather station. When used together with a main
unit weather station, readings taken from this sensor can
provide information about UV trends and maximum sun
exposure times before the skin starts to burn.
This UV sensor is compatib e with new Oregon Scientific
weather stations, such as:
• BAR998HGN
• BAR321HGN
In this box you wi find:
• UVR138 remote U tra Vio et sensor
• User guide
• Wa mount
• Ground anchor
• 4 UM-3 (AA) 1.5V a ka ine batteries

GETTING STARTED
The UVR 138 records U tra-Vio et ight eve s and then
transmits this data to a main (indoor) unit. It is sp ash proof
and shou d be p aced in an area with maximum exposure
to the sun.
The sensor range is up to 100 meters (328 feet)
with no obstructions, but if the main unit has a shorter range
than the sensor, you may have to move the sensor c oser
for reception.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1. P ace remote unit as c ose as possib e to the main
unit, no more than 100 meters (328 feet) away.
2. Unscrew the top of the sensor.
3. Remove the battery compartment covers.
4. Insert the batteries. Match the po arity, as shown on
the battery compartment.
5. Rep ace the battery compartment id. Press RESET
and secure.
Rep ace the batteries whenever the ow battery
icon appears:
• on the main unit UV index disp ay.
• on the UVR138 LCD screen.

SET UP
(WALL MOUNT)
Use this fixture to attach the UV sensor to a vertica wa .
First make sure the surface is smooth and f at. Fix the mount
to the wa by inserting each of the four screws through the
screw ho es on the f at surface of the mount and into the
wa . Make sure the LCD screen faces away from the wa .

(GROUND ANCHOR)
Use this fixture to anchor the UV sensor into soft ground
e.g. soi or sand. For maximum safety, insert the anchor
into the ground s ow y and carefu y.

Position the sensor using the wa mount, tab e stand, or
ground anchor options. For best resu ts:
• P ace in a ocation with maximum exposure to
the sun.
• P ace the sensor away from e ectrica or mechanica
objects.
• P ace the sensor away from moisture.
• Do not p ace the sensor more than 100 meters
(328 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit. Minimize obstructions such as doors, wa s, and
furniture.
The sensor range is up to 100 meters (328 feet) with no
obstructions, but if the main unit has a shorter range than
the sensor, you may have to move the sensor c oser for
reception. You may need to experiment with various
ocations to get the best reception.
This icon wi b ink on the main unit UV va ue
disp ay box when it searches for the sensor.
It stops b inking when the sensor has been found.
Once the batteries are in p ace, the sensor wi
transmit signa s every 40 seconds. It wi take over an hour
before a measurements on the main unit are disp ayed
(e.g. UVI history) because some measurements are hour y
averages.

RESET
The RESET button is ocated near the battery compartment.
Press it whenever you change the batteries, or whenever
performance is not behaving as expected (e.g., unab e to
estab ish radio frequency ink with the main unit). This wi
return a settings to defau t va ues, and you wi ose a
stored information.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The fo owing settings and information on y app y
if you have an Oregon Scientific compatib e weather station.
On the main unit weather station, UV readings are recorded
and interpreted in two areas of the disp ay:
1. UV bar chart disp ay.
2. The UV va ue disp ay.
Based on readings transmitted from the sensor, the main
unit can ca cu ate maximum sun exposure times before
the skin starts to burn. Each ca cu ation can be customized
for a specific user (1-4). Ca cu ations are updated every
time a new UV reading is received from the sensor. This
ca cu ation is based on three factors:
• SKIN TYPE (user-se ectab e)
• SPF (user-se ectab e)
• UV DATA (co ected by sensor)
SPF (Su Protectio Factor)
Individua s react different y to sun exposure. The SPF
indicates the eve of protection needed when time is spent
under the sun. The se ectab e SPF range is between
1-50 and re ates to how susceptib e you are to getting
sunburn. Enter an SPF setting that corresponds to the SPF
protection you choose for your sunscreen products.
• 1-11 ( ow protection)
• 12-29 (moderate protection)
• 30-50 (high protection)
For examp e, if your skin is sensitive and you get sun burnt
easi y, you wi need a ot of protection from the sun’s UV
rays. In this case you shou d use a sunscreen with an SPF
rating of 30-50 for maximum safety, then input the
respective SPF in the main unit setting for accurate
ca cu ation.

UV INDEX BAR CHART DISPLAY
The UV index bar chart shows u tra-vio et eve patterns
taken over ten hours. U tra-vio et eve readings are taken
hour y, averaged, and then disp ayed as an index.
Measurements are disp ayed in 2-hour increments
(-10, -8, -6, -4, -2, 0).
For examp e, (-10) indicates the average hour y reading
taken ten hours ago, (0) is the most current average.
Readings wi show approximate y one hour after you setup
the sensor.
1. Current (0) / ten hours ago (-10).
2. UVI \ Hr the average UVI index for a given hour.
3. indicates that you are in UV mode.
4. UV bar chart disp ay is active.
If the icon is not visib e on the main unit bar
chart disp ay box, press MODE to enter the bar chart
disp ay.
USER SETTINGS
Under the same exposure to the sun, individua s wi react
different y. To account for this difference, settings can be
customized for up to 4 users. This way, information is
tai ored to each individua for more accurate resu ts. For
examp e, if there is a mum, dad, sister, and brother in a
house, you can assign a user number to each person such
as mum (1), dad (2), sister (3), and brother (4).
SETTING SKIN TYPE AND SPF
1. Press SELECT to choose UV mode.
