INTRODUCTION
LW301/302
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientic™ Anywhere
Weather Kit (LW301) or Kit Basic (LW302). Either one can
collect weather data via a weather sensor receiver from
different accessorial sensors, and then send the data
back to Oregon Scientic Internet server via Internet-
connected hub through Internet. It also provides a solution
for the user to have a weather station connection that can
be remote accessed from their mobile device, such as
smartphone or tablet PC.
NOTE Please keep this manual handy as you use
your new product. It contains practical step-by-step
instructions, as well as technical specifications and
warnings you should know about.

NOTE
• Use disposable alkaline batteries for longer usage
and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures
below freezing. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine or re.

Connect the Internet-connected hub to be a system
as shown below. If you purchased model LW302
product and want to add more weather sensors,
please contact your local retailer or visit our website at
www.oregonscientic.com.
NOTE The power adapter of the Internet-connected hub
is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical position.
The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
NOTE If the network you use is restricted, please contact
the technical staff of that organization for support.
DOWNLOAD APPLICATION

2. On REG. STATION page, fill out
all elds (you can nd MAC ADDR.
and REG CODE at the bottom of the
Internet-connected hub).
3. The map displays your location.
You can make a zoom by simply
tap-and-drag the map by your two
ngers at a time. Once you nd out the
specic location for your new station,
press and hold until a red pin appears on
the map. (Tap the red pin again, you can
see New Station message pops up).
Tap DONE to conrm the selection.
4. Once successful, LIVE page with
real-time weather data will pop up.
If application fails to connect to a
station, the display goes back to
REG.STATION page again.
NOTE The default temperature and humidity data on
LIVE page is from your channel 1 of temperature and
humidity sensor.
NOTE The weather icon represents the weather situation
for the next 12 hours, not the real-time situation.
NOTE Please save a copy of your MAC ADDR. and
REG CODE for preventing the label faded or damaged
that cannot be recognized for registration in the future.
VERIFY CONNECTION
LW301/302
Before proceeding to install sensors outside, please verify
communication and transfer of data.
Enter MY WEATHER page, then tap HISTORY prole.
To search for a sensor:
Press and hold SEARCH (located at the back of the
weather sensor receiver).
NOTE Unit will search only for already registered sensor
or new sensor reset within last 30 minutes. To register a
new sensor, reset sensor prior to search.
TIP The transmission range may vary depending on
many factors. Sensors should be positioned in an open
area away from trees or other obstructions. Relocate your
sensor to various locations to have better reception.
MOUNTING / PLACING OF SENSORS
WIND SENSOR
LW301
Secure the sensor connector in the desired location:
a. Align the back of the sensor
connector to an existing pole.
Secure in place by inserting the
ends of the U-bolt into the holes on
the sensorconnectorandsecuring
it with washers and bolts.

OR
b. Insert 4 type A screws into the
holes of the sensor connector.
Screw rmly into place, i.e. fence.
Align the wind vane at against the
small end of the sensor connector,
and then slide it until it clicks into
place to lock the cover.
IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind
sensor is pointing north to enable it to
record accurate readings.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR
LW301/302
TIP Ideal placements for the sensor
would be in any location on the
exterior of the home at a height of not
more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can
shield it from direct sunlight or wet
conditions for an accurate reading.
Secure the sensor in the desired
location using the wall mount bracket
or table stand.
RAIN GAUGE
LW301
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about
1 meter (3feet)fromthegroundinanopenareaawayfrom
trees orother obstructionstoallowraintofallnaturallyforan
accurate reading.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross
at the base of the funnel to check the
horizontal level.
Water will pool to the centre of the cross
when the rain gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is
not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using
the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base
is horizontal to allow maximum drainage
of any collected rain.
TIP Erase all testing data from application
before formal use.
