INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your selection of the Oregon Scientific
UVR 138 Ultra-Violet (UV)Sensor. This sensor records the
UV levels 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 compatible with new Oregon Scientific
weather stations, such as:
•BAR998HG
•BAR321HG
In this box you will find:
•UVR138 remote Ultra Violet sensor
•User guide
•Wall mount
•Ground anchor
•4UM-3 (AA)1.5V alkaline batteries

GETTING STARTED
The UVR 138 records Ultra Violet light levels and then
transmits this data to a main (indoor) unit. It is splash proof
and should be placed 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 closer
for reception.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1. Place remote unit as close as possible 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 polarity, as shown on
the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment lid. Press RESET
and secure.
Replace the batteries whenever the low battery
icon appears:
•on the main unit UV index display.
•on the UVR138 LCD screen.

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