Display unit
Note:
The USB port in the console of weather station is only for software update, not for data
communication.
Contents
The weather station consists of the following parts:
1 Display Console
1 Y shape outdoor sensor
(Thermo-hygrometer / Rain Gauge / Wind Speed Sensor /Transmitter)
1 Wind Vane
1 Indoor sensor
1 5V DC adaptor
1 Stainless Steel Tube (D32*H200mm)
1 U style Stainless Steel Loop
1 User manual
Introduction
Thank you for your purchase this Wireless Wi i Weather Station. The outdoor sensor is solar
powered and sends data to the console via a low-power radio. It allows you to upload your
weather data to weather website: www.wunderground.com which you can share it with your
friend.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual
to become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future reference.

Feature
Installation
Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at there final desti-
nation, please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct
function.
1. Install wind vane
Push the wind vane into the shaft. as shown in figure 1. Tighten the set screw with as
shown in figure 2. Make sure the wind vane spin freely.
figure 1 figure 2
There are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” around the wind direction, repre-
senting for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be ad-
justed so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent
wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned cor-
rectly during installation.
2. Install wind speed
Push the wind speed into the shaft. as shown in figure 3.
Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 5. Make sure the wind speed spin freely.
figure 4 figure 5

3. Install Batteries
Insert 2XAA batteries in the battery compartment. The LED indicator on the back of the
transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor
transmission update period).
figure 6 figure 7
Note: If no LED light up or is lighted permanently, make sure the battery is inserted the
correct way or a proper reset is happened. Do not install the batteries backwards. You can
permanently damage the outdoor sensor
Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries
are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have
lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long,
resulting in poorer reception.
3. Mount outdoor sensor
Reference 8&9. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a bracket that tightens
around a 1 to 2” diameter pole (not included) using the four U-Bolt nuts.
figure 8 figure 9
Use the bubble level beside the rain sensor as a guide to verify that sensors are level.
5. Reset Button and ransmitter LED
In the event the sensor array is not transmitting, reset the sensor array.
With an open ended paperclip, press and hold the RESE BU ON for three seconds to
completely discharge the voltage.
RST01937Manual 25.10.2017 11:57 Страница 6

Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar panel to drain the
voltage.
Put batteries back in and resynchronize with console by powering down and up the con-
sole with the sensor array about 3 meter away.

Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s) upright on a vertical
surface, such as a wall. Do not lay the sensor flat.
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers.
We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from com-
puter monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 868 MHz devices and com-
munication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes.
You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication.
3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference,
barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installa-
tions, which include passing through barriers or walls.
3. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as alu-
minum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to
get a clear line of sight.
The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or ob-
struction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.
Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated) 5-15%
Plastics 10-15%
Wood 10-40%
Brick 10-40%
Concrete 40-80%
Metal 90-100%

Indoor sensor
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor with a Philips
screwdriver (there is only one screw, at the bottom of the unit). Insert
two AAA batteries as shown in igure 11 (we recommend lithium bat-
teries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for
most climates).
Replace the battery door and set screw. Note that the tempera-
ture, humidity and pressure will be displayed on the LCD display. Look-
ing at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for
the top battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.

Initial Display Console Set Up
Connect the power adapter to power up the display console.
The display console starts to register the transmitter and receiver the weather data from
transmitter. The interface as below:

setting compared to an area where the air pressure is stagnant. or example if 4 is selected,
then there must be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 4hPa needed to change the weather
forecast icons.
