Close the battery door. Make sure the gasket (around the battery
compartment) is properly seated in its trace prior to closing the door.
Tighten the set screw.
Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently
damage the sensors. The solar panel does not charge the batteries, so
rechargeable batteries are not needed or recommended.
Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries for sensors.
The sensor LED indicator will light for 3 seconds, and then flash once
per 16 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is
transmitting data.
Replace the battery door and push to tighten it.
Note: If the sensor does not power up after inserting the batteries,
press the reset button shown in Figure 6.

3.4.2 Display Console Set Up
It is recommended to plug in the power supply to reduce the
battery consumption and extend the service life.
Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before
powering up the console, or the
console will time out searching for the sensor. Power the console last.
Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 10’ away from
the console and within
100’ of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it
may not receive a proper signal.
Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure
8. Insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium) batteries in the back of the
display console. The display will beep once and all of the LCD
segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are
operating properly.
Note: The character contrast is best from a slightly elevated viewing
angle.

Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the
console in the upright position.
The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure,
tendency, moon phase, and time. The wind speed, wind gust, wind
direction, rain, UV/Sunlight , Integrated outdoor temperature and
humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not Press
any menu buttons until the outside transmitter report in, otherwise the
outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated. When the outdoor
transmitter data has been received, the console will automatically
switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be
performed.
While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly
displayed.
If it does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in
Section 18.
Note: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mounted 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 power adapter is plugged in, BL ON will display in the
time area for three seconds when powered up. Conversely, if the power
adapter is not plugged in, AC OFF will be displayed, the icon will
display .
4.Weather Station Installation
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout Before installing your weather
station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the
weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy
access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure
proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and
calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless
range of the weather station.
4.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the
following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the
batteries every two years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general,
install the sensor array at least 5’ from any building, structure, ground,
or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the
sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest
obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ =
56’ away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to
a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and
transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 300ft,
providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees,
vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal
buildings. Most applications will only reach 100ft due to building
obstructions, walls and interference.
5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst
case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into
consideration when choosing console or mounting locations.

11
4.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
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 computer monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz
devices and communication 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 300ft line of sight (no
interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100ft maximum
under most real-world installations, which include passing through
barriers or walls.
4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers
such as aluminum 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 obstruction 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%

5.Final Installation of Sensors
Integrated outdoor transmitter installation.
Professional Wireless Weather Station can be used in both the
Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction.
5.1. NorthernHemispheres (NOR).
The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) molded on the body of the outdoor
sensor are indicators for the Northern Hemisphere only.
Step 1: There is a “S” indicator on the wind vane that indicates South,
as shown in Figure 10. Align this “S” marker in the direction of South.
Step 2: Console operation is set to NorthernHemispheres( NOR in the
time area) in Location division.
Note:There are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” around the
wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South and
West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted 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 correctly during installation.
NorthernHemispheres

13
Southern Hemispheres
Figure 10
5.2. SouthernHemispheres (SOU).
For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore these(N, S, E, W) and
face the solar panel to the North (and in a sunny position) when it
comes to installing the Integrated outdoor transmitter.
Step 1: Install the Integrated outdoor transmitter and face the solar
panel North.
Step 2: Console operation is set to Southern Hemispheres( SOU in the
time area) in Location division.
Note: Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the
directions on the sensor are matching with your real location.
Permanent wind direction error（read approximately 180º）will be
introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly
during installation.
Fasten the integrated transmitter to mounting pole brackets with foot-
mounting, two ￠3 bolts and M3 nuts , as shown in Figure 11

14
Figure 11
Tighten the mounting pole to your existing mounting pole with the four￠
5 Bolts and M5 Nuts assembly, or fix on the wall with four tapping screw,
as shown in Figure12.

Figure 12
6. Low Battery Icon.
A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for
Integrated outdoor transmitter. When the low battery icon appears (the
battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor
with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and
never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.
