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 sensors. 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, 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.
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.

3.4.2 Sensor Operation Verification
The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to
installing the sensor array.
1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back
and forth several times. You should hear a “clicking”sound within the
rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the display console is not reading
0.00. Each “click”represents 0.01in of rainfall.
2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups
manually or with a constant speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not
reading 0.0.
3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify
the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and
sensor array in the same location
(about 9.8 ft apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is
±2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the
indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor
array in the same location (about 9.8 ft apart). The sensors should be
within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both
sensors to stabilize.
4. Weather Station Installation
4.1 Pre Installation Check. 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 Location 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 year. 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)’ =

13
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.
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 300 ft line of sight (no
interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 ft 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%

5. Final Installation of Sensor
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. Northern Hemispheres (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 14. Align this “S” marker in the direction of South.
Step 2: Console operation is set to Northern Hemispheres ( NORin 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.

Southern Hemispheres
Figure 14
5.2. Southern Hemispheres (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
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: Console has to be location division setting 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 15
