Glossary of Common Terms
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen
used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this
measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric
pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air
pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International
System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value
Important Note:
The ProWeatherStation TP3000WC comes fully assembled for ease of use. The Outdoor
Sensor array runs mainly on solar power which charges a super capacitor located inside the
unit, but has 2 AA batteries for backup power when needed (ie; solar panel shaded or covered
with snow). The outdoor sensor array communicates with the display console over a 433Mhz
RF signal which sends the data to the display console about every 48 seconds. The display
console can be run on batteries to just display the weather readings or it can be powered using
the included 5V adapter to enable the WiFi capabilities of the display console. Once the unit is
connected to a local WiFi network the display console can upload data automatically to
Weather Underground without the need for a PC and can also be accessed from a PC running
the WeatherSmart Wifi software.

flash once every 48 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).
2. Install Batteries
The sensor array is powered by the solar panel which charges a super capacitor, but
batteries are required as a backup power source. Insert 2X AAbatteries in the battery
compartment and tighten the screw of battery cover. The LED indicator on the back of
the transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 48 seconds
(the sensor transmission update period).
Figure 4
Note: If no LED light or if LED is on steady, make sure the batteries are inserted
correctly. If still an issue press the reset button momentarily. Caution ! Do not install
the batteries backwards as 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.
3. RF (Radio Frequency) Receiving Mode
1. After power-up, the display console waits for an RF signal from the sensor array
for 144s.
2. Once synchronized, the sensor array will transmit a data update every 48 seconds.
If the display station does not receive a signal from the sensor array for eight
48s time-periods, the outdoor temperature and humidity will display “----”. The
display console will start to search for a new signal from the outdoor sensor array for 144s.
3. If the display console loses sync permanently with the outdoor sensor array, press the

8000060 Rev 1 23-Feb-18
5
reset button, located on the bottom of the outdoor sensor array, for 3 seconds. If still a
problem, remove the batteries from the outdoor sensor array, cover the solar panel, wait at
least 60 seconds and then replace the batteries.
4. Do not press any key on the display console before outdoor sensor data is received,
otherwise the outdoor sensor sync mode will be terminated. When the outdoor sensor
array transmitter has been registered, the base station will automatically switch to the
normal display mode from which all further settings can be performed by the user.
Note:
The open field distance between the display console and the outdoor sensor array can
reach up to 300 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings,
trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc. In normal use, the display console is indoors and
the sensor array is outdoors so there are walls in-between and workable distance will be
less.
Radio interference such as PC monitors, radios or TV sets can interfere with radio
communications between the sensor array and display console. Please take this into
consideration when choosing the location of the display console. If you have issues with
connecting to the outdoor sensor array, try a different location for the display console.
4. Mount outdoor sensor
Reference Figure 5. 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. There is
a bubble level built into the sensor array. Use the bubble level to mount the sensor array
as close to level as possible. It is level when the bubble is inside the red circle.
There are markings for N, S, E and W around the Wind directrion meter. Make sure when
mounting the outdoor sensor array that the “N” marking is aligned with North.

With an open ended paperclip, press and hold the RESET BUTTON for three seconds
to completely discharge the voltage.
If still an issue, remove the batteries from the senor array and cover the solar panel for
at least one minute.
Put batteries back in and resynchronize with display console by powering down and up
the display console with the sensor array about 3 meter away.

6. 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 display 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 feet line of sight (no interference,
barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet 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.

This weather station can send data to Weather Underground, a free weather hosting service,
using your household WiFi connection.
The weather station can also operate as a standalone weather station showing weather data
on the display console and computer only, as long as the weather station console and
computer are connected to the same WiFi. It doesn’t require an internet connection to operate
in this mode.
1. Connecting the Weather Station Console to WiFi
The WiFi feature only works when plugged into AC power due to higher energy requirements.
Note: Before you start, it’s best to create an account and register your new weather station with
Weather Underground at http://www.wunderground.com/. Weather underground will assign a
weather station name and password which you will need in the following setup.
To connect the weather station to WiFi, you must first download the mobile application from the
Apple APP Store if using an IOS device or Google Play Store if using anAndroid device.
