ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Thank you and congratulations on selecting the Urban Green Energy weather station!
We are positive you will enjoy the benefits of accurate weather readings and the precise
radio controlled time information that our instruments offer. In particular, the included
anemometer will highlight the opportunity of installing a Wind Turbine.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual to
become familiar with your weather station, and save it for future reference.
Sincerely,
The Urban Green Energy Team

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.
RELATIVE AIR 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 independent of altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury are the common units 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. A hectopascal holds the same value.
Important Note:
Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual.
The Professional weather station includes a base station (receiver), a transmitter unit, one wind
direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software package on
CD-ROM.
An added feature of the UGE Weather Station is the readout of all measured and
displayed time and weather data on a PC.

SET UP GUIDE
Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at their final destination, please set
up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct function.
SETTING UP THE BASE STATION AND TRANSMITTER
Insert two pieces of LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter, the LED located in the middle front
case of transmitter will be turned on for 4 seconds, after which the transmitter will be functioning.
When data is being transmitted the LED will flash for 20ms intervals.
After inserting the batteries into the Weather Station, all LCD segments will be turned on for a few
seconds.
The weather station will make initial measurements and start to register the transmitter. Do not
press any key before outdoor sensor data is received, otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode
will be terminated. When outdoor 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.
REGISTER TRANSMITTER
If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the sensors is lost during setting up,
mounting, changing of batteries to the sensor or plugging or unplugging cables, simply press and hold
the DOWN/- key for 4 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base stations to
sensors. Weather data will not be received without synchronization.
Note:
Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field can reach a
distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees,
vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off radio
communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting locations.

MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Important Notes:
On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of ―N‖,‖E‖,‖S‖ and ―W‖
representing the directions North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted
so that the directions on the sensor are matched with your real location. Permanent wind direction
error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not orientated correctly during
installation.
Wind speed sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket on wind direction sensor. Wind
direction sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor
with marking of ―Wind‖ on top.
The rain sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor
with marking of ―Rain‖ on top.

POSITIONING
Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they can be
positioned in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components
work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If for example there appears
to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission, it can generally be overcome by moving the
mounting locations.
