2. PRE-INSTALLATION
2.1 CHECKOUT
Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather
station at a location which is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the
weather station functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper operation before installing
it permanently.
2.2 SITE SELECTION
Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings:
1. Rain-gauge must be clean every few months
2. Batteries must be changed about every 1.5 years
3. Avoid radiant heat reected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1.5m (5’) from any building, structure, ground or roof top.
4. Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any obstruction of rain, wind, and
sunlight.
5. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of
150m (or 450 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering obstacles in between
or nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line. Check the reception signal quality to
ensure good reception.
6. Household appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices operating in the
same frequency range may cause signal intermittent. Choose a location at least 1-2 meter
(3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to ensure best reception.

3.1.1 INSTALL BATTERIES
Unscrew the battery door at bottom of unit and insert the
batteries according to the +/- polarity indicated.
Screw the battery door compartment on tightly.
NOTE:
- Ensure the water tight O-ring is properly aligned in place to
ensure water resistant.
- The red LED will begin ashing every 12 seconds.
3.1.2 INSTALL MOUNTING POLE
Step 1
Insert the top side of the pole to the square hole of the
weather sensor.
NOTE:
Ensure the pole and sensor's indicator align.
Step 2
Place the nut in the hexagon hole on the sensor, then
insert the screw in other side and tighten it by the
screw driver.
6

Step 3
Insert the other side of the pole to the square hole of
the plastic stand.
NOTE:
Align the pole and stand marking.
Step 4
Place the nut in the hexagon hole of the stand, then
insert the screw in other side and then tighten it by
the screw driver.
Step 5
Mount the wireless 7-IN-1 sensor with the wind meter end pointing to the North to correctly
orient direction of the wind vane.
A. Mounting on pole (Pole Diameter 1"~1.3")
(25~33mm)
B. Mounting on the railing
NOTE:
1. Install the wireless 7-IN-1 sensor at least 1.5m off the ground for better and more accurate
wind measurements.
2. Choose an open area within 150 meters from the LCD console.
3. Install the wireless 7-IN-1 sensor as level as possible to achieve accurate rain and wind
measurements.

3.1.3 SENSOR ALIGNMENT
Install the wireless 7-IN-1 sensor in
an open location with no obstructions
above properly orient the wind
direction vane.
Secure the mounting stand and
clamps (included) to a post or pole,
and allow minimum 1.5m off the
ground.

SENSOR(S) RESYNCHRONIZATION
Press the [ SENSOR / WI-FI ] key once for the console to enter sensor Synchronization mode
(channel number blinking), and the console will re-register all the sensors that have already
been paired to it before.
REMOVE WIRELESS SENSOR(S) CONNECTION
In order to remove the sensor(s) connection, please follow below steps:
1. Remove sensor batteries.
2. Press [ SENSOR / WI-FI ] key once to clear the sensor history.
3.3 RECOMMENDATION FOR BEST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Effective wireless communication is susceptible to noise interference in the environment, and
distance and barriers between the sensor transmitter and the display console.
1. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) – these may be generated by machinery, appliances,
lighting, dimmers and computers, etc. So please keep your display console 1 or 2 meters
away from these items.
2. Radio-frequency interference (RFI) – if you have other devices operating on 868 / 915 / 917
MHz, you might experience communication intermittent. Please re-located your transmitter or
display console to avoid signal intermittent problem.
3. Distance. Path loss occurs naturally with distance. This device is rated to 100m (300 feet)
by line of sight (in interference free environment and without barriers). However, typically
you will get 30m (100 feet) maximum in real life installation, which includes passing through
barriers.
4. Barriers. Radio signal are blocked by metal barriers such as aluminum cladding. Please align
the sensor array and display console to get them in clear line of sight through window if you
have metal cladding.
The table below show a typical level of reduction in signal strength each time the signal passed
through these building materials.
MATERIALS SIGNAL STRENGTH REDUCTION
Glass (untreated) 10 ~ 20%
Wood 10 ~ 30%
Plasterboard / drywall 20 ~ 40%
Brick 30 ~ 50%
Foil insulation 60 ~ 70%
Concrete wall 80 ~ 90%
Aluminum siding 100%
Metal wall 100%
Remarks: RF signal reduction for reference.
