Important notes
It is important to read this user guide very carefully and follow all the instructions given
while installing the device. Then store it for future reference if necessary.
Device specication
The ME13 weather station consists of a control unit and a set of outdoor sensors. It can
be further extended with additional sensors and devices, with the possibility of controlling
the device based on integrated weather conditions. The measured values can easily be
displayed on a computer, smartphone, tablet or any other device with an Internet browser.
The weather station can also be integrated into higher-level systems. Communication is
then mediated via TCP/IP protocol and data can be read using the ModBus technology or
the XML format. More information about integration of the weather station into higher-
level systems can be found in a separate user guide available at www.meteo-pocasi.cz in the
“Download” section.
If you want to access your data in a clear and easily understandable way or if you want to
share it with other users, you can register your weather station at www.meteo-pocasi.cz and
you will get many additional features and extensions.
Safety instructions
Please read the following instructions very carefully before plugging in your device to
electricity or connecting it to your computer, in order to prevent any potential injuries and
minimize the risk of damaging the weather station and/or its accessories.
The manufacturercarriesnoresponsibility foranydamageresultingfrom incorrect installation
or non-compliance with this user guide or technical instructions. If these safety instructions
are not followed the device may not be safe to use and data might be inaccurate. Wanet Ltd.
offers warranty service conditions of which are specified in a document available at www.
meteo-pocasi.cz and warranty is performed based on this document or the legislation of
the Czech Republic. Installation and configuration of the weather station and computer
network should be performed by a person with the appropriate knowledge and skills.
Opening or removing the outer lid can result in electrical shock. Because the device is
exposed to outdoor weather conditions, all the installation steps must be followed carefully
to prevent water leaking into the control unit area. The supplied power supply can only
be used in electrical circuit with a voltage that corresponds to the label on the power
supply. Some parts of the sensors are fragile and therefore close attention must be paid
while handling them during installation or cleaning. Do not use the device in environments
with aggressive chemical compounds and gases and do not clean or soak the device
with chemical detergents. Do not place the weather station close to devices with strong
electromagnetic fields.
Do not use the device if it is malfunctioning or if it shows visible signs of damage. The
outdoor sensors for measuring wind speed and direction, solar radiation and precipitation,
should be kept clean during winter. Also keep in mind that even a thin layer of snow can
significantly influence the measured values, especially in case of the rain gauge if not heated
(heated rain gauge is optional).
2
Locating the Weather Station
Installing and using the weather station
The weather station is intended for outdoor use. Minimum distance from the ground is 1m
and the maximum possible distance from the energy supply, data switch or router is 25 m.
The station must be placed in an open-space and the surrounding area must be free of any
devices that could potentially influence the measured values. In order to guarantee accurate
measurements, the station must also be unshaded and no obstacles should prevent normal
air flow. In the winter, the mechanical sensors must be kept clean.

User guide for IP Weather Station WARIO ME13
Unsuitable places for installing the station
zInstallation underneath a roof or some other mechanical barrier
zInstallation facing other direction than South on the Northern hemisphere or North
on the Southern hemisphere.
zInstallation between two buildings close to each other.
zInstallation on a chimney or heating/air conditioning exhaust
zInstallation in a location that is hard to reach, making the station difficult to access.
zInstallation in a place where there is a risk of damaging the sensors or the control unit.
zInstallation in a place where the weather station sensors readily become dirty.
Installing the console and mounting pole
The weather station is only supplied with two basic telescopic sections of the mounting
pole, to which the actual sensors are attached using plastic or metal mounting arm. This
mounting pole must be attached to the console or a mast. Available is also an optional multi-
functional console Meteo, which is intended for installation of the weather station itself and
various configurations of the sensors and additional accessories. The main advantage of this
system is flexibility in configuration options. Pay close attention to choosing the appropriate
console and its attachment, ensuring maintenance of stable position.
Connecting the station
The connectors are connected to the control unit at the bottom part and those that are
not used must be covered with rubber plugs, which are also supplied with the station.
The weather station is equipped with locking connectors RJ11 and RJ45 for connecting the
sensors and the data cable. OUT1 and OUT2 connectors use the RJ11 connector and close
attention must be paid to ensure it is connected properly using pliers.

Some of the components such as the install openings or the number of components
connecting the station may be slightly different from the ones depicted on the pictures or
specified in the user guide as there are several types of installation arms, screws and clips
used. Apart from the replacement of the combined sensor radiation shield as part of service,
it is not permitted to manipulate with the control electronics of the weather station in any
way. Non-compliance with this will void the warranty. All connectors and conductors must
be connected while the control unit of the station is turned off.

Installation
Step 1
It is recommended to begin the installation with the main telescopic mounting pole (part
1) and plastic wind speed and wind direction arm (part 2). Connect the first part of the
telescopic mounting pole with the plastic wind sensor arm using the locking mechanism
and making sure it is locked on both sides. Then fix the position of both parts using nuts and
bolts in order to make sure it is well fixed.
If you are using the multi-functional Meteo console, the procedure is the same as if using
the plastic wind sensor arm (part 2). This type of installation is recommended if you wish
to measure wind speed and wind direction at a different height than for example the air
temperature and humidity.

Step 2
Next install the wind direction (part 3) and wind speed sensor (part 4). It is necessary to
make sure that when installing the weather direction sensor, the label “W” on the actual
sensor is in the direction pointing outwards from the plastic mounting arm and connect
the sensor by the locking mechanism to it. Then use nuts and bolts to fix them permanently.
Next connect the wind speed sensor (part 4) with the plastic mounting arm. Just like with
the wind direction sensor, first use the locking mechanism and subsequently use nuts and
bolts for tight connection.

Next step is to complete the plastic rain gauge arm (part 5)
and the rain gauge itself (part 6). Connect both parts
together using the locking mechanism and fix them tightly
by a small screw (part 9).
Step 4
Attach the entire plastic arm and rain gauge to the main telescoping mounting pole. Then
also attach the metal arm with the control unit and the combined sensor to the main
mounting pole, facing upwards. If you want to increase the overall height of the weather
station from the install console, extend the telescopic mounting pole with the other part of
it. Tighter attachment can be achieved by screwing the control unit arms together. It is not
always necessary to use both parts of the main mounting pole and installation can also be
performed using just one of them.

Step 5
The actual installation of the weather station, i.e. the attachment of the main telescopic
mounting pole to the prepared console, is done by attaching it by clips to the console (part
10). Orientation of the whole weather station in space relative to geographical position and
the actual sensors is very important. Tight fixation in all directions is important and it should
also be placed perpendicularly in all directions. If the weather station is not fixed tightly or is
not placed perpendicularly, measurements might be inaccurate.
Step 6
Mechanically verify that the weather station is tightly fixed in its location and set its orientation
so that the label W of the wind direction sensor faces the West and the radiation shield
of the combined sensors is unshaded and facing South (Northern hemisphere) or North
(Southern hemisphere). Then use tightening belts (part 11) to attach the cables leading to
the control unit of the weather station. If the data cable goes over parts of the consoles or
other features in the interior, it must always be tightly attached. The data cable is resistant
against UV light and is intended for outdoor use. Make sure all parts are tightly fixed and that
the cables are well attached. Otherwise measurements might be inaccurate, errors arise or
it could even lead to the malfunctioning of the whole station.
Step 7
Connect all the cables to the control unit. The weather station uses the RJ11 and RJ45
connectors for connection and communication between the control unit and the sensors.
Connectors for data communication and WBUS interface are different from these and must
not be interchanged.
zConnect the wind speed and wind
direction sensor to the receptacle
labeled as “WIND”
zconnect the rain gauge to the
receptacle labeled as “RAIN”. This
connector also includes connection
for heated rain gauge, which is
optional.
zData cable from the PoE adapter
connect to the receptacle labeled
“LAN”.
zConnect the optional temperature
or temperature/humidity sensors to
the receptacles labeled “S1 or S2”.
zConnect the relay outputs to receptacles “OUT1 or OUT2”.
zConnect the WBUS interface data cable to the receptacle labeled “WBUS”.

Step 9
It is possible to remove the plastic radiation
shield of the combined sensors (part 8) for
service purposes. This shield also functions
as a cover for the weather station. The
radiation shield connection is mediated by
the connector number “1” to the receptacle
at the weather station, also labeled as “1”.
Incorrect connection can damage the
control unit or the actual sensors. When
installing the cover for the weather station
always check that it is properly fixed and
the screws are tighten to prevent moisture
from entering the unit.
