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 3m away from
the console and within
30m of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it
may not receive a proper signal. If you have more than one Thermo-
hygrometer transmitter, make sure they are all powered up and
transmitting on different channels.
Remove the battery case on the back of the display, as shown in Figure
11. 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.
Figure 11
Replace the battery case, and fold out the desk stand and place the
console in the upright position.
12
The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure,
tendency, moon phase, and time. The wind speed, wind gust, wind
direction, rain, UV/Sunlight , thermo-hygrometer sensors, Integrated
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.
If you have more than one thermo-hygrometer sensor (up to eight
thermo-hygrometer sensors are supported), the display will
automatically toggle between sensors until all sensors have reported in.
If it does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in
Section 18.
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.
Figure 12
13
Note: If the power adapter is plugged in, BL ON will display in the
time area for three seconds when powered up. Conversely, if the power
adapter is not plugged in, AC OFF will be displayed, the icon will
display .
3.4.3 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 0.3mm 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 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2°C (the accuracy is
±1°C). 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 3m 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 two years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
14
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 6m tall, install 4 x 6m = 24m
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 100 m,
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 30m 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 100 m line of sight (no
interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 30 m 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.
15
5. Final Installation of Sensors
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 13. Align this “S” marker in the direction of South.
Step 2: Console operation is set to Northern Hemispheres ( NOR in
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.

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 14
Figure 14

Tighten the mounting pole to your existing mounting pole with the four￠
5 Bolts and M5 Nuts assembly, or fix on the wall with four tapping screw,
as shown in Figure15.
Figure 15
19
Thermo-hygrometer Transmitter installation. It is recommended you
mount the Thermo-hygrometer sensor outside in a shaded area. A north
facing wall is preferred because it is in the shade most of the day. Direct
sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature
readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a
well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not
included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16
6.Low Battery Icon
A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for thermo-
hygrometer sensor. When the low battery icon appears (the battery
voltage is lower than 2.4V), replace the batteries in the sensor with
fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never
mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.
A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for
Integrated outdoor transmitter. When the low battery icon appears (the
battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor
with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and
never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.

15. Other Console Features
The following section describes additional features and display icons.
15.1 Weather Forecasting
Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the
rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure
increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the
pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather
changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location.
The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is
never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

15.3 Moon Phase
The following moon phases are displayed based on the calendar date.
15.4 Feels Like Temperature and AT
Feels like temperature is a combination of Heat Index and Wind Chill.
At temperatures less than 4.4C(40°F), the wind chill is displayed, as
shown in the National Weather Service Wind Chill Table below:
52
Figure 52
At temperatures greater than 26.7C(80°F), the heat index is displayed,
as shown in the National Weather Service Heat Index Table below:
Figure 53
When the temperature is between 4.4C (40°F) and 26.7C (80°F), the
OUT temperature is displayed (Feels Like temperature is the same as
OUT temperature).
53
The concept of apparent temperature (AT) is a linear regression that
is not restricted, and is more appropriate to outside conditions because
it includes wind. and was intended as an assessment of what exposed
body surfaces feel like in cold, windy conditions
Regression equations of this universal scale are formulated for indoors,
outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, and outdoors exposed to wind
and solar radiation. Of these, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind,
has been chosen as most informative.
15.5 Pressure Threshold Setting
The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of
pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted from 2
mbar/hour to 4 mbar/hour (default level 2 mbar/hour).
The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for
weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes
in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the
air pressure is typically stagnant.
15.6 Restore Factory Default
To restore the console to factory default (WiFi network ,Weather server
and display), press the MIN/MAX/- key while installing the batteries at
the same time. Wait 3 seconds after installing the batteries to let go of
the MIN/MAX /- key.

Solution
The maximum line of sight communication
range is 100 m and 30 m under most
conditions. Move the sensor assembly closer to
the display console.
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than
1.5m), move the sensor assembly away from
the display console.
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is
working and the transmitter light is flashing
once per 60 seconds.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote
thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather
environments, install lithium batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not
transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF
shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
Move the display console around electrical
noise generating devices, such as computers,
TVs and other wireless transmitters or
receivers.
Move the remote sensor to a higher location.
Move the remote sensor to a closer location.
Temperature
sensor reads too
high in the day
time.
Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted
in a shaded area. The pre preferred location is
a north facing wall because it is in the shade
most of the day.
Indoor and
Outdoor
Temperature do
not agree
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize
due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor
temperature sensors should agree within 2 °C
(the sensor accuracy is ± 1 °C).
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor
and outdoor temperature to a known source.
58
Problem
Solution
Indoor and
Outdoor
Humidity do not
agree
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize
due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor
humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the

are correct (network name, and
password).
3. Make sure the console is plugged into
AC power. The console will not connect
to WiFi when powered by batteries
only.
4. The console only supports and
connects to 2.4 GHz routers. If you own
a 5 GHz router, and it is a dual band
router, you will need to disable the 5
GHz band, and enable the 2.4 GHz
band.
5. The console does not support guest
networks.
59
Problem
Solution
Data not reporting
to
www.wundergrou
nd.com or

d.net
1. Confirm your password or key is
correct. It is the password you
registered on Wunderground.com.
Your Wunderground.com password
cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric
character (a limitation of
Wundeground.com, not the station).
Example, $worknet is not a valid
password, but worknet$ is valid.
2. Confirm your station ID is correct.
3. Make sure the date and time is correct
on the console. If incorrect, you may
be reporting old data, not real time
data.
4. Make sure your time zone is set
properly. If incorrect, you may be
reporting old data, not real time data.
5. Check your router firewall settings.
