1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Ecowitt HP2560 weather station
receiver or console.
The Ecowitt HP2560 is a 7" diagonal size TFT(high resolution) colored
screen weather station receiver, which provides two
background(dark/light) themes selectable.It supports monitoring indoor
and outdoor temperature, humidity, absolute and relative barometric
pressure, wind speed and gusts, wind direction, rainfall, solar radiation
(light),and UV, and it collects these sensor data from various supported
wireless sensors.
Furthermore,the HP2560 supports WiFi networking, weather information
upload to weather services and to a customer chosen server,a SD card to
upgrade firmware,archive your console weather information, back up
historical and current data.
The HP2560 needs to be used with optional sensors to obtain outdoor
weather data. Apart from the indoor temperature&humidity&barometric
data provided by the console's built-in sensor, this device is not a
standalone product.
We at Ecowitt are very conscientious about your possible concerns regard
ing sending your data into a cloud. Not only do we not share your data wi
th any third party, we also offer you a possibility to manage your data loc
ally by the help of a special tool-the WS View Plus app. You may refer
to the WSView Plus APP instruction for more details.
The following user guide provides step by step instructions for
installation and operation, including more functions of the HP2560
receiver. Use this manual to become familiar with your professionally
designed weather station and save it for future reference.

General Terms Used in the Manual:
Weather Station: Includes the console and sensors (or sensor array).
Receiver: Refers to the console.
Transmitter: Refers to the sensor or sensor array.
RF: Radio frequency. It refers to the ISM and SRD SubG (Industrial,
Scientific and Medical and Short Range Devices frequency bands below
1 GHz) for communicating between the console and its sensors. This
frequency is not the same as the 4G modem (LTE) or Wi-Fi working
frequencies (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz).) ISM/SRD bands are kept separate from
4G frequencies by national regulations to avoid interferences. Typical
ISM/SRD frequencies are 915MHz(Americas), 868MHz(Europe),
433MHz(worldwide), 920MHz (Japan, Korea).

Note 1: This connection does not require Wi-Fi.
After powering up the console and setting the language, the next step is to
connect the console with the sensors. The sensor data will then be
displayed on the console for your observation.
The HP2560 console is compatible with most sensors. For information on
supported sensors, please refer to Section 9 "Optional Sensors."
The optional sensors can be purchased separately. Make sure to select the
model with the same RF frequency as your console (the frequency is
different for various countries because of regulations).
Note 2 : To pair the optional sensors with the HP2560 console, please
follow the below operations:
Place the optional sensor next to the console (keep them about 5-
10ft/1-2m away from the console).

3.1.4 Weather Forecasting/Moon Phase Icons
1) Weather Forecasting
This weather forecast provides a prediction for the upcoming 24 hours.
The forecast icon is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure.
Please allow at least one month for the weather station to learn the
barometric pressure over time.
Sunny
Partly
Cloudy
Cloudy
Pressure increases for a
sustained period of time
Pressure increases
slightly
or initial power up
Pressure decreases
slightly
Rainy
Stormy
Pressure decreases for a
sustained period of
time
Pressure rapidly
decreases
Table 8
In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is
generally improving (sunny to partly cloudy). If the rate of change of
pressure decreases, the weather is generally degrading (cloudy, rainy or
30
stormy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly
cloudy.
The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is
because the forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most
locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to
consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts.
In some locations, this prediction may be less or more accurate. However,
it is still an interesting educational tool for learning why the weather
changes.
As the forecast is based on pressure changes alone, modifying
components like inversions or jet stream changes cannot be noticed and
considered by the weather station. Only satellites or weather balloons
could do this.
The National Weather Services (and other weather services such as
Accuweather and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their
disposal to predict weather conditions, including weather radar, weather
models, and detailed mapping of ground conditions.

3.1.5 Beaufort Wind Force Scale
If you have selected the use of Beaufort wind speed units, you can use the
Table 10 below for reference. The Beaufort scale is based on qualitative
wind conditions and how they would affect a ship’s (frigate) sails (so yes,
it is an “old” standard). It is therefore less precise than the other scales
but is still in use in various locales.

3.3 History Record
While in normal display, touch the button twice to enter History
Record Mode.
In History mode only data saved to the console memory can be seen.
When that memory is full, the oldest record will be overwritten. These
are only the basic weather data like wind, rain, temperature, humidity,
pressure, solar and UVI. Extra sensor data are not stored in the internal
memory. They will, together with the basic data, be archived on an SD
card if one is present. They cannot be displayed on the console but can be
downloaded from the SD card as CSV (comma separated values) files
and processed in a spreadsheet application.
Note: The console can store historical data on a memory card. This
memory card is not included. If you want to use this function, you will
need a micro SD memory card. The supported max capacity of the card is
32G (Format: FAT32). A 1GB card will store more than 10 years of data,
so you do not need a very large capacity card. There is also no
requirement on the speed class of this card as data writing happens
infrequently and is not speed critical.
If you need an SD card larger than 32G,use the Rufus tool to format the
SD card to FAT32. Download the tool from https://rufus.ie/en/.

LDS Calibration
Channel: Channel name
Heater-on Counter: Displays the number of times the heater has been
activated since it was first turned on, with a default value of 0. Once the
heating function is enabled on the LDS01, the counter will automatically
increment and save each time the heater is activated.
Total Height: This refers to the distance from the bottom of the tank to
the bottom of the device (for water measurement) or from the bottom of
the device to the ground (for snow measurement). This value must be
manually entered by the user.
Air Height Offset: This is the distance from the air space above the
water/snow level to the bottom of the device. If the measured value of the
device is considered inaccurate, you can set an offset to correct it.
Filter Level: It is used to process the air height values obtained by the
LDS01, reducing the impact of instantaneous fluctuations on the data and
improving the stability and accuracy of the data. There are 5 levels in
total, with the default being level 0.According to the most recent obtained
Air Height values, sorted in ascending order.
The Air Height values corresponding to the filter levels are as follows:
58
Level 0 (default)
Uses the current latest value directly, suitable for
scenarios with high real-time requirements, but may
be affected by instantaneous fluctuations. If highly
stable data is not necessary, this level can be chosen.
Level 1
Uses the median value of the most recent 3
measurements, sorting to remove extreme values
and providing more stable results.
Level 2
Uses the median value of the most recent 5
measurements, further reducing fluctuations and
improving data smoothing.
Level 3
Uses the median value of the most recent 7
measurements, suitable for scenarios requiring
higher data stability, effectively eliminating more
fluctuations.
Level 4
Uses the median value of the most recent 9
measurements, suitable for scenarios requiring
extremely high data stability. This level smooths the
data to the greatest extent, removing more
fluctuations.
By adjusting the filter level, you can balance the real-time performance
and stability of the data, meeting the requirements of different
applications.
Reset: Resets the Heater-on Counter, Total Height, and Air Height
calibration data to zero.
Notes:
1. The “air” shown in Section 3.5 “Optional Sensor Display Mode”
refers to the distance. When measuring depth, the total height
value is a required setting.
59
2. The total height setting must be greater than or equal to the air
height for the water depth to be displayed correctly. Otherwise, it
will show as "--".

Table 14
(1) Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a
heat source (such as a building structure, the ground or trees).
To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid)
thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and digital thermometers (from other
weather stations) are not a good source and have their own margin of
error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due
to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated
63
once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather
stations are not properly installed and calibrated).
Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the fluid
thermometer, and allow the sensor to stabilize for 3 hours. Compare this
temperature to the fluid thermometer and adjust the console to match the
fluid thermometer.
(2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and
drifts over time due to contamination. In addition, location has an
adverse effect on humidity readings (installation over dirt vs. lawn
for example).
Official stations re-calibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis.
Due to manufacturing tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To
improve this accuracy, the indoor and outdoor humidity can be
calibrated using an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer.
(3) Relative Pressure Compensation Calculation
The relative pressure compensation value (REL) is calculated based on al
titude, outdoor temperature, and absolute pressure (ABS). If outdoor tem
perature data is unavailable, REL can be calculated using the following fo
rmula:
REL = ABS + Altitude/11
The altitude unit can be either feet (ft) or meters (m), depending on
the selected rainfall unit:
If the rainfall unit is set to inches (in), the altitude unit will be feet (ft).
If the rainfall unit is set to millimeters (mm), the altitude unit will be
meters (m).
Please select the appropriate units based on your needs to ensure accurate
calculations.
64
(4) Only use this if you improperly installed the weather station sensor
array, and did not point the direction reference to true north.
(5) The default conversion factor based on the wavelength for bright
sunlight is 126.7 lux ~ 1 W/m2. It results from a photometrically
determined light value converted into a radiometrically based power
unit. This variable can be adjusted by photovoltaic experts based on
the light wavelength of interest, but for most weather station owners,
it is accurate for typical applications, such as calculating
evapotranspiration and solar panel efficiency for equally aligned
panels.
(6) Wind speed is most sensitive to installation constraints. The rule of
thumb for properly installing a wind speed sensor is 4 x the distance
of the tallest obstruction. For example, if your house is 20’ tall and
you mount the sensor on a 5’ pole:
Distance = 4 x (20 – 5)’ = 60’ or =4 x (6.10-1.52) =18.32m.
Many installations are not perfect and installing the weather station on a
roof can be difficult. Thus, you can calibrate for this error with a wind
speed multiplier.
In addition to the installation challenges, wind cup bearings (moving
parts) wear over time.
Without a calibrated source, wind speed can be difficult to measure. We
recommend using a calibrated wind meter (not included) and a constant
speed, high speed fan.
Note: If located in Southern hemisphere, please follow the steps to
calibrate the wind direction:
1. Install the outdoor sensor package with the West arrow on the
sensor pointing due East.
65
2. Check the wind direction offset (Default: equals to the current
wind direction).
If: Current wind direction offset < 180, then it should be calibrated to be:
current wind direction + 180. If: Current wind direction offset > 180, then
it should be calibrated to be: current wind direction - 180
For example, if the current wind direction is 288, then you’ll need to set
the wind direction offset to be: 288-180=108.
If the current wind direction is 12, then you’ll need to set the wind
direction offset to be: 12+180=192.
(7) The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel
diameter. The bucket tips every 0.1mm or 0.004 inch of rain
(referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can be
compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of at least 4”
or 0.1m. 1 mm refers to the water level on a 1 m
2
surface or one litre.
A 1,000 mm high cubic container with a ground area of 1 m
2
will
contain 1 m
3
or 1,000 litres of water when filled. This applies to the
WH40 rain gauge. One bucket tip of the WS69/WH65 rain gauge
corresponds to 0.254 mm or 0.1 inch.
Make sure you periodically clean the rain gauge funnel.
WS90/WS85 Piezoelectric Rain Calibration
66
Figure 40
WS90 and WS85 are weather stations equipped with piezoelectric rain
gauges. To make your rain data more accurate, you can calibrate the rain
sensor accuracy by yourself on this calibration page or Ecowitt app:
1. A reference is needed to record the rainfall value, and it is also
important to be able to record the rain rate. Our WH40 rain
sensor can be used for this purpose.
2. You can set five rain gain parameters: Piezo Rain1: Rain5. We
usually leave Rain1 as it is unless you can confirm it consistently
produces the same result, and then you can adjust this.
3. Please ensure that you record rain data as follows: set rain4 gain
to 6/7.5, which equals 0.8. For easier management, set rain2,
rain3, and rain5 all to 0.8 for now. Only when different rain rates
are recorded, divide the ws90 rain by 0.8 to get 1.0 rain, and then
recalculate (reference/ws90/0.8) to precisely adjust the
corresponding rain gain setting.
67
Figure 41
Note:
1. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error
associated with the device’s margin of error. Errors can occur due to
electronic variation (example, the temperature sensor is a resistive
thermal device or RTD, the humidity sensor is a capacitance device),
mechanical variation, or degradation (wearing of moving parts,
contamination of sensors).
Calibration is only useful if you have a known, calibrated reference to
compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices,
procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing
68
and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from
sources such as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. The purpose
of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings,
your micro-climate, which can vary significantly from location to
location.
UV Calibration MUST be performed every 2 to 3 months to improve
results. Over time, UV Index may alter results based on bright and strong
sunlight conditions. This is why diligent UV Calibration is recommended.

Table 15: Supported weather services
Note: If you are testing the setup with the outdoor sensor package nearby
and indoor, you may want to consider connecting to Wi-Fi, but not yet
configuring any of the weather services. The reason is that while indoor
the temperatures and humidity recorded by the outdoor sensor, and as
reported to the weather service(s) will reflect indoor conditions, and not
outdoor conditions. Therefore, they will be incorrect. Furthermore, the
rainfall bucket may be tripped during handling, causing rain to register
while it may not actually have been raining. One way to prevent this is to
follow all instructions, except to use an incorrect password on purpose!
Then, after final outdoor installation, come back and change the
password after clearing console history. That will start uploading to the

8. Troubleshooting Guide
Look through the following and locate an issue or problem you are
experiencing in the left column and read possible solutions in the right
column. Table 17 is for troubleshooting related to the console, and Table
18 is for troubleshooting related to the transmitter (sensor).
Problem
Solution
After the console is
powered on, why does
the screen light up and
show "Starting" and then
quickly go black?
This is most likely a problem with the power
plug. Please connect the power cord to your
computer or mobile phone charger, then the
console will power on and work properly. If it
still doesn't work, there is something wrong with
the console, not the power supply.
Absolute pressure does
not agree with official
reporting station
You may be viewing the relative pressure, not
the absolute pressure.
Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you
properly calibrate the sensor to an official local
weather station.
Would I check the block
of “Automatic Host Firm
ware Upgrade?What are
the consequences?”
If an upgrade is available in the future, you can
check the About page for firmware updates. If
you set the “automatic upgrade” option, the
firmware will be updated once an update is
available.
Can I add an additional
screen for a different
room that takes data
from the same sensor
array?
Yes, you can add an additional console, one
transmitter can be connected to two or more
consoles at the same time.
89
After inserting the SD
card, data backup failed.
Please first confirm whether the SD card
icon is displayed in the upper left corner of
the screen. If not, please remove the SD card and
reinsert it. If the backup is successful, it will
show Successful completion of the backup
100% (progress bar)
Data not reporting to
Wunderground.com
1.Confirm your password 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,$oewkrf is not a valid password, but
oewkrf$ is valid.
2.Confirm your station ID is correct. The
station ID is all capital letters, and the most
common issue is substituting an O for a 0 (or
vice versa). Example,KAZPHOEN11, not
KAZPH0EN11.
3.The number "1" can be easily confused with
the lower case of letter "L".
4.Make sure the date and time are correct on
the console. If incorrect, you data may be
considered old data, not real time data, and will
be rejected.
5.Make sure your time zone is set properly. If
incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not real
time data( see 4 ).
6.Check your router firewall settings. The
console sends data via Port 80.
Table 18

Problem
Solution
The outdoor data
displayed on the
console
(temperature/humidity/
Feels Like/Dew Point)
is showing as "--°
" ,while other data is
displaying normally.
It's possible that the temperature and humidity
sensor module is malfunctioning. Please confirm
the issue by following these steps to operate the
outdoor sensor array:
1. Unscrew the screws at the bottom of the
radiation shield and open it, then remove the
module, check if there are any other data. If not,
press the reset button (the transmitter manual
describes the location of the reset button). If
other data are normal,plug in the module again.
If it still displays --°, it means the module is
broken.
2. Please take a photo of the sensor module, send
it and your order number to us. We will send you
a replacement based on the original module if
your order is under the warranty. Please replace
it upon receipt.
Outdoor sensor array
does not communicate
to the display console. –
i.e you don’t see the
weather data of either
one or all outdoor
sensors.
1. Power-cycle the console and see if there are
any changes – leave one minute time in
between.
2. If power-cycling the console doesn’t help, we
have to reset the outdoor array
A: software reset:
inserting the end of an opened paper-clip into the
reset hole (see manual for WS68 and WS69
array) or pressing the reset button (WS80, WS85
and WS90 array) for about five seconds will
restart the array firmware and the LED will start
blinking again (WS68/69 every 16 seconds,
WS80 every 5 seconds, WS85/90 every 9
seconds).
If A doesn’t provide the desired result, we have
to perform a hardware rest.
91
B: hardware reset
- take out the backup batteries
- cover the solar panel of the array tightly with
black tape or take it into a dark room and wait
until the LED stops burning or blinking. The
internal battery has to be discharged completely.
This may take up to 48 hours.
- once the LED has stopped blinking, re-insert
the batteries.
- the array should power-up and start blinking
again every 5-16 seconds depending on the array
model.
Rain gauge reports rain
when it is not raining
An unstable mounting solution (sway and
vibrations in the mounting pole) may result in
the tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing
rainfall. Make sure you have a stable, level
mounting solution.
Wireless remote
(thermo-hygrometer)
not reporting in to
console.
There are dashes on the
display console.
The maximum line of sight communication
range is about 300’. Move the sensor assembly
closer to the display console.
Re-synchronize the remote sensor(s).
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote
sensor(s).
Make sure the remote sensors are not
transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF
shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit
through metal barriers (example, aluminum
siding) or multiple, thick walls.
Move the display console around electrical
noise generating devices, such as computers,
TVs and other wireless transmitters or
receivers.
