coil fits snugly against the bottom of the rain collector.
9
(b) Gently press the coil so that it hooks into the hole at the bottom of the rain
collector and locks into place. The tension of the spring will keep the filter tightly
fitted to the rain collector.
Figure 6
4.7. Install Battery
Locate the battery door at the bottom of the transmitter, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. Doing so can permanently damage
the outdoor sensors. The solar panel does not charge the batteries, so rechargeable
batteries are not recommended.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as
shown in Figure 8.
10
Figure 8
Insert 3 new AA batteries and close the battery door as shown. Before closing the
battery door and tightening the set screws, make sure the washers (around the
inside perimeter of the battery door) are properly secured in their tracks.
Figure 9
Note: We recommend installing AA lithium batteries for the Outdoor Sensor in
cold weather environments.
Once the battery is installed, the Integrated Outdoor Sensor LED indicator will
illuminate for 3 seconds and then blink every 1 minutes. The sensor is transmitting
data each time it blinks.
11
Figure 10
Note: If the sensor LED does not flash after inserting the batteries, press the reset
button located at the bottom of the sensor, as shown in Figure 10.
5. Installation of the Sensor Array
5.1. Pre-installation Check
Before installing the weather station in a permanent location, we recommend
running it at a temporary, easily accessible location for one week. This allows you to
check all functions in advance, ensure they are operating correctly, and familiarize
yourself with the weather station and calibration procedures.
5.2. Site Survey
Before installing the weather station, consider the following points during the site
survey:
1. The rain gauge must be cleaned every 3 months and the battery should be
replaced every 3 months.
2. Avoid heat radiation transfer from buildings and structures. Generally, the sensor
array should be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from any buildings,
structures, ground, or roofs.
3. Avoid influencing wind speed and rainfall measurements. The installation distance
of the sensor array should be at least four times the height of the highest obstacle.
For example, if a building is 20 feet (6 meters) high and the installation pole is 6 feet
(2 meters) high, the installation distance should be 4 x (20 - 6) = 56 feet (17 meters).
If the weather station is installed near tall buildings, wind speed and rainfall
measurements may be inaccurate.
4. Radio signal range. Assuming no interference from buildings, trees, vehicles, high-
voltage lines, and other obstructions, the radio communication distance between the
display console and the transmitter can reach up to 330 feet (100 meters). In most
cases, due to interference from buildings and walls, most wireless applications can
only reach up to 100 feet (30 meters). Radio signals cannot penetrate metal buildings.
5. In the worst-case scenario, radio interference from personal computers, radios, or
televisions can completely cut off radio communication. Therefore, consider this
when selecting a display console or determining the installation location.
12
5.3. Adjusting the Sensor Mounting Direction
This professional weather station is suitable for use in both the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres. To ensure the accuracy of the wind direction display, please
secure the direction of the integrated outdoor sensor before installation.
Note: Wind direction is indicated by the letters N, E, S, and W. (N is north, E is east,
S is south, W is west)
Northern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
Figure 11
5.3.1. Northern Hemisphere Reference
The body of the outdoor sensor is embossed with the four cardinal directions: N, E, S,
W, which are applicable only in the Northern Hemisphere.
Step 1: As shown in the diagram, there is an "S" indicator on the wind vane
representing south.
Using a compass, check the direction and adjust the orientation of the entire sensor
to ensure the "S" mark on the sensor aligns with the south.
13
Figure 12
Step 2: On the display console, set the location region to the Northern Hemisphere
(NOR will appear in the time zone).
(For detailed steps on setting the location region, see Step 16 in section 8.1).
5.3.2. Southern Hemisphere Reference
For installing the integrated outdoor sensor in the Southern Hemisphere, disregard
the four directions (N, E, S, W) marked on the sensor body. When installing, adjust
the orientation of the entire outdoor sensor to ensure the solar panel faces north
(and is positioned to receive maximum sunlight), as shown in the diagram.
Step 1: Install the Integrated Outdoor Sensor
Ensure the solar panel is positioned to face north.
Figure 13
14
Step 2: Set the Location Region on the Display Console
Set the location region to the Southern Hemisphere (SOU will appear in the time
zone).
(For detailed steps on setting the location region, please refer to Step 16 in section
8.1).
Note: The location region (NOR or SOU) on the display console and the sensor
direction must be adjusted according to your actual location.
If the integrated outdoor sensor is not positioned correctly during installation, it will
result in permanent wind direction errors.
5.4. Securing the Mounting Pole
Observe the bubble level next to the rain gauge to ensure the bubble is stable within
the circle, keeping the sensor array completely level. If the sensor array is not level,
the rain gauge will not measure accurately.
Figure 14
Note: If the bubble level cannot be read due to mounting limitations, a horizontal
line or level can be placed across the top of the rain gauge for easier viewing.
5.4.1. Horizontal Mounting and Fixing Sensors
Fasten the integrated outdoor sensor to the mounting bar bracket with two
mounting bolts (Ø4)/nuts (M3). Then, tighten the mounting bar to your existing
mounting bar using four bolts (Ø5) and nuts (M5), or secure it to a flat surface with
four self-tapping screws, as shown. (Figure 15)
15
Figure 15
5.4.2. Vertical Mounting and Fixing Sensors
Fasten the integrated outdoor sensor to the mounting bar bracket with two
mounting bolts (Ø4)/nuts (M3). Then, tighten the mounting bar to your existing
mounting bar with four bolts (Ø5) and nuts (M5), or secure it to a flat surface with
four self-tapping screws, as shown. (Figure 16)
Figure 16

5.4.3. 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 300 feet line of sight (no interference,
barriers, or walls), but typically, you will get 100 feet maximum. [This is 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 table present reception loss versus the transmission medium. Each
“wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below:
6. Install the Display Screen

Warning: Please use the adapter to power the device! The battery is for emerge
ncy use only! The battery only lasts for a maximum of two hours!
(2) Install the display console batteries
Remove the battery door on the back of the display (Figure 17) and install three AAA
(alkaline or lithium) batteries. The display will beep and all layouts on the display will
light up for a few seconds as a verification that the display is working properly.
(3) Use the Display Stand
The folding tabletop stand on the back of the display console is positioned at roughly
45 degrees to the display (Figure 18). We recommend viewing the console from a 20-
degree to 30-degree angle from above for the best display of the screen.
18
Figure 18
7. Start the Display Console
As shown in the figure, once the display console is powered up, it will display all
layouts of the screen for three seconds. Then it will automatically scan all nearby
integrated outdoor sensors. At the same time, press the reset button on the outdoor
unit again. The indoor data will be updated immediately, and the outdoor sensor
data will be updated within a few minutes.
19
Figure 19
In Search Mode, the Remote Search icon will blink continuously and will not stop
until all measurements have been received; then it will remain permanently lit. The
console will automatically switch to normal mode, where all other settings can be
performed.
Note: Do not touch any buttons on the display until all remote sensors have
reported data on the display, or the display console will terminate the connection to
the remote sensors.
When the integrated outdoor sensor is connected, the measured values (outdoor
temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, gusts and average wind, and
rainfall) will be displayed on the display console.
Note: Ensure that the distance between the weather station's sensor and the
display console is between 10 feet (3 m) and 100 feet (30 m). If the weather station
sensor is too close or too far away, it may not receive the proper signal.

8.4.3.Calibration Discussion
Note: The calibration value can only be adjusted on the display console, the
outdoor remote sensor always displays an uncalibrated or measured value.
The purpose of calibration is to fine-tune or correct any sensor errors associated with
the device's error range. Errors can result from electronic changes (e.g., temperature
sensors are resistive thermistors or RTDs, humidity sensors are capacitive devices),
mechanical changes or degradation (e.g., moving parts wear or sensor
contamination). Calibration is only useful when there is a known calibration source to
compare it to.
This section will discuss practices, procedures, and sources for sensor calibration to
minimize manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare data with results
obtained from sources such as the Internet, radio, television, or newspapers.
The purpose of a weather station is to measure the surrounding environmental
conditions, which vary greatly from location to location.
37
(1)
Tmperature 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 an unreliable source due to changes
in location and timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour).
Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the fluid thermometer,
and allow it to stabilize for 48 hours. Compare this temperature to the fluid
thermometer and adjust the console accordingly to match the reading.
(2)
Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and can drift over time
due to contamination. Additionally, location has an adverse effect on humidity
readings (such as installation over dirt versus a lawn).

Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to
manufacturing tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 9%. To improve this accuracy,
the indoor and outdoor humidity can be calibrated using an accurate source, such as
a sling psychrometer.
Note: The measured humidity range is between 10% and 99%. Humidity cannot
be measured accurately outside of this range. Therefore, it is not possible to
calibrate humidity below 10% or above 99%.
(3)
The display console shows two different pressures: absolute pressure (measured
value) and relative pressure (corrected for sea level).
In order to compare air pressure conditions at different locations, meteorologists
correct air pressure to sea level pressure. Because barometric pressure decreases
with elevation, the sea level corrected pressure (the pressure at your location if you
are at sea level) is usually higher than your measured pressure.
Thus, at an elevation of 1,000 feet (305 meters), the absolute barometric pressure
may be 28.62 inHg (969 mb), but the relative barometric pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016
mb).
The standard sea level pressure is 29.92 inHg (1013 mb). This is the average sea level
pressure for the entire world. A relative pressure measurement greater than 29.92
inHg (1013 mb) is considered high pressure, and a relative pressure measurement
less than 29.92 inHg is considered low pressure.
To determine the relative barometric pressure at your location, look for an official
reporting station near you (the Internet is the best source for real-time barometric
conditions, such as the Weather.com or Wunderground.com websites) and set your
weather station to match the official reporting station.
NOTE: The calibration settings will be saved to the display console until a factory
reset is performed. If the console location altitude is changed, the barometric
pressure will need to be recalibrated.
(4)
Wind speed is the most sensitive to installation constraints. A properly installed wind
speed sensor must be 4x 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’.
39
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, measuring wind speed can be challenging. We
recommend using a calibrated wind meter and a consistent, high-speed fan.
(5)
The rain collector is calibrated to the funnel diameter at the factory. The internal unit
of the rain collector records 0.01 inches of rainfall (called resolution) for each pour.
Accumulated rainfall can be compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of
at least 4 inches.
The rain cycle view is calculated as follows:

10.2. Weather Forecast Instructions and Limitations
Note: Weather forecasts or pressure trends are based on the rate of change of
air pressure. Generally speaking, as air pressure increases, the weather improves
(from partly cloudy to sunny), and as air pressure decreases, the weather
deteriorates (from cloudy to rainy).
If the current conditions don't match the forecast icon, it is because the forecast is an
estimate or summary of how the weather is expected to change over the next 24-48
hours, which varies from place to place. Weather trends are only a tool for predicting
how the weather will change and should never be relied upon as an accurate method
of forecasting the weather. In most areas, these predictions are only 70% accurate,
so it's best to consult the National Weather Service for a more accurate weather
forecast.
10.3. Pressure Threshold
The pressure threshold (the rate of negative or positive pressure change that
indicates weather changes) can be adjusted between 2 hPa and 4 hPa (default is 2
hPa).
The lower the pressure threshold is set, the more sensitive it becomes to changes in
the weather forecast. Locations where pressure changes frequently require a higher
pressure threshold than those where the pressure is usually stagnant.

12. Glossary of Terms
Terms
Definition
Absolute
pressure
Absolute pressure is the measured atmospheric pressure and
is a function of altitude and, to a lesser extent, changes in
weather conditions.
Absolute air pressure is not corrected for sea level
conditions. See relative air pressure for details.
Relative pressure
The measured air pressure relative to your location or
environmental conditions.
43
HectoPascals
(hPa)
A unit of pressure measured in the SI (International System
of Units). Same as the millibar (1 hPa = 1 mbar).
Inches of
Mercury (inHg)
Pressure expressed in imperial units (1 inHg = 33.86 mbar).
Dew point
Dew point refers to the temperature at which water vapor
condenses into water after cooling in air of a certain
humidity under constant air pressure. The condensed water
is called dew, and the dew point is a saturation temperature.
Dew point is related to relative humidity. A high relative
humidity means the dew point is closer to the current air
temperature. A relative humidity of 100% means the dew
point is equal to the current temperature and the water in
the air reaches maximum saturation. When the dew point
remains constant and the temperature rises, the relative
humidity decreases
Rain gauge
A rain gauge is a device that measures liquid precipitation
(rain) over a period of time, rather than solid precipitation
(snow, hail, or ice).
All digital rain gauges are self-emptying or self-dumping (also
called dumping rain gauges). The accuracy of a rain gauge
depends on the amount of rain that falls during each
emptying cycle.
Accuracy
Precision is defined as the ability of a measurement to match
the actual value of the quantity being measured.
Calibration
Calibration is the comparison between measurements made
by a device (standard) of known magnitude or correctness
with another device (instrument) in a manner as similar as
possible.
Range
Range is defined as the number and interval of measurable
values.
Resolution
Resolution is defined as the number of significant digits
(decimal digits) that can be reliably measured.
Wind vane
A wind vane is a device that measures wind direction, usually
in conjunction with an anemometer. Wind direction refers to
the direction the wind is blowing from. For example, if the
display shows the wind direction as south, it means the wind
is blowing from the south.

Battery Life
If the base station signal reception is
good, the transmitter battery can last at
least 3 months.
If the base station reception signal is
intermittent, the transmitter battery
life may be reduced.
We recommend using lithium batteries
for the transmitter in cold climates
below -20°C (-4°F).
14. Maintenance
46
(1) We recommend cleaning the rain gauge once every 3 months. Twist the funnel
clockwise and lift it vertically to expose the rain gauge assembly (see image below).
Then, wipe the internal rain gauge assembly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt,
debris, or insects. If insect infestation is a concern, you can lightly spray the array
with an insecticide.
Figure 26
(2) Clean the solar radiation sensor and solar panel with a damp cloth every 3 months.
Replace the battery every 3 months. If left for too long, the battery may leak due to
environmental factors. In harsh environments, check the battery every 3 months
(when cleaning the solar panel).
(3) When replacing the battery, apply anti-corrosion compound to the battery
terminals, which is available on Amazon and most hardware stores.
(4) In snowy conditions, spray the top of the weather station with anti-icing silicone
spray to prevent snow accumulation.
(5) Over time, the smoothness of the rain gauge funnel surface will degrade due to
dirt, debris. Therefore, we recommend spraying Teflon spray on the rain gauge
funnel and coil filter to reduce the surface tension of the water.

Problem
Solution
The wireless remote
control is not reporting to
the console.
The display console has
dotted lines; dashes (--.-).
If any sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-)
will appear on the screen. To reacquire the signal,
press and hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds,
select the lost sensor, and the remote search icon
will display continuously.
Press the reset button on the outdoor unit again to
pair.
When the signal is reacquired, the remote search
icon will turn off and the current value will be
displayed.
You can also reset the transmitter.
After the transmitter is powered on, if the indicator
light blinks every 60 seconds it means the outdoor
unit is working properly.
After the transmitter is powered on and working pr
operly, the display has to be re-plugged in to re-
receive the transmitter signal. It usually takes 1-
3 minutes to receive the data, do not operate the k
eys or power off until the transmitter data is receiv
ed.
If this still does not help, please follow the steps
below to reconnect the transmitter and display to
troubleshoot poor connections.
1. Remove the batteries of the transmitter and the
display.
2. Unplug the display from the power supply.
3. Put batteries in the transmitter.
4. Plug in the power of the display.
5. Put the batteries in the display after the display
lights up and the data show dashes.
Also, you can try to replace the batteries in the
transmitter with new ones.
In most cases, the maximum line-of-sight
communication distance is 100 meters (330 feet)
48
and 30 meters (100 feet). Move the sensor
assembly closer to the display console, if possible.
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5
meters/5 feet), move the sensor assembly away
from the display console.
Install a new set of batteries for the remote sensor.
In cold weather environments, install lithium
batteries.
Make sure the remote sensor is not transmitting
through solid metal (as an RF shield) or earth
barriers (under a mountain).
Keep the display console away from devices that
generate electrical noise, such as computers,
televisions, and other wireless transmitters or
receivers.
Display console has weak
contrast
Replace the console batteries with a new set of
batteries.
Indoor temperature and
humidity data is
incorrect/the display
shows incomplete data
You can reset the display console to factory
defaults by pressing and holding the WIND+ key for
at least three seconds while plugging in the power
supply. Then unplug the display and plug it back in.
(Remove the batteries before doing this)
If any data is not displayed, press and hold the
TEMP key for three seconds until a click is heard
and all data is displayed as dashed lines.
The display will reacquire the signal from the
transmitter. Once the signal is reacquired, all data
will be displayed.
Display brightness is very
dim
Adjust the backlight (refer to Section 11).
If the brightness cannot be adjusted, it means that
the power adapter or the display interface has a
poor contact problem.

Weather forecast is
inaccurate
The weather icon is a weather forecast, an estimate
or summary of weather changes in the next 24 to
48 hours, which varies from place to place. This
trend is only a tool to predict how the weather will
change, and it should never be used as an accurate
method to predict the weather.
If you are just starting to use the weather station,
wait for about a week for the pressure sensor to
slowly adapt to the environment, and then adjust
the data and weather forecast.
After using it for a while, if the weather forecast is
still inaccurate, you can follow the steps in the
manual to manually set the weather icon to show
the actual weather.
Rainfall display is
incorrect/zero
Check and verify the following points when you find
you rainfall is not working or inaccurate:
1. Make sure that the level bubble is seated in the
small black circle in the installation. Sloping
installation might cause incorrect readings or
device failure.
2. Shake the sensor array back and forth. After
hearing the click sound inside the sensor array,
observe whether the rainfall reading in the console
changes.
3. Check whether the funnel in the rain collector
was blocked by tree leaves or debris. Remove the
rain collector to check whether the rain tip was
blocked by insects or debris.
4. Check whether different rainfall histories are
correct. Check the Quick Mode part in the
instruction manual to know how to get rainfall
histories in different periods.
5. An example on how rainfall histories for different
periods are calculated.

6. How to verify the rainfall accuracy
A：Use a bottle containing 500g or 500ml of water.
B：Drip water slowly into the rain collector. DO
NOT POUR WATER QUICKLY.
C. Observe the rainfall reading of the console after
the water is completely poured out. It should be
5.46cm +/-5%. （5.46cm=54.6mm）
7. The rain gauge can not measure rainfall below
0.3mm due to limited resolution.
