5. Installation of the Sensor Array
5.1. Pre-installation Check
Before installing the weather station at 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 close to tall buildings,
wind speed and rainfall measurements will be inaccurate.
4. Radio signal range. Assuming no interference from buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines,
etc., the radio communication distance between the gateway 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 the gateway
console or installation location.
5.3.Adjusting the Sensor Mounting Direction
This professional weather station can be used 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)
12
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.
Figure 12
5.3.2.Southern Hemisphere Reference
For installing the integrated outdoor sensor in the Southern Hemisphere, disregard the four
13
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 facing north.
Figure 13
Note:
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.
14
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 with four bolts (Ø5)
and nuts (M5) or secure it to a flat surface with four self-tapping screws as shown. (Figure 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 is a table of reception loss, versus the transmission medium. Each “wall” or
obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below:
Medium
Radio Frequency (RF) signal strength
reduction
Glass (untreated)
5-15%
Plastic
10-15%
Wood
10-40%
Brick

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 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 the
sensor to stabilize for 48 hours.
（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. a lawn, for example).
Official stations recalibrate 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.
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 app 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.

Wind speed is the most sensitive to installation constraints. The guideline 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’.
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.

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:
View Period
Description
Example
1H
One hour delay from current time
If the current time is 08:25, the 1-hour
rainfall refers to the rainfall from 08:25 to
09:25.
24H
Same time from current time to
the day after
If the date is October 20 and the time is
08:25, the 24-hour rainfall is the amount
of rainfall from 08:25 (10.20) to 08:25
(10.21).
Week
From the beginning of the week
to the current time
If the current time is 08:25 on Thursday,
the weekly rainfall refers to the rainfall
from 00:00 on this Sunday to 08:25 on
this Thursday.
Month
From the beginning of the month
to the current time
If the current time is 08:25 on October
20, the monthly rainfall refers to the
rainfall from 00:00 on October 1 to 08:25
on October 20.
Total
Total rainfall since the most recent
start
If the start time is now October 20,
2024,then the total rainfall is
October 20, 2024 to October 20,
2025.
NOTE: Debris and insects can collect in the dump unit (they can form spider nests), so carefully
remove the rain collector and check for debris in the dump unit
before calibrating.

10. Feels Like Temperatures
The Feels Like Temperature is a combination of the Heat Index and the Wind Chill Index.
(1) When the air temperature is below 4.4°C (40°F), the Wind Chill Index is displayed, as shown in
the following National Weather Service Wind Chill Index table:
Figure 19
(2) When the temperature is above 26.7°C (80°F), the heat index is displayed, as shown in the
following National Weather Service heat index chart:

Note: Both the Wind Chill and Heat Index are displayed uniformly as it feels like.
11.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.
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
42
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.
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
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).
13. Maintenance
(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 the 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 21
(2) Clean the 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
Outdoor/Indoor data is not shown in
the APP
If the device is online, but the data still not be displayed
on the app.
Please follow the instructions below to troubleshoot.
1.Please press and hold the first button for 3 seconds, the
gateway will disconnect the pairing with the transmitter.
2.Then please reset the transmitter.
After the transmitter is powered on, if the indicator light
blinks every 60 seconds it means the outdoor unit is work
ing properly.
After the transmitter is powered on and working properly,
the display has to be re-plugged in to re-receive the trans
mitter signal. It usually takes 1-3 minutes to receive the d
ata, do not operate the keys or power off until the transm
itter data is received.
Install a new set of batteries for the remote sensor. In
cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.
3. Plug in the device with the power adapter.
Please press and hold the fourth button for 3 seconds to
enter the pairing mode, the indicator light (red) flashes
fast, the indicator light (red, green) will flash alternately
after successful pairing.
4.If the device shows offline on the app, you need to
reconnect to WiFi.
Rainfall display is incorrect/zero
Please check and verify the following points when you
46
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 reading or even not working.
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.
Presume that the current time is 08:42 22rd Sept. 2023
Rainfall Hour: 08:42-09:42
Rainfall Day: 08:42 on September22 to
08:42 on September 23
Rainfall Week: 00:00 Sunday to 08:42 today
Rainfall Month: 00:00 1st Sept. to 08:42 today
Rainfall Total: Total rainfall amount from the latest
powering on
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 dripped out. It should be 5.46cm
+/-5%. （5.46cm=54.6mm）
7. The rain gauge could not measure rainfall below
0.3mm due to limited resolution.
Note: One transmitter can connect to multiple gateway of the same model, but one gateway
cannot be connected to multiple transmitters at the same time.
Note: Please carefully check whether the model is consistent before purchasing. If you have
47
any questions, please consult after-sales service in advance.
