Introduction Thank you for your purchase this professional weather station. The outdoor sensor is solar powered and sends data to the console via a low-power radio. It allows you to upload your weather data to weather website: www.wunderground.com which you can share it with your friend. This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual to become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future reference. Installation Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at there final destination, please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct function. Outdoor sensor 1. Attach the wind vane Push the wind vane into the shaft. as shown in figure 1. Tighten the set screw with the Allen Wrench (included) as shown in figure 2. Make sure the wind vane spin freely. Figure 1 Figure 2 2. Insert the pole into the base, as shown in figure 3. Spin the lid onto the base as shown in figure 4. - 4 - Togue and groove joint Figure 3
Figure 4 3. Locate the battery door on the thermo-hygrometer / rain gauge transmitter, as shown in Figure 5. Turn the set screw counter clockwise to loosen the screw to open the battery compartment. Insert 3XAA rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission update period). Figure 5 Note: If no LED light up or is lighted permanently, make sure the battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset is happened. Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the thermo-hygrometer. - 5 -
4. Fasten the mounting pole to your mounting pole or bracket (purchased separately) with the two U-bolts, mounting pole brackets and nuts, as shown in Figure 6. Tighten the mounting pole to your mounting pole with the U-Bolt assembly, as shown in Figure 7.. Figure 6 Figure 7 there are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” representing for the direction of North, East, South and West, as Figure 8. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation. Level the sensors Use the bubble level on the rain sensor as a guide to verify that sensors are level. - 6 - Figure 8 Figure 9
indoor sensor Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor with a Philips screwdriver (there is only one screw, at the bottom of the unit). Insert two AAA batteries as shown in Figure 10 (we recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates). Replace the battery door and set screw. Note that the temperature, humidity and pressure will be displayed on the LCD display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
