1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Weather WH2902 WiFi OSPREY Solar Powered Wireless
Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation
and troubleshooting.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.
Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home.
Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In
addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to install, operate the weather
station, and upload to the internet, along with references to the pertinent sections.

4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout
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 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the rechargeable batteries every
2-3 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
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 20’
tall, and the mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field
can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as
buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal
buildings. Under most conditions, the maximum wireless range is 100’.
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. Make sure your display console is at least five feet away from any electronic device
to avoid interference.
5. Getting Started
The weather station consists of a display console (receiver), an all in one sensor array, and wireless
thermo-hygrometer-barometer.

5.3.4 Install Batteries
Reference Figure 5. Insert 3 x AA non-rechargeable batteries (not included) into the battery
compartment. The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds, and then
flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).

Figure 5
Note: If the LED does not light up, or stays on permanently, make sure the battery polarity is
correct, or the batteries are fresh. Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage
the thermo-hygrometer.
Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are
sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages,
do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
Version 1.0

5.3.5 Install Mounting Pole
Reference Figure 6. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a bracket that tightens around
a 1 to 2” diameter pole (not included) using the four U-Bolt nuts.
(a)
(b)
Figure 6
Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure the sensor array is completely level. If the
sensor array is not level, the rain gauge will not measure properly.
5.3.5.1 Aligning the Wind Direction
Locate the four wind vane compass rose indicators of N, E, S, W (representing North, East, South and
West) at the base of the wind vane. Align the compass rose direction upon final installation with a
compass or GPS.
5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s) upright on a vertical surface,
such as a wall. Do not lay the sensor flat.
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 915 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 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.

6.4 Barometric Pressure Display
6.4.1 Viewing Absolute vs. Relative Pressure
To switch between absolute and relative pressure, press and hold the [PRESSURE -] button for two
seconds.
Absolute pressure is the measured atmospheric pressure, and is a function of altitude, and to a lesser
extent, changes in weather conditions.
Absolute pressure is not corrected to sea-level conditions.
Relative pressure is corrected to sea-level conditions.

For further discussion of relative pressure and
6.4.2 Rate of Change of Pressure Graph
The rate of change of pressure graphic is shown to the left of the barometric pressure and signifies the
difference between the daily average pressure and the 30 day average (in hPa).
Version 1.0
Page 15
Figure 15
6.4.3 Viewing Pressure History
Press the [PRESSURE -] button to view the 12 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour and 72 hour pressure average.
6.4.4 Relative Pressure Calibration Discussion
To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to
sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected
pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your
measured pressure.
Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but
the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).
The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure
around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are
considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low
pressure.
To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the
internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or
Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

6.10.3 Calibration Discussion
The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices
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 source you can compare it against, and is
optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce
manufacturing 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, which vary significantly from location to location.

(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 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 48 hours. Compare this temperature to the fluid thermometer and
adjust the console to match the fluid thermometer.
Version 1.0
Page 24
(2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to
contamination. In addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation
over dirt vs. 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.
(3) The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative
(corrected to sea-level).
To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure
to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level
corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally
higher than your measured pressure.
Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305
m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).
The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level
pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013
mb) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are
considered low pressure.
To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near
you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or
Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.
(4) Only use this if you improperly installed the weather station sensor array, and did not point
the direction reference to true north.
(5) Wind speed is the 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’.
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 and a constant speed, high speed fan.
(6) The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips
every 0.01” 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”.
Make sure you periodically clean the rain gauge funnel.

6.16.1 Weather Forecasting Description and Limitations
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 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.
The National Weather Service (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.

Definition
Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the
quantity being measured.
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure.
Calibration is a comparison between measurements – one of known magnitude or
correctness of one device (standard) and another measurement made in as similar a
way as possible with a second device (instrument).
The dew point is the temperature at which a given parcel of humid air must be
cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The
condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation temperature.
The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity
indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. Relative
humidity of 100% indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and the
air is maximally saturated with water. When the dew point remains constant and
temperature increases, relative humidity will decrease.
The Heat Index, sometimes referred to as the apparent temperature, is a measure of
how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored with the actual air
temperature.
To find the Heat Index temperature, look at the Heat Index chart below. As an
example, if the air temperature is 96°F and the relative humidity is 65%, the heat
index (how hot it feels) is 121°F.
IMPORTANT: Since heat index values were devised for shady, light wind
conditions, exposure to full sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15°F.
Also, strong winds, particularly with very hot, dry air, can be extremely hazardous.
The Heat Index Chart shaded zone above 105°F shows a level that may cause
increasingly severe heat disorders with continued exposure or physical activity.
Heat Index is not calculated below 80°F.

Definition
A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative humidity is a
term used to describe the amount or percentage of water vapor that exists in air.
Pressure in Imperial units of measure.
1 inch of mercury = 33.86 millibars
A rain gauge is a device that measures liquid precipitation (rain), as opposed to solid
precipitation (snow gauge) over a set period of time.
All digital rain gauges are self emptying or self dumping (also referred to as tipping
rain gauge). The precision of the rain gauge is based on the volume of rain per
emptying cycle.
Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured.
Measured barometric pressure relative to your location or ambient conditions.
Resolution is defined as the number of significant digits (decimal places) to which a
value is being reliably measured.
A solar radiation sensor measures solar energy from the sun.
Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction
that creates electromagnetic energy. The spectrum of solar radiation is close to that
of a black body with a temperature of about 5800 K. About half of the radiation is in
the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly
in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature. Most digital thermometers are
resistive thermal devices (RTD). RTDs predict change in temperature as a function
of electrical resistance.
A wind vane is a device that measures the direction of the wind. The wind vane is
usually combined with the anemometer. Wind direction is the direction from which
the wind is blowing.

12. Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Outdoor sensor array
does not communicate
to the display console.
Solution
The sensor array may have initiated properly and the data is registered by the
console as invalid, and the console must be reset. Press the reset button as
described in Figure 1.
With an open ended paperclip, press the reset button for 3 seconds to
completely discharge the voltage.
Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar panel to
drain the voltage.
Put batteries back in and resync the console (Section 6.12) with the sensor
array about 10 feet away.
The LED next to the battery compartment will flash every 16 seconds. If
the LED is not flashing every 16 seconds…
Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array.
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the sensor is
flashing every 16 seconds, proceed to the next step.
There may be a temporary loss of communication due to reception loss
related to interference or other location factors,

or the batteries may have been changed in the sensor array and the console
has not been reset. The solution may be as simple as powering down and up
the console (remove AC power and batteries, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert
AC power and batteries).
Make certain that the sensor array is not too close to heat generating sources
or strictures, such as buildings, pavement, walls or air conditioning units.
Use the calibration feature to offset installation issues related to radiant heat
sources. Reference Section 6.10.
You may be viewing the absolute pressure, not the relative pressure.
Select the relative pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to
an official local weather station. Reference Section 6.4 for details.
An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting pole) may result in the
tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a
stable, level mounting solution.
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, $oewkrf
is not a valid password, but oewkrf$ is valid.
