POWER THE BASE STATION
1. Insert the 3 AA batteries (included) to the battery compartment of the base station
for back-up usage, matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
2. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Micro USB power jack, then plug into
a standard AC outlet.
NOTE
• The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into
a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet. The socket-outlet shall be installed
near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
POWER THE ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR
Insert the 4 AA batteries (included) to the MAIN UNIT battery compartment, matching
the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
(Optional) Install 4 AA batteries (not included) to the DUST SENSOR battery
compartment for back-up usage, matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
NOTE
• If you will be connecting more than one all-in-on sensor, slide the channel
switch CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 to select another channel before replace the battery
compartment cover.
• For longer performance, recommend to use alkaline batteries and consumer
grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
• Replace the batteries when displays on the base station. Press RESET after
each battery replacement.
MOUNTING THE ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR
The sensor is capable of transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an
approximate operating range of 300 m (1000 feet). Ideal locations for the sensor would
be in any location on the roof of a building that is in an open area away from trees or
other obstructions preventing from the wind ow for an accurate reading. Additionally,
locate the sensor in direct sunlight for optimal power supply to the solar panel.
Solar panel facing: If you reside in the:
North Southern Hemisphere
South Northern Hemisphere
Secure the all-in-one sensor connector in the desired location:
1. Align the back of the sensor connector to an existing pole.
2. Secure in place by inserting the ends of the U-bolt into the holes on the sensor
connector and securing it with washers and bolts.
3. Securely locate the pole in your desired outdoor area.
NOTE
• Make sure the water bubble in the level indicator on the top surface stays within
the circle. Check the balance status regularly for an accurate rainfall rate reading.
• Ensure the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it be record accurate readings.
Press and hold SET NORTH for 3 seconds at the bottom of the sensor to
calibrate the direction. You can use a compass to look for an accurate direction of
north if necessary.
• Press RESET button on the main unit to erase all testing data.
PAIRING THE SENSOR

2. Press or to select "Sensor pairing", then press PAIR to conrm. A message
"Pairing sensor" with the 60 seconds countdown time will display and the base
station starts to search for the sensor. When successfully paired, select the sensor
channel on the base station to view the weather contents of the paired sensor.
To select a sensor channel
1. Press SELECT repeatedly to navigate icon to any area except the indoor
temperature/heat index/dew-point area.
2. Press or to select a sensor channel.

[Yes]: Press DOWN, [No]: Press MODE/MAIN".
2. Press to remove/disconnect the specic sensor (channel).
NOTE
• Complete the pairing within 30 minutes after you power up or reset the sensor.
Otherwise, the base station will stop searching the sensor.
• To replace a specic sensor, remove it before replacing.
• If the new sensor is successfully paired, the new channel number and weather contents
will display. Otherwise, the base station will still display the data from the old sensor.
• If the base station cannot receive the weather data from the sensor, or “- -“
displays as the data value. Press and hold PAIR to search the sensor again.
“- -“ means lost link.
“NA” means data not available or data cannot be calculated.

MAINTAINANCE
Maintain the Rain Gauge
Clean the hole of the rain collector and the tipping bucket for maintaining accuracy is
very important. Unscrew the tipping bucket and clean the dirt by water periodically.
Maintain the Wind Sensor
If the wind cup doesn’t spin in the wind or does not spin as fast as they should.
Remove the wind cup and clear out all bugs, spider webs or debris.
NOTE
Do not apply any uid lubricant on the shaft and bearing. It probably breaks
the inner electronic components.
