INTRODUCTION

LW301/302

Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientic™ Anywhere

Weather Kit (LW301) or Kit Basic (LW302). Either one can

collect weather data via a weather sensor receiver from

different accessorial sensors, and then send the data

back to Oregon Scientic Internet server via Internet-

connected hub through Internet. It also provides a solution

for the user to have a weather station connection that can

be remote accessed from their mobile device, such as

smartphone or tablet PC.

NOTE Please keep this manual handy as you use

your new product. It contains practical step-by-step

instructions, as well as technical specifications and

warnings you should know about.

GETTING STARTED

The provided sensors are battery operated. Each is capable

of transmitting data to the weather sensor receiver wirelessly

within an approximate operating range of 100 meters (328 feet).

NOTE

• Use disposable alkaline batteries for longer usage

and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures

below freezing. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat

such as sunshine or re.

SET UP REMOTE WIND SENSOR

as shown below. If you purchased model LW302

product and want to add more weather sensors,

please contact your local retailer or visit our website at

www.oregonscientic.com.

NOTE The power adapter of the Internet-connected hub

is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical 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.

NOTE If the network you use is restricted, please contact

the technical staff of that organization for support.

DOWNLOAD APPLICATION

2. On REG. STATION page, fill out

all elds (you can nd MAC ADDR.

and REG CODE at the bottom of the

Internet-connected hub).

3. The map displays your location.

You can make a zoom by simply

tap-and-drag the map by your two

ngers at a time. Once you nd out the

specic location for your new station,

press and hold until a red pin appears on

the map. (Tap the red pin again, you can

see New Station message pops up).

Tap DONE to conrm the selection.

4. Once successful, LIVE page with

real-time weather data will pop up.

If application fails to connect to a

station, the display goes back to

REG.STATION page again.

NOTE The default temperature and humidity data on

LIVE page is from your channel 1 of temperature and

humidity sensor.

NOTE The weather icon represents the weather situation

for the next 12 hours, not the real-time situation.

NOTE Please save a copy of your MAC ADDR. and

REG CODE for preventing the label faded or damaged

that cannot be recognized for registration in the future.

VERIFY CONNECTION

LW301/302

Before proceeding to install sensors outside, please verify

communication and transfer of data.

Enter MY WEATHER page, then tap HISTORY prole.

To search for a sensor:

Press and hold SEARCH (located at the back of the

weather sensor receiver).

NOTE Unit will search only for already registered sensor

or new sensor reset within last 30 minutes. To register a

new sensor, reset sensor prior to search.

TIP The transmission range may vary depending on

many factors. Sensors should be positioned in an open

area away from trees or other obstructions. Relocate your

sensor to various locations to have better reception.

MOUNTING / PLACING OF SENSORS

WIND SENSOR

LW301

Secure the sensor connector in the desired location:

a. Align the back of the sensor

connector to an existing pole.

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.

LW301_UM_EN_R8.indd 8 2012/8/14 3:06:27 PM

b. Insert 4 type A screws into the

holes of the sensor connector.

Screw rmly into place, i.e. fence.

Align the wind vane at against the

small end of the sensor connector,

and then slide it until it clicks into

place to lock the cover.

IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind

sensor is pointing north to enable it to

record accurate readings.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR

LW301/302

TIP Ideal placements for the sensor

would be in any location on the

exterior of the home at a height of not

more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can

shield it from direct sunlight or wet

conditions for an accurate reading.

Secure the sensor in the desired

location using the wall mount bracket

or table stand.

RAIN GAUGE

LW301

The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about

1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from

trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an

accurate reading.

To ensure a level plane:

Put a few drops of water on the cross

at the base of the funnel to check the

horizontal level.

Water will pool to the centre of the cross

when the rain gauge is level.

If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is

not horizontal.

If necessary, adjust the level using

the screw.

NOTE For best results, ensure the base

is horizontal to allow maximum drainage

of any collected rain.

TIP Erase all testing data from application

before formal use.
