Display Console Set Up It is recommended to plug in the power supply to reduce the battery consumption and extend the service life.
Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the console will time-out searching for the sensors. Power up the console last. Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m away from the console and within 30m of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it may not receive a proper signal. If you have more than one thermo-hygrometer transmitter, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on different channels. Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 11. Insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium)) batteries in the back of the display console. The display will beep once, and all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.
Note: The character contrast is best from a slightly elevated viewing angle.
Figure 11
Replace the battery door, fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position. The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure, tendency, moon phase, and time. The wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, rain, UV/sunlight, thermo-hygrometer sensors, integrated outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not press any menu buttons until the data from the outside transmitter is displayed, otherwise the outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated. When the outdoor transmitter data has been received, the console will automatically switch to normal mode, from which all further settings can be performed. While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed. If you have more than one thermo-hygrometer sensor (up to eight thermo-hygrometer sensors are supported), the display will automatically toggle between sensors until all sensors have reported in. If it does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 12.
14

Note: The power adaptor is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-table or cabinet outlet.
Figure 12
Note: If the power adaptor is plugged in, BL ON will display in the time area for three seconds when powered up. Conversely, if the power adaptor is not plugged in, AC OFF will be displayed, the icon will display. Sensor Operation Verification The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array. 1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times. You should hear a "clicking" sound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each "click" represents 0.3mm of rainfall. 2. Verify proper operation of the wind speed sensor. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a constant speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0. 3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature sensors. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature readings match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2°C (the accuracy is ±1°C). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilise. 4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity sensors. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity readings match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilise.

4. Weather Station Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation
Before installing your weather station in its 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, ensure proper operation, and familiarise 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 will need to clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two 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 15cm 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 6m tall, install it 4 x 6m = 24m away. Use common sense: if the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 100m, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, or high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Most applications will only reach 30m due to building obstructions, walls and interference.
5. Radio interference from devices 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.
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 100m line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 30m 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 aluminium 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 vs. the transmission medium. Each "wall" or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

4.4 Installation of Integrated Outdoor Transmitter
The DWS7100 can be used in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction as shown below.
Northern Hemispheres (NOR) The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) moulded on the body of the outdoor sensor are indicators for the Northern Hemisphere only. Step 1: There is an "S" indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 13. Align this "S" marker in the direction of South. Step 2: Console operation is set to Northern Hemispheres (NOR in the time area) in Location division.
Note: There are four letters of "N", "E", "S" and "W" around the wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. The 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 if the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.

17

Northern Hemispheres
Southern Hemispheres Figure 13 Southern Hemispheres (SOU) For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore these (N, S, E, W) and face the solar panel to the North (and in a sunny position) when it comes to installing the Integrated outdoor transmitter. Step 1: Install the Integrated outdoor transmitter and face the solar panel North. Step 2: Set the Console operation to Southern Hemispheres (SOU in the time area) in Location division.
Note: Permanent wind direction error of approximately 180º will occur if the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
18

Fasten the integrated transmitter to mounting pole brackets, with two 3 bolts and M3 nuts, as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14
19

Attach the included mounting pole to your existing mounting pole with the four5 bolts and M5 nuts assembly, or fix on the wall with four tapping screws, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15 20

4.5 Remote Thermo-hygrometer Transmitter installation
It is recommended you mount the Thermo-hygrometer sensor outside in a shaded area. A north-facing wall is preferred because it is in the shade most of the day. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water-resistant, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16
4.6 Low Battery Icons
A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for thermo-hygrometer sensor. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together. A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window of the Integrated outdoor transmitter. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.

9. Other Console Features
The following section describes additional features and display icons.
Weather Forecasting Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure.
In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalisation of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

Pressure is falling and the previous condition is cloudy.

Moon Phase The following moon phases are displayed, based on the calendar date.

`Feels Like' Temperature and AT `Feels like' temperature is a combination of Heat Index and Wind Chill. At temperatures less than 4.4°C (40°F), the wind chill is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Wind Chill Table below:
48

Figure 52 At temperatures greater than 26.7°C (80°F), the heat index is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Heat Index Table below:
When the temperature is between 4.4°C (40°F) and 26.7°C (80°F), the OUT temperature is displayed (`Feels Like' temperature is the same as OUT temperature).
49

The concept of apparent temperature (AT) is a linear regression that is not restricted and is more appropriate to outside conditions because it includes wind. and is intended as an assessment of what exposed body surfaces feel like in cold, windy conditions. Regression equations of this universal scale are formulated for `indoors'/'outdoors in shade but exposed to wind'/'outdoors exposed to wind and solar radiation'. Of these, `outdoors in shade but exposed to wind', has been chosen as most informative.
Pressure Threshold Setting The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted from 2 mbar/hour to 4 mbar/hour (default level: 2 mbar/hour).
The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant.
14.6 Restore Factory Default To restore the console to factory default (Wi-Fi network, Weather server and display), press the MIN/MAX/button while installing the batteries at the same time. Wait 3 seconds after installing the batteries to let go of the MIN/MAX /- button.

12. Troubleshooting Guide

Problem
Wireless sensor not reporting into console.
There are dashes (--.-) on the display console.

Solution
If the signal from any sensor is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, choose the lost sensor and the remote search icon
will be constantly displayed. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon will turn off, and the current values will be displayed.

The maximum line of sight communication range is 100m and 30m under most conditions. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display console.

If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move the sensor assembly away from the display console.

Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermohygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).

Move the display console away from electrical noise generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers.

Move the sensor to a higher location. Move the remote sensor to a closer location.

Temperature sensor reads too high in the daytime.

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a shaded area. The pre preferred location is a north facing wall because it is in the shade most of the day.

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not agree

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilise due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 2 °C (the sensor accuracy is ± 1 °C).

53

Problem

Solution
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor temperature to a known source.

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree
Display console contrast is weak Wi-Fi does not display on console.

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilise due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %).
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor humidity to a known source.
Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
Check your router for problems.
1. Check Wi-Fi symbol on the display. If wireless connectivity is successful, the Wi-Fi icon
will be displayed in the time field. 2. Make sure your modem Wi-Fi settings are
correct (network name, and password). 3. Make sure the console is plugged into AC
power. The console will not connect to Wi-Fi when powered by batteries only. 4. The console only supports and connects to 2.4 GHz routers. If you own a 5 GHz router, and it is a dual band router, you will need to disable the 5 GHz band, and enable the 2.4 GHz band. 5. The console does not support guest networks.

54

Problem
Data not reporting to www.wunderground.com or www.weathercloud.net

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 nonalphanumeric character (a limitation of Wundeground.com, not the station). Example, $worknet is not a valid password, but worknet$ is valid.
2. Confirm your station ID is correct. 3. Make sure the date and time is correct on the
console. If incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not real time data. 4. Make sure your time zone is set properly. If incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not real time data. 5. Check your router firewall settings. The console sends data via Port 80.
