1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Sainlogic Wireless Weather Station. This device provides comprehensive weather information, including indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rain gauge data, barometric pressure, and moon phases. It features a bright, full-color display and an outdoor sensor with a solar power transmitter for efficient operation. This manual will guide you through the setup, operation, and maintenance of your new weather station.
2. Package Contents
Please ensure all components are present before proceeding with the setup:
- Display Console (Base Station)
- Outdoor Sensor (5-in-1 unit with wind vane, anemometer, rain collector, temperature/humidity sensor, and solar panel)
- Power Adapter for Display Console
- Mounting hardware for outdoor sensor (e.g., pole, screws) - (Note: Specific mounting hardware may vary)
3. Setup Instructions
3.1 Powering the Units
The weather station consists of two main units: the Display Console (Base Station) and the Outdoor Transmitter (Outdoor Sensor).
- Base Station (Display Console): Requires 3x AA 1.5 V alkaline or lithium batteries (not included) for backup power, and a 5 V ~ 500 mA adapter for primary power.
- Outdoor Transmitter: Requires 3x AA 1.5 V alkaline or lithium batteries (not included). It also features a solar power transmitter to extend battery life.
Important: Insert batteries into the outdoor sensor first, then power on the display console. This ensures proper synchronization.
3.2 Outdoor Sensor Placement
For accurate readings, proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial:
- Mount the sensor in an open area, away from obstructions like buildings, trees, or fences, which could interfere with wind readings or block sunlight to the solar panel.
- Ensure the rain collector is level for accurate rainfall measurements.
- The transmission range is up to 300 feet outdoors. Choose a location within this range from the display console.
- The solar panel on the outdoor transmitter helps power the unit and extend battery life. Position it to receive maximum sunlight.
3.3 Initial Synchronization
After powering both units, the display console will automatically search for the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Once connected, outdoor data will appear on the display.
4. Operation
4.1 Understanding the Display
The full-color display provides a wealth of information at a glance:
- Date & Time: Current date and time.
- Wind Information: Wind direction (compass rose), current wind speed (GUST), and average wind speed (AVERAGE).
- Barometric Pressure (BARO): Absolute pressure (ABS) in hPa.
- Rainfall (RAIN): Total rainfall in mm.
- Temperature & Humidity: Indoor (IN) and outdoor (SENSOR TEMP OUT) temperature in °C/°F and humidity in %RH.
- Weather Forecast: Graphical icons indicating sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc.
- Moon Phases: Visual representation of the current moon phase.
4.2 Buttons and Settings
The display console typically includes 'SET' and 'ALARM' buttons (visible in some images) for configuration:
- SET Button: Used to enter settings mode for time, date, units (°C/°F, hPa/inHg, m/s/mph, mm/inches), and other preferences. Press and hold to enter settings, then use other buttons (e.g., '+' or '-') to adjust values, and 'SET' again to confirm and move to the next setting.
- ALARM Button: Used to set weather alarms (e.g., high/low temperature, high wind speed) or to activate/deactivate daily alarms.
- CH/TEMP Button: May be used to switch between different outdoor sensor channels (if multiple are supported) or to toggle temperature units.
5. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both the display console and outdoor sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the screen. Use high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries.
- Outdoor Sensor Cleaning: Periodically check the outdoor sensor for debris, especially the rain collector and wind sensors. Clean gently with a soft cloth and water if necessary. Ensure the solar panel is clean for optimal charging.
- Display Console Care: Clean the display console with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Winterization: In areas with harsh winters, consider bringing the outdoor sensor indoors or protecting it from extreme conditions if not designed for them.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No outdoor data displayed | Outdoor sensor not synchronized or out of range; low batteries. | Ensure batteries are fresh in both units. Bring outdoor sensor closer to the display console. Re-synchronize by removing batteries from both units, waiting a few minutes, then reinserting batteries into the outdoor sensor first, followed by the display console. |
| Inaccurate wind readings | Obstructions near the sensor; sensor not level. | Relocate the outdoor sensor to an open area. Ensure the sensor is mounted level. Check for debris in the wind cups/vane. |
| Inaccurate rain readings | Rain collector blocked or not level. | Clear any debris from the rain collector. Ensure the sensor is mounted level. |
| Display screen is blank or dim | Power adapter disconnected; low batteries in display console. | Check power adapter connection. Replace batteries in the display console. |
