Package Contents

Before proceeding with the setup, please ensure all components are present:

• Main Display Unit (Indoor Console)
• 5-in-1 Outdoor Sensor Unit (includes wind vane, anemometer, rain collector, thermo-hygrometer)
• Mounting Pole and Hardware
• Power Adapter for Main Display Unit
• User Manual (this document)

Note: 3 x AA batteries for the outdoor sensor and 1 x CR2035 button cell battery for the main display unit (for memory backup) are not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

Outdoor Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the outdoor sensor unit. Insert 3 x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely to protect against weather.

Main Display Unit: Insert 1 x CR2035 button cell battery into the designated slot, typically located at the back or bottom of the unit. This battery provides backup power for settings in case of a power outage. Connect the power adapter to the main display unit and plug it into a wall outlet. The display will illuminate.

2. Sensor Placement and Mounting

The outdoor sensor should be mounted in an open area, away from obstructions that could affect wind, rain, or temperature readings. Ideal placement is at least 3 meters (10 feet) above ground level. Ensure it is easily accessible for maintenance.

The sensor can be mounted on top of a pole, on the side of a structure, or directly onto a wooden post using the provided mounting hardware. Orient the wind direction vane correctly, typically pointing North, for accurate readings.

3. Initial Pairing and Time Synchronization

Once powered, the main display unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Ensure both units are within range (up to 868 MHz frequency for high transmission range).

The weather station can synchronize its time via the internet if connected to Wi-Fi, or manually set. For manual time setting, refer to the detailed online manual from Bresser's website.

4. Wi-Fi Setup and Online Data Sharing

To enable online data sharing and access your weather data remotely, you need to connect the weather station to your Wi-Fi network and register with a compatible online weather service like Weathercloud.net or Wunderground.com.

1. Register Online: Create a free account on Weathercloud.net and/or Wunderground.com. Note down your Station ID and Key/Password from these services.
2. Activate AP Mode: On the main display unit, press and hold the designated Wi-Fi button (refer to the unit's back panel or buttons) for more than six seconds to activate Access Point (AP) mode. The display will indicate it's in AP mode.
3. Connect via Device: Using a smartphone or computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the weather station (it will typically appear as "WeatherStation_XXXX").
4. Configure Settings: Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address provided in the manual (e.g., 192.168.1.1). This will open the station's configuration page.
5. Enter Wi-Fi Credentials: Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list, enter its password, and input the Station ID and Key/Password obtained from Weathercloud/Wunderground.
6. Save and Restart: Save the settings. The weather station will restart and attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network and the online services.

Important: The detailed steps for Wi-Fi configuration, including the specific button and IP address, are best found in the comprehensive manual available for download on the Bresser website.

Navigating Data

Use the buttons on the front or side of the display unit to cycle through different data views, access historical records (MAX/MIN), or adjust settings. Common buttons include:

• CHANNEL: If you have additional sensors, this button cycles through their readings.
• HISTORY: Displays past weather data, such as hourly or daily records.
• MAX/MIN: Shows the maximum and minimum recorded values for various parameters over a period.
• SET/MODE: Used to enter settings mode or confirm selections.
• UP/DOWN Arrows: Used for navigation and adjusting values in settings.

The display brightness can often be adjusted using a switch or button on the back of the unit (e.g., High, Low, Off settings).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your weather station.

• Cleaning the Outdoor Sensor: Periodically inspect the rain collector for debris (leaves, insects) and clean it to ensure accurate rainfall measurements. The wind cups and wind vane should also be kept clear of obstructions. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the AA batteries in the outdoor sensor annually, or when the low battery indicator appears on the main display unit. The CR2035 battery in the main unit typically lasts longer but should be replaced if settings are lost during power outages.
• General Care: Keep the main display unit clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
