3. Product Overview

3.1 Main Display Unit

The main display unit features a large LCD screen that simultaneously shows indoor temperature and humidity, along with readings from up to three remote sensors. It includes several buttons for configuration and data viewing.

• MIN/MAX Button: Used to view the minimum and maximum recorded temperature and humidity values.
• ALARM Button: Used to set and activate temperature and humidity alarms.
• CHANNEL Button: Used to switch between displaying individual remote sensor channels or to activate an auto-cycle display.
• ADJUST (+/-) Buttons: Used to adjust values during settings configuration.

3.2 Wireless Remote Sensors

Each remote sensor is a compact unit designed to measure temperature and humidity in its location and transmit data wirelessly to the main display unit. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, provided they are protected from direct weather elements.

4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

Proper battery installation is crucial for the correct functioning of your weather station.

1. Main Display Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
2. Remote Sensors: Open the battery compartment on each remote sensor. Insert 2 appropriate batteries (typically AAA), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

Note: It is recommended to install batteries in the remote sensors first, then in the main display unit, to facilitate easier pairing.

4.2 Sensor Pairing

After installing batteries, the main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the remote sensors.

1. Place all remote sensors within close proximity (e.g., 1 meter) of the main display unit.
2. Ensure each remote sensor is powered on. Each sensor has a channel switch (1, 2, or 3). Assign a unique channel to each sensor.
3. The main unit will display readings for each connected sensor. This process may take a few minutes. If a sensor does not connect, try removing and reinserting its batteries, or pressing the 'CHANNEL' button on the main unit to initiate a search.

4.3 Placement

Optimal placement ensures accurate readings and reliable wireless transmission.

• Main Display Unit: Place the main unit indoors on a stable surface or mount it on a wall. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with high electromagnetic interference (e.g., near TVs, computers).
• Remote Sensors: Place remote sensors in desired monitoring locations. For outdoor use, ensure sensors are protected from direct rain, snow, and prolonged direct sunlight. A sheltered spot under an eaves or porch is ideal. The wireless range is approximately 60 meters (200 feet) in open air, but walls and obstacles will reduce this range.

5. Operation

5.1 Display Information

The main display unit provides a clear overview of current conditions:

• Indoor Section: Displays the current temperature and humidity measured by the main unit itself.
• Sensor 1, 2, 3 Sections: Each section displays the current temperature and humidity from the corresponding remote sensor.

5.2 Button Functions

• MIN/MAX: Press once to view maximum recorded temperature and humidity. Press again to view minimum recorded values. Press and hold to clear recorded MIN/MAX data.
• ALARM: Press to enter alarm setting mode. Use the ADJUST (+/-) buttons to set desired high/low temperature or humidity thresholds. Press ALARM again to confirm and move to the next setting. Press and hold ALARM to activate/deactivate the alarm function.
• CHANNEL: Press to manually cycle through the remote sensor channels (1, 2, 3). Press and hold to activate the auto-cycle feature, which will automatically display readings from each sensor in sequence.
• ADJUST (+/-): In setting modes (e.g., alarm setting), these buttons are used to increase or decrease values.

5.3 Setting Alarms

The weather station can alert you when temperature or humidity exceeds predefined limits.

1. Press the ALARM button to enter alarm setting mode.
2. The display will show the current alarm setting for a specific parameter (e.g., high indoor temperature). Use the ADJUST (+/-) buttons to set your desired value.
3. Press ALARM again to move to the next alarm parameter (e.g., low indoor temperature, high indoor humidity, low indoor humidity, then cycling through each sensor's high/low temperature and humidity alarms).
4. Once all desired alarms are set, press and hold the ALARM button to exit the setting mode and activate the alarms. An alarm icon will appear on the display.
5. When an alarm condition is met, the unit will emit an audible alert and the corresponding reading will flash. Press any button to silence the alarm.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. For optimal performance, replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality batteries.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the main unit and sensors with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic casing and display. Ensure no moisture enters the battery compartments or sensor openings.
