4. Setup Guide

4.1 Powering the Main Unit and Sensor

The main unit supports two power methods, while the outdoor sensor requires batteries.

  • Main Unit:
    • Connect the DC5V power adapter to the main unit and a power outlet for continuous display.
    • Alternatively, insert 2 x AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. The display will automatically turn off after approximately 15 seconds to save power when running on batteries.
  • Outdoor Sensor:
    • Insert 2 x AA batteries (not included) into the outdoor sensor's battery compartment.

4.2 Sensor Placement and Pairing

Place the outdoor sensor in a location that is protected from direct sunlight and rain, ensuring good ventilation. The wireless transmission range is up to 60 meters (200 feet) in open areas.

  • Ensure both the main unit and the outdoor sensor have power.
  • The main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This may take a few minutes.
  • If connection fails, press and hold the "CHANNEL" button on the main unit to initiate a manual search for the sensor. Ensure the sensor is within range.
  • The weather station supports up to three external sensors. To add additional sensors, set each sensor to a different channel (CH1, CH2, CH3) before pairing.

4.3 DCF Time Synchronization

The weather station automatically synchronizes its time and date via DCF radio waves. After restarting, the DCF signal will automatically synchronize within 7 minutes.

  • Ensure the weather station is placed in an area where it can receive the DCF signal.
  • The clock will automatically adjust for daylight saving time (RCC function).
  • You only need to select your time zone (-2 to +2), and the clock will handle the rest.
