1. Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Moongiantgo JLZ 143 Weather Station. This device is designed for comprehensive outdoor weather monitoring, providing accurate data on various environmental parameters.

2. Product Overview

The Moongiantgo JLZ 143 Weather Station is a compact and lightweight system that measures key weather data. It consists of an outdoor sensor unit and an indoor display console. The outdoor sensor unit is equipped with a solar panel for power and measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, rainfall, UV index, and illuminance. The indoor console displays this data in real-time and supports WIFI connectivity for data upload to dedicated websites for graphical analysis.

4. Setup

4.1 Powering the Console

The indoor display console can be powered by the included AC adapter or by 3 AAA batteries (not included). Using the AC adapter ensures the display remains continuously lit. If using batteries, the display may dim or turn off to conserve power.

Power supply options for the console and sensors.

Figure 4.1: Power Supply. This image shows the power options for the console (AC adapter or 3 AAA batteries), the thermo-hygrometer sensor (2 AAA batteries), and the weather sensor (solar panel or 3 AA batteries).

4.2 Installing the Outdoor Sensor Unit

The outdoor sensor unit is designed for easy installation. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically on a flat surface or pipe. Ensure the unit is placed in an open area, away from obstructions, to allow for accurate wind and rain measurements. The integrated solar panel will power the sensor, but it also requires 3 AA batteries (not included) as a backup.

9. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your weather station, regular maintenance is recommended.

Cleaning: Periodically clean the outdoor sensor unit, especially the rain collector and solar panel, to remove dirt, debris, or insects that may affect accuracy. Use a soft, damp cloth.
Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in the indoor console and outdoor sensor unit as needed. Low battery indicators will appear on the display.
Sensor Placement: Ensure the outdoor sensor remains securely mounted and free from new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage) that could interfere with measurements.

10. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No outdoor data on console	Outdoor sensor batteries low or dead. Console and sensor not synchronized. Distance too far or obstructions.	Replace outdoor sensor batteries. Restart both units and attempt re-synchronization. Reduce distance between units or remove obstructions. Max communication range is 100m (line of sight).
WIFI connection fails	Incorrect WIFI password. Console too far from router. Router not 2.4GHz compatible.	Verify WIFI password. Move console closer to the WIFI router. Ensure your router supports 2.4GHz WIFI.
Inaccurate rainfall data	Rain collector blocked by debris. Sensor not level.	Clean the rain collector. Ensure the outdoor sensor unit is perfectly level using the built-in bubble level.
