2. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your KALEVOL Professional Weather Station for optimal performance.

2.1 Unpacking and Initial Placement

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Before permanent outdoor placement, it is recommended to place the main display unit and the outdoor sensor unit close to each other to ensure successful initial connection.

• Unpack the main display unit and the outdoor multi-sensor.
• Insert batteries into both units as per the instructions (if applicable, refer to power section).
• Place the main display unit and the outdoor sensor unit within close proximity (e.g., on a table indoors) to facilitate initial pairing.

2.2 Powering the Units

The main display unit can be powered via a DC adapter (not included) or 2xAA batteries. The wireless weather monitor (outdoor sensor) is powered by 3xAA batteries (not included) and a solar panel for extended life.

• Main Display Unit: Connect the DC adapter to the unit and a power outlet, or insert 2xAA batteries into the battery compartment.
• Outdoor Sensor Unit: Insert 3xAA batteries into the battery compartment. The integrated solar panel will help maintain battery life.

2.3 Sensor Connection and Atomic Clock Synchronization

Once powered, the devices will attempt to connect. Ensure successful connection before placing the outdoor sensor permanently.

• After plugging in the main display unit, it will automatically search for the WWVB signal for atomic clock synchronization. This occurs at 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, and 3:00 AM daily, and after a reset.
• During the atomic clock search, the screen may turn dark for approximately 7 minutes. This is normal behavior.
• If the screen does not stay on after the search, press the brightness adjustment button on the side of the host unit.
• Confirm that the main display unit shows outdoor sensor data, indicating a successful connection.

2.4 Outdoor Sensor Placement

For accurate readings, the outdoor sensor should be placed in an open area, away from obstructions that could affect wind, rain, or temperature readings.

• Mount the sensor securely on a pole or flat surface using the provided mounting hardware.
• Ensure the rain gauge is level and clear of debris.
• Position the wind vane and anemometer so they can freely rotate and are not obstructed by buildings, trees, or other structures.
• The wireless transmission range is up to 330ft (100m). Consider this distance when choosing a location.
