4. Setup
4.1 Outdoor Sensor Array Installation
Proper placement of the outdoor sensor array is crucial for accurate readings. Choose an open location away from obstructions like buildings, trees, or fences that could block wind or rain. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight.
- Assembly: Assemble the wind cups, wind vane, and rain collector according to the instructions provided in the separate assembly guide (if applicable).
- Mounting: Mount the sensor array using the included U-bolts to a pole (not included). Ensure the array is level using the integrated bubble level (7).
- Orientation: Orient the wind vane correctly, typically pointing north, for accurate wind direction readings.
- Power: The outdoor sensor is solar-powered with a super capacitor and AA battery backup. Ensure batteries are installed for continuous operation during low light conditions.

4.2 Display Console Setup
- Power On: Connect the 5V DC adaptor to the power jack (4) on the display console. The console will power on automatically.
- Sensor Pairing: The display console will automatically search for and connect to the outdoor sensor array. This may take a few minutes. Ensure the outdoor sensor is powered on and within the 100m (330ft) transmission range.
- Initial Settings: Follow the on-screen prompts to set the time, date, and preferred units of measurement (e.g., °C/°F, km/h/mph).
4.3 WiFi Connection
Connecting your display console to WiFi enables real-time data access and uploads to online weather services.
- Access WiFi Settings: Navigate to the WiFi settings menu on the display console. Refer to the on-screen interface for specific menu navigation.
- Connect to Network: Select your 2.4GHz WiFi network from the list and enter the password.
- Confirmation: Once connected, a WiFi icon will appear on the display, indicating a successful connection.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Sensor Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the accuracy and longevity of your outdoor sensor array.
- Rain Collector: Periodically check and clean the rain collector funnel for leaves, insects, or debris that could obstruct rainfall measurement.
- Wind Sensors: Ensure the wind cups and wind vane spin freely. Remove any obstructions.
- Thermo-Hygro Sensor: Keep the radiation shield clean to allow proper airflow around the temperature and humidity sensors.
6.2 Battery Replacement
The outdoor sensor array uses AA batteries as a backup power source. Replace them annually or when the low battery indicator appears on the display console.
- Locate the battery door (10) on the outdoor sensor array.
- Open the battery compartment and replace the old batteries with new, high-quality AA batteries.
- Close the battery door securely.
7. Troubleshooting
