Setup Instructions

1. Powering On the Gateway

1. Connect the RF antenna to the designated port on the GW3010 Gateway.
2. Plug the USB power cable into the Type-C port on the gateway.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a 5V DC power adapter (not included) or a USB port.
4. The gateway will power on, and the status lights will indicate its initial state.

2. Network Connection

The GW3010 supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections. Choose the method that best suits your network environment.

Ethernet Connection (Recommended for simplicity):

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (not included) to the Ethernet port on the GW3010 Gateway.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your router.
3. The gateway will automatically connect to your network. No further Wi-Fi configuration is required.

Wi-Fi Connection:

1. Ensure the gateway is powered on.
2. Download and install the Ecowitt App or WS View Plus App on your smartphone.
3. Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device and configure the Wi-Fi settings for the GW3010. The app will guide you through connecting the gateway to your local Wi-Fi network.
4. Alternatively, you can access the gateway's integrated web page for Wi-Fi setup once it's connected to your local network. Refer to the app's documentation for specific steps.

3. Optimal Placement

For best performance, place the GW3010 Gateway and its RF antenna in an open area, away from large metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference. Maintain a distance of at least 50 cm between the gateway and its antenna for optimal signal reception.

Operating Instructions

1. Connecting External Sensors

The GW3010 Gateway can connect to a wide range of Ecowitt external sensors (sold separately) to expand your weather monitoring capabilities.

• Ensure your external sensors are powered on and within the GW3010's RF reception range.
• The gateway will automatically detect and connect to compatible sensors.
• Use the Ecowitt App or WS View Plus App to manage and view data from connected sensors.
• Supported sensors include: WS90/WS85/WS69/WS68/WS80 (external weather stations), WH31/WN30/WN34/WN36/WH55/WN35 (temperature/humidity/soil moisture sensors), WH51A/L/AC.1100/WFC01 (leaf wetness/water leak/soil moisture sensors), WH45/WH57/WH40/WH32/WH46 (PM2.5/lightning/rain/wind sensors).

2. Data Monitoring and Cloud System

Once connected to the internet, the GW3010 will upload sensor data to the Ecowitt cloud system.

• Access your data through the Ecowitt App or the Ecowitt website.
• View real-time data, historical graphs, and receive alerts based on your configured settings.
• The integrated 3-in-1 sensors provide indoor temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings directly from the gateway.

3. SD Card Data Logging

The GW3010 features an SD card slot for local data storage.

• Insert a Micro SD card (FAT32 format) into the Micro SD slot on the gateway.
• The system monitors the SD card status in real-time.
• Data logging intervals can be configured from 1 to 240 minutes via the app or web interface.
• You can insert or remove the SD card without restarting the device.
• Files on the SD card can be downloaded or deleted individually.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the gateway unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Ecowitt App or website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features. Follow the provided instructions for updating the firmware.
• SD Card Management: Regularly back up data from the SD card to prevent data loss. Ensure the SD card is properly formatted (FAT32) for compatibility.
• Resetting the Device: If the device is unresponsive or experiencing issues, you can perform a factory reset using the reset button. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more details.

Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the gateway and a working 5V DC power source.
  • Try a different USB power adapter or port.
• No Network Connection (Wi-Fi/Ethernet):
  • Ethernet: Verify the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the gateway and your router. Check your router's status.
  • Wi-Fi: Ensure the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password entered during setup are correct. Make sure the gateway is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router and the gateway.
  • Check the WiFi Status Light on the gateway for connection status.
• Sensors Not Connecting:
  • Ensure external sensors are powered on and have fresh batteries.
  • Verify sensors are within the GW3010's RF reception range.
  • Check the RF Status Light on the gateway for sensor communication.
  • Try repositioning the gateway or sensors for better signal.
• Data Not Uploading to Cloud:
  • Confirm the gateway has an active internet connection (check network connection steps above).
  • Ensure your Ecowitt account is properly linked in the app.
• SD Card Issues:
  • Ensure the SD card is formatted to FAT32.
  • Check if the SD card is inserted correctly.
  • Try a different SD card if issues persist.
• Factory Reset:
  • Locate the "Reset" button on the gateway (refer to Figure 1).
  • Use a small pin or paperclip to press and hold the reset button for approximately 10 seconds until the status lights change, indicating a reset.
  • Warning: A factory reset will erase all network settings and sensor pairings. You will need to reconfigure the gateway after a reset.
