Note: It is recommended to plug in the power adapter to reduce the battery consumption and extend the service life - 10 - 2. Display Console Batteries Installation Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 7. Install three AAA (alkaline or lithium)) batteries. The display will beep once and layout of display will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly. Figure 7 Replace the battery door, and unfold out the desk stand to place the console in the upright position Note: The battery is a back-up of weather station console, saving console settings when powered off from adaptor - 11 - 3.4.3 Connect Sensors with Display Console Once the display console is powered up, it will automatically scan all the nearby Integrated Outdoor sensors. Note: Do not press any button until all the remote sensors report in the display screen, otherwise the display console will terminate to connect with remote sensors. Note: While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed until all the measured values received. The console will automatically switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be performed. When connected with the Integrated Outdoor Sensor, the measured value (Outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, wind gust and average, rainfall, UV and Sunlight index, Dew point and feels like) will show up on the display console. Note: Make sure that the distance between weather station sensors and display console should be within 10ft (3m) to 100ft (30m). If the weather station sensors is too close or too far away, it may not receive a proper signal. 3.5 Sensor Operation Verification The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array. 1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the Integrated outdoor sensor back and forth several times. You will heard a "ticking" sound within the rain gauge. Verify the - 12 - rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each "ticking" represents 0.01 inch of rainfall. 2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a constant speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0. 3. Verify proper operation of in/outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 5 to 10' (1.5 to 3 meters) apart). The sensors should be within 4°F /2°C (the accuracy is ± 2°F/1°C). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 4. Verify proper operation of in/outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 5 to 10' (1.5 to 3 meters) apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 3.6 WiFi Setup Guide For weather station models with WiFi function, you can start to set up wifi connection and weather data uploading. For details of this part, please refer to the separate "WiFi Setup Guide" Manual. 4. Sensors Pre-installation 4.1 Test the Sensors Before Installation Recommend to operate and test the weather station for one week before installing it in the permanent location. In this - 13 - period, you can check out all of the functions, ensure proper operation, and familiarize with the professional weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station. 4.2 Site Survey Before Installation Do a site survey before installing the weather station. Take the following points into Consider: 1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two years. Provide as easy access to the weather station. 2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5ft (1.5m) from any building, structure, ground, or roof top. 3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20ft (6m) tall, install 4 x (20 6)' = 56ft (17m) away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate. 4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between display console and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 330ft (100m), assume there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless radio signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Most wireless applications will only reach up to100ft (30m) due to building obstructions, walls and interference. 5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing display console or mounting locations. - 14 - 4.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication Wireless communication is susceptible to other interference, such as distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best and useful practices for trouble-free wireless communication. 1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. 2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the wireless transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication. 3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300ft line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100ft maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls. 4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of sight. The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each "wall"or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below. Medium Glass (untreated) RF Signal Strength Reduction 5-15% Plastics 10-15% - 15 - Wood Brick Concrete Metal 10-40% 10-40% 40-80% 90-100% 5. Final Installation of Sensors 5.1 Integrated Outdoor Sensor Installation This Professional Weather Station can be used in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction. Note: There are four alphabet letter of N, E, S and W around the wind direction.(N is North, E is East, S is South, W is West) Northern Hemispheres Southern Hemispheres - 16 - 5.1.1 Northern Hemispheres (NOR) References. The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) molded on the body of the outdoor sensor are indicators for the Northern Hemisphere only. Step 1: There is a "S" indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 12. Check the wind directions with compass and Align this "S" marker in the direction of South. South North Figure 12 Step 2: Console operation set to Northern Hemispheres( NOR in the time area) in Location division. (Check the detailed step of setting the time area in the part 17 of Chapter 7.2) 5.1.2 Southern Hemispheres (SOU) References. For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore the direction (N, S, E, W), and face the solar panel to the North (and in a - 17 - sunny position) when it comes to install the Integrated outdoor sensor, as show in figure 8. Step 1: Install the Integrated outdoor transmitter and face the solar panel to the North. North South Figure 8 Step 2: Console operation set to Southern Hemispheres( SOU in the time area) in Location division. (Check the detailed step of setting the time area in the part 17 of Chapter 7.2) Note: The location division (NOR or SOU) on the Display Console and the directions of the sensor have to be adjusted to match with your real location. If the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation, permanent wind direction error will be introduced. 5.1.3 Mounting & Fixing the Sensor Horizontally - 18 - Fasten the integrated outdoor sensor to the mounting pole brackets with two foot-mounting screws Ø3 bolts and M3 nuts. Then, tighten the mounting pole to your existing mounting pole with the four bolts ( Ø5) and nuts (M5) , or fix it on the flat surface with four tapping screws, as show in Figure 9. Figure 9 F - 19 - 5.1.4 Mounting & Fixing the Sensor Vertically Fasten the integrated outdoor sensor to the mounting pole brackets with two foot-mounting screws Ø3 bolts and M3 nuts.

Note: The measured humidity range is between 10% and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately measured outside of this range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source. Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different location and typically update once per hour. The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary significantly from location to location. 9.1 Calibration of Temperature Mode In normal mode, press and hold the SET and CHANNEL/+ keys at the same time for five seconds to enter the temp - 32 - calibration mode.

Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. - 34 - Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Example: The calibrated pressure sources measure 28.37 inHg. The display console pressure reads 28.75 inHg. Offset = 28.37 - 28.75 = - 0.38 inHg Relative Pressure Calibration In the calibration mode, press the SET key again, the "REL" symbol will display at the pressure section, the relative pressure value will flash. (The default value is 0.00 inHg) Press the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key to increase or decrease the relative pressure value (in increments of 0.01 inHg). Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Example: The calibrated pressure sources measure 25.00 inHg. The display console pressure reads 24.85 inHg. Offset = 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 inHg Note: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct the pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the - 35 - sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb). The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013.2hpa). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013.2hpa) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low pressure. To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near from you (the internet is the best source for real-time barometer conditions, such as the website of Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station. Wind Speed Calibration In the calibration mode, press the SET button again and the wind speed value will flash (the default is 1.00). Press the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key to adjust the wind speed calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25, where: Calibrated Wind Speed = Calibration factor x Measured Wind Speed - 36 - Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Note: The wind gust is also affected by the wind speed calibration factor. Discussion: Wind speed and wind gust are adversely affected by installation constraints. The rule of thumb is to install the weather station four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction (for example, a 6 m house would require an installation 24 m away). In many instances, due to trees and other obstructions, this is not possible. The wind speed calibration allows you to correct for these obstructions. In addition to installation challenges, wind speed bearings (any moving part) wears over time. To correct for wear, the correction value can be increased until the wind cups must be replaced. Without a calibrated source, wind speed is a difficult parameter to measure. We recommend using a calibrated wind meter and constant, high speed fan. Rain Calibration In the calibration mode, press the SET button again and the rain value will flash (the default is 1.00). - 37 - Press the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key to adjust the rain calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25, where: Calibrated Rain = Calibration factor x Measured Rain Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Discussion: The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips every 0.01" of rain (referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can be compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of at least 4". Note: that debris and insects can collect inside the tipping mechanism (they make a good spiders nest). Carefully remove the funnel and inspect the tipping mechanism for debris prior to calibration. Sunlight Calibration In the calibration mode, press the SET button again and the sunlight value will flash (the default is 1.00). Press the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key to adjust the sunlight calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25, where: Calibrated Sunlight = Calibration factor x Measured Sunlight Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. - 38 - Press the ALARM key to reset current value. To exit the Sensor calibration mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console. If no operation is performed, the calibration mode will timeout in 30 seconds. 10. Other Features of Display Console 10.1 Weather Forecasting Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather changing conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather. 10.2 Weather Icons Condition Icon Description - 39 - Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy Rainy Pressure is rising and the previous condition is partly cloudy.

Temperatures greater than 26.7°C(80°F), the heat index is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Heat Index Table below: 10.4.2 Apparent Temperature (AT) AT is a linear regression that is not restricted, and is more appropriate to outside conditions because it includes wind, and was intended as an assessment of what exposed body surfaces feel like in cold, windy conditions Regression equations of this universal scale are formulated for indoors, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, and outdoors exposed to wind and solar radiation. Of these, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, has been chosen as most informative. - 42 - 10.5 Pressure Threshold Setting The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted from 2 hPa to 4 hPa (default level 2 hPa). The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant. 10.6 Restore Factory Default To reset the display console to factory default (WiFi network, Weather server and display), press the MAX/MIN/- key while plugging in power adaptor at the same time (Take out batteries before starting the reset operation). 11.
