Sensor Descriptions and Model Differences

Warnings for Installation:

• Metal objects, including mounting poles, can attract lightning strikes. Never install during a storm.
• Consult a licensed electrician for proper grounding when mounting to a structure. A direct lightning strike can damage property and the product.
• Installing at high locations can be dangerous. Perform initial checks indoors. Install only on clear, dry days.
• Set up the system and sensors in an accessible temporary location first to ensure normal operation before permanent installation.
• When mounting sensors, keep your phone handy to check the data display and ensure the GW1100 gateway reliably picks up the signal before fixing the sensor.

Model Difference Overview (GW1101, GW1102, GW1103, GW1104):

Note on WN31/WN32: WN31 (EN31) and WN32 are similar but have different functions. WN32 is a dedicated outdoor temperature and humidity sensor with higher priority. WN31 (EN31) is a dip-switch selectable multi-channel sensor supporting up to 8 channels, operating on 2x AA Alkaline batteries.

Sensor Details:

WH40 Rain Gauge:

Ensure the funnel is locked firmly and aligned. The battery door must be tightly sealed. Uses 1x AA Lithium (non-rechargeable recommended) battery. LED flashes every 49 seconds during normal operation. Press "RESET" if the LED is off or stays on.

WS68 (Wind & Solar):

Operates on 1x AA battery (Lithium recommended). Components: 1. Wind speed cups, 2. Wind vane, 3. Connection tube, 4. U-Bolts, 5. Mounting Pole (not included), 6. LED (red) for data transmission, 7. Light sensor and UV sensor, 8. NORTH arrow, 9. Solar panel, 10. Reset button.

WS69 (Sensor Array):

Requires 2x AA Lithium (recommended) or Alkaline batteries. LED flashes every 16 seconds. Press "RESET" if the LED is off or stays on. Components: 1. Wind Speed cups, 2. Wind Vane, 3. Thermo- and hygro-meter sensors, 4. Rain collector, 5. Bubble level, 6. Solar panel, 7. Antenna, 8. U-Bolts, 9. Battery compartment door, 10. Reset button, 11. LED (red) for data transmission, 12. Light sensor and UV sensor.

WS80 (Sonic Wind):

Requires 2x AA Lithium (recommended) or Alkaline batteries. LED flashes every 5 seconds. Press "RESET" if the LED is off or stays on. Components: 1. Surface tension conditioner layer (patent pending), 2. Battery compartment, 3. Temperature & humidity sensor, 4. Light & UV sensor, LED indicator, 5. Solar Panel, 6. NORTH alignment indicator, 7. Mounting arm, 8. Mounting bracelet and U-bolt set, 9. Power cord for built-in heater (12v 1.0A), 10. USB port (factory use only), 11. Calibration button (factory use only), 12. Reset button.

Mounting: Surface mounting or pole mounting (pole not included).

Additional Sensor Descriptions

Sensor Registration:

When a new sensor is powered, the GW1100 gateway usually picks up the data automatically. If the gateway has previously memorized sensor IDs from factory QC, go to the live data page and perform a "register" action to force the gateway to search for new sensors.

WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor:

WH51 measures soil moisture level and is useful for tracking relative moisture changes. It can remind users when to water plants, preventing them from becoming too dry.

Model Difference Overview (GW1105, GW1105N, GW1106, GW107):

These Ecowitt home care series products measure air quality and garden plants' soil moisture.

*: Refer to the description below for sensor quantity supported.

WH43, WH45N, WH45 Sensors:

These models are similar in housing and designed for indoor air quality measurement. They are powered via USB ports, with two AA alkaline batteries serving as backup. Sensors wake up and measure once per minute. A faint fan sound may be noticeable at night. Note: WH45 and WH45N cannot be received simultaneously by the same GW1100 gateway; only one can be paired. WH43 supports up to 4 devices simultaneously.

Sensor Components:

• 1. LED Indicator (RF transmission)
• 2. Battery Cap
• 3. Soil Moisture Sensor (for WH51)
• 4. Battery Door Protection Cover

Installation: Place one AA alkaline battery in the sensor and close the battery door. Place the extra protection sensor cap over the battery door for better sealing against moisture.

Sensor Components (General):

• 1. Red LED Indicator (RF transmission)
• 2. AC Adapter USB Power Port
• 3. Battery Compartment Cover
