Raddy WF-55C Weather Station User Manual

Read Before Use

• Do not clean any part of the product with benzene, thinner, or other solvent chemicals. If necessary, clean it with a soft cloth.
• Do not dismantle or modify the product in any way.
• Never immerse the product in water; it will damage the product.
• Do not subject the product to extreme force, shock, or fluctuations in temperature or humidity.
• Do not tamper with the internal components.
• Do not use new and used batteries together.
• Do not use different types of batteries (alkaline, standard, or rechargeable) with this product.
• Remove the batteries if storing this product for a long period of time, otherwise, the batteries might damage the product.
• Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste; it is necessary to separately collect it for special treatment.
• Do not place the base station in rain or moisture.
• The transmit range depends on the type of obstacles located between the transmitter and the receiver (e.g., a concrete wall will interfere with the signal much more than a plasterboard wall).
• Be sure the sensor is mounted vertically to allow moisture to drain out properly. Place out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.

Important Placement Guidelines

1. The distance between the base station and sensors should be at least 5 ~ 6.5 feet (1.5~2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Keep the base station away from metal window frames.
3. Please do not use other electrical products such as headphones or microphones operating on the same signal frequency (433.92MHz). Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the same signal frequency can also cause interference.
4. Place the base station in a dry area, free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.

Installation

Sensor Setup

Base station supports up to 3 sensors connection. The sensor switch is located inside the battery compartment; it can be switched to 1, 2, or 3, matching the information of Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3 that synchronize on the OUTDOOR Dashboard. Install 2 alkaline AA batteries to activate the sensor.

Base Station Setup

Remove the protective film that is applied to the LCD screen prior to using the product.

Plug in the power adapter for use. Battery power is optional, but since previous settings will be reset when unplugged, we recommend installing batteries for the base station.

The base station can stand upright on a table or be mounted on the wall.

Connecting the Sensor & Base Station

1. Install the batteries for the remote sensor and slide the channel number.
2. Plug the power adapter into the base station; it will then start to receive the sensor signal within 3 minutes.
3. If the red indicator of the sensor flashes twice, and you see the detected data displayed on the left of the screen, it means the sensor is connected with the base station.
4. When the red indicator of the sensor flashes once per minute, it indicates that it is updating the sensor data to the base station.
5. Example: When you slide to channel 1 for your sensor, you can see the data shown on the CH1 dashboard.

Low Battery Alert

1. When the battery-powered base station voltage is lower than 3.6V, or when the power for the remote sensor is lower than 2.5V, the low battery indicator will display on the screen, indicating it's time to change the batteries.
2. When powered by the DC adapter, the batteries can memory the time and date. Even though the base station power is off, the memorized settings will not be reset.
3. To avoid power running out, batteries getting rotten, and damaging the units, please change batteries on time when the low battery reminder shows up.
4. Please use alkaline dry batteries; do not use rechargeable batteries.

Max/Min Record

Press the [▼/MEM] button to check the MAX/MIN temperature and humidity records for the 3 channel sensors. The preference set order is as follows:

• Maximum temperature & humidity
• Minimum temperature & humidity

Current temperature & humidity.

The records will be cleared automatically at 00:00 every day, or manually cleared by pressing and holding the [▼/MEM] button.

Weather Forecast

Press the [▼/MEM] button to check the MAX/MIN temperature and humidity record for the 3 channel sensors. The preference set order is as follows:

• Maximum temperature & humidity
• Minimum temperature & humidity

The weather forecast is based on collecting hourly temperature & humidity from the outdoor sensor. The forecast station predicts weather conditions for the next 12 hours with 70-75% accuracy.

The default weather icon is partly cloudy. The base station will calibrate the weather report in 1-2 weeks with the outdoor temperature and humidity data.

The remote sensor should be placed outside to get accurate outdoor data, or it will affect the accuracy of the weather forecast.

Weather Icons

Comfort Index

Weather Forecast (Temperature Based)

When the temperature drops to 0~2.9°C, the snow icon will flash; when the temperature value is lower than 0°C, the snow icon will keep displaying at the top of the weather forecast.

Trends

The trend icon will display when the temperature increases by 1°C compared to the last data, or increases by 1°C in 1 hour.

The trend icon will display when the humidity value increases by 3% compared to the last data, or increases by 3% in 1 hour.

The reverse applies for decrease trends.

When the increase/decrease is less than 1°C or 3% in 1 hour, the trend icon will not display.
