INSTALLATION
Step 1
- To start up your TFA.me station, it must fi rst be connected to the Internet via your WiFi network. Following this it is necessary to confi gure the location.
- Please have your network password to hand.
- Connect the attached power adapter to the base station. Open the battery compartment of the base station.
- Insert three new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
- Note: The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure or change of location and maintain operation.
- Hold the GATEWAY button on the base station for three seconds.
- The station is now in the access-point mode.
- Note: The GATEWAY button is located inside the battery compartment of the station.
Step 2
Setup with smartphone or tablet
- Please deactivate the Internet connection via mobile data/network reception for the duration of the installation.
- Then open your WiFi settings and establish a connection to the station.
- You can recognise it by the name of the network and the station ID „TFA-ME-ID-XXX-XXX-XXX“.
- Note: The smartphone/tablet often reports shortly after connection that there is no Internet connection via this device. This is initially unimportant and can be ignored
Setup with a computer
Open your network administration and establish a connection to the station via WiFi. You can recognise it by the name of the network and the station ID „TFA-ME-ID-XXX-XXX-XXX“.
Note: Update the list of available networks if the station‘s WiFi is not displayed.
Step 3
Setup with WiFi CONNECTION
Open the „me.local“ page on your smartphone, tablet or computer using any internet browser.
Select your network (WiFi) on the page, enter the corresponding password and confi rm your entry with ENTER.
If reception is successful, a short signal tone sounds at the station. The WiFi symbol is displayed statically when the connection has been established
Note: As an alternative to „me.local“, the IP address „192.168.8.1“ can also be entered in the browser.
IMPORTANT! Your WiFi router must support the 2.4 GHz radio standard. For multi-band routers that support 2.4 and 5 GHz, the 2.4 GHz network must be switched on.
Step 4
Online platform TFA.me
- Open the „go.tfa.me“ via any Internet browser. Select „Set Location“ and follow the instructions to determine your location.
- The station then receives the correct local time and the weather forecast for this location.
- Once the location has been set, the setup of the base station is complete.
- Note: You can use your TFA.me weather station and receive weather data without registering. Registration and an account are only necessary if you want to query the local measured values of your TFA.me devices online via the platform.
- Further information on registration and setup can be found at www.tfa.me.
Step 5
Power up the transmitter (manually)
- Open the transmitter‘s battery compartment.
- Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
- All LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
- Then a version info appears briefl y.
- Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL button on the base station.
- Start the manual transmitter search by pressing the CHANNEL button on the base station for 3 seconds. The reception symbol for the outdoor transmitter will be fl ashing.
- Now briefl y press the TX button in the battery compartment of the transmitter.
- The measured values will be transmitted manually.
- The transmitter has its own ID number (nine digits, alphanumeric). A sticker with the ID number is attached to the transmitter (usually in the battery compartment).
Note:
Place the transmitter at your chosen location. Should you decide to use the transmitter in the outdoor area, choose a shady and dry place. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
Step 6 (optional)
Multiple transmitters
- When showing more than one outdoor transmitter (max. 5) on the base station‘s display, insert new batteries in all transmitters, polarity as illustrated.
- Then restart the base station operation or start the manual search for the outdoor transmitters
