Main Console Unit
The main console unit features a radio-controlled precision clock with alarm and weather forecast.
It measures indoor temperature and humidity, and displays weather data collected by the remote
weather sensors. It also provides indication of the indoor/outdoor temperature, pressure and
humidity trends, and celestial information such as moon phase, and sunrise/set times.
The main console unit stores around 3300 weather records without a computer connection. When
linked to a computer using the USB cable and software provided, an unlimited number of weather
records can be displayed and saved onto the computer.
Remote Weather Sensors
The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer, anemometer (wind sensor) and rain
sensor. All data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the main console unit by wireless RF
(433.92Mhz). The weather station supports a maximum of 5 thermo-hygrometers, allowing 5
channels of temperature/humidity display.

Installing your weather station
Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors
Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first.
When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally
they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by
trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your
weather station.
Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor
accuracy.
Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)
1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor.
2. Set the channel with a slide switch.
3. Insert 2 x “AA” size 1.5V batteries.
4. Use a pin to press the “RESET” key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygrometer
sensors.
5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location.
Placement tips:
- The thermo-hygrometer sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from
direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as
under a roof.
- Use the wall mount and fittings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface.
- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.
- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete
structures, paving, patios and decks.
- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.
- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above
ground level.
Setting up the Rain Sensor
1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain
sensor in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Lift the top off the base and insert 2 x “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder.
3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise.
4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally
2-3 ft above the ground.
It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided.
5. The sensor must be accurately level for optimum performance. To check if the sensor is level,
remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the leveler. Additionally, a
bubble level or carpenter’s level may be used.
6. Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid. The screen will prevent any debris entering the
sensor.
Placement tips:
- The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls, fences, trees and other
coverings which may either reduce the amount of rainfall into the sensor, deflect the entry of
wind-blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may also be sources of
pollen and debris.
- To avoid rain shadow effects, place the sensor at a horizontal distance corresponding to two to
four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
- It is important that rain excess can flow freely away from the sensor. Make sure that water does
not collect at the base of the unit.
- The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet, hence do not place any magnetic objects
around the proximity of the sensor.
Setting up the Anemometer (wind sensor)
1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm, using the included small allen
key.
2. Insert the 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries (optional) into the battery compartment in the base, observing
the correct polarity. The anemometer is solar-powered.
The batteries will operate as a backup power source.
4. Insert the adapter into the jack. The rechargeable battery is already installed and now ready to use.
3. Pull off the protection foil from the solar panel.
5. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided. To allow the main
console unit to indicate the correct wind direction, the wind vane must be oriented towards the
north, while the wind vane is in line with the anemometer’s arm. Use a compass if necessary.
Note: If the wind sensor cannot be fi xed with the anemometer’s arm towards the north, as provided
by the default setting, you have to adjust the anemometer manually:
i. Insert the backup batteries (where required) and plug the adapter into the jack.
ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass if necessary.
iii. Use a pin to press the “SET” key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor.
Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery.
Placement tips:
- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby buildings,
trees or other structures.
- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and obstacles. The
ground creates a frictional effect to wind flow and will attenuate readings.
- Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your area.
- The official mounting location for anemometers is 10m (33 ft) above ground level in a clear
unobstructed location.
Setting up the Main Console Unit
1. Open the latch at the back of the main console unit.
2. Insert 4 x “AA” size 1.5V batteries according to the polarities shown.
3. Reattach the latch.
4. You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feature of the automatic
backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used.
5. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and adjust to
the optimal viewing angle.
6. If mounting the console unit on a wall or vertical surface, fold the table stand back into the unit
and use the fitting provided.
Placement tips:
Make sure that the console unit is within receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally sensors
should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees,
metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your
weather station.

The console unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals from all
remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts. Avoid placing the console unit in the following areas:
- Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat.
- Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.
- Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby
listening devices) and electronic appliances.
Starting up the Main Console Unit
Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and weather
parameters. Wait for a few minutes for the console to finish self-calibration and for the sensor
readings to show up.
If “ --- ” is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and the
batteries for the corresponding sensor.
You can try to orient the antenna for a better reception.
