Set up Guide
Before you start, you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0, not
provided) and find the wrench (size M5) included in package.
Note:
We suggest you assemble all components of the weather station, including
(optional) console in one location so you can easily test functionality. After
testing, place the outdoor sensors in the desired location. Note, however,
that movement during assembly, and movement after assembly can cause
the rain sensor to “falsely” register rain. It is possible to reset the rain total
to 0 via WS View app.
Attention:
Follow the suggested order for battery installation (outdoor sensor(s)
first, indoor sensor(s) second, optional console last).
Ensure batteries are installed with correct polarity (+/-).
Only use new batteries for all battery-operated sensors.
Never
use rechargeable batteries of any kind, except for the anemometer
and rain gauge, where you can optionally use low-self-discharge type
rechargeable batteries.
If outdoor temperature may go below 32 F or 0 C for prolonged periods,
Lithium based batteries are suggested over alkaline type batteries for
any outdoor sensor.
