6. Battery Installation for the rain gauge
1. Unscrew the 2 screws at each side of the transmitter.
Carefully lift the top casing from the base.
2. Unscrew the 4 screws from the battery compartment
cover (identifi able by the battery diagram markings).
Remove the cover and insert 2 AA alkaline batteries
as indicated by the polarity symbols marked inside the
battery
compartment.
3. The rain cup has been sealed to prevent tipping and
damage during shipping. Before fi rst use please remove
the seal to allow the rain cup to fi ll and empty when
rainfall
occurs.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover and the
screws.
5. Carefully replace the casing on top of the base. Replace
the
screws
6. Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for
3 seconds and the total rainfall “- - - -“ will fl ash. The
monitor is now searching for all remote sensors. Total
rainfall reading (in this case “0” mm or inch) will appear
within 2 minutes if the RF transmission is successful
and the monitor & rain gauge are now within the
effective transmission range.
7. If total rainfall “- - - - “ stop fl ashing and stay on the
display after 2 minutes of searching, the RF
transmission is failed. Shorten the distance between
the monitor & rain gauge. Reset the rain gauge by
removing all batteries from the rain gauge and wait
for 10 seconds before re-installing the batteries again.
Then repeat step 5 (& 6) until the RF communication is
completed.
7. Mounting the rain gauge
Before mounting the rain gauge, be sure the rain gauge
& monitor are within the transmission effective range and
batteries are installed.
1. Hold the base of the rain gauge fl at against the
mounting surface then use a level to make sure the rain
gauge (as it rest on the mounting surface) is
horizontally
level.
2. Use a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting
holes on the base of the rain gauge to mark the screw
locations.
3. Drill a hole in the center of each marked location and
insert the supplied plastic screw plugs
4. Hold the rain gauge against the mounting surface so
the holes on the base are aligned with the plugs, then
thread the supplied washer head screws into each hole
and use a screwdriver to tighten them.
8. Installing additional remote thermo-hygrometer
sensor(s)
Additional remote thermo-hygrometer sensors can be
purchased separately (not supplied in the package).
1. Select a location for the remote thermo-hygrometer
that is within the effective transmission range of 100
meters (328 feet). Shorten the distance if obstacle is
between the monitor & remote sensor.
2. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screws on the
battery door of the remote sensor. Insert 2 pieces of
AAA batteries according to the polarity indicated.
3. Assign channel 2 or 3 to the remote sensor by setting
the slide switch inside the battery compartment.
(Channel 1 is used by the anemometer and should not
be assigned to the new remote thermo-hygrometer)
4. Press “Tx” button inside the battery compartment of
the remote sensor to transmit temperature & humidity
data to the monitor. Then close the battery door and
tighten the screws.
5. Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor
to search for all remote sensors. The temperature
& humidity readings of your selected channel number
will be displayed on the monitor if RF transmission is
successful.

Connecting with remote sensors
The weather station uses 433MHz radio signals to send
and receive weather data between the monitors and
remote sensors.
After battery/adapter installation, the monitor will
automatically search for remote sensors.
You can also enforce a searching mode by holding
“CHANNEL/SEARCH” on the monitor.
Follow the instruction in the “INSTALLATION” section
to set up the sensors and wireless connection. If the
connection cannot be established, reset the remote
sensor by removing the batteries from the sensor. Wait
for 10 seconds and reinstall the batteries. Then hold
“CHANNEL/SEARCH” on the monitor to search for the
sensors. If that continues to fail, shorten the distance
between the sensor & monitor and reinstall the sensors if
necessary (Details refer “INSTALLATION” section)
Anemometer (with built-in temperature & humidity
sensor):
Important:
Wind direction calibration is needed whenever
the anemometer is reset (or during battery replacement)
Searching mode display:
Wind direction, temperature & humidity information will
fl ash
RF Connection completed:
Valid wind speed/direction & Ch-1 temperature/humidity
readings appear
(It may take up to 10 minutes to receive all wind speed/
direction & Ch-1 temperature/humidity readings during
the searching mode)
RF Connection failed:
“- - - -“ wind speed appears; no wind direction. Unable to
display Ch-1 temperature & humidity
Rain Gauge:
Searching mode display:
Total rainfall information will fl ash
RF connection completed:
Valid total rainfall reading appears
RF connection failed:
“- - - -“ stops fl ashing & stays on the total rainfall display
(previous daily/weekly/monthly rainfall readings remain
in record)
