NOTE

•  

Complete the pairing within 30 minutes after you power up or reset the sensor. 

Otherwise, the base station will stop searching the sensor.

•   To replace a specific sensor, remove it before replacing.
•  

If the new sensor is successfully paired, the new channel number and weather 

contents will display. Otherwise, the base station will still display the data from the 

old sensor.

•  

If  the  base  station  cannot  receive  the  weather  data  from  the  sensor,  or  “-  -“ 

displays as the data value. Press and hold 

PAIR

 to search the sensor again.

 

 “- -“ means lost link.

 

“NA” means data not available or data cannot be calculated.

POWER THE BASE STATION

Insert the 3 AA batteries (included) to the battery compartment of the base station for 

back-up usage, matching the polarity symbols (

+

 and 

-

) marked inside.

Connect the supplied power adapter to the Micro USB power jack, then plug into a 

standard AC outlet. 

POWER THE ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR 

Insert  the 4 AA batteries (included) to the 

MAIN UNIT

 battery compartment, matching 

the polarity symbols (

+

 and 

-

) marked inside.

(

Optional

)  Install  4  AA  batteries  (not  included)  to  the 

DUST  SENSOR

  battery 

compartment for back-up usage, matching the polarity symbols (

+

 and 

-

) marked inside. 

NOTE

  

•  

If  you  will  be  connecting  more  than  one  all-in-on  sensor,  slide  the  channel 

switch 

CHANNEL 1, 2, 3

 to select another channel before replace the battery 

compartment cover.

•  

For  longer  performance,  recommend  to  use  alkaline  batteries  and  consumer 

grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing. 

•  

Replace the batteries when   displays on the base station. Press 

RESET

  after 

each battery replacement.  

•   The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount 

position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into 

a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet. The socket-outlet shall be installed 

near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

MOUNTING THE ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR

The sensor is capable of transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an 

approximate  operating  range  of  300  m  (1000  feet).  Ideal  locations  for  the  sensor 

would be in any location on the roof of a building that is in an open area away from 

trees or other obstructions preventing from the wind flow for an accurate reading. 

Additionally, locate the sensor in direct sunlight for optimal power supply to the solar 

panel. 
     

Solar panel facing:

If you reside in the:

North

Southern Hemisphere

South

Northern Hemisphere

Secure the all-in-one sensor connector in the desired location:

1.  Align the back of the sensor connector to an existing pole.
2.  Secure in place by inserting the ends of the U-bolt into the holes on the sensor 

connector and securing it with washers and bolts.

3.  Securely locate the pole in your desired outdoor area.

 

NOTE

•  

Make sure the water bubble in the level indicator on the top surface stays within 

the circle. Check the balance status regularly for an accurate rainfall rate reading.

•  

Ensure the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it be record accurate readings. 

Press 

SET NORTH

 

at the bottom of the sensor to calibrate the direction. 

You can use a compass to look for an accurate direction of north if necessary.

•  

Press
