13. Remote Weather Sensors
The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer, anemometer (wind gauge) and rain
sensor. All data collected by the sensors are transmitted to the Weather Station Key by wireless
RF, with a range up to 100 meters (open area). The Weather Station Key supports a maximum
of 2 thermo-hygrometers, allowing 2 channels of temperature/humidity display (Ch1 and Ch2).
Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors
Before starting up the Weather Station Key, 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 to Ch1 or Ch2 (Channel has to be selected before inserting
batteries)
3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries.
4. Use a pin to press the “RESET” key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro
sensors after LED flash.
5. Replace the latch and mount the unit at desired location.
*Placement Tips:
- The thermo-hygro 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.
- 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.
