Here  is  a  link  to  the  CWOP  guide  which  outlines  the  general  advice  for  the 
location of the personal meteorological stations:

. 

The  CWOP  location  guide  is  a  great  reference,  but  for  the  vast  majority  of  the 
user-friendly users simply you can not satisfy every guide line (especially being 
100  feet  from  any  concrete  and  no  closer  to  4  times  the  height  of  trees  or 
buildings). It's okay! Your Tempest system is not a reference location for climate 
research.  We  invite  you  to  consider  your  unbealing  challenges  /  opportunities 
and  observation  needs  when  you  decide  where  to  fit  your  Tempest.  Do  not 
discuss you if your options are not ideal for each parameter. A common question 
among  the  observer  meteorologists  is  that  "you  know  a  observation,  is  more 
useful",  so  we  encourage  all  users  to  maintain  their  accurate  and  up-to-date 
metadata. This will improve your capacity of the Tempest system to provide you 
with the best weather data for your location.

Tempest device LED status indicators 

The  Tempest  device  LED  will  not  remain  illuminated,  even  when  powered.    To 
activate the LED status indicator, press the translucent button on the base of the 
unit once next to the power switch.

RED LED: 

sensor fault;   the state replaces all other states.   If you see a failed 

sensor  status  in  the  app  or  a  red  LED  on  the  device  itself,  check  the  Tempest 
device  troubleshooting  steps  above.    Contact  us

for assistance if you can't solve the problem.

Try turning the unit off and on again;   For AIR, open and close the battery 
door.  For SKY, disconnect and reconnect the solar power accessory.  

Check the status again: Press the clear button on the base of the unit for an 
indicator light.  Do you use the SKY solar accessory?  Use a thin tool to go
