1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Solar Powered Wireless WiFi Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting. 2. Warnings and Cautions Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station mounting pole. -
Page 4: Site Survey
4.2 Site Survey Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following: 1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the rechargeable batteries every 2-3 years. Provide easy access to the weather station. 2. -

Reset button 11. LED Indicator: light on for 4s if the unit power up. Then the LED will flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission update period). -
Page 6: Install Wind Speed
There are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” around the wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation. - Page 7 Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.

Page 8: Reset Button And Transmitter Led
Figure 10 Figure 11 Note: Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure sensor array is completely level.If the sensor is not level,the rain gauge,UV and solar radiation sensors will not measure properly. 5.2.5 Reset Button and Transmitter LED In the event the sensor array is not transmitting, reset the sensor array. -
Page 9: Best Practices For Wireless Communication
Figure 10 5.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s) upright on a vertical surface, such as a wall. Do not lay the sensor flat. Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. -

Absolute pressure is the measured atmospheric pressure, and is a function of altitude, and to a lesser extent, changes in weather conditions. Absolute pressure is not corrected to sea-level conditions. -
Page 17: Light
Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb). The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 inHg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. -
