• Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and in bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on. • Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor outside. •... -
Page 5: Help Me Understand The Wind History Readings
• Wind Speed Trend Indicators: o The Wind Speed Trend Indicator shows trends in wind speed over the past 60 minutes. o The Trend Arrows will update every 15 minutes based on the “Now” Wind Speed readings from the past 60 minutes. HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE WIND HISTORY READINGS. -
Page 6: How Do I View The Rainfall Readings
HOW DO I VIEW THE RAINFALL READINGS 1. Press and release the RAIN button to view different rain readings. 2. When viewing MONTH, use PLUS button to toggle through the current month and past 11 months rainfall. Note: All other readings will disappear for 5 seconds. Rainfall readings will stay on user selection. -
Page 7: How Do I Set The Pressure
HOW DO I SET THE PRESSURE? Pressure: • Relative Pressure reading will come from the sensor inside the station. • Pressure can rotate with Rain readings. Set Pressure: 1. Hold the MODE/PRESSURE button for 2 seconds. PRESSURE will show, INHG will flash. Press the + or - button to select HPA. -
Page 8: How Do I Reset The Temperature/Humidity Readings
HOW DO I RESET THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS? Your temperature and humidity readings are reset individually. 1. Press and release the TEMP button to view the reading you wish to reset. 2. Hold the MINUS (-) button for 5 seconds to reset individual temperature or humidity value to current temperature, humidity, time and date. -

Page 12: What Are The Day & Night Forecast
Note: The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is rainy or stormy. • Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration. Note: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. -
Page 13: Temp Accuracy: Why Does My Thermo-Hygro Sensor Read Inaccurately
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ INACCURATELY? • The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. Since your Temperature/Humidity readings come from the Wind/TH sensor they may occasionally be inaccurate if the sunlight hits the sensor. • If this is a common occurrence you can purchase a TX141TH-Bv3 sensor and replace the Temperature/Humidity Reading from the Wind/TH sensor. -
Page 14: Why Are My Wind Cups Not Spinning
• If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient – these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out. • RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. -
Page 15: Wind Reading 0.00: Why Do I Only See 0.00 For Wind Speed
WIND READING 0.00: WHY DO I ONLY SEE 0.00 FOR WIND SPEED? The 0.00 means your wind sensor is connected to your station. • Check that the cups spin freely. Something may be preventing movement. • Are your wind cups unbroken? After a storm it is good to check this. WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS? Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the wind sensor. -
Page 16: Wind Accuracy: Why Is My Wind Speed Inaccurate
• After 15 minutes move the wind sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the station for 1 hour. • If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the wind sensor just outside. •... -
Page 17: Rain Low: Why Is My Rainfall Reading Low
RAIN LOW: WHY IS MY RAINFALL READING LOW? • Low rain readings indicate the rain sensor and station are connected. • Check that the rocker tips freely. • Check the funnel and the inside of the rain sensor for insect nests or debris that may cause loss of rocker motion.
