    Detailed installation instructions Download the app and create an account 1. Download the ‘Tempest Weather’ mobile app. Follow these links to get the Tempest Weather app in the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

  • Page 5: Positioning And Installation Of The Air & Sky Device

    The sensor devices are capable of maintaining a connection to the hub up to 1000 feet (300m) away without obstacles. The Tempest device can maintain a connection to the hub up to 300m away with direct line of sight.
  • Page 6 Geographical north / south is the true center point of a hemisphere and is the basis for referring to wind direction. A compass can help you align your Tempest, but you need to adjust the compass reading with your magnetic declination.
  • Page 7: Simple Installation Kit Instructions

    Tempest. The Simple Installation Kit, available in our online store, can be attached to any vertical structure like a fence post, a shed, the side of your house, etc. The Tempest should extend above the structure as far as possible. https://weatherflow.com/...
  • Page 8 Basic Instructions Follow the diagram to assemble your Simple Installation kit. The PVC parts can be press-fit together. For a more secure installation, PVC glue may be used, but it is not required. The kit includes six stainless steel screws suitable for attachment to sturdy wood, plastic or metal.
  • Page 9: Solar Power & Rechargeable Battery

    50,000 cycles - which is decades of recharging. Operation Your Tempest is shipped with a full battery and should give you about 2 weeks of operation without any additional power input, but you should put it in the sun as soon as possible.
  • Page 10 If you're watching the voltage level (because you are a true weather geek!), it may appear the Tempest is not charging even when the sun is out. That's because there is a "start-charge" threshold that must be reached before charging begins.
  • Page 11 More information about the installations and height from the recommended land ... • About 4 feet above the surface are sufficient for good reading and humidity reading. • If you measure the speed and direction of the wind is important for you, we recommend that you get a cleaner wind.
  • Page 12: Tempest Device Led Status Indicators

    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 https://help.weatherflow.com/ hc/en-us/requests/new for assistance if you can't solve the problem.
  • Page 13 GREEN LED: the device is associated with a Hub. The Tempest device should be connected and reporting data to the station hub. If you have a green status and don't see any minute-by-minute observations, you may need to reset and re-pair your device: Reset the drive: Press and hold the clear LED button next to the battery door for five seconds, then release it when the LED flashes green.
  • Page 14 While powered, the Hub will continue to receive weather observations from Tempest devices and can store up to 7 days worth of data from a single Tempest device. Once an internet connection is restored, the Hub will be able to backfill stored weather data.
  • Page 15 • The power bank has four Charge Indicator Lights to indicate charge level. Pressing the power button with nothing plugged in lights up the LEDs to indicate the current charge level of the battery.   Technical Specifications • Capacity: 20000mAh 74 WH •...
