batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the outdoor sensor. Note: We recommend 1.5V lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are enough for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, they do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception. -

To achieve proper alignment, it is helpful to use a compass (many cell phones have a compass application). Once rotated in the correct orientation, lightly tighten the bolts a little more (use a wrench) to prevent further rotation. - Page 12 Item Number Description Image Number Channels WH41 4* PM2.5 Wireless Outdoor Particulate Monitor WH43 4* PM2.5 Wireless Indoor Particulate Monitor WH45 1 PM2.5, PM10 and CO Wireless Indoor Particulate Monitor WN51 8 Soil Moisture Sensor WH51 8 Soil Moisture Sensor WH57 1 Lightning Detector...

experience intermittent communication between sensor and console, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid the interference and establish reliable communication. The frequencies used by the sensors are one of (depending on your location): 433, 868, or 915 MHz (915 MHz for United States). - Page 17 Reference Figure 14. (1) Unfold the desk stand and place the console 5 to 10 feet away from the outdoor sensor. (2) Remove the battery door on the back of the console and insert 2 x AA good quality Alkaline or Lithium batteries per Figure 14. (3) Wait several minutes for the remote sensors to synchronize with the display console.

Figure 18 6.4.3 Relative Pressure Calibration Discussion The calibration was set on ecowitt app. To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. -

Page 33: Weather Forecasting
6.14 Weather Forecasting The five weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy and Snowy. The forecast icon is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. Please allow at least one month for the weather station to learn the barometric pressure over time. -
Page 34: Specification
The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts. -

Page 49: Maintenance
11 Maintenance The following steps should be taken for proper maintenance of your station 1. Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months. Rotate the funnel counter-clockwise and lift to expose the rain gauge mechanism, and clean with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt, debris and insects. If bug infestation is an issue, spray the array lightly with insecticide. - Page 50 When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventing compound on the battery terminals, available at Amazon and most hardware stores. In snowy environments, spray the top of the weather station with anti-icing silicon spray to prevent snow build up. 12. Troubleshooting Guide Problem Solution Outdoor sensor array...
- Page 51 Problem Solution Temperature sensor Make certain that the sensor array is not too close to heat reads too high in the generating sources or strictures, such as buildings, day time. pavement, walls or air conditioning units. Use the calibration feature to offset installation issues related to radiant heat sources.
- Page 52 Problem Solution 8. Check your router firewall settings. The console sends data via Port 80. No Wi-Fi connection 1. Check for Wi-Fi symbol on the display. If wireless connectivity is successful the Wi-Fi icon will be displayed in the time field. 3.
