Please read this instruction manual thoroughly to fully understand the correct operation of your weather station and benefit from its unique features.
  • Page 3: Features Of The Wind Sensor

    Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature and relative humidity. It also collects the readings from the rain and wind sensors before transmitting the data to the base station by wireless 433MHz or by the 32ft cable included in this set. Features of Wind sensor The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and sends the data to thermo-hygro sensor, which in turn transmits the data to...
  • Page 4: Setting Up

    Setting up First, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batteries for operation. Both these methods allow for operation using wireless 433MHz transmission or cable connection between the base station and the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows: Base Station: Battery compartment Setting up using batteries:...
