    Note: The outdoor sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the console will stop scanning and connecting with the sensors. The following illustration shows the full segment of integrated outdoor sensor , Wind and Rain, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 3.3.
  • Page 7 Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the outdoor sensors. The solar panel does not charge the batteries, so rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Figure 3 Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as show in Figure 4.

Make sure that the gasket (around the battery compartment) is properly seated in its trace prior to closing the door and Tighten the set screw. Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries for outdoor sensors in cold weather environments The Integrated outdoor sensor LED indicator(White button) will light for 3 seconds, and then flash once per 16 seconds thereafter.

  • Page 13: Sensor Pre-Installation

    The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to install the sensor array. 1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the Integrated outdoor sensor back and forth several times. You will heard a “ticking” sound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00.

    2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5ft (1.5m) from any building, structure, ground, or roof top. 3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction.

    4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of sight. The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall”or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.
  • Page 16 Southern Hemispheres 5.1.1 Northern Hemispheres (NOR) References. The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) molded on the body of the outdoor sensor are indicators for the Northern Hemisphere only. Step 1: There is a “S” indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 14.

(Check the detailed step of setting the time area in the part 15 of Chapter 7.2) 5.1.2 Southern Hemispheres (SOU) References. For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore the direction (N, S, E, W), and face the solar panel to the North (and in a sunny position) when it comes to install the Integrated outdoor sensor, as show in figure 10.

    A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for integrated outdoor sensor. When the low battery icon appears (The Integrated outdoor sensor battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.

The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary significantly from location to location.

    Press the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key to increase or decrease the humidity reading (in increments of 1%). Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ key or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Press the SET key switch to outdoor humidity.

Example: The calibrated pressure sources measure 28.37 inHg. The display console pressure reads 28.75 inHg. Offset = 28.37 - 28.75 = - 0.38 inHg ...
  • Page 33 pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. 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 in Hg (1013.2hpa).
  • Page 34 Note: The wind gust is also affected by the wind speed calibration factor. Discussion: Wind speed and wind gust are adversely affected by installation constraints. The rule of thumb is to install the weather station four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction (for example, a 6m(20ft) house would require an installation 24m(80ft) away).

    Discussion: The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips every 0.01” of rain (referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can be compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of at least 4”. Note: that debris and insects can collect inside the tipping mechanism (they make a good spiders nest).
