2. Insert two AA batteries and close the battery door. Note: The batteries (not included) are mainly for backup purpose. 3. Connect the USB cable between the sensor and an AC adapter(not included). Note: After inserting the batteries or connecting AC power, the sensor LED indicator will light for 3 seconds –...
Sensor Installation Before install the sensor into its permanent location, you may go to Section 6 to configure with the gateway first. Once the sensor has been confirmed working correctly, then you can go back here. Place the sensor on a horizontally surface. Note that the vents must be clear of any obstructions, and we recommend placement away from other electronic devices to prevent interference.

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other devices using the same RF frequency and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication. Line of Sight Rating.
6.1 Pair with DP1500 If DP1500 has been in operation, and you have never had any DP250 sensor setup before, just power up the sensor and DP1500 will pick sensor data automatically. If a DP250 sensor has been hooked on DP1500 before,...
6.2 Wi-Fi Connection for the DP1500 For this part, please refer to the manual of the DP1500 Wi-Fi gateway. Any question, please contact the customer service. View Online Data on WS View When the Wi-Fi configuration is done, you can view the live data of your sensor on the WS View application.

Note: The DP250 sensor data can be only viewed on the Live Data interface since it doesn’t support uploads to weather underground. If you choose to upload the data to the Ecowitt.net weather server: https://www.ecowitt.net, you can view the live data/history graph and download the records on the website.

Sensor Calibration CO2:There is an easy way to find the CO2 sensor is drifted or not: put the sensor in outdoor open air locations, away from any combustion exhausts, wait for 30 minutes, you should see the CO2 reading is 420ppm +/-10. If it is far from this reading, you can wait for some more time, and test it during night to confirm.
Page 18
PM2.5: It is not possible to calibrate on the sensor side, and you can calibrate through WS View App when paired with DP1500 or on the console when paired with HP1000SE PRO / HP1000SE PRO Ultrasonic, which saves the offset value on the gateway side before sending data to www.ecowitt.net server.
