Important Notes
System Start
Insert two LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter. The LED located on one side of the battery
compartment, towards the wind sensors at the front of the sensor array illuminate for 4 seconds, then go
off and begin to flash intermittently (approximately every 48 seconds). If the LED does not light up or stays
on permanently make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
Insert two LR6 (AA size) batteries into the Base Station/Console. The console will illuminate for a few
seconds with all the display segments illuminated for checking. After this the Base Station will make an
initial measurement and start to register the transmitter (the Outdoor Reception Signal icon will be turned
on). Do not touch the Base Station before the outdoor data is received or the outdoor sensor learning mode
will be terminated. When the outdoor transmitter has been registered the Base Station will automatically
switch to the normal display mode from which all further settings can be adjusted by the user.
Positioning
Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working they can be
positioned in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting make sure that all the components
work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If there appear to be problems with
the 433 MHz radio transmission they can mostly be overcome by moving the mounting locations.
Note: The radio communication between the receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a
distance of up to 100m providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles,
high voltage lines, etc. Sources of radio interference such as PC screens, radios or TV sets, can in extreme
cases entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or
mounting locations.
Reconnecting Lost Signal
If no outdoor weather data is displayed as a result of loss of signal during set up, mounting, changing of
batteries in the transmitter or plugging or unplugging cables, simply press and hold the DOWN key for 4
seconds then release. After this the Base Station will make an initial measurement and start to register
the transmitter (the Outdoor Reception Signal icon will be turned on). Do not touch the Base Station before
the outdoor data is received (this may take several minutes) or the outdoor sensor learning mode will be
terminated. When the outdoor transmitter has been registered the Base Station will automatically switch
to the normal display mode from which all further settings can be adjusted by the user.
Note: When replacing batteries in the transmitter wait two minutes before re-inserting for a full reset.
Wind Direction
On the edge of the wind direction sensor, there are four letters - “N”, ”E”, ”S” and “W” representing the
directions North, East, South and West. The wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions
on the sensor are matching your real location. A permanent wind direction error will be introduced when
the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
Batteries
Good quality non-rechargeable Alkaline or Lithium batteries are recommended.
Note: Incorrectly inserting the batteries may cause a fault and invalidate the warranty so take care to
insert them with the correct polarity.
Note: Many rechargeable batteries are 1.2V and as such are not suitable for this unit which requires
1.5V batteries. Rechargeable batteries also often leak their peak charge quickly which can cause reduced
transmission range. As such we recommend avoiding the use of rechargeable batteries.
Note: The performance of Alkaline batteries can be significantly reduced in colder environments
resulting in loss of signal. In this case we recommend the use of Lithium batteries in the thermo-hygro
sensor.
