3. Warnings and Cautions

! Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.

Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death. Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home. Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.

4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey

4.1 Pre Installation Checkout

Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.

4.2 Site Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the rechargeable batteries every 1-2 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.

2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5' 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. For example, if the building is 20' tall, and the mounting pole is 6' tall, install 4 x (20 - 6)' = 56' away.

4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 300 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the maximum wireless range is 100'.

5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting locations. Make sure your display console is at least five feet away from any electronic device to avoid interference.

6.4.2 Initial Display Console Set Up

1. Place the sensor array 5 to 10 feet from the display console. It is best to perform this operation prior to installing the sensor array.

2. Make sure the sensor array is already powered up and the transmitter light is flashing once every 48 seconds.

3. Insert 3 x AA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the display. After inserting the batteries into the console, all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.

4. The console will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, barometer, tendency, date and time. The wind speed, rain, and outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS until the outside transmitter report in, otherwise the outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated. The sensor search icon will be present:

1. When the outdoor transmitter data has been received, the console will attempt to receive the Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) signal.

If the outdoor sensors do not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 12.

Low Profile Desk Stand Battery Compartment Wall Hanging Hole Battery Cover Desk Stand

Figure 8

6.4.3 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)

After the sensor array is received by the console, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30 seconds, and then the sensor will begin radio controlled clock (RCC) reception. During the RCC time reception

period (maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted to avoid interference. The sensor search icon will remain on.

If the signal reception is not successful within 1 minute, the signal search will be cancelled and will automatically resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. The regular sensor array link will resume once RCC reception routine is finished. In some locations, RCC reception may take a couple of days to receive the signal.

The RCC reception routine can be cancelled at any time by pressing any button. The sensor search icon will turn off, and the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, from which all further settings can be performed.

Once the RCC has been received and the clock has been set, the RCC icon 📂 will appear in the date and time field.

Note: The RCC is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. Urban environments can also affect the signal.

6.4.4 Sensor Operation Verification

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array outside.

1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times. You should hear a "clicking" sound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each "click" represents 0.01 inches of rainfall.
2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0.
3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10' apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (2°C) (the accuracy is ± 2°F / 1°C). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10' apart). The sensors should be within 8% (the accuracy is ± 4%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

7 Weather Station Installation

7.1 Pre Installation Checkout

Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.

7.2 Site Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every 1-2 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.

2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5' 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. For example, if the building is 20' tall, install 4 x 20' = 80' away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.

4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings.

5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting locations.

6. Visit Ambient Weather Mounting Solutions for assistance and ideas for mounting your weather station:

http://www.ambientweather.com/amwemoso.html

7.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.

1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs.

2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices 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.

3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.

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.

Medium	RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated)	5-15%
Plastics	10-15%
Wood	10-40%
Brick	10-40%
Concrete	40-80%
Metal	90-100%

7.4 Final Installation of Sensor Array

Mount the weather station in the permanent location. Confirm the weather station data is still updating on the display console.

8.1.2.4 Set Barometric Pressure

Note: The weather station console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level).

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 if you were 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 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 in Hg are considered low pressure.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

8.6 Other Console Features

The following section describes additional console features.

8.6.1 Weather Forecasting

Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).

The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

8.6.2 Weather Icons

Sunny

Partly Cloudy

Cloudy

Rainy

The four weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy. There are also two weather tendency indicators to show the air pressure tendency between the weather icons.

8.6.3 Weather tendency indicator

The weather tendency arrow is located between the weather icons to show the air pressure tendency and provide a forecast based on increasing or decreasing air pressure.

The arrow pointing to the right indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve. The arrow pointing the left indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to deteriorate.

The weather tendency is based on the pressure change since last six hours. If the weather is changing, the weather tendency indicator (animated arrows) will flash for three hours, indicating the weather is expected to change. If the weather conditions become stable and no new weather change conditions

are met, then the arrows will be fixed.

Example 1: Pressure is decreasing, weather is deteriorating.

graph LR
    A["Cloud with raindrops"] <--> B["Cloud with raindrops"]

Example 2: Pressure is increasing, weather is improving.

graph LR
    A["Cloud Icon"] --> B["Sun icon"]

8.6.4 Storm threshold indicator

The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressure change signifying a storm is expected) can be adjusted by the user from level 3 to level 9 (the default level 4).

When negative rate of change of pressure is exceeded for 3 hours, the storm warning indicator will be activated, and the clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.

Simple weather icon showing cloud with raindrops and two arrows pointing left (no text or symbols)

8.6.5 Pressure threshold setting

The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted by the user from level 2 to level 4 (default level 2).

The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant.

8.6.6 Pressure Graph

Note: The weather station bar graph flashes from right to left. The most recent data is on the right.

The pressure graph displays the barometric pressure for the last 24 hours. Each bar represents three

hours.

9 Maintenance

We recommend the following maintenance actions approximately once per year.

9.1 Cleaning the Rain Gauge

The rain gauge can fill up with debris. To clean the rain gauge, remove any debris from the top of the funnel.

Press the two compression tabs on the sides of the rain gauge to expose the tipping mechanism. Remove any debris, insects and spider webs. If spider webs are present, spray with insecticide.

Compression Tabs

Figure 10

9.2 Thermo-Hygrometer Connectors

The wind and rain connectors and thermo-hygrometer sockets can degrade in a harsh environment.

To prevent corrosion, we recommend spraying the connectors with contact cleaner, available in auto parts stores.

Applying a thin coat of dielectric grease is also recommended for harsh environments, and is available in auto parts stores.

If corrosion has built up on the connectors and sockets, a small eraser from a pencil can remove it.

10 Glossary of Terms

Term	Definition
Absolute Barometric Pressure	Relative barometric pressure, corrected to sea-level. 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.
Accuracy	Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured.
Hecto Pascals (hPa)	Pressure units in SI (international system) units of measurement. Same as millibars (1 hPa = 1 mbar)
Hygrometer	A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount or percentage of water vapor that exists in air.
Inches of Mercury (inHg)	Pressure in Imperial units of measure. 1 inch of mercury = 33.86 millibars
Range	Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured.
Relative Barometric Pressure	Measured barometric pressure relative to your location or ambient conditions.
Resolution	Resolution is defined as the number of significant digits (decimal places) to which a value is being reliably measured.

Problem	Solution
Wireless remote (thermo-hygrometer) not reporting in to console.There are dashes on the display console.	The maximum line of sight communication range is 300'. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display console.If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10'), move the sensor assembly away from the display console.Power down and power up the console by removing and re-inserting the batteries.Verify the remote sensor is flashing once per 45 seconds. The LED indicator is just above the battery compartment.Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).Move the display console around electrical noise generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers.Move the remote sensor to a higher location.Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple, thick walls.
Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not agree	Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is ±2 °F)
Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree	Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ±5 %)
Absolute pressure does not agree with official reporting station	You may be viewing the relative pressure, not the absolute pressure.Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.The barometer is only accurate to ±0.08 inHg within the following relative pressure range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg, which corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet. At higher altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error.
Rain gauge reports rain when it is not raining	An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting pole) may result in the tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a stable mounting solution. Move the rain gauge from the pole mount to a flat, stable mount (fixed, flat structure).
Barometer graph flashes. Can I turn this off?	No, this feature cannot be turned off.
Wind speed appears low	Average wind speed may have the appearance of low wind. Try switching the display to wind gust.
Can the lamp be turned on all of time?	No, to prevent the bulb from burning out, it can only turnon temporarily.
The forecast icon is not accurate	The weather station console must run for several days to trend barometric pressure.The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
