Frequently Asked Questions - WP1510 Proove

How do I install batteries in the rain gauge sensor?

Remove the rain gauge cover, then remove the battery cover. Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries observing correct polarity, and replace the cover.

How do I synchronize the base station with the remote sensor after battery replacement?

After replacing batteries in the remote sensor, the base station must be powered off and on again (remove and reinsert batteries) to re-learn the transmitter's security code. This should be done within a few minutes.

Why is my clock not updating automatically?

The base station attempts to receive the DCF-77 radio time signal at 2:00, 8:00, 14:00, and 20:00 daily. If reception fails, the icon will not appear. Try moving the base station near a window, away from metal surfaces and monitors. You can also set the time manually.

How do I manually set the time and date?

Press and hold the SET key for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. You can then set time zone, 12/24 hour format, hours, minutes, year, month, day. Press SET to confirm each step and advance. The unit will exit after 30 seconds of inactivity.

How do I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

In normal mode, press and hold the SET key to enter setting mode. Continue pressing SET until you reach the temperature unit setting. Use the RAIN or MIN/MAX key to toggle between °C and °F. Press SET to confirm.

How do I reset the rainfall data?

In normal mode, press the RAIN key to cycle through different rainfall periods (1h, 24h, week, total). When the desired period is displayed, press and hold the RAIN key for about 2 seconds to reset that period's data to zero.

How do I change the rainfall unit from mm to inch?

Press and hold the SET key for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. Continue pressing SET until you reach the rainfall unit setting. Use the RAIN or MIN/MAX key to select mm or inch. Press SET to confirm and exit.

Why does the remote sensor signal drop intermittently?

Possible interference from other devices operating on the same frequency (433.9 MHz) or obstacles like walls, trees, and metal structures. Try relocating the sensor or base station to reduce path obstructions. Also ensure batteries are fresh.

What is the maximum range of the rain sensor?

In open field with no obstructions, the maximum transmission distance is 100 meters (about 328 feet). Real-world range may be shorter due to obstacles.

How should I mount the rain gauge sensor?

The rain gauge should be mounted 1 meter or higher above the ground on a level surface. Use the provided mounting screws to secure it tightly. Ensure it is level for accurate rainfall measurement.

Indoor receiver battery installs

1) Insert batteries into the indoor receiver. When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light up for about 4 seconds before it enters into learning mode to learn the sensors security code. Every time the remote sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this code must be synchronized with the base station to receive weather data. Thus if battery change happened on remote sensor side, then the base station must be power up again to re-learn the transmitter.
2) Do not press any keys for 10 minutes
3) The receiver will start to search time signal. If there is no time signal found within 70 seconds, the unit will turn off the receiver. If there is time signal received, then the clock will have the radio controlled time icon flashing indicating that the clock is in the time reception progress. Normally within 10 minutes the clock should have the correct time displayed.
4) If no time reception is possible, then manually set the time. The clock will try to make radio controlled time reception every hour. When radio controlled time is received, the radio controlled time icon will be turned on.
5) If your time zone is not at UTC+1:00, then manually set the time zone so that your clock time will be updated correctly after radio controlled time is received.
6) If the clock can't have radio controlled time received after 24 hours, then try to put the clock in a place near window. The clock should not be placed on metal table or near monitor.

Note for Radio Controlled Time:

The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the highly accurate government operated atomic clock. The base station will continue to scan for the radio controlled time signal each day at 2:00, 8:00, 14:00 and 20:00 despite it being manually set. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the radio controlled time icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted continually. If reception has been successful, the received time and date will overwrite the manually set time and date.

Note:

Please participate in the preservation of the environment by properly disposing of all used-up batteries and accumulators at designated disposal points. Never dispose of batteries in a fire as this may cause explosion, risk of fire or leakage of dangerous chemicals and fumes

MOUNTING

Base Station

With one foldable legs at the back of the unit, the base station can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by the hanging holes at the back of the unit. It is important to check that the radio signal can be received before permanently mounting any of the units

Remote Sensor

Place the rain gauge in an appropriate location. The rain gauge has a range of 100 meters. Keep in mind that 100 meters RF reception distance is for condition in open air with no obstructions, and rain gauge transmitter sitting one meter above ground. Real-world transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range.

The rain gauge must be level to transmit correct readings. It is recommended to mount the rain gauge 1 meter or higher off of the ground. Screw the rain gauge down snugly in the holes provided.
