Setup Instructions Step-by-Step

IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries

(not included)

. The "+" markings on the batteries must line

up with the diagrams inside the battery compartments. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the

weather station. During the setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor sensors on a surface with 5-10 feet between each

sensor and the display.

Batteries: We recommend using Alkaline batteries for the remote sensors and the weather station when temperatures are above 32°F

(0°C). We recommend using Lithium batteries for the remote sensors when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).

Note: Setup all three sensors and allow them to run for at least two minutes before powering the weather station. Ensure all sensor

readings are received to the weather station before mounting sensors outside.

STEP 1: Complete initial setup on a table with all components within 10 feet of each other.

STEP 2: Wind

Wind Cups

With a flashlight, look into the mounting hole of the wind cups.

Check that the set screw is backed off appropriately, not obstructing the opening.

Place the wind cups over the axle shaft of the wind sensor and gently slide them into place.

Use the hex key wrench tool provided to tighten the small set screw inside the cups.

Test to assure the wind cups are securely mounted on the anemometer shaft and spin freely

Battery installation

Remove four (4) screws from the battery compartment.

Open the battery compartment and install 2 AA Alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown.

Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

STEP 3: Thermohygro

Install 2 AAA Alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment.

Replace the battery compartment door.

STEP 4: Rain

Unlock the funnel-shaped top on the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides in a counter-clockwise direction.

Lift the funnel-shaped top off the rain sensor bucket.

Remove seven (7) small screws from the battery compartment cover.

Insert 2 AA Alkaline batteries (not included), matching the polarities as shown in the battery compartment.
