INTITIAL SETUP
BATTERY & ADAPTER INSTALLATION

Photo Frame
Main Power Source: Plug in the 5.0V adapter into the adapter socket on the right for basic operation

IR Remote Control
Battery (CR2025) is included in the IR remote control. For initial setup, pull out the battery insulation sheet from the bottom of
the IR remote control.
To replace the battery, follow the instruction on the back of the IR remote control to pull out the battery door. Follow the battery
polarity and replace a new CR2025 battery. Close the battery door.

Installation

The weather station operates at 915MHz and does not require wire installation among the component parts. To ensure
successful installation and the best performance, we recommend you follow the installation instructions in the order they
appear in this manual.

1. Selecting a location for the anemometer

Select a mounting location for the anemometer that is:

- Outdoors, not blocked on top or sides, so wind can freely reach the anemomete r

- Within 75 meter open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the anemometer & the monitor

The best location for the anemometer is usually mounted on a mast in an open area where wind is not blocked on top or sides,
or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.

2. Mounting the anemometer
Important: Before mounting, be sure the monitor & anemometer are within the effective transmission range.
Note: To mount the anemometer, you need a mast (not supplied) about 1 – 1.25 inches (2.54 – 3.1 cm) in diameter, and the

hardware necessary to fasten it to the mounting location. If you previously installed such a mast (for mounting anten na, for
example), you can mount the anemometer on that mast.

1. If necessary, mount and ground a mast as directed in the instructions provided by the mast.

2. Place the supplied U-shape metal plates around the mast. Insert 4 pieces of the supplied Hex screws through the hole s
of the U-shape plates and the holes on the anemometer’s mounting bracket.
(The wind vane is above the wind cup and the metal bar of the anemometer is i n horizontal level)

3. Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw

4. Calibrating the anemometer & installing batteries

After mounting the anemometer, follow these steps to calibrate the wind direction so that the anemometer properly measures
the wind direction and transmit to the monitor. Be sure battery has been removed from the anemometer before the calibration.

Important: The same calibration is needed for the first set up and every battery replacement.

1. After mounting the anemometer, loosen the screws on the battery door with a small screwdriver and open the battery door.

2. Use the compass on the anemometer and turn the wi nd vane so it is pointing due north.

3. Hold the wind vane pointing due north and do not allow it to turn. Insert 2 pieces of AA batteries according to the polarity

indicated. The red LED indicator above the battery cover of the anemometer will flash few times right after battery
installation. Be sure the vane is pointing due north at the moment when red LED flashes a nd the calibration is now
completed. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screws.

4. If the wind vane is not pointing due north when the red LED first flashes, remove batteries and repeat step 2 & 3.

5. Go to “SET UP” mode, select “SEARCH NOW” in the “WIRELESS SENSOR RECEPTION” section and exit. Wind direction,

wind speed, wind chill & channel-1 temperature/humidity readings will appear within 2 minutes if the RF transmission is
successful.

6. If the wind reading does not appear after 2 minutes of searching, the RF tran smission is failed.

Shorten the distance between the monitor & wind meter and search for the sensor again. If the RF transmission still failed,
then shorten the distance again and reset the wind meter by removing all batteries from the wind meter and wait for 10
seconds before re-installing the batteries again. Then repeat above step until the RF communication is completed.

5. Selecting a location for the rain gauge

Select a mounting location for the rain gauge that is:

- a flat, level surface and suggest to look for a location where the rain gauge can be placed 1 meter or more above ground
level.

- within 40 meter (131 feet) open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the rain gauge & the
monitor

- in an area not blocked on the top or sides, so rain can freely reach the rain gauge (for example, not under an overhang or
too close to a building or fence)

Cautions:

- To prevent false rainfall readings caused by water splashes, do not choose a location that is not level or that is too close
to the ground, a swimming pool, lawn sprinklers, or anywhere water might accumulate or run off

- The screen in the cylinder of the rain gauge filters most debris (such as leaves) that might fall into the rain gauge. To
avoid frequent build-up of debris in the cylinder, do not mount the rain gauge too close to the trees or plants
