INSTALLATION WIRELESS 5-IN-1 SENSOR

Your wireless 5-IN-1 sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, temperature and humidity for you. It’s fully assembled and calibrated for your easy installation.

BATTERY AND INSTALLATION

Unscrew the battery door at bottom of unit and insert the batteries according to the +/- polarity indicated. Screw the battery door compartment on tightly.

Note:

1. Ensure the water tight O-ring is properly aligned in place to ensure water resistant.

2. The red LED will begin ashing every 12 seconds.

Install the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor in an open location with no obstructions above and around the sensor for accurate rain and wind measurement. Install the sensor with the smaller end facing the North to properly orient the wind direction vane. Secure the mounting stand and bracket (included) to a post or pole, and allow minimum 1.5m off the ground.

Points to

WIND CHILL / HEAT INDEX / DEW POINT TO VIEW WIND CHILL Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until WIND CHILL displays.

Note:

The wind chill factor is based on the combined effects of temperature and wind speed. The wind chill displayed is calculated solely from temperature and humidity measured from the 5-IN-1 sensor.

TO VIEW HEAT INDEX

Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until HEAT INDEX displays.

Note:

Heat index is only calculated when temperature is 27° C (80° F) or above, and based solely from the temperature and humidity measured from the 5-IN-1 sensor.

TO VIEW DEW POINT Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until DEW POINT displays.

Note:

The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface. The dew point temperature is calculated from the outdoor temperature and humidity measured at the outdoor 5-in-1 sensor.

The main unit will record past 24 hours weather data automatically that included past indoor and outdoor temperature & humidity, baro, wind chill, wind speed and rainfall records.

1. Press the [ HISTORY ] key to check past 1 hour history records.

2. Press [ HISTORY ] key repeatedly to show past 2, 3, 4 , 5.......24 history weather records.

MAX/MIN MEMORY FUNCTION

1. Press the MAX/MIN key to check the maximum/minimum records. The checking orders will be: Outdoor max temperature Outdoor min temperature Outdoor max humidity Outdoor min humidity

Indoor max temperature Indoor min temperature Indoor Max humidity Indoor min humidity Outdoor max wind chill Outdoor min wind chill Outdoor max heat index Outdoor min heat index max dew point min dew point Max pressure Min pressure Max average Max gust Max rainfall.

2. Press and hold the [ MAX/MIN ] key for 2 seconds to reset the maximum and minimum records.

Note:

When maximum or minimum reading is displayed, the corresponding timestamp will be shown.

TO ENABLE / DISABLE THE HI / LO ALERT

1. Press the [ ALERT ] key until the desired area is selected.

2. Press the [ ALARM ] key to turn the alert on or off.

3. Press the [ ALERT ] key to continue to next setting.

Note:

- The unit will automatically exit setting mode in 5 seconds if no key is pressed.

- When ALERT alarm is on, the area and type of alarm that triggered the alarm will be ashing and the alarm will sound for 2 minutes.

- To silence the Alert alarm beeping, press the [ ALARM / SNOOZE ] / [ ALARM ] key, or let the beeping alarm automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

WIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION

No sensor Signal searching Strong signal Weak signal Signal lost

The 5-IN-1 sensor is capable of transmitting data wirelessly over an approximate operating of 150m range (line of sight). Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions or other environmental interference, the signal may be weaken or lost. In case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you will need to relocate the Display main unit or the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY COMFORT INDICATION

The comfort indication is a pictorial indication based on indoor air temperature and humidity in an attempt to determine comfort level.

Too cold Comfortable Too hot

Note:

- Comfort indication can vary under the same temperature, depending on the humidity.

- There is no comfort Indication when temperature is below 0°C(32°F) or over 60°C (140°F).

Page 15

DATA CLEARING

During installation of the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor, the sensors were likely to be triggered, resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements. After the installation, user may clear out all the erroneous data from the Display Main Unit, without needing to reset the clock and re-establish pairing. Simply press and hold the [

HISTORY ] key for 10 seconds. This will clear out any data recorded before.

POINTING 5-IN-1 SENSOR TO THE SOUTH

The outdoor 5-IN-1 sensor is calibrated to be pointing to North by default. However, in some cases, users may

wish to install the product with the arrow pointing towards the South:

1. First install the outdoor 5-IN-1 sensor with its arrow pointing to the South.

2. On the Display main unit, press and hold the [ WIND ] key for 8 seconds until the upper part (Northern Hemisphere) of the compass lights up and blinking.

3. Use [ ] key / [ ] key to change to lower part (Southern Hemisphere).

4. Press the [ WIND ] key to conrm and exit.

Northern hemisphere Southern hemisphere

Note: Changing from hemisphere setting will automatically switch the direction of the moon phase on the display.

MOON PHASE

In the Northern hemisphere, the moon waxes (the part of the moon we see that glows after the New Moon) from the right. Hence the sun-lit area of the moon moves from right to left in the Northern Hemisphere, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it moves from left to right. Below is the table which illustrate how the moon will appear on the main unit.
