1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Weather WH2642 Wireless Internet Remote Monitoring Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting.
2. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to install, operate the weather station, and upload to the internet, along with references to the pertinent sections.
3. Getting Started
The WS-0900-IP weather station consists of an ObserverIP receiver, the sensor array, the outdoor thermo-hygrometer sensor, and the indoor wireless thermo-hygrometer-barometer.

1. Insert batteries into the sensor array. Locate the battery door on the sensor array, as shown
in Figure 2. Turn the set screw counter clockwise to loosen the screw, and rotate the sheet metal bracket to open the battery compartment.

Pull out the battery compartment, as shown in Figure 3.
Version 1.0 Page 7
Figure 3
Receiver model: WH2642
Sensor model: WH22B
Insert 2 x AA batteries in the battery compartment, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the
thermo-hygrometer. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries
Lithium batteries provide longer life and operate in colder temperatures.
Figure 4
Reinsert the battery compartment into sensor array (hold upright so the batteries do not slide out), and close the battery compartment door and tighten the set screw.
The LED on the back of the rain collector will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 45 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).

2. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer assembly (if necessary, some weather stations
come pre-assembled).. Push the wind cups into the anemometer shaft, as shown in Figure 5.
Tighten the set screw with the Allen Wrench (included), as shown in Figure 5. Make sure the wind cups spin freely.

3. Attach the mounting pole extension with the extension pole, nut and bolt, as shown in Figure
6.

3.4 Mounting the Sensor Array
Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction. There is a “S” indicator on the wind
vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 7. Align this “S” marker in the direction of South.

3.4 Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor Set Up
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
The outdoor thermometer-hygrometer measures and displays the outdoor temperature and humidity to the ObserverIP receiver.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by sliding off the battery door. Insert two AA batteries as shown in Figure 10, and close the battery door. Note that the temperature and humidity will be displayed on the LCD display.
