Introduction

Thank you for your purchasing this professional weather station. This device is working based on WCDMA /GSM network. It can be configured to send data to a specified server by WCDMA/GSM so that users can run remote monitoring of weather condition.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual to become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future reference.
The device can measure the below weather data and transmit them to web:www.wunderground.com by WCDMA/GSM network.
1. Wind direction
8.Indoor Temperature
2. Wind speed
9.Indoor Humidity
3. Solar radiation rate
10.Outdoor Temperature
4. UV index
11. Outdoor Humidity
5. Absolute pressure
12. Dew point
6. Relative pressure
13.Rain fall
7. Gust

Package Content:

It includes a receiver with built in WCDMA module, a 7-in-1 outdoor sensor array, an indoor temperature & humidity sensor and a solar panel. Below please find the package content:

Solar panel Unit

The solar panel base is to be connected to the power connector for receiver via a 2 core 5 meter extending cable.

Installation

Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at their final destination, please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct function. Also please note configuring parameters on PC software is necessary before permanent installation. (Refer to USB Configure Tool Operation part).

Outdoor unit

Install wind vane

Push the wind vane into the shaft. as shown in figure 1. Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 2. Make sure the wind vane spin freely.

Figure1 Figure 2
There are four alphabet letter of "N", "E", "S" and "W" around the wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.

Install wind speed

Push the wind cup into the shaft. as shown in figure 3. Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 4. Make sure the wind speed spin freely.
Figure 3 Figure 4

Install Batteries

Insert 2XAA batteries in the battery compartment. The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).
Figure 5 Figure 6
Note: If no LED light up or is lighted permanently, make sure the
battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset is happened. Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the outdoor sensor
Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not
recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
.

Mount outdoor sensor

Reference 8&9. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a bracket that tightens around a 1 to 2” diameter pole (not included) using the four U-Bolt nuts.

Use the bubble level beside the rain sensor as a guide to verify that sensors are level.

Indoor Sensor

Sensor Set up

Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery
polarity before inserting the batteries.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor. Insert two AA batteries.

Figure 8
-9-
We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
Replace the battery door. Note that the temperature and humidity will be displayed on the LCD display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.

Sensor Placement

Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as an eve.
1. Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in
Figure 10
2. Hang the remote sensor up on string, as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 6
Figure 11
Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down
on a flat surface. This will insure optimum reception. Wireless signals are impacted by distance, interference (other weather stations, wireless phones, wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers, such as walls. In general, wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for example).

Initial Receiver Unit Set Up

1. Before power on the device, please open the case (Figure 12) and
use a 3G SIM card to install in one of the SIM card slots. (Figure
13).The Bigger slot is for micro SIM card and the other is for Nano SIM card.
Figure 12
Micro SIM card slot: 1.Unfold the foil of Micro sim card slot 2.Put
the SIM card into the compartment. 3. Cover the foil and lock the slot.
Nano SIM card slot: Insert the sim card into slot directly as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13
Note: The SIM card must support SMS and mobile data. SIM card
lock must be disabled. Prepaid SIM cards are not recommended, as data will not be uploaded when you run out of credit.
Note: Please install only 1 SIM card to work.
