Thank you for selecting Wi-fi weather station with 6-in-1 professional sensor. This system
gathers and automatically uploads accurate and detailed weather data to Weather
Underground website - the famous weather service which allows weather observers to upload
their local weather data with automated personal weather stations (PWS) - at which you can
access and upload your weather data freely . This product offers professional weather observers
or serious weather enthusiasts robust performance with a wide range of options and sensors

.
You will get your own local forecast, high/lows, totals or averages and graphs for virtually all
weather variables without using a PC

.

Wi-fi Weather Station includes a 6-in-1 wireless outdoor sensor which transmits outdoor
temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and UV with solar power . Also,
the included wireless indoor sensor, which can add to a sensor array of maximum 7 units,
transmits your indoor temperature & humidity to the console . Both sensors are fully assembled
and calibrated for your easy installation . They send data at a low power radio frequency to the
console from up to 150m/450 feet away (line of sight)

.

In the main console, a high-speed processor is embedded to analyze the received weather
data and these real-time data can be published to Wunderground.com through your home
Wi-fi router. The console can also synchronize with internet time server to keep the time and
weather data time stamp of high precision . The wide-viewing-angled with high-contrasted
LCD display shows informative weather readings with advanced features, such as high/low
alert alarm, different weather index, multi-functional bar chart and MAX/MIN records . With the
built-in sunrise/sunset and moon phase feature, this system is truly a remarkably personal yet
professional weather station for your own backyard

.

Note:
This instruction manual contains useful information on the proper use and care of this product

.
Please read this manual through to fully understand and enjoy its features, and keep it handy
for future use

The heat index, which is determined by the wireless
outdoor sensor's temperature & humidity data, when the
temperature is between 27°C (80°F) and 50°C (120°F)

.

Dewpoint

-

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 determined by the

.

temperature & humidity data from wireless outdoor
sensor

.

WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecast window (FORECAST) locates at the upper right corner of the LCD . The

console is built with a sensitive pressure sensor, by which the proven sophisticated software
forecasts the weather of the next 12~24 hours within a 30~50km (19~31 miles) radius.

22

Note:

Absolute

The absolute atmospheric pressure of your location

.

Relative

The relative atmospheric pressure based on the sea level

-

The weather forecast is reflecting the weather situation for next 12 hours, it may not
necessarily reflect the current situation.

-

The “Snowy” icon will be displayed when the outdoor temperature is below -3°C (26°F), and
under cloudy or rainy forecast

.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The barometric pressure window (BARO) locates in the middle right of the LCD Barometric

pressure: the atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any location of the Earth caused by
the weight of the column of air above it . One atmospheric pressure refers to the average
pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases . Meteorologists use barometers to
measure atmospheric pressure . Since variation in atmospheric pressure
greatly affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measuring the changes in
pressure

.

To set the barometer unit and select the wind display mode
1 . In normal mode, press [ BARO ] key to change the barometer unit in this sequence: hPa

→ inHg → mmHg

2 . In normal mode, press and hold [ BARO ] key to switch between ABSOLUTE/RELATIVE

display .

To set the RELATIVE atmospheric pressure value
1 . Obtain the atmospheric pressure data of the sea level (it is also the relative atmospheric

pressure data of your home area) through the local weather service, internet or any weather
information source

.

Note:

-

When you change the RELATIVE atmospheric pressure value, the weather indicators will
change along with it

-

The built-in barometer detects the environmental absolute atmospheric pressure changes

.

Based on the data collected, it predicts the weather conditions in the forthcoming 12 hours
The weather indicator will change according to the detected absolute atmospheric pressure
after operating the clock for 1 hour

-

The RELATIVE atmospheric pressure is based on the sea-level pressure you entered but it
will change with the absolute atmospheric pressure after operating the clock for 1 hour

POINTING THE 6-IN-1 SENSOR TO SOUTH

2 1 2

The outdoor 6-in-1 sensor is calibrated to point to North for the maximum accuracy . However,
for the user's convenience (e .g . users in the Southern hemisphere), it is possible to use the
sensor with the wind vane pointing to South
1 . Install the wireless outdoor sensor with its wind meter end pointing to South . (Please refer

to INSTALLATION OF THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR SENSOR for mounting details)

2 . In normal mode of the console, press and hold [ INDEX ] key for 8 seconds to enter into the

UV index calibration mode, then press the index again until the “N” icon appears on the

weekday location to enter into the sensor orientation mode
3 . Use [ GRAPH / Λ ] or [ °F / °C / V ] key to change to lower part (Southern Hemisphere)
4 . Press [ INDEX ] key to confirm and exit.
5 . Press the [ REFRESH ] to synchronize the internet time after you complete the setting

Note:

-

Changing the hemisphere setting will automatically switch the direction of the moon phase

on the display

MAINTENANCE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the low battery indicator “ ” displays, it indicates that the wireless outdoor 6-in-1
weather sensor or the current channel wireless Indoor thermo-hygro sensor battery power is
low . You should replace with fresh AA size batteries at once

CLEANING THE RAIN COLLECTOR
1 . Unscrew the rain collector by turning it 30°anticlockwise

2 . Gently remove the rain collector
3 . Clean and remove any debris or insects
4 . Install the collector when it is clean and fully dried

CLEANING THE HYGRO-THERMO SENSOR OF THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR SENSOR
1 . Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the radiation shield

2 . Gently pull out the shield
3 . Carefully remove any dirt or insects on the sensor casing (do not

let the sensors inside get wet)
4 . Clean the shield with water to remove any dirt or insects
5 . Install all the parts back when they are clean and fully dried
