Installation

The Honeywell Professional Weather Station TE923W operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no wire installation is required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote weather sensors (transmitters). The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer (temperature and humidity) sensor, UV (ultraviolet) sensor, anemometer (wind sensor) and a rain gauge (rain sensor). All data measured by these remote sensors is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with the operating range in the open area from 100 feet (30 meters) for anemometer and rain gauge; and up to 328 feet (100 meters) for thermo-hygrometer and UV sensors. Remote UV sensor, anemometer and a rain gauge must be placed outdoors to measure weather elements.

Remote thermo-hygrometer can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature and humidity are intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature and humidity, place the remote sensor outdoors.

NOTE: It is critical to assemble and power up all of the remote weather sensors BEFORE setting

up the main unit.

NOTE: It is critical to power up and test communication between all of the weather sensors and the main unit BEFORE permanently mounting them outside.

Before you begin

• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote weather sensors and the main

unit when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We recommend using lithium batteries for the remote weather sensors when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).

• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct

power requirements).

• ALWAYS install batteries in the remote weather sensors before the main unit.

• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment

• Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any).

• During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote weather sensors.

• After reception is established (all of the remote readings will appear on the main unit’s

display), position the remote sensors and the main unit within the effective transmission range of up to 328 feet (100 meters). Ideally they should be placed within the line of sight of the main unit. See placement tips in the user manual for each remote weather sensor separately.

• Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.

• The main unit must be placed indoors.

• The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building materials

and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitters (weather sensors) are positioned.

• Place the remote weather sensors so that they face the main unit (receiver), minimizing

obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the outdoor remote weather sensors may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below.

IMPORTANT

maintenance.

We recommend cleaning the remote weather sensors periodically, as the dirt and debris may affect sensors accuracy.

: Make sure that the remote weather sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and

thermo-hygrometer sensor on the wall

Placement

• The remote thermo-hygrometer sensor should be placed in the area with a free air

circulation and sheltered from the direct sunlight and an extreme weather conditions.

• Ideally, place the thermo-hygrometer sensor above the natural surfaces (such as a

grassy lawn).

• Avoid placing the thermo-hygrometer sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys and

heating elements.

• Avoid any areas collecting and radiating a heat from the sun, such as metal, brick or

concrete structures, paving, patios and decks.

• The international standard for the valid air temperature measurements is 4 feet

(1.25meters) above the ground.

Operation

Immediately after batteries are correctly installed, the remote sensor will start transmitting a temperature and humidity data to the main unit.

Note: Every time after replacing batteries in the sensor, press and old DOWN arrow button for 3-4 seconds on the main unit’s control panel or hand held remote control.

• Make sure that the rain gauge bucket is level – check if the bubble center is inside the

built-in leveler.

• Place the protective screen over the top to protect the rain gauge from the debris.

• Mount the rain gauge in place using mounting hardware.

• Make sure that the rain gauge is in open area where precipitation falls directly into the

gauge’s bucket, ideally 2-3 feet above the ground.

Placement

• The rain gauge should be placed in an open area away from the walls, fences, trees and

other coverings which may reduce the amount of rain falling into the bucket. Additionally, trees and rooftops may be sources of pollen and debris.

• To avoid the rain shadow effects, place the rain gauge horizontally, on the distance

corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.

• It is important that excess rain can flow freely away from the rain gauge.

Operation

After batteries are correctly installed, the rain gauge will start transmitting a rainfall data to the main unit.

Battery installation

• Remove four (4) screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.

• Open the battery compartment and install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)

matching the polarities shown.

sends the signal to the main unit (0.0 mph will appear on the main unit’s wind window if the signal was sent and received successfully)

Aligning This procedure must be performed after main unit has been powered and all remote weather sensors signals were received successfully.

• Manually point the wind direction vane to the north (use a compass or map if necessary).

• Press the “SET” button located inside battery compartment (on the shorter side) with a

paper clip. “SET” button selects a new direction for NORTH and, when pressed

repeatedly, alternates between the factory default NORTH and user selected NORTH.

• Watch for the next anemometer data transmission in the main unit’s wind window – the

direction will be updated

• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

Note: Repeat aligning procedure every time after changing the batteries. Mounting

Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided.

Placement tips:

• The anemometer should be mounted in an open area with a free air flow; away from the

nearby trees, buildings or other structures.

• For optimal performance, mount the anemometer at 33 feet (10meters) above the ground

in unobstructed area.
