Setup Preparation
Welcome!
Here are some items needed to setup your station (not included):
1. Phillips head screwdriver for assembly.
2. Fresh Batteries: 5 (ve) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for
the sensors.
3 (three) AAA alkaline batteries for the
station (optional).
For best results:
• Remove weather station and sensors from the package and place
together on a table or bench, within easy reach.
• Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of setup location.
• Keep sensors and weather station 5-10 feet apart for the rst
15 minutes after installing batteries.
• Each sensor reads independently to the weather station. Before
permanently mounting sensors, place them in desired location for
1 hour to be sure there is a steady reading to the weather station.
• Maximum transmission range is 330 ft. (100 m) open air.
• If sensor connection is lost, search for the sensors.
Search for Temperature/Humidity Sensor
• Hold the TEMP button for 2 seconds to search for the sensor.
• The tower icon will ash for 3 minutes indicating the search.
Search for Multi-sensor
• Hold the WIND button for two seconds.
• The tower icon will ash for 3 minutes indicating the search.

Note: Your own mounting pole (1.2 inches, 3.1 cm, not included)
may be inserted into the sensor, instead of using the
mounting bracket and pole included.

4. Align the square opening on the bottom or the pole over the
square of the mounting bracket.
5. Turn the knob to tighten the bracket to the pole.
Turn knob to

over tighten
TX232TH Sensor
1. Insert 2 AA batteries into the temperature/humidity sensor.
2. The red LED light will ash every 58 seconds when transmitting.
3. The transmission icon will show briey when transmitting.
4. You can select a dierent channel on the sensor if you suspect
interference.
Note: Two hours after initial setup, the temperature/humidity
sensor will search for the Atomic time signal.

Weather Station
1. Insert the 5 volt AC adapter into the back of the weather station.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the weather station (optional).
3. Keep both sensors and the weather station together for 15 minutes
to lock in the sensor signals.
4. (Optional)-Spin the wind cups to simulate wind speed. Take the
Multi-sensor to the sink and slowly drip water into the rain
bucket to simulate rain.
5. After 15 minutes, follow the mounting instructions for proper
placement of each sensor.

Mounting Instructions
TX232TH-LCD Temperature/Humidity Sensor
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw into a
•
wall leaving some extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw,
•
gently pull the transmitter down to
lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw through
•
the front of the transmitter and into
the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not
•
over tighten).
Mount the temperature/humidity sensor on
•
a north-facing wall or in any well shaded
location. Sun will make it read high.
Under an eave or deck rail is preferred.
•
Be sure the outdoor sensor is mounted
•
vertically to drain moisture.
Avoid mounting under a metal roof and use
•
stainless screws for best WWVB reception
and RCC transmition.
The maximum wireless transmission
•
range to the weather station is over
330 feet (100 meters) in open air, not
TX231RW Multi-sensor
For most accurate wind speed and rainfall
•
Bubble
Level
readings, mount the Multi-sensor in an
open area clear for 50 feet in all directions.
Mount with the solar panel facing south so
•
the wind direction is correct. See N, S, E W,
embossed on the top of the sensor.
•
Use the bubble level on the top of the
sensor to ensure it is level, for accurate
rainfall readings.

Mounting continued
•
The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is over 330
feet (100 meters) in open air, not including walls or trees.
Mount sensor vertically.
•
Cups should be on the top of the sensor.
•
Attach to mounting surface with screws through the mounting
•
bracket.
The sensor can be mounted from the bottom or from the side.
•
Alternatively:
•
Insert your own mounting pole sensor.
•
Tighten screws
Mounting bracket would not be used.
