QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the intelligent weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet
apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both the intelligent weather station and remote
temperature/humidity sensor units for 10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature/humidity sensor first then into the
intelligent weather station.
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
In this time the intelligent weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor will start to talk to
each other and the display will show the intelligent temperature/humidity, outdoor temperature/humidity,
heat index and dew point. If the intelligent weather station does not display all information after the 15
minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After all information has been displayed for 15 minutes
you can place your sensors outdoors and set your time.
Important Notes on Set-up and Operation
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area.
• Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature/humidity sensor but direct rain must be
avoided.
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have
to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of
resistance and an interior wall can have up to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance
should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.
• The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have
been installed, the intelligent weather station will search for the signal for a duration of 4 minutes. If
there is no temperature or humidity reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 4 minutes, make sure the
units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery installation procedure.
• If a button is pressed before the intelligent weather station receives the signal from the remote
temperature/humidity sensor, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.
To complete the set up of your new wireless weather station after the 15 minutes have passed please
follow the steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE INTELLIGENT WEATHER STATION
The intelligent weather station uses 3 AA (alkaline recommended) batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced the
low battery symbol will appear on the LCD.
To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the
battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see battery compartment
marking).
3. Replace battery cover.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY
SENSOR
The remote temperature/humidity sensor uses 2 x AA IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace
the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery cover at the front side with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see battery compartment marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Note:
When changing the batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is
because the transmitter at start-up assigns a random security code and this code must be received and stored by the
intelligent weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized
facility.
ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is
located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States
at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station.
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The weather
station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the
NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every
day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard,
measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more information on the
atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

WEATHER ALARM OPERATIONS
WEATHER ALARMS
The Weather alarms are settable for when certain weather conditions are met according to the users requirements. For
example, the user can set the thresholds for the outdoor temperature to +104°F (+40°C) (high) and +14°F (-10°C) (low),
whilst only enabling the high alarm and disabling the low alarm (i.e. temperatures < +14°F (-10°C) won’t trigger alarm,
but temperatures > +104°F (+40°C) will).
Alarm setting Minimum Maximum
Air Pressure 27.16 inHg (920.0 hPa) 31.89 inHg (1080.0 hPa)
Outdoor Temperature -22° F (-30.0°C) +157.9° F (+69.9°C)
Indoor Temperature +14°F (-10.0°C) +139.9°F (+59.9°C)
Humidity (all) 1% RH 99% RH
HYSTERESIS
To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to sound constantly if the
measured reading is close to user set level, a hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For
example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +78°F (+25°C) and the current value moves to +78°F (+25°C), the
alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to +77.9°F (+24.9°C) or below and
thereafter again increases to beyond +78°F (+25°C), the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated. It has to
drop to below +77.9°F (+24°C) (with a pre-set hysteresis of 2°F (1°C)) so that the alarm can be produced again.
Hysteresis values for the various weather data types are given in the following table:

There are 4 weather icons in the fourth section of LCD that can be displayed in any of the following combinations:
Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Cloudy Rainy
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the
change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has
been too slow for the intelligent weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or rainy, there will be
no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already
at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as
each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that
the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is
expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
The change of weather forecast icon is in accord to the relationship between current relative pressure and the pressure
change since last three hours.
If the weather is changing, both old weather icon and new weather icon will be shown with weather tendency indicator
(animated arrows). If the weather has not changed within 6 hours, only the new weather icon in the middle display will
be shown.
Examples of changing weather icons:
Note:
After initial set up of the intelligent weather station with the setting of the relative value, readings for weather forecasts
should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the intelligent weather station to collect
air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
If the intelligent weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point
(for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), set again the relative air pressure value, and discard
the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the intelligent weather station will not mistake the new
location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.
AIR PRESSURE TENDENCY INDICATOR
The air pressure tendency indicators are located on the left side of the air pressure display, below the weather icons,
and they work independently from the weather forecast icons. The air pressure tendency indicator pointing upward or
downward directions is displayed based on comparing the difference of the air pressure recorded during a full hour time
frame.
Note:
• A single air pressure tendency indicator will point upward or downward when the difference in air pressure
registered is between 0.03 and 0.09 inHg (1 and 3hPa) within 4 hours.
• Two air pressure tendency indicators pointing upward or downward will be displayed when the air pressure
difference has increased or decreased by 0.09 inHg (3hPa) or more within 4 hours.

BAR GRAPH DISPLAY
Depending on programming conditions, display of the history of air pressure in form of a graph consisting of vertical
bars.
ir pressure over the last 12 hours
AIR PRESSURE HISTORY
The bar graph of the electronic barometer shows the air pressure history of the past 36 hours in 17 steps.
The horizontal axis represents the last 36 hours air pressure recording (-36, -24, -12, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, and 0 hour).
The bars are plotted at each of the 17 steps and give the trend over the recorded period. The scale on the right
compares the result. The ″0″ in the middle of this scale determines the current air pressure.
The vertical axis represents the air pressure changes in inHg (+8, +6, +4, +2, 0, -2, -4, -8. “0” represents the current air
pressure). Each change (±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±6, ±7, ±8; the odd values are not shown on the vertical axis but can be
determined) shows in inches of mercury (inHg), how high or low the past air pressure was as compared to the current
one. If the bars are rising it indicates that the weather is getting better due to an increase in air pressure. If the bars go
down it indicates a drop of the air pressure and the weather is expected to get worse from the present time ″0″.
At every full hour the current air pressure is used as a basis for the display of a new graph bar. The existing graph is
then moved one bar to the left.
Note:
For accurate barometric pressure trend, the intelligent weather station should operate at the same altitude. For
example, it should not be move from the ground to the second floor of the house. Should the unit be moved to a new
location, discard readings for the next 12 – 36 hours.

REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR / 433MHZ RECEPTION CHECK
The outdoor temperature and humidity is measured and transmitted every 60 seconds.
The ambient temperature may affect the transmission range of the remote temperature/humidity sensor. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.
To install the remote temperature/humidity sensor outside, choose a shady and dry place. Before fixing the
remote temperature/humidity sensor with the enclosed screws, wait for 30 minutes to see if the indoor display
is able to scan the signal from this location. Obstacles (walls, windows, trees) and interfering radio waves (PC,
mobile phone, TV) can impede the reception or limit the range (about 300 feet (100 meters) in open space)
considerably. Should interference occur, choose another location for the remote temperature/humidity sensor
and/or the intelligent weather station.
If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within 1 minute after setting up (or the outdoor
display show “--.-“ in the outdoor section of the intelligent weather station after 3 failed attempts during normal
operation). Please check the following points:
1. The distance of the intelligent weather station or remote temperature/humidity sensor should be at least 3 to 6
feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
20
2. Avoid positioning the intelligent weather station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal doors or window
frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency
(433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
3. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
4. “Visibility” of intelligent weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor (e.g. through a window)
increases the range.
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received, do not re-open the battery cover of either the remote temperature/humidity sensor
or the intelligent weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this
happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
POSITIONING THE INTELLIGENT WEATHER STATION:
The intelligent weather station has been designed to hang on a wall or free standing.
For Free standing:
Simply attach the stand to the bottom of the unit and place onto a flat surface.
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature and humidity values can be
received from the desired locations. To wall mount:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by
about 5mm.
2. Fold the stand of the intelligent weather station by pushing inward and hang it onto the
screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR:
Table stand/wall
mount bracket
The remote temperature/humidity sensor can be placed onto any flat
surface or wall mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall
mount base.
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic
anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature/humidity sensor onto the bracket.
21
Note:
Before permanently fixing the remote temperature/humidity sensor wall base, pace all units in the desired locations to
check that the outdoor temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received,
relocate the remote temperature/humidity sensor or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the units and give
inaccurate forecasts and readings.
• When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as
they may mark the LCD and casings.
• Do not submerge the units in water.
• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of
the recommended type.
• Do make any repair attempts to the units. Return it to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified
engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate their guarantee.
• Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts
and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
