INTRODUCTION
LW301/302

Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientic™ Anywhere

Weather Kit (LW301) or Kit Basic (LW302). Either one can
collect weather data via a weather sensor receiver from
different accessorial sensors, and then send the data

back to Oregon Scientic Internet server via Internet-

connected hub through Internet. It also provides a solution
for the user to have a weather station connection that can
be remote accessed from their mobile device, such as
smartphone or tablet PC.

NOTE Please keep this manual handy as you use
your new product. It contains practical step-by-step
instructions, as well as technical specifications and
warnings you should know about.

communication and transfer of data.

Enter MY WEATHER page, then tap HISTORY prole.

To search for a sensor:

Press and hold SEARCH (located at the back of the
weather sensor receiver).

NOTE Unit will search only for already registered sensor
or new sensor reset within last 30 minutes. To register a
new sensor, reset sensor prior to search.

TIP The transmission range may vary depending on
many factors. Sensors should be positioned in an open
area away from trees or other obstructions. Relocate your
sensor to various locations to have better reception.

MOUNTING / PLACING OF SENSORS

WIND SENSOR
LW301

Secure the sensor connector in the desired location:

a. Align the back of the sensor

connector to an existing pole.
Secure in place by inserting the

ends of the U-bolt into the holes on

the sensor connector and securing
it with washers and bolts.

a

b

LW301_UM_EN_R8.indd 8 2012/8/14 3:06:27 PM

OR

b. Insert 4 type A screws into the

holes of the sensor connector.

Screw rmly into place, i.e. fence.

Align the wind vane at against the

small end of the sensor connector,
and then slide it until it clicks into
place to lock the cover.

IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind
sensor is pointing north to enable it to
record accurate readings.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR
LW301/302

TIP Ideal placements for the sensor

would be in any loc ation on the
exterior of the home at a height of not
more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can
shield it from direct sunlight or wet
conditions for an accurate reading.

Secure the sensor in the desired
location using the wall mount bracket
or table stand.

RAIN GAUGE
LW301

The rain gaug e should be moun ted hori zontally about
1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from
trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an
accurate reading.

To ensure a level plane:

Put a few drops of water on the cross
at the base of the funnel to check the
horizontal level.

Water will pool to the centre of the cross
when the rain gauge is level.

If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is
not horizontal.

If necessa ry, adjust the lev el usi ng
the screw.

NOTE For best results, ensure the base
is horizontal to allow maximum drainage
of any collected rain.

TIP Erase all testing data from application
before formal use.
