1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Solar Powered Wireless WiFi Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death. Perform
as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home. Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to install, operate the weather station, and upload to the internet, along with references to the pertinent sections.

4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout
Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.
4.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the rechargeable batteries every 2-3 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5’ from any building, structure, ground, or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’ tall, and the mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the maximum wireless range is 100’.
5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting
5
locations. Make sure your display console is at least five feet away from any electronic device to avoid interference.
5. Getting Started
The WS-1000-WiFi weather station consists of a display console (receiver), an all in one sensor array, and wireless thermo-hygrometer-barometer.

5.4 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor(s) upright on a vertical
surface, such as a wall. Do not lay the sensor flat.
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication.
3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.
4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of sight.
The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

2. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the display console (optional). Note: The batteries are intended for back-up power only. The backlight will remain on for 5 seconds when on back up battery power only. Only when you use power adapter it will the back-light be continuously on.
3. Keep both sensor and the display console together for 15 minutes to lock in the sensor signals.
4. (Optional)-Spin the wind cups to simulate wind speed. Take the sensor to the sink and slowly drip water into the rain bucket to simulate rain.
5. After 15miuntes, follow the mounting instructions for proper placement of sensors.
Note: Your display console should have readings in all sections. Wind and Rain will show 0’s (connected) until wind or rian occur or are simulated.
Note: If you only use battery to power up display console, you must press LIGHT/SNOOZE key to light up the LCD before press any other key.

6.2. Initial Display Console Set Up
Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the
console will timeout searching for the sensors. Perform this step last.
Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m from the console and within 100m of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it will not receive a proper signal.
1. Insert the power adapter into the power jack of the console, and plug in the adapter. The LCD display will beep once and then light up. The unit will show software version number 2 seconds after power reset.
Then the unit will turn on all segments of the LCD for 3 seconds, the unit will start to register the outdoor channel for 3 minutes.
2. Remove the battery door on the back of the display. Insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium, avoid rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console. Looking at the back of the unit (left to right), the polarity is (+) (-) for the top battery, (-) (+) for the middle battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
17
3. Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.
Note: The batteries are intended for back-up power only. The backlight will remain on for 5 seconds
when on back up battery power only. Only when you use power adapter it will the back-light be continuously on.
4. After initialization, the console will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, barometer, tendency, date and time. The wind speed, wind direction, rain, and outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. The remote search icon will turn
on：
Do not touch any buttons until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated and the search icon will turn off. When the remote sensor data has been received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, and all further settings can be performed.
If it does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 错误！未找到引用源。.

Weather Forecasting Description and Limitations
In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is generally improving (sunny to partly cloudy). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is generally degrading (cloudy, rainy or stormy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy.
The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts. In some locations, this prediction may be less or more accurate. However, it is still an interesting educational tool for learning why the weather changes.
The National Weather Service (and other weather services such as Accuweather and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their disposal to predict weather conditions, including weather radar, weather models, and detailed mapping of ground conditions.
6.8.7 Snooze
