2.3.2 Display Console Set Up
Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the
console will time out searching for the sensors. Power the console last.
Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m away from the console and within
30m of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it may not receive a proper signal.
Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 3. Insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium)) batteries
in the back of the display console. The display will beep once and all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds
to verify all segments are operating properly.
Note: The character contrast is best from a slightly elevated viewing angle.
Figure 3
Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.
The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity and time. Channel1-3 temperature and humidity will
update on the display within a few minutes. Do not Press any menu buttons until the Channel1-3 transmitters report
in, otherwise the Channel1-3 sensors search mode will be terminated. When the Channel1-3 transmitters data has
been received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be
performed.
While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed.
Note: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted position. The prongs
are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
Figure 4
Note: If the power adapter is plugged in, AC ON will display in the time area for three seconds when powered
up. Conversely, if the power adapter is not plugged in, AC OFF will be displayed.
2.3.3SensorOperationVerificati o n
The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array.
1. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match
closely with the console and sensor array in the same location
(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2°C (4°F) (the accuracy is ±1°C/2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for
both sensors to stabilize.
2. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with
the console and sensor array in the same location (about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ±
5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize
3.WeatherSt ationInstallation
3.1BestPracticesforWirelessCommunication
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 100 m line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will
get 30 m 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.
Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated) 5-15%
Plastics 10-15%
Wood 10-40%
Brick 10-40%
Concrete 40-80%
Metal 90-100%
3.2RemoteSensorInstallation
If you mount one or more of the sensors outside, it is recommended you mount the sensor(s) on a
north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in
inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensors are water resistant, it is best to mount in a
well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote
sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 5.

5.9AdjustmentorCalibration
Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always displays the
un-calibrated or measured value.
Note: The measured humidity range is between 10 and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately measured outside of this
range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%.
The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. The
measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source.
Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional. This section
discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not
compare your readings obtained from sources such as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different
location and typically update once per hour.
The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary significantly from
location to location.
The FT0851 supports up to three remote sensors. Each of the three sensors can be calibrated.

Problem Solution
Wireless remote not reporting in to
console.
There are dashes (--.-) on the display
console.
If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-)
will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal,
press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds,
choose the lost sensor and press SET button, and the
remote search icon
Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon
will turn off, and the current values will be
displayed.
The maximum line of sight communication range is 100
m and 30 m under most conditions. Move the sensor
assembly closer to the display console.
will be constantly displayed.
Problem Solution
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move
the sensor assembly away from the display console.
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working
and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote
thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments,
install lithium batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth
barrier (down a hill).
Move the display console around electrical noise
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other
wireless transmitters or receivers.
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the
remote sensor to a closer location.
Temperature sensor reads too high in the
day time.
Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not
agree
Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not
agree
Display console contrast is weak Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
Outdoor color does not change as
expected.
Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a
shaded area. The pre preferred location is a north facing
wall because it is in the shade most of the day.
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature
sensors should agree within 2 °C (the sensor accuracy is
± 1 °C).
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and
outdoor temperature to a known source.
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors
should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %).
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and
outdoor humidity to a known source.
Make sure the outdoor sensor is assigned to Channel 1.
