INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this UPM Wireless Weather Station WS2635.
Please take the time to read and understand this manual, to enjoy the features
and convenience of this product.
What is a Weather Station?
A weather station is a device that measures the current weather conditions and
transmits these readings from outdoor sensors to an indoor receiver. Then, based
on these outdoor sensor readings, predicts the upcoming weather forecast for
the next 8-12 hours. The weather forecast is displayed on the receiver as weather
icons, such symbols of the sun, clouds, rain or snow.
Remote transmitters:
- Temperature transmitter (WT440H / Thermometer):
The outdoor temperature sensor transmits an updated wireless signal to the
receiver every minute. The current temperature is then displayed on the receiver,
in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Additional temperature sensors may also be
placed other locations (such as your greenhouse or wine cellar) to monitor
temperature fluctuations in multiple locations. The receiver is compatible with up
to three remote temperature transmitters, but only one is included in this kit.
- Humidity transmitter (WT440H / Hygrometer):
The concentration of water vapor in the air, at the location of the transmitter, is
displayed as a relative humidity percentage ranging from 15% to 95%. The ideal
‘Comfort Zone’ for the human body ranges from 35 to 65% humidity, so long as
the temperature remains between 18° and 24°C.

INTRODUCTION
- Air Pressure (WS2635 / Barometer):
A barometric pressure sensor is located within the receiver unit itself. The
barometer monitors the atmospheric pressure, which is the amount of downward
force exerted by the weight of the air, and is measured in inches of mercury (Hg).
Air pressure fluctuations are an important factor in predicting changes in the
weather.
- Wind speed and direction gauge (WDS500 / Anemometer):
The wind speed and direction is measured by the anemometer sensor, and this
data is wirelessly transmitted to the receiver. The direction of the wind is
displayed on a digital compass and the speed is given in km/h or mph.
- Rain level gauge (RD700 / Pluviometer):
The rainfall is measured and recorded by the rain gauge; it can be displayed in
millimeters or in inches by the receiver. The rain gauge gathers precipitation until
its inner "tipping bucket" mechanism is full, then the bucket tips and the liquid is
released. Every minute, the rain gauge calculates the number of times the bucket
has tipped; then transmits this data to the receiver. The total accumulated rainfall
(for the last hour, the present day, or for the previous day) may be displayed.

TRANSMITTER SETUP
Before following the steps below, make sure you have the following items:
- Compass (not included)
- 9 x AA batteries (included)
- 10 screws (included)
Setting the wind gauge
The wind gauge is a sensor that transmits the wind speed and the direction to
the receiver.
1. To install, (see diagram F)
2. There are 3 methods to mount the wind gauge (See diagram H).
If you are installing the shaft in a horizontal position, remove the cap first.
Note: 4 plugs are provided to screw the wind gauge’s plate to a
concrete or brick surface.
Note: Before mounting, you must use a compass to align the “N”marking on
the plate of the wind gauge so that it is facing north (see diagram I).
To see the North marking, you must temporarily remove the wind gauge fin.
This step is necessary to indicate the correct wind direction.
3. Mounting the wind gauge (see diagram I)
Note: Mount the wind gauge in an open space, as high as possible and
without any nearby walls or obstacles, in the direct flow of the wind.
- attatch the cups to the wind sensor body with the 3mm x 8mm screws.
- make sure the top of the wind gauge is stable and level.
- To enure the most accurate readings, make sure that the wind cup and the fin
are freely mobile.

TRANSMITTER SETUP
- When the wind gauge's batteries are low, the following symbol will display on
the receiver, under the wind speed display:
Setting the rain gauge sensor
The rain gauge is an individual sensor that transmits rainfall to the receiver and
measures the total rainfall and precipitation history.
1. To insert batteries into the rain gauge(see diagram G)
2. To view possible locations to install the rain gauge. (See diagram H)
3. To fasten the rain gauge with 2 screws (see diagram J)
Note: The rain gauge gathers precipitation, until it's inner "tipping bucket"
mechanism is full, then the bucket tips and the liquid is released. So place
the unit in a location where the water can be safely released. To obtain
accurate precipitation readings, there should be no obstacles (walls, trees, etc...)
close to the rain gauge. When the rain gauge’s batteries are low, the following
indicator will display on the receiver under the rain fall display:
Setting the temperature / humidity remote sensor
1. Remove the detachable cover at the back of the unit.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the battery door, located at the back of the unit.
3. Insert 2 AA batteries according to the indicated polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment and re-insert the screw. The remote sensor
will now display the outdoor temperature and humidity alternatively.
5. To toggle between ºC/ºF temperature display, press the ºC/ºF key.

INTERFERENCE
Interference occurs when radio waves or electronic signals are blocked or
interrupted by consumer electronic products. In the case of a weather station,
the signal from the transmitter to the receiver may be interrupted by a wireless
telephone, or other electronic equipment. Additionally, if your next door neighbor
is operating a similar weather station, your receiver might pick up a signal from
their temperature sensor by mistake. The solution to undesired interference is to
set your temperature sensor(s) on a specific frequency (or house code) which
ranges from 1-15. (This house code setting may be applied to the temperature/
humidity transmitter (WT440H) only, not to the wind or rain gauges in this kit.)
Setting the House Code
The house code is the frequency signal sent by the remote sensor to the
receiver. If the receiver experiences signal interference, you will need to set the
remote sensor to a different house code (default setting = 1).
After inserting the batteries, the house code will flash for 8 seconds. Select a
house code (1-15) by pressing ºC/ºF (Diagram C [2]) and then press SET
(Diagram C [1]). The remote sensors for each receiver must be set to the
same house code.
10
SET CHANNEL
Set Channel for one or multiple sensors
The WS2635 comes with only one temperature/humidity transmitter (WT440H)
but it is compatible with up to three. If only one sensor is used the transmitter will
default to channel one. However, if you have purchased additional remote
temperature sensors, you must set each of them to a different channel (1, 2 or 3)
but be sure to select the same house code (1-15) on all temperature sensors.
After setting the house code, the channel will flash for 8 seconds.
Select a channel (1-3) by pressing ºC/ºF (Diagram C [2]) and then press
SET (Diagram C [1]). Channel 1 is the default, used for collecting temperature
and humidity data from the outdoors.
Low battery indication: if the batteries of the sensor are low, the indicator
will be displayed on the receiver below the outdoor temperature display.
Note: If the sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period
of time, the batteries may lose power, reducing the transmission range.
