Features
Temperature Sensor
- Measures temperature with a 30cm (11.81inch) stainless steel probe sensor for the probe version.
- Extended wireless range up to 300 feet (100 meters) in open areas.
- Transmits readings every 77 seconds.
- IP65 waterproof.
- LCD display for current reading.
When paired with a GW1000/GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway:
- View temperature reading on the Live Data page of the WS View app (requires that the gateway and your phone are using the same Wi-Fi network).
- Up to 8 channels supported. Channel names can be edited on the app.
- Battery level information displayed on the WS View App.
When paired with a Weather Station Console (HP2551/HP3500/HP3501):
- View temperature data in real-time on the Display.
- Up to 8 channels supported. Channel names can be edited on the console.
When uploaded to Eco Witt Weather Server:
- View current temperature data, history records and graph on the website.
- Receive email alerts from the server.
- Remote monitoring with smart phone, laptop, or computer by visiting the website.
Setup Guide
Installing battery
-
Remove the battery door on the back of the transmitter by removing the screw, as shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2: Battery installation
-
Insert one 1.5V AA battery (be aware of polarity: flat side of the battery goes to the spring side of the battery compartment).
-
The temperature reading will display on the LCD screen immediately and will normally update every 77 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).
Note: If there is no reading on the screen, make sure the battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset happens.
Make sure the battery is inserted correctly. Do not install the battery backward. -
Close the battery door by installing the screw.
Sensor Placement
To mount the unit on a wall or wooden beam:
- Use a screw (Screw ST D3.2M2.06) to fix the bracket on the wall, and then insert the probe through the hole of the bracket.
Figure 3-1: Sensor mounting
Fix the sensor to the bracket with the Hexagon M12 nut and tighten the screw as shown on figure 3-2: (hand turn the nut until firm, and then use a wrench to turn 1/3 ~ 1/2 turn and no more. Do not over tighten.)
Figure 3-2: Sensor mounting
To mount the unit to a pole (not included) with the included hose clamp:
**Figure 4: Sensor mounting to pole
Note:
**When installing the soil temperature sensor in the soil, please do not push
the probe into the soil by holding the main unit body instead of the probe
itself.
The unit is fragile between the probe and main body attachment and can only
withstand a maximum force of 5kg.
Please don’t insert the sensor into corrosive liquids or hard rock to avoid any damage.
Wi-Fi Configuration with gateway
To view the sensor data on your mobile application and receive email alerts on our weather server, you need to pair this device with our GW1000/GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway or HP2551/HP3500/HP3501 Weather Station (each sold separately).
Pair with Gateway
If the GW1000/GW1100 has been in operation, and you have never had any WN34 sensor setup before, just power up the sensor and GW1000/GW1100 will pick the sensor data automatically.
Note:
The gateway can support a maximum of 8 WN34 temperature sensors. Each new
sensor will be recognized as a new channel according to the Power-on sequence.
You may attach a label to the channel on each sensor for distinction. The
channel name can be edited both on the app and ecowitt.net (The edited name on
the app will not sync to the ecowitt.net website, and it should be edited on
your device setup page on ecowitt.net separately).
If you want to use a new WN34 sensor to replace the old one (already configured on certain channel), please try the following:
- Open the Sensor ID page on the WS View app, and find your old sensor ID.
- Power off the old sensor and power on the new sensor.
- Click Re-register on the Sensor ID page.
Then the new sensor will be learned and the old sensor will be erased.
Wi-Fi Connection for the Gateway
For this part, please refer to the manual of the GW1000/GW1100 Wi-Fi gateway
View Online Data with WS View
When the Wi-Fi configuration is done (to tell the gateway to be hooked to your
Wi-Fi network), your sensor data as well as the
sensor battery voltage information will be displayed on WS View App at the
Live Data page.
Note:
It requires your phone and the gateway must be in the same network when
viewing your sensor live data on the WS View app.
Live data refers to current data received by the gateway and is not stored on
WS View app.
However data is always pushed and saved on
www.ecowitt.net cloud (under your registered
account, and it can always be accessed via your browser.)
Detailed operation instructions can be found in the GW1000/GW1100 manual.
Set Email Alerts
Once your device is added successfully on the Ecowitt Weather server, you may
set alerts for the sensor on the website to get email
notifications.
