INSTALLATION

WEATHER STATION
Open the battery compartment cover of the weather station and insert 2 alkaline 1,5V AA batteries. Note the correct polarity of the batteries [ “+” and “-” ]. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to power the weather station. The display will light up and all symbols will appear shortly. The weather station will then switch to normal operating mode. The batteries are for the settings if the power supply via the adapter is interrupted unexpectedly.
When the weather station is connected to the power adapter for the first time, the time bar will blink “01 AP” and the wi-fi indicator LED on the side will also blink. (1x per second) The wi-fi (EZ) logon mode is now active. If the weather station does not automatically enter “01 AP” (or “02 AP”, please refer to the manual) mode when turned on for the first time, it can be activated by pressing and holding the button for more than 3 seconds.

NOTE: If the power adapter is disconnected, the wi-fi connection will be automatically lost.

WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR
Open the battery compartment of the wireless remote sensor and insert preferably 2 lithium batteries 1,5 V AA. In cold environments, lithium batteries are recommended. Ensure correct polarity of the batteries [ “+” and “-” ]. The display will light up. The sensor will display the temperature and humidity within 3 seconds. The outdoor unit transmits information to the indoor unit at regular intervals. This can be seen by the red signal light on the front of the unit lighting up briefly.

IMPORTANT:
Select the same channel for both the weather station and the wireless remote sensor.
Only then can the weather station connect with the remote sensor. A connection will be established with the outdoor unit within 3 minutes. During this link, a blinking RF symbol is visible . If the pairing was successful, the temperature and humidity will appear on the indoor unit display.

For specific logon functions of the weather station and the wireless remote sensor see chapter 2.5 “Pairing weather station and wireless remote sensor”.
