Setup Preparation

items you will need to set your station (not included):

Crosshead screwdriver and hex driver for assembly.
Fresh Batteries:
(two) AAA alkaline or lithium batteries for the weather station.
(three) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for the multi-combination sensor.
(two) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for the temperature | humidity sensor (Optional)

For best results:

Remove the weather station and sensors from the package and place them together on a table or bench, within easy reach.
Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of the setup location.
Keep sensors and weather station 0.15-0.3 meters or 5-10 feet for at least 15 minutes after installing batteries, to allow the sensors and station to connect repeatedly.

Quick Setup

Insert 3 AA batteries into the multi-combination wireless remote sensor
3-AA battery entry temperature humidity wireless remote sensor
Then plug the power cord into the weather station
Configure basic settings. Set time, date, unit, etc.
Insert 2 AAA batteries into the weather station (when the power adapter is unexpectedly powered off, the settings will not be lost)
Move the remote sensor to an outdoor or other location after 5 minutes
Move the weather station to the appropriate location, with a minimum distance of 2.5 meters from all sources of interference, such as a television or computer monitor, radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g……in cellars) and in offices. In such extreme circumstances, place the weather station close to the window.
Note: The weather station has a radio control clock calibration time function. After power-on, after searching the wireless sensor for 3 minutes or all channels successfully search for the wireless sensor, the weather station will automatically enter the radio control clock timing mode. lf you need to set the time and unit manually, you need to press and hold the ” ” button to exit the radio time mode, and then continue to the next step.

Radio control clock (Abbreviation: RCC) timing

After the weather station searches for the wireless sensor after power-on, (up to 3 minutes) will automatically enter the RCC timing mode.
The weather station will automatically search for the RCC signal for 7 minutes, the RCC signal icon will flash and the backlight will automatically turn off.
Note: Enter the RCC signal search mode. Since the RCC signal search requires the device to be in a static working state as much as possible, the backlight is automatically turned off to prevent signal interference.
Please try not to control the weather station within seven minutes. lf you need to exit the search mode of the RCC signal, press and hold the ” ” button for 3 seconds to exit.
The weather station will automatically perform an RCC signal search at 1:00 / 2:00 / 3:00 every day to correct any deviation from the precise time.
lf this sync attempt is unsuccessful (the radio mast icon disappears from the display) the system will automatically try another sync for the next full hour. This process is automatically repeated up to 5 times a day.
lf you need to manually search for RCC signals, press and hold the “ ” button for 3 seconds to enter the search mode. Again, the longest search is 7 minutes.
Note: The flashing radio mast icon indicates that the RCC signal search is in progress. Continuous display of the continuously displaced radio mast icon indicates that the successful RCC signal filming is completed and the calibration time is successful. The icon “DST” indicates that the calibration time is the daylight saving time.

Weather forecast

The weather station calculates a weather forecast for about the next 12 hours based on the barometric pressure trend. Of course, this forecast can’t compare to that of professional weather services supported by satellites and high-performance computers, lt provides only an approximate indication of the current weather development in a small local area. Please take the weather forecast from your local weather forecasting service into account as well as the forecast from your weather station. lf there are discrepancies between the information from your device and from the local weather forecasting service, please take the advice of the latter as authoritative.

The weather station displays the following weather icon:

Note: The Snowy icon will only appear if the outdoor temperature (refers to the temperature detected by multiple combined sensors) is below -4°C (+25°F) and the forecast would be rainy or Thunder Rainy.
The Gale icon will only appear if the wind speed is above 50KM/H and the forecast would be Sunny or Mostly Cloudy or Cloudy.
The storm icon will only appear if the wind speed is above 50 km/H and the forecast would be rainy or thundery rain.
The Snowstorm icon will only appear if the outdoor temperature (refers to the temperature detected by multiple combined sensors) is below -4°C (+25°F) the wind speed is above 50KM/H and the forecast would be rainy or Thunder Rainy.
After the weather station needs 7-10 days of air pressure calibration, the weather forecast will tend to be stable within an accuracy rate of 70%-75%.
The weather station can display the barometric pressure trend.
You may see the following displays.
The barometric pressure will rise
The barometric pressure will remain constant.
The barometric pressure will fall.

Background lighting

If the product is powered by batteries, Touch the ” ” location button. The backlight lit for 15 seconds.
When the power supply of the product is inserted into the power supply adapter, the battery will automatically disconnect the power supply. and the backlight will always be bright. Press the ” ” button to adiust the brightness of the backlight, you can adjust the 4 state: 3 different brightness backlight and close the backlight. When the backlight brightness is not at the maximum brightness. press the “ ” button. Backlight tums to maximum brightness of 10 seconds.
Note: During the reception of the time radio wave signal, the backlight will be automatically closed to prevent the interference of the radio wave.

Low battery:

If the “indoor sensor” column displays the battery icon ” “, you need to replace the weather station’s battery as soon as possible.

Mounting Instructions (wireless sensor)

Multi-combination Wireless Remote Sensor

Mount in an open area clear for 15 meters (50 feet) in all directions.
The sensor needs to be mounted on a sturdy platform or bracket that is mounted 1.5 m (5 ft) above the ground. The base of the sensor is screwed to the platform and the support frame. Tighten the large nut that secures the support rod to the base.
When installing, adjust the sensor body so that the solar panel faces south, otherwise, the wind direction will be wrong. Note the “N” North Embossed Mark on the top of the sensor (requires a compass for proofreading, and the “N” North Emboss mark is identical to the “N” of the compass).
When installing the sensor, use the top bubble level to ensure the sensor level, otherwise, the accuracy of the rainfall reading will be affected。
After completing the above two steps, lock the two hexagon socket screws on the side of the sensor body.
When installing, the fixing screws of the wind cup and the wind direction cursor should be tightened and tightened.
The rainforest structure of the sensor needs to be cleaned regularly (recommended cycle 1-3 months, depending on the frequency of rain):

Remove the rainwater funnel (turn the rain sand funnel according to the direction of rotation shown).
Gently remove debris or insects from the rain sensor.
Remove debris from the rainwater funnel itself, especially debris from the funnel drain.
Remove the debris from the drain.
Reinstall the rainwater bucket.
Note: Do not apply oil to the rain sensor.

Note: Make sure the wireless sensor is installed within 100 meters of the weather station (empty, unobstructed). According to the thickness of the obstacle between the wireless sensor and the weather station, the distance should be shortened as much as possible
(the distance after the wireless signal penetrates the obstacle will be shortened), otherwise, the data transmission may be disturbed. RADDY-VP7

Temperature Humidity Wireless Remote Sensor (Optional sensor)

Option 1:

Mount the mounting screws to the wall.
Hang the wireless sensor on the screw

Option 2:

Insert the mounting screws through the front of the wireless sensor into the wall.
Tighten the screws to fit snugly (do not overtighten).
If the wireless sensor is placed outdoors, install the temperature | and humidity wireless sensor on a north-facing wall or any shadow. The sun will make it even higher.
The guardrail under the eaves or under the deck is preferred.
Make sure the wireless sensor is installed vertically to vent moisture.
