SETTING UP THE WIRELESS 7-IN-1 OUTDOOR SENSOR
The wireless 7-in-1 outdoor sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV, light intensity, temperature, and humidity.

Installing the Mounting Pole and Bracket
Secure the sensor onto a mounting pole and bracket (included) using the screws (included).

Installing Wind Speed Cups and Wind Direction Vane

• Align the screw holes in the wind speed cups with the flat, vertical side of the metal rod.
  Insert the wind speed cups in the metal rod and screw on tight to lock it in place.

• Align the screw holes in the wind-direction vane with the flat, vertical side of the metal rod.

• Insert the wind direction vane in the metal rod and screw on tight to lock it in place.

Setting Up Rain Collector

• Align the notches on the funnel with the lock grooves inside the rain collector.
• Insert the funnel in the rain collector and screw on tight to lock it in place.

Installing the Batteries

• Slide the switch to unlock the battery compartment at the bottom of the solar panel.
• Insert three AA batteries (not included) according to the +/- polarity labeled in the compartment.
• Lock the battery compartment back onto the compartment.

Mounting the Wireless 7-in-1 Outdoor Sensor

• Select an unobstructed location for the 7-in-1 outdoor sensor to ensure optimal performance.
• Secure the mounting brackets to a surface or wall using the four included tapping screws, or affix the mounting pole to a pre-existing mounting pole using ϕ5 Bolts and M5 Nuts assembly.
• Attach rubber pads to the mounting bracket prior to fastening it onto the sensor, for added stability and protection.
• Before tightening the screws, ensure that the rain collector is oriented towards the north and the solar panel faces south for maximum efficiency.
• It is crucial to firmly secure the sensor to prevent movement during windy conditions, as this may result in inaccurate rainfall data due to transmitter vibrations.
  

Adjusting the 7-in-1 Wireless Sensor Level

• Utilize the bubble level indicator to ensure that the wireless outdoor sensor is perfectly level. An unlevel sensor may result in inaccurate readings for the gain gauge, UV, and light intensity measurements.
• To adjust the level of the wireless outdoor sensor, loosen the screws on the mounting pole. Carefully reposition the sensor so that the bubble is centered within the bubble level indicator
• Once the sensor is properly leveled, securely tighten the screws on the mounting pole to maintain its position.

Weather Index

In normal mode, press TEMP/ALARM to switch different weather indexes in the following order:
Feels Like Heat Index Wind Chill Dew point Outdoor temperature

Feels Like
The “Feels Like” temperature index represents the perceived outdoor temperature, taking into account contributing factors such as wind chill and heat index.

Wind Chill
Wind Chill is determined by a combination of the wireless weather sensor’s temperature and wind.
NOTE: Only when the temperature is below 50°F(10°C) and the wind speed is over 4.8km/h (3mph), will display the wind chill value, otherwise it will display “–.-“.

Heat Index
The Heat Index is determined by the wireless weather sensor’s temperature and humidity readings.

Dew Point

•  The Dew Point refers to the specific temperature at which water vapor present in the air, under constant barometric pressure, transitions into a liquid state at an equal rate of evaporation. This process results in the formation of dew on solid surfaces.
• The Dew Point temperature is determined from the temperature and humidity data collected from the wireless weather sensor.

Rain

In normal mode, press RAIN to switch among

• Rain Rate (in/hr) Hour Rain Daily rain
• Week rain Month rain Total rain  Event
• In normal mode, press and hold RAIN 2s.
• Resetting the weekly rain also resets the daily rain
• Resetting the monthly rain also resets the daily and weekly rain.
• Resetting the total rain also resets the monthly, weekly and daily rain.

Pressure
In normal mode, press BARO/-/WIFI to review absolute and relative pressure.

Max/Min

• In normal mode, press MAX/MIN switching between maximum and minimum value.
• To clear the max value, press and hold MAX/MIN 2s while max values are displayed.
• To clear the min value, press and hold MAX/MIN 2s while min values are displayed.
• If no key is pressed for 10 seconds, it will auto switch to normal mode

Indoor Comfort Index

The indoor comfort displays a pictural representation based on the indoor air temperature and humidity levels to determine the approximate comfort level.

Weather Forecast

• The built-in barometer notices atmospheric pressure changes, and can predict the weather conditions in the forthcoming 12-24 hours, based on all the data it has collected.
• There are 6 weather icons – Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy and Snowy.

Freezing Alert

When temperature received by outdoor sensor is lower than 1°C/33.8°F (excluding 1°C/33.8°F), the freezing symbol is displayed.

Tendency Arrow

Tendency arrows allow you to quickly determine if the temperature, humidity has been rising or falling in the last one-hour update period (TBD). This is updated every hour.
