Caution! Please remember that mains voltage in most European countries is 220–240V. If you want to use your device in a country with a different mains voltage standard, remember that use of a converter is absolutely necessary.

Getting started

Pre-installation checkout
Before permanent installation, it is recommended to use the weather station for a week in easily accessible temporary location. This will allow you to test its performance, to become familiar with its functions and controls, and to determine its wireless range.

Site survey
Perform a survey of the site before installation. Consider the following:

• Maintenance access. Regularly clean the rain gauge and swap batteries every 2–3 years. Ensure easy access to the weather station.
• Radiant heat from buildings and structures. Install the multisensor at least 1.5m from any buildings, structures, ground, or rooftops.
• Rain and wind obstructions. For precise measurements of wind and rain, install the multisensor at a height at least 4 times that of the nearest obstacle. For example, if the building is 6m tall, the sensors should be installed at a height of at least 30m from the ground.
• Wireless range. The optimal distance between the receiver and the transmitter is up to 100m in an open space. With obstacles in the way (buildings, trees, etc.), the maximum distance is 30m.
• Radio interference from computers, radios, or TVs. Install the display console at least 1.5m away from electronic devices to minimize interference.

Sensor setup

Installing U-bolts and the mounting pole
Install the included metal plates to secure the U-bolts (12) to the mounting pole. The metal plate (12) is inserted into the groove on the bottom of the device (opposite side from the solar panel (7)). One side of the plate has a straight edge (inserted into the groove), the other side is bent at a 90-degree angle and has a curved profile that wraps around the mounting pole.
After inserting the metal plate, remove the nuts from the U-bolts and insert both bolts into the corresponding holes in the plate.
Screw the nuts onto the ends of the U-bolts. Make sure to tighten them completely during final mounting.

Wind vane installation

Slide the wind vane (1) onto the shaft on top of the sensor until it stops. Tighten the fastening screw with a screwdriver (size PH0) until the wind vane is securely fastened to the axle.

Make sure the wind vane spins freely. The slight friction in the movement helps to precisely measure wind direction. The vane has letters around it: N (North), E (East), S (South) and W (West). The wind vane (1) should be set up so that the directions on the sensor correspond to your actual location. A permanent error in wind direction readings is possible if the sensor is not set up properly.

Wind speed sensor installation

Place the wind speed sensor (2) onto the shaft. Tighten the fastening screw. Make sure the wind speed sensor spins freely.

Rain gauge installation
Install the rain gauge (5) and position the indicator along the straight line.

Batteries installation
Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment (9). The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter blinks every 16 seconds (sensor data transmission refresh period).

ATTENTION! If the LED does not light up or stays on, make sure the batteries are inserted properly and the device is reset correctly. Incorrect installation of batteries may cause permanent damage to the outdoor sensor.

ATTENTION! In cold climates, we recommend using 1.5V lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries are suitable for most climates. We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries due to their low voltage, instability in a wide temperature range, and short service life, which leads to poor signal reception.

Mounting the assembled multisensor
Attach the multisensor to the prepared 2.5–5.0cm diameter pipe using U-bolts. Align the multisensor in the North direction by rotating it on the mounting pipe. The NORTH arrow, located on the top of the multisensor next to the solar panel (7), should point due north. Use a compass for fine adjustments. Once correctly oriented, tighten the bolts.

ATTENTION! Use the bubble level (6) next to the rain gauge (5) to ensure the multisensor is level.

Reset button and transmitter LED
If the multisensor is not transmitting data, perform a reset. Press and hold RESET for 3 seconds. Remove the batteries and wait 1 minute with the solar panel closed. Insert the batteries and re-sync with the console by turning the console off and on. Stay about 3m away from the multisensor

Recommendations for improving wireless connectivity

To avoid radio frequency interference, we recommend that you adhere to the following conditions.

• Place the console several meters away from computer monitors and TVs.
• If you have devices on the 433MHz frequency and are experiencing intermittent connectivity, please unplug them to troubleshoot.
• The maximum range of the device is 100m without, and 30m with obstacles.
• The radio signal does not pass through metal. With metal siding, place the sensor and console so that there is a window between them.

Table of materials and their effect on radio signal transmission loss

Display console

Connect the DC adapter (5V) to the port on the back of the console.
Insert 3 AAA batteries into the display console (for backup power). The backlight will work for 5 seconds if only the backup power is used. Constant backlight is only available when using the adapter. If your console is powered by batteries only, press LIGHT/SNOOZE to turn on the LCD backlight before using other buttons.

To establish a connection with the multisensor, move the console to a distance of 1.5 to 3m and wait a few minutes for synchronization.
Once synchronized, simulate wind and rain by rotating the wind sensor cups and dripping water into the rain gauge. After 15 minutes, install the multisensor and console in their permanent locations. Follow the recommendations for installing the multisensor and improving wireless communication.
The console should show data for all sections. Wind and rain readings will be zero until the sensors start receiving data

Vertical stand

The console includes a vertical stand. The console display is best viewed at a 20–30° angle.

Initial display console setup

Connect the AC adapter to power up the display console.
The device will display the software version number for 2 seconds.

The console will then turn on all LCD segments for 3 seconds and begin recording the external channel for 3 minutes.
