Before commissioning

NOTICE

Avoid connection faults!
In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3. Establish a power supply for the sensor.
4.  Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries in both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio connection can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection for this device must also be disconnected briefly when changing the battery. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are replaced, the signal cannot be received or can no longer be received correctly.
Note that the actual range depends on the building materials used in the building and the position of the base unit and outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Sometimes a shift of just a few centimetres is enough!

The first steps

Follow the bullet points in order, to ensure a successful setup.

1. Setting up power supply (base station and wireless sensor)
2. Mount the wireless sensor
3. The base station is now in AP mode (LED flashes green) and ready for initial setup.
4. Create an account with a weather service provider compatible with your station, e.g. wunderground.com or weathercloud.net and add the station to your account (“My Profile” / “Add Weather station”) or (“Devices” / “+ New”). Make a note of the station ID and password, as they will be needed in the next step. Write down the Station  D and Password, because they are needed in the next step.
5. Setting up the base station (Establish WIFI / Router connection)
6. Viewing weather data via the web, mobile, or tablet

Establish power supply

Base unit

1. Insert the DC plug into the connection socket on the base unit.
2. Insert the Euro plug into the mains power socket.
3. The device is powered on directly.

Installing the backup battery:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery terminals are correctly aligned (+/-).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
   Wireless sensor

4. Remove the screw on the battery compartment cover with a suitable Phillips screwdriver and re- move the battery compartment cover.

5. Insert 2 x AA-size batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery terminals are correctly aligned (+/-).

6. Replace and screw on the battery compartment cover.

Attaching rubber linings

Attach the supplied self-adhesive rubber pads to the clamps as shown to ensure a firmer fitting of the mounting rod.

Mounting and attaching the multi-function radio sensor

Depending on the desired location, the wireless sensor can be mounted in different ways.
NOTICE! During installation, always ensure that the upper part of the wind vane is at least 1.5 meters above the ground. Ensure an absolutely horizontal position when using the circular level in the sensor head. The wind turbine must always point north.

Assembly on a vertical or horizontal wooden element

1. Slide one end of the assembly bar into the aperture below the sensor head.
2. Push a bolt through the hole and put the nut on the other side. Tighten the screw connection hand tight.
3. Depending on the desired orientation, slide the opposite end of the assembly bar into the aperture for vertical or horizontal mounting of the assembly base.
4. Slide another screw through the borehole of the assembly base and put it on the nut on the opposite side. Tighten the screw connection by hand. Tighten the screw connection hand-tight.
   Place the assembly base with its bottom site first on a wooden element. Use 4 wood screws to tighten it.

Assembly on a vertical or horizontal tube
Repeat steps 1 to 4 as before.

• Place the assembly base with its bottom site first on the tube. Push the tube bracket against the tube from the opposite side.
• Slide 4 screws through the boreholes of the assembly base and through the boreholes of the tube bracket on the other side.
• Put on the 4 nuts and tighten the screw connection by hand.

Signal transmission

The base station automatically connects to the multi outdoor sensor and (if available) to other wireless sensors. You can also press the WIFI / SENSOR button to search directly for the sensors. If the connection is successful, the outdoor symbol (OUT) and/or the channel will appear on the display.

   2. 3. If it still does not work, reset the sensor and resynchronize it with the base station.
   The wireless indoor sensor is temporarily interrupted or disconnected| 1. 1. Make sure that the sensor is within the transmission range.
   2. 2. Make sure that the displayed channel matches the channel selection on the sensor
   3. 3. If it still does not work, reset the sensor and resynchronize it with the base station.
   No WIFI connection| 1. Check whether the WIFI symbol is shown on the display. It should always be displayed.
   2. 2. Make sure that you connect to your WIFI router using the 2.4G band and not the 5G band.
   Data is not sent to wunderground.com or weathercloud.net.| 1. 1. Make sure that your Station ID and Station Key are correct.
   2. Make sure that the date and time on the tablet are correct. If they are incorrect, you may be reporting old data rather than real-time data.
   3. Make sure that your time zone is set correctly. If it is set incorrectly, you may report old data rather than real-time data.
   Wunderground Precip. Accum. Total graph offset 1 hour reset time (during summertime)| 1. 1. Make sure that the device’s time zone is correctly set to Wunderground.
   2. 2. Make sure that the time zone and daylight saving time on your base station are correct.
   3. If you have located your station outside the U.S. time zone region in Wunderground, daylight saving time is invalid. To solve this problem, please disable the DST function in the base station.
   Rainfall is not correct| 1. 1. Please keep the rain collector clean
   2. 2. Make sure that the tipping bucket inside can function smoothly.
   Temperature reading too high during the day| 1. 1,5. Place the sensor in an open area and at least 1.5 m above the ground.
   2. 2. Make sure that the sensor location is not too close to heat-generating sources or obstacles such as buildings, pavement, walls, or air conditioning
   units.
