2. PRE INSTALLATION 2.1 CHECKOUT Before permanently install your weather
station, we recommend the user to operate the weather station at a location
which is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the
weather station functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper
operation before installing it permanently.
2.2 SITE SELECTION Before installing the sensor array, please consider the
followings; 1. Rain gauge must be clean every few months 2. Avoid radiant heat
reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1.5m (5′) from any building, structure, ground or
roof top. 3. Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any
obstruction of rain, wind, and
sunlight. 4. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could
reach a distance of
150m (or 450 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering
obstacles in between or nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line.
Check the reception signal quality to ensure good reception. 5. Household
appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices
operating in the same frequency range may cause signal intermittent. Choose a
location at least 1-2 meter (3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to
ensure best reception.

3.3 RECOMMENDATION FOR BEST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Effective wireless communication is susceptible to noise interference in the
environment, and distance and barriers between the sensor transmitter and the
display console.
1. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) these may be generated by machinery,
appliances, lighting, dimmers and computers, etc. So please keep your display
console 1 or 2 meters away from these items.
2. Radio-frequency interference (RFI) if you have other devices operating
on 868 MHz, you might experience communication intermittent. Please re-located
your transmitter or display console to avoid signal intermittent problem.
3. Distance. Path loss occurs naturally with distance. This device is rated
to 150m (450 feet) by line of sight (in interference free environment and
without barriers). However, typically you will get 30m (100 feet) maximum in
real life installation, which includes passing through barriers.
4. Barriers. Radio signal are blocked by metal barriers such as aluminum
cladding. Please align the sensor array and display console to get them in
clear line of sight through window if you have metal cladding.

55°C (130°F)
Extreme Danger Strong risk of dehydration / sun stroke
4.3.4.3 WIND CHILL
A combination of the wireless 7-IN-1 sensor’s temperature and wind speed data
determines the current wind chill factor. Wind chill number are always lower
than the air temperature for wind values where the formula applied is valid
(i.e. due to limitation of formula, actual air temperature higher than 10°C
with wind speed below 9 km/h may result in erroneous wind chill reading).
4.3.4.4 DEW POINT
– The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at
constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at
which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a
solid surface.
– The dew point temperature is determined by the temperature & humidity data
from wireless 7-IN-1 sensor.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any location of the earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Because absolute atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, meteorologist correct the pressure relative to sea-level conditions. Hence, your ABS pressure may read 1000 hPa at altitude of 300m, but the REL pressure is 1013 hPa.
To obtain accurate REL pressure for your area, consult your local official
observatory or check weather website on Internet for real time barometer
conditions, and then adjust the relative
pressure in SETUP (section 6.4.1) 62
