1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Solar Powered Wireless WiFi
Weather Station. The following user guide provides step by step
instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting.
2
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including
your weather station mounting pole. Never install the weather station
in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may
result in injury or death. Perform as much of the initial check out and
operation on the ground and inside a building or home. Only install the
weather station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information
contained may be intuitive. In addition, the manual does not flow
properly because the sections are organized by components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to
install, operate the weather station, and upload to the internet, along
with references to the pertinent sections.

4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout
Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we
recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary
location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the
functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather
station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the
wireless range of the weather station.
4.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the
following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change
the rechargeable batteries every 2-3 years. Provide easy
access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In
general, install the sensor array at least 5’ from any building,
structure, ground, or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install
the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of
the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’ tall, and
the mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
4
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver
and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to
100meter, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as
buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals
will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the
maximum wireless range is 100’.
5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the
worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take
this into consideration when choosing console or mounting
locations. Make sure your display console is at least five feet
away from any electronic device to avoid interference.

Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but
alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not
recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not
operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long,
resulting in poorer reception.

5.2.5.2 Mounting
You can attach a pipe to a permanent structure and then attach the
Figure 9). The U-Bolts will accommodate a
Finally, place the sensor package on top of the prepared mounting pipe.
The U-Bolts should be loose enough to allow this but loosen the nuts as
necessary. Once placed, hand tightens all four nuts, taking care to do
so evenly.
Now you will need to align the whole package in the proper direction by
rotating it on top of the mounting pipe as needed.
Locate the arrow
labeled “North” that you will find on top of the sensor package right
next to the light sensor. You must rotate the whole sensor package
until this arrow points due north. To achieve proper alignment, it is
helpful to use a compass (many cell phones have a compass
application). Once rotated in the correct orientation, lightly tighten the
bolts a little more (use a wrench) to prevent further rotation.
Note: Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure sensor

solar radiation sensors will not measure properly.
