All constantly powered nodes in the same network will act as repeaters regardless of the vendor in order to increase reliability of the network. Remote Weather Sensors The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer, anemometer (wind sensor) and rain sensor. All data collected by the sensors are transmitted to the Weather Station Key by wireless RF, with a range up to 100 meters
(open area). The Weather station Key supports a maximum of 2 thermo-hygrometers, allowing 2 channels of temperature/humidity display (Ch1 and Ch2). Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors Before starting up the Weather Station Key, setup all the remote sensors first. When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally, they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your weather station. Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance. The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor accuracy. Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s) 1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor. 2. Set the channel with a slide switch to Ch1 or Ch2
(Channel has to be selected before inserting a batterys) 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5 V batteries. 4. Use a pin to press the RESET key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro sensors after LED flash. 5. Replace the latch and mount the unit at desired location. Placement Tips:
in a location such the rain sensor
- The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under a roof.
- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.
- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, patios and decks.
- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.
- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above ground level. Setting up the Rain Sensor 1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain sensor in an anti-clockwise direction. 2. Lift the top off the base and insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5 V batteries into the battery holder. 3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise. 4. Place that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally 2-3 ft above the ground. It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided. 5. The sensor must be accurately levelled for optimum performance. To check if the sensor is levelled, remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the leveller. Additionally, a bubble level or carpenters level may be used. 6. Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid. The screen will prevent any debris entering the sensor. Placement Tips:
- The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls, fences, trees and other coverings which may either reduce the amount of rainfall into the sensor, deflect the entry of wind - blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may also be sources of pollen and debris.
- To avoid rain shadow effects, place the sensor at a horizontal distance corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
- It is important that rain excess can flow freely away from the sensor. Make sure that water does not collect at the base of the unit.
- The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet;
hence do not place any magnetic objects around the proximity of the sensor. Setting up the Anemometer (Wind Sensor) 1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm 2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base. 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5 V batteries into the battery holder in the base and connect the second battery to the solar panel connector. 4. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided. Placement Tips:
- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby buildings, trees or other structures.
- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3 m above local structures and obstacles. The ground creates a frictional effect to wind flow and will attenuate readings.
- Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your area.
- The official mounting location for anemometers is 10m
(33 ft) above ground level in a clear unobstructed location. Maintenance Changing Batteries The battery statuses of the sensors are checked every hour. If the low battery indicators light up, replace the batteries for the corresponding unit immediately. Changing Batteries for the Remote Sensors 1. Replace the batteries following the setup instructions for the corresponding sensor. 2. When the batteries are properly installed, the sensor will resume sending signals to the main console unit. Cleaning The Weather Station Key and outer casings for the remote sensors can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Small parts can be cleaned with a cotton tip or pipe-cleaner. Never use any abrasive cleaning agents and solvents. Do not immerse any units with electronic parts in water or under running water. Anemometer
- Check that the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris or spider webs. Rain Sensor Like all rain gauges, the rain sensor is prone to blockages due to its funnel shape. Checking and cleaning the rain sensor from time to time will maintain the accuracy of rain measurements.
- Detach the protective screen and lid. Remove any dirt, leaves or debris by cleaning the items with soapy water and a damp cloth. Clean small holes and parts with a cotton tips or pipe-cleaner.
- Look out for spiders or insects that might have crawled into the funnel.
- Also clean the swinging mechanism with a damp cloth. Troubleshooting The Weather Station Key will not receive any data when the wireless link with the Sensor is lost. Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. If the above does not solve the problem, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding sensor to the main console unit and change their locations if necessary. Although wireless signals can pass through solid objects and walls, the sensor should ideally be within the line of sight of the console unit. The problems:
- Distance between remote sensor and Weather Station Key is too long. (Maximum transmission distance in open area conditions is up to 100 m.)
- Signal shielding materials such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation the path of transmission.
- Interferences from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening devices) and electronic appliances. The weather readings do not correlate with measurements from TV, radio or official weather reports Weather data can vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement of weather sensors. Check the placement tips included in this manual to site your sensors in the best possible way. PRECAUTIONS This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service few precautions:
