Page 1 1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the WiFi Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting. 2. Getting Started TheWiFi Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer consists of an indoor display console (receiver + WiFi transmitter) and an indoor / outdoor thermo-hygrometer. 2.1 Parts List QTY 1 Item Display Console Dimensions (LxHxW): 67.5 x 90 x 26.8 mm (2.65 x 3.54 x 1.06) Thermo-hygrometer transmitter (WH31) Dimensions (LxHxW): 122 x 40 x 18 mm (4.80 x 1.57 x 0.71) 5V DC Adaptor User manual 1 1 1 2.2 Indoor / Outdoor ThermoHygrometer Setup Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries. We recommend fresh alkaline batteries for outdoor temperature ranges between -20 C and 60 C and fresh lithium batteries for outdoor temperature ranges between -40 C and 60 C. Copyright 2018. Page 2 1. Remove the battery door on the back of the transmitter(s) by sliding down the battery door, as shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 2. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the transmitter. 3. Channel Number: This device supports up to eight transmitters, and includes three transmitters. To set each channel number (the default is Channel 1), change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in Figure 2. 4. Temperature Units of Measure: To change the transmitter display units of measure (F vs. C), change Dip Switch 4, as referenced in Figure 2. Switch in down position. Switch in up position. Copyright 2018. Page 3 Figure 2 Insert two AA batteries. 5. 6. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and temperature units of measure (F vs. C) are on the display, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3

(2) temperature units (F vs. C)
(3) channel number
(4) relative humidity 7. Close the battery door. 8. Repeat for the additional remote transmitters, verifying each remote is on a different channel. 2.3 Sensor Placement It is recommended you mount the remote sensor outside on a north facing wall, in a shaded area, at a height at or above the receiver. If a north facing wall is not possible, choose a shaded area, under an eve. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as an eve. Copyright 2018. Page 4 1. Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 4. 2. Hang the remote sensor up on string or zip tie, as shown in Figure 5. Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will insure optimum reception. Wireless signals are impacted by distance, interference (other weather stations, wireless phones, wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers, such as walls. In general, wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for example). Figure 4 Figure 5 2.4 Best Practices for Wireless Communication Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. 1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. 2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 915 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication. 3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls. 4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of sight. Copyright 2018. Page 5 The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each wall or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

Hosting Service Website Weather Undergound https://www.wunderground.com Copyright 2018. Page 13 Description Weather Underground is a free weather hosting service that allows you to send and view your weather station data real-time, view graphs and gauges, import text data for more detailed analysis and use iPhone, iPad and Android applications available at Wunderground.com. Weather Underground is a subsidiary of The Weather Channel and IBM. WOW http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/
Weather Cloud https://weathercloud.net UK based weather observation WOW is a website. Weatherc loud is a real-time weather social network formed by observers from around the world. T he WS-0265 weather station sends data to the Internet using your WiFi connection. 4.1 Connecting the Weather Station Console to WiFi To send weather data to these services you must connect your console to the internet via Wi-Fi. The console can only operate using Wi-Fi when the external power adapter is connected and plugged in!
Note: If you are testing the setup with the outdoor sensor package nearby and indoor, you may want to consider connecting to Wi-Fi, but not yet configuring any of the weather services. The reason is that while indoor the temperatures and humidity recorded by the outdoor sensor, and as reported to the weather service(s) will reflect indoor conditions, and not outdoor conditions. Therefore, they will be incorrect. Furthermore, the rainfall bucket may be tripped during handling, causing rain to register while it may not actually have been raining. One way to prevent this is to follow all instructions, except to use an incorrect password, on purpose! Then, after final outdoor installation, come back and change the password after clearing console history. That will start uploading to the services with a clean slate. 4.1.1 Download mobile application evice, either iOS or Android. Start by Wi-Fi configuration is done using your mobile d downloading the WS View application from the Apple App Store or Google Play store, as appropriate for your device. 4.1.2 Put console in WiFi setup mode Plug in the external power adapter and connect to the console if you have not already done so. Next, press and hold the GRAPH and MENU buttons simultaneously for five seconds. The Wi-Fi icon (
) in the top-right of the display will start flashing to indicate the console is waiting for Wi-Fi configuration. The console will now have activated a Wi-Fi network named starting with EasyWeather Wi-Fi and you will connect to it with your mobile device. 4.1.3 Connect mobile device to EasyWeather WiFi Using your phones Wi-Fi setup capabilities (WLAN setup for An droid, Wi-Fi for iOS devices), connect your phone to the EasyWeather network now advertised by the console. For Android users:

Glossary of Terms Term Accuracy Dew Point Heat Index Definition Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured. The dew point is the temperature at which a given parcel of humid air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation temperature. The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. Relative humidity of 100% indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and the air is maximally saturated with water. When the dew point remains constant and temperature increases, relative humidity will decrease. The Heat Index, sometimes referred to as the apparent temperature, is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored with the actual air temperature. To find the Heat Index temperature, look at the Heat Index chart below. As an example, if the air temperature is 96F and the relative humidity is 65%, the heat index (how hot it feels) is 121F. IMPORTANT: Since heat index values were devised for shady, light wind conditions, exposure to full sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15F. Also, strong winds, particularly with very hot, dry air, can be extremely hazardous. The Heat Index Chart shaded zone above 105F shows a level that may cause increasingly severe heat disorders with continued exposure or physical activity. Heat Index is not calculated below 80F. Copyright 2018. Page 29 Term Definition Hygrometer Range Resolution Thermometer A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount or percentage of water vapor that exists in air. Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured. Resolution is defined as the number of significant digits (decimal places) to which a value is being reliably measured. A thermometer is a device that measures temperature. Most digital thermometers are resistive thermal devices (RTD). RTDs measure changes in temperature as a function of electrical resistance. Figure 38 6.

Figure 39 6.3 Power Requirements Base station : 5V DC Adaptor (included) Base station: 2 x AAA batteries (not included) Outdoor sensor array: 2xAA batteries (not included) About 12-24 months for thermometer-hygrometer sensor (use lithium batteries in cold weather climates) 7. Troubleshooting Guide Problem Wireless remote
(thermo-hygrometer) not reporting in to console. There are dashes (--.-) on the display console. Temperature sensor reads too high in the day time. Solution If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, reference Section 3.6. The maximum line of sight communication range is 300 feet and 100 feet under most conditions. Move the sensor closer to the display console. If the sensor is too close (less than 5), move the sensor away from the display console. Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working on both the console and the remote sensor. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries. Make sure the remote sensor is not transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill). Move the display console around electrical noise generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers. Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the remote sensor to a closer location. Make certain that the sensor array is not too close to heat generating sources or strictures, such as buildings, pavement, walls or air conditioning units. Copyright 2018. Page 31 Problem Data not reporting to Wunderground.com No WiFi connection Solution 1. Confirm your password or key is correct. It is the password you registered on Wunderground.com. Your Wunderground.com password cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character (a limitation of Wundeground.com, not the station). Example, $oewkrf is not a valid password, but oewkrf$ is valid. 2. Confirm your station ID is correct. The station ID is all caps, and the most common issue is substituting an O for a 0 (or visa versa). Example, KAZPHOEN11, not KAZPH0EN11 3. Make sure the date and time is correct on the console. If incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not real time data. 4. Make sure your time zone is set properly. If incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not real time data. 5. Check your router firewall settings. The console sends data via Port 80. 1. Check for WiFi symbol on the display. If wireless connectivity is will be displayed in the time field. successful the WiFi icon 2. Make sure your modem WiFi settings are correct (network name, and password). 3. Make sure the console is plugged into AC power. The console will not connect to WiFi when powered by batteries only. 4. The console only supports and connects to 2.4 GHz routers. If you own a 5 GHz router, and it is a dual band router, you will need to make sure the 2.4 GHz band is turned on. 5. The console does not support guest networks. 8.
