Power the console last. Note: WiFi Settings reference 13 STEP. Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m away from the console and within 30m of the console. If the weather station is too close or two far away, it may not receive a proper signal. If you have more than one Thermo-hygrometer transmitter, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on different channels. Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 12. Insert four AAA (alkaline or lithium)) batteries in the back of the display console. The display will beep once and all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly. Note: The character contrast is best from a slightly elevated viewing angle. Figure 12 Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position. The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and time. The wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, rain, outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not Press any menu buttons until the outside transmitter report in, otherwise the outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated. When the outdoor transmitter data has been received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be performed. While in the search mode, the remote search icon If you have more than one thermo-hygrometer sensor (up to eight thermo-hygrometer sensors are supported), the display will automatically toggle between sensors until all sensors have reported in. will be constantly displayed. Note: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet. Figure 13 Note: If the power adapter is plugged in, AC ON will display in the time area for three seconds when powered up. Conversely, if the power adapter is not plugged in, AC OFF will be displayed. 4.4.3SensorOperationVerification The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array. 1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times. You should hear a clickingsound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each clickrepresents 0.01 inches of rainfall. 2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a constant speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0. 3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location

(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2C (4F) (the accuracy is 1C/2F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize 5.WeatherStationInstallation 5.1 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 5.2SiteSurvey Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two 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 6m tall, install 4 x 6m = 24m away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate. 4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 100 m, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Most applications will only reach 30m due to building obstructions, walls and interference. 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. 5.3BestPracticesforWirelessCommunication 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 433 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 100 m line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 30 m 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. The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each wallor obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

6. FinalInstallationofSensors Figure 14 1. Wind transmitter installation. Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction. There is a S indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 14. Align this S marker in the direction of South. Fasten the wind transmitter to mounting pole brackets with foot-mounting, two 3 bolts and M3 nuts , as shown in Figure 15. Tighten the mounting pole to your mounting pole (purchased separately) with the four5 Bolts and M5 Nuts assembly, or fix on the wall with four tapping screw, as shown in Figure 16. Figure 15 Figure 16 2. Rain Gauge Transmitter Installation. Remove the rain gauge funnel from the base prior to installation by rotating the counter clockwise until the tabs on the base and the funnel align, then pulling upwards. Fasten the rain gauge to the mounting pole, as shown in Figure 17 Tighten the rain gauge to your mounting pole or bracket with two U-bolts and four M5 nuts , or fix on a horizontal surface with the four tapping screws, as shown in Figure 18 Reattach the funnel by aligning the tabs on the funnel and base, and rotate clockwise. Put the filter net into the top hole to clear the debris. Figure 17 3.Thermo-hygrometer Transmitter installation. It is recommended you mount the Thermo-hygrometer sensor outside in a shaded area. A north facing wall is preferred because it is in the shade most of the day. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 19. Figure 18 Figure 19 7LowBatteryIcon A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for thermo-hygrometer sensor. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together. 8ConsoleOperation Note: The console has five keys for easy operation: MIN/MAX /-(WIFI), SET, LIGHT/SNOOZE, ALARM and CHANNEL/+, key. 8.1QuickDisplayMode Note: To exit the Quick Display Mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console.

. 8.9AdjustmentorCalibration Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always displays the un-calibrated or measured value. Note: The measured humidity range is between 10 and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately measured outside of this range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source. Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different location and typically update once per hour. The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary significantly from location to location. The FT0213 supports up to eight remote sensors. Each of the eight sensors can be calibrated. 8.9.1TemperatureCalibration In normal mode, press and hold the SET and CHANNEL/+ keys at the same time for five seconds to enter the temperature calibration mode. The indoor temperature will begin flashing. Press the [+] or [-] key to increase or decrease the temperature reading (in increments of 0.1). Press and hold the

[+] or [-] key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Press the SET key switch to outdoor temperature channel (1through 8). To exit the calibration mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console. If no operation is performed, the calibration mode will timeout in 30 seconds. 8.9.2SettingCalibratedHumidity In normal mode, press and hold the SET and MIN/MAX/- keys at the same time for five seconds to enter the humidity calibration mode. The indoor humidity will begin flashing. Press the [+] or [-] key to increase or decrease the humidity reading (in increments of 1%). Press and hold the [+]

or [-] key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Press the SET key switch to outdoor humidity channel (1through 8). To exit the calibration mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console. If no operation is performed, the calibration mode will timeout in 30 seconds. Note: Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure accurately and drifts over time. The calibration feature allows you to zero out this error. To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit. 8.9.3SettingCalibratedwindspeed,RainfallandPressure In normal mode, press and hold the SET and ALARM keys at the same time for five seconds to enter the pressure and rainfall calibration mode. Press the SET key switch to rainfall and absolute pressure. To exit the calibration mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console. If no operation is performed, the calibration mode will timeout in 30 seconds. 1.0 Absolute Pressure Calibration. Press the SET key again to enter the pressure calibration mode. Press the

[+] or [-] key to increase or decrease the pressure reading (in increments of 0.1hPa) Note: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb). The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013.2hpa). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013.2hpa) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low pressure. To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station. 2.0 Rainfall Calibration (1 Hour, 24 Hour, Daily, Monthly, Total). Press the SET key again and the Rain Calibration value will begin flashing (the default is 1.0). Press the [+] or [-] button to adjust the rain calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25, where:

Calibrated Rain = Calibration factor x Measured Rain Discussion: The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips every 0.01 of rain (referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can be compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of at least 4. Note: that debris and insects can collect inside the tipping mechanism (they make a good spiders nest). Carefully remove the funnel and inspect the tipping mechanism for debris prior to calibration. 9AlarmMode The FT0213 includes time alarm, temperature alarm and humidity alarm features for indoor and Channel 1, feels like and dew point alarm for Channel 1, wind speed, wind gust, rainfall(1h and 24h) and pressure (ABS and REL) alarm. 9.1AlarmOperation When an alarm condition is exceeded, the alarm icon will flash

Term Accuracy Hygrometer Range Resolution Wind Vane Absolute Barometric Pressure Relative Barometric Pressure HectoPascals (hPa) Inches of Mercury (inHg) Definition Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured. 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 wind vane is a device that measures the direction of the wind. The wind vane is usually combined with the anemometer. Wind direction is the direction from which the wind is blowing. Relative barometric pressure, corrected to sea-level. To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Measured barometric pressure relative to your location or ambient conditions. Pressure units in SI (international system) units of measurement. Same as millibars (1 hPa = 1 mbar) Pressure in Imperial units of measure. 1 inch of mercury = 33.86 millibars 16.Specifications 16.1WirelessSpecifications Line of sight wireless transmission (in open air): 100m.

There are dashes (--.-) on the display console. Solution If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, choose the lost sensor and press SET button, and the remote search icon will be constantly displayed. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon will turn off, and the current values will be displayed. The maximum line of sight communication range is 100 m and 30 m under most conditions. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display console. If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move the sensor assembly away from the display console. Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries. Make sure the remote sensors are 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 Problem Temperature sensor reads too high in the day time. Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not agree Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree Display console contrast is weak Outdoor color does not change as expected. Rain gauge reports rain when it is not raining Wind speed appears low Console Time or date is not correct Cannot connect the console to WiFi Wunderground.com is not updating or weathercloud.net is not updating Solution remote sensor to a closer location. Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a shaded area. The pre preferred location is a north facing wall because it is in the shade most of the day. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 2 C (the sensor accuracy is 1 C). Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor temperature to a known source. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is 5 %). Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor humidity to a known source. Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries. Make sure the outdoor sensor is assigned to Channel 1. An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting pole) may result in the tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a stable mounting solution. Move the rain gauge from the pole mount to a flat, stable mount (fixed, flat structure). Average wind speed may have the appearance of low wind. Try switching the display to wind gust. Make sure your time zone and Daylight Savings Time are set properly. Console Time is off by increments of hours(DST). Check sure your time SYNC setting is on of console.
