It is recommended to plug in the power supply to reduce the battery consumption and extend the service life. Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the console will time out searching for the sensors. Power the console last. Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m away from the console and within 30m of the console.

(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 4.Weather Station Installation Pre Installation Check. 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.

For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore these(N, S, E, W) and face the solar panel to the North (and in a sunny position) when installing the Integrated outdoor transmitter. Step 1: Install the Integrated outdoor transmitter and face the solar panel North. Step 2: Console operation is set to Southern Hemispheres ( SOU in the time area) in Location division.

Figure 16 6.Low Battery Icon A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for Integrated outdoor transmitter. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), 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.
2.Rainfall. Press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- key to toggle between 1h, 24h, week, month and total. To clear the total rain, press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- button until total rain is displayed. The total rain will flash. Press and hold the SET button for three seconds until total rain reads 0.0.

Press the [+] key or [-] key to toggle the sunlight units Northern Hemisphere (NOR)or Southern Hemisphere(SOU).(refer to 5.0 Final Installation of Integrated outdoor transmitter) 7.3 Sensor Search Mode If Outdoor sensor loses communication, dashes (--.-) will be displayed.
Note: If plugged into AC power, the backlight will remain on. It is not recommended leaving the backlight on for a long period of time when operating on batteries only, or the batteries will run down quickly. 8.Alarm Mode The FT0835 includes the following alarms: Time(Alarm1 and Alarm2) Wind Gust Wind Average...
To adjust the alarm parameter, Touch the [+] or [-] key to increase or decrease the alarm settings, or Touch and hold the [+] or [-] key for three seconds to increase or decrease the alarm settings rapidly. Press the ALARM key to turn on (the alarm icon will appear ) and off the alarm. Press the SNOOZE key once at any time to return to the normal mode.
The following section describes additional features and display icons. 9.1 Weather Forecasting Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location.
Cloudy Pressure is falling and the previous condition is partly cloudy or Pressure is rising and the previous condition is rainy. Rainy Pressure is falling and the previous condition is cloudy. 9.3 Moon Phase The following moon phases are displayed based on the calendar date.

The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant. 9.5 Feels Like Temperature Feels like temperature is a combination of Heat Index and Wind Chill.
