The optional DP50, DP60, DP70, DP100, DP200 can be Note: purchased separately. Make sure to select the model of the units with the same RF frequency as your gateway (the frequency is different for various countries because of regulations). Note: There’s a built-in heat plate in the 6-in-1 sensor package body, if the lowest temperature at your place is below -3°C, or 26.6°F, and the weather is mostly snowy or rainy, then you may need to activate the heater by supplying an external 5V/1A power to the sensor heating element for...
4 Set up Guide Before you start, you will need a screwdriver (size PH0, not provided) and find the wrench (size M5) included in package. We suggest you assemble all components of the weather station, including Note: base unit in one location so you can easily test functionality. After testing, place the outdoor sensors in the desired location.

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 tighten all four nuts, taking care to do so evenly. Do not use a wrench yet! Now you will need to align the whole package in the proper direction by rotating it on top of the mounting pipe as needed.

Figure 4: Indoor sensor battery installation 4.4.1 Sensor Placement The best mounting location for the indoor sensor is in a location that never receives direct sunlight, not even through windows. Also, do not install in a location where a nearby radiant heat source (radiator, heaters, etc.) will affect it.
Figure 20: Indoor sensor mounting Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat Note: 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.

The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) 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, such as Weather.com or...
Without a calibrated source, wind speed can be difficult to measure. We recommend using a calibrated wind meter (not included) and a constant speed, high speed fan. (7) The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter.

6 Maintenance The following steps should be taken for proper maintenance of your station Clean Rain Gauge Check the rain gauge every 3 months. Rotate the funnel counterclockwise and lift it up. Clean the funnel and bucket with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, debris and insects.
Page 86
Clean solar radiation sensor and solar panel The solar radiation sensor and solar panel of the outdoor sensor array need to be cleaned with a non-abrasive slightly damp cloth every 3 months. Replacing batteries regularly Batteries of the outdoor sensor array should be replaced every 1-2 years. In applications where data dropouts cannot be tolerated, check the batteries every 3 months and apply a corrosion preventing compound (not included) on the battery terminals for protection.

Note: The primary power source for the outdoor sensor is the solar panel. When available solar power (light over recent period) is insufficient, the batteries will be used. In outdoor climates that frequently have sustained temperatures below 0°C (or 32°F) the use of Lithium batteries is strongly suggested as these are performing better than Alkaline batteries under such circumstances.
