Before commissioning

NOTICEAvoid connection faults!In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

  1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
  2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
  3. Establish a power supply for the sensor.
  4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
  5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries in both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio connection can be re-established. If one of the twodevices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection for this device must also be disconnected briefly when changing the battery. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are replaced, the signal cannot be received or can no longer be received correctly.Note that the actual range depends on the building materials used in the building and the position of the base unit and outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sourcesof interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Sometimes a shift of just a few centimetersis enough!

The first steps

Follow the bullet points in order, to ensure a successful setup.

  1. Setting up power supply (base station and wireless sensor)
  2. Mount the wireless sensor
  3. The base station is now in AP mode (LED flashes green) and ready for initial setup.
  4. Create an account with a weather service provider compatible with your station, e.g. wunderground.com or weathercloud.net, and add the station to your account (“My Profile” / “AddWeather station”) or (“Devices” / “+ New”). Make a note of the station ID and password, as they will be needed in the next step. Write down the Station ID and Password, because they are needed for the next step.
  5. Setting up the base station (Estabish WIFI / Router connection)
  6. Viewing weather data via the web, mobile, or tablet

Setting up power supply

Base station

  1. Insert the DC connector into the connection socket of the base station.
