Weather Station: Insert the 5V Power Adapter into an outlet, and then plug it into the Power

Jack on the back of the station. Next, remove the Insulation Tab from the Station’s Battery

Compartment. About 30 seconds after powering the station on, it will automatically enter the

Settings Menu.

Note: It may take up to 10 minutes for the sensor data to appear on your station’s screen.

.MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?

TX145WSDR (Cyclone):

•Use the built-in Bubble Level to ensure the Cyclone Sensor (especially the rain gauge) is

mounted level.

•Ensure the Solar Panel is facing the South. This helps optimize battery life and transmit

correct wind direction data.

•Ideally, the Cyclone Sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your area. Avoid

positioning the sensor parallel or below eaves, roof lines, trees, or other objects that may

obstruct wind and rain readings.

•Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups, Wind Vane, and Battery

Compartment are securely fastened.

•The Cyclone Sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on the top.

•Place away from trees. Wind passing through trees moves slower than wind in open areas.

•The maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in the open air, is

330 feet (100 meters).

•Use the included mounting bracket or your mounting pole (no more than 1-inch outer

diameter to fit). Secure the sensor with the screws provided. Tighten the screws to snug (do

not over-tighten).

•Solar panel must face South to provide correct Wind Direction.

•General Wind Sensor mounting video: http://bit.ly/wind_sensor_mounting

Basic Mounting:

1. Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four

provided screws. 2. Place the Cyclone Sensor on top of the Mast.

Ensure the Solar Panel is facing south.

•Insert a mounting screw through the hole at the top to securely mount the sensor.

It can also hang from the back using a nail.

•Mount the sensor vertically in a protected well-shaded area. Keeping it out of direct

weather elements such as sunlight, rain, snow, etc. will help avoid inaccurate

readings.

•For additional protection against weather elements, a Sensor Weather Shield:

https://bit.ly/weather-shield can be purchased separately.

•The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft (100m) in open air. This

does not include walls, floors, or other large obstructions.

•For online video instruction visit: bit.ly/th_sensor_mounting.

WHERE DO I PLACE MY STATION?

Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the

wall. When the stand is closed, it provides wall mounting holes.

•Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some of the outlets in living rooms

and bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.

•This station must operate with a 5-volt power cord for a constant backlight.

•The best sensor reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each

sensor outside.

•Position your station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF

(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet in any direction.

•The Atomic Time Signal originates in Ft. Collins Colorado and has a range of 2000 miles. In

some cases, the signal is affected by weather conditions, geographic location. dwelling

construction materials or electrical interferences. The position of the station in the home may

result in poor reception. If the station has not synchronized to the correct time within a few

days of activation, you may need to move the station to a different location. It is best to

position the station near an exterior wall that faces toward Colorado.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY CYCLONE SENSOR?

Tip: To avoid erroneous rain readings while cleaning, you may choose to remove the batteries.

This will cause a loss of Wind and Rain readings during the cleaning process. After cleaning

insert the batteries again and hold the Wind, then the Rain buttons on your station to reconnect.

1. Remove the Rain Funnel by firmly twisting counterclockwise to unlock it. Then lift off.

2. Clear debris from the Rain Tipper inside the sensor. Clear any leaves, dirt, or insects that

may prevent the Rain Tipper from moving freely.

3. After cleaning, re-install the Rain Funnel. Place the Funnel into the sensor and twist

clockwise to attach.

4. Lock the Rain funnel in place. Ensure one of the Arrows on the Rain Funnel aligns with the

Lock Symbol located on the top of the sensor.

WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?

Distance:

•The maximum transmitting range in the open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between each

sensor and your station.

•Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.

•Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.

Resistance:

•Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will

reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.

•Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.

2. Remove the Rain Funnel by firmly twisting the

funnel counterclockwise and lifting.

1. Clear any leaves, insects, or other debris to allow

the Rain Tipper to rock freely. Check that the drain

vents on the bottom are clear.

4. After cleaning, re-install the Rain Funnel by placing

it back into the sensor and twisting clockwise until

secure.

3. You should feel the funnel lock into place when one

of the arrows lines up with the center of the

Lock/Unlock Line.

Interference:

•Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.

•Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.

•Windows can reflect the radio signal.

•Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.

•Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.

•Transmitting antennas from ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases,

etc. may cause interference.

•Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.

WIND SPEED, DIRECTION, RAIN

HOW DO I INTERPRET THE CURRENT WIND READINGS?

Wind Speed Readings:

•WIND SPEED: 31 second highest wind speed. Within 31s cycle time, there are 10 sample data

(3s for each). The largest among these 10 samples will be sent as the current wind speed.

•Top (1 HR): Top Wind Speed in the past 60-minute period, from last record (10 minutes a

timestamp, total 6 records) (default record no timestamp).

Wind Direction:

•The Current and Prevailing Wind Direction are displayed in letters.

•In the settings section, you can choose the direction to display in degrees.

EX: NNE would read as 30°.

HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE WIND HISTORY READINGS.

1. Press and release the WIND button to view the maximum Wind Records values (Top Speed).

2. When viewing MONTH, use the PLUS button to toggle through the current month and the

past 11 months’ top speed.

1. Press the WIND button to view individual wind speed readings.

2. Hold the MINUS button for five seconds to reset the individual value.

3. Wind speed reading will reset to the current wind speed, time, and date.

HOW OFTEN DOES MY WIND SENSOR UPDATE?

•Within 31s cycle time, there are 10 sample data (3s for each). The largest among these 10

samples will be sent as the current wind speed.

•Any change of 0.8km Wind Speed will cause the sensor to send the top speed for those 31

seconds.

•If there is no change in wind speed, the sensor will transmit every 3 minutes to preserve

battery life.

HOW DO I READ THE WIND DIRECTION?

Compass Rose:

•The Compass Rose displays the cardinal directions with visual indicators.

•The large diamond on the rose indicates the wind direction.

•The smaller triangles should be displayed next to the big triangle to create

more emphasis on the direction and let the user know that the direction

variates constantly.

Prevailing Wind Direction:

•The Prevailing Wind Direction reading will be the most common wind direction reading from

the past hour. This will be shown graphically inside the compass rose by one triangle that

will blink once every 3 seconds. It will be shown in letters or degrees in the lower right of the

wind area.

•If the prevailing wind direction arrow happens to fall in the same range as the current wind

speed arrows this is fine, it will just blink within the three current indicators.

Current Wind Direction: Updates about every 31 seconds. Found in the lower left side of the

wind area and can be read in letters or degrees.

HOW DO I VIEW MY RAIN READINGS?

2. When viewing MONTH, use the PLUS button to toggle through the current month and past 11

months’ rainfall.

Note: All other readings will disappear for 5 seconds. Rainfall readings will stay on user

selection.

•1 HOUR: Last one-hour rainfall (12 consecutive 5 minutes rainfall accumulated total). Example:

current time is 6:49, 1HR rain is accumulated total between 5:50 and 6:49.

•24 HOURS: Based on the past 24 hours’ accumulated rain total. At each full hour, 1HR is

recorded. This is a running total.

•7 DAYS: Accumulated last 7 consecutive 24HR rain. On each day at 0:00, 24HR rain is

recorded. Not a subject to the calendar. Be sure the time is set.

•1 MONTH: Defined by Calendar Month i.e., January 1 - January 31

Example: January 1-January 31. On the first-month calendar day 0:00, the month of rain is

reset to 0. Accumulated rain from 1st of xx (month) to current day xx (month). The current

month will be shown in the date area.

•1 YEAR: Current month plus past 11 months total.

Example: current date is Nov. 10, 2023. Year rain is Jan 1, 2021 –Oct 31, 2022, month totals,

plus the current month (Nov 1-10) rain. The current Year will show in the time display.

•TOTAL: Total rainfall since powered on or reset.

Note: As time passes without rain, the 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day rain totals will count down to

zero. Example: Station recorded 0.4 inches of rain between noon and 1:00 pm on the previous

day.

•It continued to rain until the 24-hour rain reading from 11:00 am today, back to noon the

previous day was 1.2 inches.

•Then the 24-hour reading from noon today, back to 1:00 pm the previous day shows 0.8
