Installation
The Honeywell Semi-Professional Weather Station operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no wire installation is required
between the main unit (receiver) and the remote weather sensors (transmitters). The remote weather sensors include (1)
thermo-hygrometer (temperature and humidity) sensor, anemometer (wind sensor) and a rain gauge (rain sensor). All data
measured by these remote sensors is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with the operating range up to 328 feet (100
meters) in the open area. The Anemometer and the Rain Gauge must be placed outdoors to measure weather elements.
Remote Thermo-Hygrometer can be placed indoors or outdoors. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature and humidity,
place the remote sensor outdoors, preferably not in the direct sunlight.
Before you begin

interconnecting wires are required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensors (transmitters).
Power up and test communications between all of the sensors and the main unit BEFORE mounting them outside.
•
•
For most applications alkaline batteries are acceptable where temperatures remain above 32°F (0°C).
At temperatures below 32ºF(0ºC) use lithium batteries otherwise transmission performance will be reduced or
interrupted
•
•
Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries do not provide correct power levels).
ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensors before the main unit. (Please read batteries installation instructions in
the manual for each remote sensor before installation)
•
•
•
•
Insert batteries matching the polarity in the battery compartment
Remove plastic sleeve from LCD display (if any).
During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote sensors.
After reception is established (all of the remote readings will appear on the main unit’s display), position the remote
sensors and the main unit within the effective transmission range. Ideally they should be placed within the line of sight
of the main unit. See placement tips in the user manual for each remote sensor.
Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.
The main unit must be placed indoors.
•
•
•
The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building materials and how the receiver (main unit)
and transmitters (sensors) are positioned.
•
•
Place the remote sensors so that they face the main unit (receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and
furniture.
Make sure that the remote sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the outdoor sensor batteries may have reduced voltage and a reduced
effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
IMPORTANT: We recommend cleaning the remote sensors periodically, as dirt and debris affects sensor accuracy.

Atomic Time Reception
The purpose of the atomic clock is to provide consistently accurate time and date automatically. The radio controlled clock
searches for, and periodically synchronizes to, the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Atomic clock signal
transmitted from Colorado, throughout the entire continental United States.
•
During night-time hours, atmospheric conditions improve radio signal reception. A single daily reception is sufficient
enough to keep the clock accuracy within milliseconds.
•
•
Unit should be positioned 8 feet (2 meters) from interference sources such as a TV, computer, microwave, etc.
The signal reception is weakened within concrete walls found in basements or office buildings. Place the unit near the
window for best reception.
•
It takes between 24 and 72 hours for the clock to receive an atomic time signal reception
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the
icon will appear. Your atomic
clock is programmed to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal
has been successfully received, the time and date will be updated automatically.
To manually enable or disable the atomic time receiver:
•
Press and hold UP arrow button - if atomic time reception is activated, a triangular tower icon will start flashing next to
the clock icon. If reception is disabled, the triangular tower icon will disappear.

Troubleshooting
Q: “The display shows dashes “---” for weather parameter(s)”
A: The display will show “- - -” when the wireless connection with the remote sensor is lost for the following periods:
Thermo-Hygrometer
Anemometer (Wind Sensor): 15 minutes
Rain Gauge (Rain Sensor) 30 minutes
15 minutes
Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold DOWN arrow button on the main unit to
search for all remote signals. If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding sensor to the
main unit and change locations to improve reception. Wireless signals pass through solid objects and walls, however,
whenever is possible the sensor should be within line-of-sight with the main unit.
The following may cause reception problems:
•
•
The remote weather sensor and a main unit are too far from each other.
The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation, are in the path of
transmission.
•
Interference from wireless devices such as: cordless phones, radio headsets and baby listening devices or electronic

appliances.
Q: “My weather station readings are different from TV, radio or official weather reports.”
A: The weather data may vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement of the remote sensors.
If readings are in question, check the sensor placement tips included in this manual.
Q: “The weather forecast is inaccurate.”
A: Weather forecast predicts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, and does not reflect current weather conditions.
