Getting Started The WS3083 Professional Wireless Weather Station includes a base station (receiver), a transmitter unit which includes solar panel and light sensors, one wind direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, one mounting tree, one USB cable and a downloadable PC software package. 7 8 9 10 1 11 12 2 13 3 14 4 5 15 6 16 18 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.
Important Notes System Start Insert two LR6 (AA) size batteries into the transmitter first. The LED located in the middle on the front of the transmitter will illuminate for 4 seconds. If the LED does not light up or stays on permanently make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way. After the transmitter is powered up it will transmit weather data for 24 seconds and then will start radio controlled time reception.
Note: When replacing batteries in the transmitter wait two minutes before re-inserting for a proper reset. Wind Direction On the edge of the wind direction sensor, there are four letters - “N”, ”E”, ”S” and “W” representing the directions North, East, South and West. The wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching your real location.

Resetting the maximum light intensity value when both the light intensity value and MAX icon are flashing, hold the ENTER key for 3s, the maximum light intensity value will be reset to the current reading. Rain Press the MENU key thirteen times to select the RAIN section, the RAIN section digits will start flashing.
PC Connection An important feature of the WS3083 is the capability for the recorded data to be downloaded, stored and displayed on your PC. Data Storage The Base Station allows the internal storage of up to 4,080 complete sets of weather data with time and date. These data sets are stored in non-volatile ring buffer memory (EEPROM) and will not be lost in the event of an interruption of power supply (e. g. change of batteries).
Trouble Shooting Problem I am not receiving any outside data. Solution Check that batteries in both units are fresh and fully charged. Alkaline batteries slow down and freeze in colder temperatures which leads to signal dropouts so we recommend Lithium batteries in colder climates. Also avoid rechargeable batteries as many are 1.2V (standard 1.5V required) and they also leak their peak charge quickly even if they are 1.5V. Put the batteries in the receiver last to force a proper resync.
