CM2026 Home Weather Station Welcome to the ClimeMET CM2026 Home Weather Station. Congratulations on the purchase of your new home weather station, the latest in weather technology from ClimeMET. This system can be set up to measure the indoor & outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and more at your location. You’ll be able to go back and view maximum and minimum historical records, while you can also set various alarms to let you know if and when certain conditions are met.

CM2026 Home Weather Station The Sensor Suite 4 2 6 3 5 1 1 Thermo-Hygro Transmitter – Measures the outdoor temperature and humidity, but is also responsible for transmitting all outdoor readings to the display console. 2 Rain Collector – Self-emptying rain collector that uses a tipping-mechanism to measure rainfall. 3 Anemometer – A set of wind cups used to measure wind speed readings. 4 Wind Vane – Rotating sensor used to measure wind direction.
CM2026 Home Weather Station The Display Console The display console utilizes five keys for easy use: SET, +, HISTORY, ALARM and MIN/MAX. While in any stage of the setup menu, you can exit to the home screen at any time by simply pressing the HISTORY key, or leaving the console for 30 seconds without pressing any key. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Installation Battery Installation: Inserting the batteries into the outdoor sensor suite will power up the station and activate the attached sensors. 1. Locate the battery compartment underneath the Rain Collector. Turn the screw anti-clockwise to loosen the metal latch which can be moved aside to gain access to the battery compartment. 1 2 2. Carefully pull out the battery tray using the handle. 3 3.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Battery Installation Continued: Now power the display console by inserting 3 x AA batteries into the battery compartment at the back of the unit. When the console initially starts up, all segments of the display will illuminate briefly to ensure the screen is functioning correctly. Following this, the weather station will make an initial measurement and begin receiving the outdoor readings.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Sensor Assembly Before mounting the station at your chosen location, it’s worth setting up the weather station properly so that all functions can be tested prior to installation. If there are any problems during the assembly of the sensors, it may not be so easy to access the system later on.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Sensor Assembly Continued Please note: On the edge of the wind direction sensor there are the letters N, E, S & W representing the four cardinal directions. When installing the weather station in your chosen location, it’s vital to ensure that the sensor suite is properly oriented otherwise the wind direction readings will be incorrect. It’s also important to make sure that the sensor suite is level – please use the bubble level to verify this.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Console Setup While on the home screen, press and hold the SET key for two seconds to enter the Setup menu. When you enter the setup menu, the time will no longer be shown on the display console and you will instead see flashing values that can be altered. To move through each different option in the setup menu, simply press the SET key. While on a section that you wish to change, use the + key to increase the values and the MIN/MAX key to decrease.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Programme Mode Quick Display Mode: While on the home screen, press the SET key to enter the Quick Display mode. Pressing the SET key multiple times will scroll through the following values: - Wind speed - Pressing the + key while viewing this figure will toggle between Wind speed and Gust speed. - Rainfall figures - Pressing the + key will scroll through the selectable time periods of 1 hour, 24 hours, week, month and total.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Wind Speed: Wind speed is the parameter most-affected by the possible constraints of the installation. Ensure that the weather station isn’t located close to buildings, trees or other obstructions. The wind gain multiplier can be changed to increase/decrease your wind speed readings if you can be certain they are being significantly affected by the surroundings and you have an appropriate, calibrated source to compare these to.
CM2026 Home Weather Station History Mode While on the Home Screen, press the HISTORY key to enter the History Mode. - While in the History Mode, press the MIN/MAX key to view records over the past 24 hours at increments of -3 hours, -6 hours, -9 hours, -12 hours, -15 hours, -18 hours, -21 hours and -24 hours. - If you need to clear your data, press the SET key to begin the clear history procedure.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Alarm Mode Continued In the Low Alarm Mode, Press the SET key to select the following alarms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Time Alarm Outdoor Humidity Low Alarm (1% - 99%) Outdoor Temperature Low Alarm (-40°C – 60°C) Wind Chill Low Alarm (-40°C – 60°C) Dew Point Low Alarm (-40°C – 60°C) Indoor Humidity Low Alarm (1% - 99%) Indoor Temperature Low Alarm (-9.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Minimum/Maximum Mode - While in normal mode, press the MIN/MAX key to enter the maximum mode. Press the MIN/MAX key again to enter the minimum mode. Press the MIN/MAX key again to return to the normal mode. In the maximum reading Mode, press the + key to display the following maximum values together with the time and date stamp showing when these values recorded.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Reset to Factory Defaults If you need to reset all settings back to their factory defaults, press and hold the + key for 20 seconds. This will clear all settings, remove all records and erase any stored data, so make sure this is exactly what is desired before using this function. Maintenance & Troubleshooting The ClimeMET CM2026 has been designed with dependability in mind and will require minimal attention once set up.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Maintenance and Troubleshooting Indoor Temperature and Humidity: Temperature readings are too high/low If the indoor temperature readings appear to be high, make sure that the display console has not been placed in a location where it will be in direct sunlight during the day. This can cause the plastic casing to heat up which takes some time to cool down again, which may ultimately result in false readings.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning your Wind Sensors: It’s also a good idea to keep your wind sensors clean in order to ensure they can move freely enough to produce accurate readings. Use the supplied Allen key to remove the wind vane and cups and then use a cloth to clean the metal shaft to remove any built-up dirt or grit.
CM2026 Home Weather Station Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning your Rain Collector: Over time, you may find that blockages are created in your rain gauge due to leaves, insects or something else. Though these items may be small, they can prevent the tipping-mechanism from moving freely and therefore impact upon your rainfall readings if they are left to build up. To access the mechanism, firstly locate the three holes on the underside of the rain collector as shown.
