The rule of thumb is to install the anemometer at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20' tall, and the mounting pole is 6' tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)' = 56' away. 4. Wireless Range.

temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10'apart). The worst case sensor accuracy should be within 4°F worst case (the accuracy is ±2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. • Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10'apart). The worst case sensor accuracy should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%).
10.1 Connect your Device to the Receiver's WiFi Make sure your receiver is plugged into AC power. It will not connect to WiFi otherwise. When you first power up the console, or press and hold the WAP button for three seconds, the WiFi LED will flash to signify that it has entered wireless access point (WAP) mode, and is ready to connect to the console's WiFi. You can use your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart phone to connect to the console's WiFi.
Figure 53 Example 3. Connect to the console WiFi server with an iPhone or iPad. Tap the Settings icon and Wi-Fi. Connect to the WeatherHome WiFi network, as shown in Figure 54 (your WiFi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with WeatherHome).
Example 4. Connect to the console WiFi server with an Android. From the Apps icon, tap the Settings icon and Wi-Fi. Connect to the WeatherHome WiFi network, as shown in Figure 55 (your WiFi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with WeatherHome). Figure 55 10.2 Accessing the Console's Web Interface Once connected to the console WiFi, open any web browser, and enter the following IP address into the address bar: http://192.168.5.1 to access the console's web interface.

Figure 57 If the connection is successful, the Wi-Fi console's WiFi LED will stop flashing and remain on. When the console successfully connects and uploads to AmbientWeather.net, the data signal LED will Light Off. If the data signal NET NET LED flash once per 60 seconds, the console is currently uploading to the server. If data signal NET LED will Light On, the console is not connected to the weather server for more than 30 minutes.

Figure 59 If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal: 1. Tap the to enter the lost sensor search mode, Tap the to exit the search mode. 2. The search icon will be displayed for 3 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon will change Page 16 , and the current values will be displayed..
If new sensors are added, subtracted, or multiple sensor channels are lost, in search mode to select ALL’s .Or press and hold for three seconds button on receiver. B: Console's Units Select the view icon and tap . Figure 60 Choose your want Units into the web interface (Figure 60), and tap Save. C: Adjustment or Calibrate Select the view icon and tap Page 17 .
Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always displays the un-calibrated or measured value. Note: The measured humidity range is between 10 and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately measured outside of this range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error.
C1:Temperature or Humidity Calibration Select you want to type of calibration value and tap , then enter temperature offset rang:-9.0F to 9.0F,default 0F. Select you want to type of calibration value and tap , then enter humidity offset rang:-9% to 9%,default 0%. Note: Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure accurately and drifts over time. The calibration feature allows you to zero out this error.
To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station. C3: Wind Gain Calibration Select calibration value and tap , then enter wind speed calibration factor from: 75% to 125% The default is 100%.
