Manuale utente del sensore di temperatura e umidità multicanale wireless ECOWITT WN31

Introduzione

The ECOWITT WN31 (also known as WH31) is a wireless multi-channel temperature and humidity sensor designed for indoor monitoring. It provides real-time temperature and humidity readings, which can be viewed directly on its LCD display or remotely via a compatible Wi-Fi gateway and mobile application. This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your WN31 sensor.

The WN31 sensor measures both temperature and humidity. It features an LCD display for local readings and can transmit data wirelessly to a compatible ECOWITT Wi-Fi gateway (sold separately) for remote monitoring through the WS View Plus/Ecowitt APP. The sensor supports up to 8 channels, allowing you to monitor multiple locations with additional WN31 sensors.

• Connettività wireless: Operates on a 915 MHz RF frequency (for US/CA regions).
• Supporto multicanale: Monitor up to 8 distinct locations with additional WN31 sensors.
• Schermo LCD: Provides immediate temperature and humidity readings.
• Monitoraggio remoto: Requires an ECOWITT Wi-Fi gateway (e.g., GW1100, HP2551, WH2680, WN1900) for app integration and online data access.
• Fonte di energia: Richiede batterie 2 AA (non incluse).

Impostare

1. Installazione della batteria

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the WN31 sensor.
2. Inserire due (2) batterie AA, assicurandosi della corretta polarità (+/-).
3. Chiudere saldamente il coperchio del vano batterie.

2. Channel Configuration and Temperature Unit Selection

The WN31 sensor features dip switches inside the battery compartment to customize the channel number and select the temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit).

• Channel Number (1st to 3rd Dip Switches): Adjust these switches to set the desired channel number (1-8) for your sensor. This is crucial when using multiple WN31 sensors to avoid interference and identify data from specific locations.
• Temperature Unit (4th Dip Switch): Toggle the 4th dip switch to select between Celsius (℃) and Fahrenheit (℉).

After adjusting the dip switches, the sensor will display the selected channel and temperature unit on its LCD.

3. Gateway Pairing (Optional, for Remote Monitoring)

A view sensor data on your mobile application or the Ecowitt Weather Server, the WN31 sensor must be paired with a compatible ECOWITT Wi-Fi gateway (e.g., GW1100, HP2551, WH2680, WN1900). These gateways are sold separately.

Refer to the quick start guide provided with your specific ECOWITT Wi-Fi gateway for detailed Wi-Fi configuration and pairing procedures. Once configured, the sensor data will be streamed to the gateway and become accessible via the WS View APP Plus/Ecowitt.

4. Montaggio del sensore

The WN31 sensor can be mounted in various ways to suit your monitoring needs. It is designed primarily for indoor use.

Choose a location that provides accurate readings for the area you wish to monitor. Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high airflow that could skew readings.

Operazione

1. LCD Display Readings

The WN31 sensor features an LCD screen that displays the current temperature and humidity. The selected channel number is also shown.

2. Remote Monitoring via Mobile Application

Once paired with an ECOWITT Wi-Fi gateway, you can monitor the WN31 sensor's data remotely using the WS View Plus or Ecowitt APP on your smartphone or tablet. The app allows you to view live data, historical graphs, and manage multiple sensors.

3. Ecowitt Weather Server and Email Alerts

The ECOWITT system supports uploading data to the free Ecowitt Weather Server (ecowitt.net). On this platform, you can view data graphs, download historical records, and set up email alerts for all your connected sensors. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring conditions in areas like freezers or basements and receiving notifications if thresholds are exceeded.

4. Piattaforme supportate

The ECOWITT system integrates with various weather platforms, allowing you to share and view your weather data through different services.

Manutenzione

• Sostituzione della batteria: When the battery indicator on the LCD display or in the app shows low power, replace both AA batteries with new ones. Ensure correct polarity.
• Pulizia: Wipe the sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Protezione ambientale: The WN31 is designed for indoor use. While it can tolerate some outdoor conditions, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid exposing the sensor to direct rain or excessive moisture to prevent damage, especially to the hygrometer component.

Risoluzione dei problemi

1. No Readings on LCD or App

• Controllare le batterie: Assicurarsi che le batterie siano installate correttamente e non siano scariche. Sostituirle se necessario.
• Connessione gateway: If using the app, verify that your Wi-Fi gateway is powered on, connected to your network, and properly paired with the WN31 sensor. Refer to your gateway's manual for troubleshooting its connection.
• Gamma del sensore: Ensure the sensor is within the wireless range of your gateway. Obstacles like thick walls or metal structures can reduce range.

2. Letture imprecise

• Posizionamento del sensore: Ensure the sensor is not in direct sunlight, near heat sources (e.g., vents, appliances), or in areas with extreme drafts, which can affect accuracy.
• Esposizione all'umidità: If the sensor has been exposed to water, the humidity readings may become inaccurate or the sensor may fail.

3. WN31 vs. WN32 Sensor Differences

It is important to understand the distinctions between the WN31 and WN32 sensors, as they are designed for different applications:

4. RF Frequency Compatibility

The WN31 (WH31) Thermometer & Hygrometer operates on a specific RF frequency. For devices sold in the US/CA, the frequency is 915 MHz. Ensure that any other ECOWITT products you intend to pair with this sensor also operate on the same frequency (e.g., 915 MHz for US/CA, 868 MHz for Europe, 433 MHz for Australia).
