Le opzioni di montaggio includono:

• Montare in alto: Directly attach to a flat surface.
• Montaggio su palo (in alto): Attach to the top of a pole using the provided bracket.
• Mount on side: Attach to a vertical surface.
• Montaggio su palo (laterale): Attach to the side of a pole using the provided bracket.

Use the included mounting pole, nuts, bolts, and tapping screws as appropriate for your chosen installation method. Ensure the sensor is securely fastened to withstand wind and other weather conditions.

3.3 Display Console Power-Up and Synchronization

Connect the power adapter to the display console and plug it into an electrical outlet. The console will power on and begin searching for the outdoor sensor. Ensure the outdoor sensor is within range for successful wireless transmission. Synchronization typically occurs automatically within a few minutes.

4. Funzionamento

4.1 Fine displayview

The 7.5-inch high-contrast color screen provides a clear and comprehensive view of all weather data. The display is organized to show various parameters at a glance.

Le informazioni chiave visualizzate includono:

• Temperatura e umidità interna: Current conditions inside your home.
• Temperatura e umidità esterne: Condizioni attuali misurate dal sensore esterno.
• Velocità e direzione del vento: Current wind speed, average wind speed, wind gust, and a compass indicating wind direction.
• Piovosità: Daily, weekly, monthly, and cumulative rainfall data.
• Pressione barometrica: Pressione atmosferica attuale.
• Icona meteo: Forecast based on barometric pressure changes.
• Fase lunare: Fase lunare attuale.
• Data e ora: Data e ora correnti.
• Punto di rugiada e sensazione: Additional calculated weather metrics.

4.2 Regolazione della retroilluminazione

The display console features a manual 3-level backlight adjustment to ensure clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

To adjust the backlight, press the LUCE/SNOOZE button located on the top of the console. Each press cycles through the brightness levels (100%, 60%, 20%) or turns the backlight off.

4.3 Funzioni dei pulsanti

The display console has several buttons for setting and viewdati:

• IMPOSTATO: Enters setup mode or confirms settings.
• TEMPERATURA: Cycles through temperature display modes or units.
• PIOVERE: Displays different rainfall data (e.g., hourly, daily, total).
• WIND (+): Displays wind data or increases values in setting mode.
• PRESSURE (-): Displays pressure data or decreases values in setting mode.
• ALLARME: Sets or activates alarms.
• MASSIMO/MIN: Views maximum and minimum recorded values.
• LUCE/SNOOZE: Adjusts backlight brightness or silences alarms.

5. Calibrazione

For optimal accuracy, you may need to calibrate certain sensors. This process allows you to adjust the readings to match a known reference or local conditions.

5.1 Calibrazione della temperatura

1. In modalità normale, tenere premuto il tasto IMPOSTATO E CANALE/+ buttons simultaneously for five seconds to enter temperature calibration mode. The indoor temperature will flash.
2. Premere CANALE/+ or MAX/MIN/- to increase or decrease the temperature reading in 0.1 increments. Hold the button for three seconds for rapid adjustment.
3. Premere il tasto ALLARME button to reset the current value.
4. Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO button to move to outdoor temperature calibration.
5. To exit calibration, press the SNOOZE / LIGHT button. If no operation is performed, the mode will exit after 30 seconds.

5.2 Calibrazione dell'umidità

1. In modalità normale, tenere premuto il tasto IMPOSTATO E MAX/MIN/- buttons simultaneously for five seconds to enter humidity calibration mode.
2. Follow the same adjustment and exit steps as for temperature calibration.

5.3 Pressure, Wind, Rain, and Sunlight Calibration

1. In modalità normale, tenere premuto il tasto IMPOSTATO E ALLARME buttons simultaneously for five seconds to enter this calibration mode. The letters "CAL" will appear.
2. Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO button repeatedly to cycle through the sensors (Absolute Pressure, Relative Pressure, Wind Speed, Rainfall, Sunlight).
3. Absolute Pressure Calibration: When "ABS" is displayed and the absolute pressure value flashes, use CANALE/+ or MAX/MIN/- to adjust the value (default 0.00 inHg). Press ALLARME per reimpostare.
4. Relative Pressure Calibration: After absolute pressure, press IMPOSTATO again. When "REL" is displayed and the relative pressure value flashes, adjust as above (default 0.00 inHg).
5. Wind Speed Calibration: After pressure, press IMPOSTATO again. The wind speed value will flash (default 1.00). Adjust the calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25 using CANALE/+ or MAX/MIN/-. Calibration speed = factor x measured speed.
6. Rainfall Calibration: After wind speed, press IMPOSTATO again. The rainfall value will flash (default 1.00). Adjust the calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25 using CANALE/+ or MAX/MIN/-. Calibration rain = factor x measured rain.
7. Sunlight Calibration: After rainfall, press IMPOSTATO again. The sunlight value will flash (default 1.00). Adjust the calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25 using CANALE/+ or MAX/MIN/-. Calibration sunlight = factor x measured sunlight.
8. To exit calibration, press the SNOOZE / LIGHT button. If no operation is performed, the mode will exit after 30 seconds.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Se riscontri problemi con la tua stazione meteorologica, fai riferimento ai seguenti passaggi comuni per la risoluzione dei problemi:

• Nessuna visualizzazione sulla console: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and plugged into a working outlet. Check if backup batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge.
• Nessun dato del sensore esterno: Verify that the outdoor sensor batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Ensure the sensor is within the wireless transmission range of the display console and there are no major obstructions. Try re-synchronizing the sensor by removing and reinserting its batteries, then powering on the console.
• Letture imprecise:
  • Temperatura/Umidità: Ensure the outdoor sensor is not in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can skew readings. Allow time for the sensor to acclimate to its environment. Consider performing a calibration as described in Section 5.
  • Piovosità: Check that the rain gauge is level and free from debris (leaves, dirt) that could block the tipping bucket mechanism.
  • Velocità/direzione del vento: Ensure the wind cups and wind vane rotate freely and are not obstructed. The sensor should be mounted in an open area. Note that the wind direction sensor is fixed relative to its mounting, so proper orientation during installation is crucial.
  • Pressione barometrica: If readings seem incorrect, perform a calibration as described in Section 5.
• Perdita intermittente del segnale: This can be caused by distance, obstacles (thick walls, metal structures), or interference from other electronic devices. Try repositioning the outdoor sensor or the display console to improve signal strength.
