4. Opstelling
4.1 Aanskakeling van die hoofeenheid
The main weather station unit can be powered in two ways:
- USB-krag (aanbeveel): Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the main unit and plug the other end into a USB power adapter (not included). When powered by USB, the backlight can be set to High, Medium, or Low, and remains continuously on.
- Batterykrag: Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. When powered by batteries, a short press of the 'Light' button will activate the backlight for 10 seconds.
4.2 Powering the Remote Sensors
Each wireless remote sensor requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of each sensor and insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

4.3 Sensor Pairing and Placement
Once the main unit and sensors are powered on, the sensors will automatically connect to the main unit. The main unit will display the indoor temperature and humidity, along with the readings from the three outdoor sensors (labeled OUTDOOR 1, OUTDOOR 2, OUTDOOR 3).
Place the remote sensors in desired outdoor locations or other rooms you wish to monitor. Ensure they are within the maximum transmission range of 100 meters (328 feet) from the main unit. Avoid placing sensors in direct sunlight or rain for accurate readings and longevity. The main unit can be placed indoors on a table or mounted on a wall.

4.4 Initial Weather Forecast Calibration
For accurate weather forecasting, the station requires an initial calibration period of 7 to 10 days. During this time, it learns the local barometric pressure patterns. After this period, the weather forecast accuracy is approximately 75%.

5.1 Verstaan die skerm
The color LCD screen provides a clear overview of all monitored data:
- Binne-afdeling: Wys huidige binnenshuise temperatuur en humiditeit.
- Weather Section: Shows the 12-hour weather forecast icon.
- Barometriese druk: Displays current atmospheric pressure and trend.
- Outdoor Sections (1, 2, 3): Each section displays the temperature and humidity from its corresponding remote sensor. The color-coded display helps differentiate between sensors.

5.2 Weather Forecast Icons
The weather station predicts the weather for the next 12 hours using 7 distinct icons based on barometric pressure changes:
- Sonnig
- Gedeeltelik Bewolk
- Bewolk
- Reën
- Donderstorm
- Light Snowfall
- Heavy Snowfall

8. Probleemoplossing
Indien u probleme met u weerstasie ondervind, verwys na die volgende algemene probleme en oplossings:
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| No outdoor sensor readings | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted in the sensor. Sensor is out of range or obstructed. | Replace sensor batteries. Move sensor closer to the main unit. Ensure no major obstructions (thick walls, metal objects) between sensor and main unit. |
| Onakkurate temperatuur-/humiditeitslesings | Sensor blootgestel aan direkte sonlig, hittebronne of vog. | Relocate sensors to a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or moisture. Allow time for readings to stabilize. |
| Weervoorspelling lyk verkeerd | Initial calibration period not complete. Local weather conditions are highly variable. | Allow 7-10 days for initial calibration. Remember forecasts are predictions and not always 100% accurate. |
| Display is dim or off | Low batteries in main unit. USB power not connected or faulty. | Replace main unit batteries or connect to USB power. Check USB cable and adapter. |
