3.1.14 Weather threshold (2-4, default 3)
       It’s pressure sensitivity setting for weather forecasting. When the pressure rises over weather
       threshold in past 12 hours the weather upgrades (like from partly cloudy to sunny). When the
       pressure drops over weather threshold in past 12 hours the weather degrades (like from cloudy to
       raining). For areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure requires a higher level setting
       compared to an area where the air pressure is stagnant. For example if 4 is selected, then there must
       be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 4hPa needed to change the weather forecast icons.

    (1) Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed           too close to a heat source (such as a building
        structure, the ground or trees).

        To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and
        digital thermometers (from other weather stations) are not a good source and have their own margin of
        error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing
        (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official
        weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated).

        Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the fluid thermometer, and allow the
        sensor to stabilize for 48 hours. Compare this temperature to the fluid thermometer and adjust the
        console to match the fluid thermometer.
                                                       - 22 -


   (2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to contamination. In
       addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation over dirt vs. lawn for
       example).

       Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to manufacturing
       tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To improve this accuracy, the indoor and outdoor humidity
       can be calibrated using an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer.

   (3) The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to
       sea-level).

       To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to
       sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level
       corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher
       than your measured pressure.

       Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but
       the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).

       The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure
       around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are
       considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered
       low pressure.

       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.

   (4) Only use this if you improperly installed the weather station sensor array, and did not point the direction
       reference to true north.

   (5) The default conversion factor based on the wavelength for bright sunlight is 126.7 lux / w/m2 . This
       variable can be adjusted by photovoltaic experts based on the light wavelength of interest, but for most
       weather station owners, is accurate for typical applications, such as calculating evapotransporation
       and solar panel efficiency.

   (6) Wind speed is the most sensitive to installation constraints. The rule of thumb for properly installing a
       wind speed sensor is 4 x the distance of the tallest obstruction. For example, if your house is 20’ tall
       and you mount the sensor on a 5’ pole:

       Distance = 4 x (20 – 5)’ = 60’.

       Many installations are not perfect and installing the weather station on a roof can be difficult. Thus, you
       can calibrate for this error with a wind speed multiplier.

       In addition to the installation challenges, wind cup bearings (moving parts) wear over time.

       Without a calibrated source, wind speed can be difficult to measure. We recommend using a calibrated
       wind meter (available from Ambient Weather) and a constant speed, high speed fan.

   (7) The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips every 0.01”
       of rain (referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can be compared to a sight glass rain
       gauge with an aperture of at least 4”.
       Make sure you periodically clean the rain gauge funnel.

Note: The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices

                                                      - 23 -


margin of error. Errors can occur due to electronic variation (example, the temperature sensor is a resistive
thermal device or RTD, the humidity sensor is a capacitance device), mechanical variation, or degradation
(wearing of moving parts, contamination of sensors).

Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional.
This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and
degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such as the internet, radio, television
or newspapers. The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary
significantly from location to location.

NOTE: UV Calibration MUST be performed every 2 to 3 months to improve results. Over time, UV Index may
alter results based on bright and strong sunlight conditions. This is why diligent UV Calibration is
recommended.

    Maintenance
    1. Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months as follows. Reference Figure 11.

        Step 1: Make a note of the current rain totals by referencing the calibration screen (reference Section
        错误!未找到引用源。). You will need to re-enter these values after the calibration procedure it complete.
                                                     - 26 -


       Step 2: Pour water into the rain collector to moisturize the dirt inside rain bucket.

       Step 3: Use an approximately 3 inch (80 mm) long cotton swab, and push the cotton tip through the
       rain collector hole until is reaches the self emptying mechanism, and press until the mechanism no
       longer rotates.

       Step 4: Rotate the cotton swab back and forth, removing dirt from the tipping mechanism and rain
       collector hole.

       Step 5: Remove the cotton swab and flush with water to remove any remaining dirt.

       Step 6: Re-enter the rain totals recorded in Step 1.

                       Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal
                       (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
                       Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers
                       (example, aluminum siding) or multiple, thick walls.

                       Move the display console around electrical noise generating devices,

                       completely discharge the voltage.

                       Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar
                       panel to drain the voltage.

Problem                 Solution
                        Put batteries back in and resync with console by powering down and
                        up the console with the sensor array about 10 feet away.

                        Bring the sensor array inside the house (you can disconnect it from
                        the rest of the sensors). The LED next to the battery compartment will
                        flash every 16 seconds. If the LED is not flashing every 16
                        seconds…

                        Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array. Non-rechargeable
                        batteries are OK for testing purposes.
                        If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the sensor
                        is flashing every 48 seconds, proceed to the next step.

                        There may be a temporary loss of communication due to reception
                        loss related to interference or other location factors,

                        or the batteries may have been changed in the sensor array and the
                        console has not been reset. The solution may be as simple as
                        powering down and up the console.

                        Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array. Non-rechargeable
                        batteries are OK for testing purposes.

                        With the sensor array and console 10 feet away from each other,
                        remove AC power from the display console and wait 10 seconds.
                        Re-connect power.
