Glossary of Common Terms

LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen
used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this
measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric
pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every direction.

RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE

Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air
pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.

ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE

Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.

INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)

Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.

HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International
System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value

Important Note:
The ProWeatherStation TP3000WC comes fully assembled for ease of use. The Outdoor
Sensor array runs mainly on solar power which charges a super capacitor located inside the
unit, but has 2 AA batteries for backup power when needed (ie; solar panel shaded or covered
with snow). The outdoor sensor array communicates with the display console over a 433Mhz
RF signal which sends the data to the display console about every 48 seconds. The display
console can be run on batteries to just display the weather readings or it can be powered using
the included 5V adapter to enable the WiFi capabilities of the display console. Once the unit is
connected to a local WiFi network the display console can upload data automatically to
Weather Underground without the need for a PC and can also be accessed from a PC running
the WeatherSmartIP Wifi software.

Proweatherstation Setup

Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station during a storm.

Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.
Perform as much of the initial checkout and assembly on the ground, preferaby inside a
building or home. Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.

2. Install Batteries

Insert 2XAA batteries in the battery compartment. The LED indicator on the back of the
transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 16 seconds (the
sensor transmission update period).

Figure 5 Figure 6

Note: If no LED lights up or is lit full time, make sure the battery is inserted with correct
polarity. Caution! Do not install the batteries backwards as you can permanently
damage the outdoor sensor. If LED function is not as expected, remove the batteries,
wait 30 seconds and then re-install.

Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are
sufficient for moderate climates. Rechargeable batteries should never be used, because they
have lower voltages.

3. Mount outdoor sensor

Reference Figure 8 & 9. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a bracket that
tightens around a 1 to 2” diameter pole (included) using the four U-Bolt nuts.

Figure 8 Figure 9

Note: Use the bubble level beside the rain sensor as a guide to verify that sensors are
level.
4. Reset Button and Transmitter LED

In the event the sensor array is not transmitting, reset the sensor array.
8000060 Rev 2 15-Nov-18 4
With an open ended paperclip, press and hold the RESET BUTTON for 3 seconds to
initiate a reset: LED turns on while RESET button is pressed, and resumes normal
operation after the Reset button is released: LED will flash every 16s during normal
operation.

6. Best Practices for Wireless Communication

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers.

We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the display console several feet away
from computer monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433MHz devices and
communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting
purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent
communication.
3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference,
barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world
installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.
4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as
aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a
window to get a clear line of sight.

The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or
obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction

Glass (untreated) 5-15%
Plastics 10-15%
Wood 10-40%
Brick 10-40%
Concrete 40-80%
Metal 90-100%

 Maintenance
1. Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months. Rotate the funnel counter-clockwise and lift to
expose the rain gauge mechanism, and clean with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt, debris
and insects. If bug infestation is an issue, spray the array lightly with insecticide.

2. Clean the solar radiation sensor and solar panel every 3 months with damp cloth.
3. Replace batteries every 1-2 years. If left in too long, the batteries may leak due to
environmental challenges. In harsh environments, inspect the batteries every 3 months
(when cleaning the solar panel).
4. When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventive compound on the battery
terminals, available at Amazon and most hardware stores.

Troubleshooting Guide

Install wind vane (If required)

Push the wind vane into the shaft. as shown in figure 1.

Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 2. Wind vane doesn’t move as freely as wind
speed sensor. This damping effect is helpful in keeping wind direction measurement
steady.

Figure 1 Figure 2

There are four letters : "N", "E", "S" and "W" around the wind direction sensor,
representing direction North, East, South and West. The Wind direction sensor has to be
adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching our real location. A wind
direction error will be introduced if the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly
during installation.

8000060 Rev 2 15-Nov-18 35

Install wind speed sensor (Anemometer) (if required)

Push the wind cup into the shaft. as shown in figure 3.

Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 4. Make sure the wind speed cups spin
freely.

or the batteries may have been changed in the

remote and the console has not been reset. The
solution may be as simple as powering down and
up the console.

1. Make sure you have fresh batteries in

the display console.
2. With the sensor array and console 10
feet away from each other, remove the
batteries from the display console and
wait 10 seconds. Put the batteries back
in.
3. Do not touch any buttons for several
minutes.

4. The remote sensor search icon will

splash on the display. Wait several
minutes for this icon to turn off.
5. If the search icon turns off and the
outdoor temperature and humidity are
still showing dashes (--), the remote
sensor is defective. If the sensor
properly syncs up, proceed to the next
step “How to prevent intermittent
wireless communication”
How to prevent intermittent wireless
communication issues:
1. Install a fresh set of batteries in the
remote sensor array and console. For
cold weather environments, install
lithium batteries.
2. The maximum line of sight
communication range is 300’ but most
users will get 100’ or less due to
environmental conditions. Move the
sensor and remote closer together.
3. If the sensor assembly is too close (less
than 5’), move the sensor assembly
away from the display console.
4. Make sure the remote sensors are not
transmitting through solid metal like
aluminum siding (acts as an RF shield),
or earth barrier (down a hill).
5. Move the display console around

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do 1. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to
not agree stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor
and outdoor temperature sensors should
agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is ±
2 °F).
2. Perform a temperature calibration (reference
Section 2.1)
Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not 1. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to
agree stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor
and outdoor humidity sensors should agree

2. Perform a humidity calibration (reference
Section 2.1)
Relative pressure does not agree with 1. You may be viewing the relative pressure,
official reporting station not the absolute pressure.
2. Make sure you properly calibrate the
barometer to an official local weather station
(reference Section 2.1)
3. The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08
inHg within the following relative pressure
range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg, which
corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700
feet. At higher altitudes, expect some
non-linearity or error.
Time is incorrect Make sure your time zone and daylight savings time
setting is correct.
The forecast icon is not accurate The weather station console must run for several
days to trend barometric pressure.

The weather forecast is an estimation or

generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to
48 hours, and varies from location to location. The
tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather
conditions and is never to be relied upon as an
accurate method to predict the weather.

Display console contrast is weak Replace console batteries with a fresh set of
batteries.
Data not reporting to 1. Confirm your password or key is correct. It is
Wunderground.com the password you registered on
Wunderground.com. Your
Wunderground.com password cannot begin
with a non-alphanumeric character (a
limitation of Wundeground.com, not the
station). Example, $oewkrf is not a valid
password, but oewkrf$ is valid.

2. Confirm your station ID is correct. The

station ID is all caps, and the most common
issue is substituting an O for a 0 (or visa
versa). Example, KAZPHOEN11, not
KAZPH0EN11

3. Make sure the date and time is correct on

the console. If incorrect, you may be
reporting old data, not real time data.

4. Make sure your time zone is set properly. If

incorrect, you may be reporting old data, not
real time data.

5. Check your router firewall settings. The

console sends data via Port 80.

No WiFi connection 1. Check for WiFi symbol on the display. If

wireless connectivity is successful the WiFi

icon will be displayed in the time field.

2. Make sure your modem WiFi settings are

correct (network name, and password).

3. Make sure the console is plugged into AC

power. The console will not connect to WiFi
when powered by batteries only.

4. The console only supports and connects to

2.4 GHz routers. If you own a 5 GHz router,
and it is a dual band router, you will need to
disable the 5 GHz band, and enable the 2.4
