Getting started

NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensors before the base station matching the polarities (+ and -).

NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.

Set up remote wind sensor

The wind sensor takes wind speed and direction readings.

The sensor is battery operated. It is capable of transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an approximate operating range of 100 meters (328 feet).

To insert batteries:

2

1

1.Unscrew the anemometer from the wind sensor carefully.

2.Insert batteries matching the polarities (+ / -) and replace the anemometer. Press RESET after each battery change.

Set up remote temperature / humiditY sensor

4.Insert sensor into the casing, twist and click to the right to secure.

5.Slide temperature and humidity sensor onto the smaller end of the sensor connector.

Set up rain gauge

The rain gauge collects rain and takes rainfall readings. The sensor can remotely transmit data to the base station.

To set up the rain gauge:

12

1.Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards motion.

2.Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery change.

3

3. Remove the fibre tape.

Set up base station

NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensors before the base station matching the polarities (+ and -).

For continuous use, please install the AC adaptor. The batteries are for back-up use only.

NOTE Make sure the adaptor is not obstructed and is easily accessible to the unit.

NOTE The base station and adaptor should not be exposed to wet conditions. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be placed on the base station and adaptor.

WMR180, WMR180A specifications

The Oregon Scientific WMR180A and WMR180 are innovative weather stations designed for both amateur meteorologists and weather enthusiasts. These devices offer a comprehensive approach to tracking environmental conditions, making them a valuable addition to any home or office.

One of the standout features of the WMR180A and WMR180 is their ability to monitor a wide range of weather parameters. Users can check real-time data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, and barometric pressure. This multitude of metrics allows users to have a holistic view of their local weather conditions, which can be particularly useful for planning outdoor activities, gardening, or understanding microclimates.

The design of the WMR180A and WMR180 is user-friendly, featuring an easy-to-read LCD screen complete with intuitive icons that simplify data interpretation. The display is designed to clearly show key information at a glance, ensuring that users can quickly access the data they need without navigating complex menus.

Another significant feature is the wireless technology used in these models. The sensors communicate with the main unit through a 433 MHz wireless signal, which ensures accurate and reliable transmission of data from the outdoor sensors to the indoor display unit. This wireless capability allows for greater flexibility in sensor placement, making it easy to position the various sensors around the property to capture the most accurate environmental readings.

Additionally, the WMR180A and WMR180 include advanced features such as memory for historical data, allowing users to track changes over time. This data can be vital for understanding weather patterns and trends in a particular area. Some models even come equipped with software compatible with Windows, enabling users to analyze their data on a computer.

Moreover, both models are built with durability in mind. The outdoor sensors are designed to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring they remain operational even in tough environments.

Overall, the Oregon Scientific WMR180A and WMR180 combine advanced technology with user-friendly features, making them ideal for those passionate about weather monitoring and environmental science. With their extensive capabilities, these weather stations represent an excellent investment for anyone looking to gain insight into the complexities of local weather.
