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 WeatherSmart Wifi software.

    What to do if Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC data is not reporting to Wunderground.com?
    • B

      It typically takes a few hours for data to start reporting to Weather Underground. Ensure your password or key is correct and that it matches the one you registered on Wunderground.com, noting that it cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character. Also, verify that your station ID is correct, paying close attention to potential substitutions of 'O' for '0' or vice versa. Confirm the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the console to ensure real-time data reporting. Finally, check your router firewall settings, as the console sends data via Port 80.

    What to do if Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station has no WiFi connection?
    • J

      Check for the WiFi symbol on the display; it should appear in the time field if the connection is successful. Verify that your modem WiFi settings (network name and password) are correct. Ensure the console is plugged into AC power, as it won't connect to WiFi on battery power alone. Note that the console only supports 2.4 GHz routers; if you have a dual-band router, disable the 5 GHz band and enable the 2.4 GHz band. Also, the console does not support guest networks.

    Why does Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station temperature sensor read too high in the daytime?
    • S
      Shawn LuceroAug 26, 2025
      This is normal. The sun heats up the sensor array. To mitigate this, shade the temperature sensor located under the rain gauge bucket.

    What to do if Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station relative pressure does not agree with official reporting station?
    • R
      Rachel MillerAug 28, 2025
      First, verify that you are viewing the relative pressure and not the absolute pressure. Ensure you have properly calibrated the barometer to an official local weather station. Keep in mind that the barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg within a relative pressure range of 27.13 to 32.50 inHg, corresponding to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet. Expect some non-linearity or error at higher altitudes.

    What to do if Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station indoor and outdoor temperature do not agree in the same room?
    • P
      Patrick TaylorAug 30, 2025
      Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 4 °F, given the sensor accuracy is ± 2 °F. You can also perform a temperature calibration.

    What to do if Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station indoor and outdoor humidity do not agree in the same room?
    • M
      Michael McdonaldSep 2, 2025
      Give the sensors about an hour to stabilize because of signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should be within 10% of each other, considering the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %. You might also need to perform a humidity calibration.

    What to do if Tycon Systems Weather Station rain gauge isn’t reading rainfall?
    • K
      Karen HamiltonSep 6, 2025
      Remove the black plastic collector bowl from the rain gauge by turning it counterclockwise. Then, inspect the rain gauge mechanism for any obstructions, such as insects or nests. Clean out any obstructions and replace the black plastic collector bowl.

    Mr. Thomas BowmanSep 8, 2025
    Why is Tycon Systems ProWeatherStation TP3000WC Weather Station forecast icon not accurate?
    • C
      clayvictoriaSep 8, 2025
      The weather station console needs to run for several days to trend barometric pressure accurately. The weather forecast is an estimation of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours and varies by location. The tendency is a tool for projecting weather conditions, but it should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction method.

      Joshua RodriguezSep 12, 2025
      Try replacing the console batteries with a fresh set. You may also want to adjust the viewing angle.
