What This Model Is For
The FT0340 RF Weather Station is a complete, self-contained system with an indoor console and an integrated outdoor sensor that measures temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and weather forecast. It transmits data every 16 seconds over a 433MHz link with a 100m range in open air, and uses solar assist to extend battery life. The outdoor sensor is a single unit with a solar panel that supplements the three AA batteries, not a charger. It is designed for brands and integrators who need a full weather station with a single supplier and no RF or firmware development cost.
- Integrated outdoor sensor with solar assist reduces battery replacement frequency
- 16 second transmission interval ensures real-time wind and rainfall updates
- 433MHz link reaches 100m in open air without a gateway or cabling
- All sensor data is displayed on one console, including forecast and moon phase
- Manual calibration of all readings allows for site-specific tuning
Where It Is Used
- Rooftop and garden weather stations sold under a distributor's own brand
- Agricultural monitoring where wind and rainfall data guide irrigation decisions
- Marina and leisure facility displays for boaters and pool operators
- HVAC and building services monitoring for indoor comfort and pressure trends
- School and visitor centre installations needing a full weather display
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands launching an own-label weather station without an RF team
- Distributors replacing a weather station that failed after one season due to battery drain
- Agricultural integrators bundling weather data with irrigation or climate control
- Integrators who need a battery-powered sensor because trenching is not feasible
Problems It Solves
- Weather stations that require a separate RF module and firmware development
- Battery-only outdoor sensors that need replacement every 3-6 months in summer
- RF links that fail beyond 30m, especially through walls or foliage
- Console systems that cannot display wind gusts or rainfall totals in real time
- Sensors that report average values instead of peak conditions during storms
Technical Features
- Integrated outdoor sensor with solar panel, 433MHz transmission, and 16s update cycle
- Measures outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, barometric pressure
- Displays indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, dew point, feels like, and weather forecast
- Supports 12/24 hour time, calendar, alarm, snooze, and backlight adjustment
- Manual calibration for temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and rainfall
- Solar panel provides auxiliary power, not battery charging, to extend battery life

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the outdoor sensor body
- Integrated solar panel on the sensor top
- Weather sealed battery compartment sized for 3 x AA cells
How It Is Made
Sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Outdoor sensor housing is sealed and tested on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit undergoes final ageing test before packing
Console and sensor are paired and tested before shipping
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled outdoor sensor
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and mast loading
- Smog ageing to verify housing and seal integrity
- Final ageing test on every unit before packaging
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging
- Console firmware pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery and solar configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Separate indoor console and outdoor sensor units
One integrated sensor reduces mounting complexity and eliminates a second RF link
vs Wired weather stations
No cable run required, but with a 100m range ceiling and battery dependency
vs LoRa-based weather stations
433MHz is lower cost and sufficient for a single property; LoRa is better for multi-site or long-range deployments
Use Guide
- Mount the outdoor sensor clear of obstructions, ideally 2m above ground
- Align the sensor direction marking to true north before securing the mast
- Use lithium batteries for sites that drop below freezing
- Pair the sensor with the console before mounting it outdoors
- Clear debris from the rain collector and wind cups at the start of each season
FT0340 RF Weather Station Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
100m in open air. Through walls, foliage, or a roof, plan for around 30m, which covers a typical house and garden.
How often does it update
Every 16 seconds, which is short enough to capture gusts and rainfall spikes without averaging them out.
Does the solar panel charge the batteries
No. The solar panel supplies power during daylight and reduces battery drain, but the batteries remain the primary power source.
Can it work with a console we already sell
If that console uses the UCTECH 433MHz protocol, yes. Send us the model and we will confirm before you order.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
Which certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
