What This Model Is For
The FT0852 RF Weather Station is a complete indoor console and outdoor sensor system that measures indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, records min/max values over 24 hours, and forecasts weather based on barometric pressure trends. It transmits data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link with a 100-meter range in open air, supporting up to eight sensors. The console runs on three AAA batteries or a 5.9V/500mA power adapter, while each sensor uses two AAA batteries. The system is designed for brands needing a ready-to-ship weather station with a proven RF link and built-in data logging.
- 433MHz transmission reaches 100 meters in open air without a gateway or cabling
- Supports up to eight sensors, allowing expansion across a site without redesign
- Min/max records auto-clear after 24 hours, reducing data clutter
- Barometric pressure trend forecasting helps predict weather changes
- Console runs on batteries or a power adapter, offering flexible deployment

Where It Is Used
- Rooftop and garden weather stations for consumer electronics brands with own-label requirements
- Horticultural greenhouses needing indoor and outdoor humidity tracking
- Distributors replacing a sensor system that fails after one season due to battery drain
- Schools and visitor centres using the console as a public display with alarm and calendar
- Remote monitoring of barns, sheds, or storage units where wired sensors are not feasible
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands launching an own-label weather station without an RF team
- Distributors replacing a sensor that fails in rain or high humidity
- Agricultural integrators needing a low-cost, expandable sensor network
- Building services teams monitoring indoor and outdoor conditions in a single unit
- Marine and leisure equipment suppliers bundling weather data with docking or storage systems
Problems It Solves
- Sensors that fail after one season due to poor sealing or battery drain
- RF links that drop out beyond 30 meters, requiring a gateway or cabling
- Systems that cannot record min/max values over 24 hours without manual reset
- Console displays that lack barometric trend forecasting for weather prediction
- Single sensor systems that cannot scale across a property without redesign
Technical Features
- Indoor temperature and humidity sensing from 0 to 60 degrees C and 10 to 99 percent RH
- Outdoor temperature and humidity sensing from -40 to 60 degrees C and 10 to 99 percent RH
- Min/max records for temperature and humidity, auto-clearing after 24 hours
- Barometric pressure trend forecasting for weather prediction
- Time, alarm clock, snooze, and calendar functions on the console
- Three levels of adjustable backlight for visibility in low light
- 60-second transmission interval for timely updates without overloading the RF link
- Support for up to eight sensors, expandable across a site
- Calibration of temperature and humidity readings on the console

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the indoor console
- Moulded plastic housing for the outdoor sensor
- Battery compartment sized for 2 x AAA cells in the sensor and 3 x AAA cells in the console
How It Is Made
Console and sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Housings are sealed and checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Each unit is aged before packing to verify long-term stability
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor and console
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and site mounting
- Smog ageing to verify housing and seal integrity
- Final ageing test on every unit before packaging
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging on request
- Console firmware configured to match a customer’s existing protocol
- Alternative battery or power adapter configurations available
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Wired weather stations
No cable run required, but the sensor relies on batteries and has a 100m range ceiling
vs Wi-Fi weather stations
No router dependency or network setup, but data is limited to 433MHz range
vs LoRa-based weather stations
433MHz is simpler and lower cost; LoRa is better for long-range or multi-site deployments
Use Guide
- Mount the outdoor sensor clear of walls and obstructions, ideally 1.5 meters above ground
- Place the console indoors, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Insert 3 x AAA batteries into the console or connect the included power adapter
- Fit 2 x AAA batteries into each sensor before first use
- Pair the sensors with the console before mounting the sensor outdoors
- Calibrate temperature and humidity readings using the console menu if needed
FT0852 RF Weather Station Questions
What is the real range between the console and sensor
100 meters in open air. Through walls, trees, or a roof, expect around 30 meters, which covers a typical house and garden.
How often does it update
Every 60 seconds, which balances timely data with battery life and RF stability.
Can I use lithium batteries instead of alkaline
Yes, lithium AAA cells are compatible and recommended for cold climates or long-term use.
How many sensors can I connect
The console supports up to eight sensors, which can be placed across a property.
What certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the 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.
