What This Model Is For
The FT0855 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 changes. It transmits data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link with a range of 100 meters in open air, and supports up to eight sensors for expanded coverage. The console runs on three AAA batteries or a 5.9V/500mA power adapter, while each sensor uses two AAA batteries. All units are tested before shipment to ensure reliable operation in real-world conditions.
- One console manages up to eight sensors, reducing the need for multiple displays
- 60 second transmission interval captures meaningful changes without overwhelming the system
- 100 meter range in open air covers most residential and small commercial sites
- Min/max records auto-clear after 24 hours, keeping data current without manual reset
- Barometric pressure based weather forecast helps anticipate changes without internet

Where It Is Used
- Home and apartment weather displays for users who want real-time indoor and outdoor conditions
- Small garden and greenhouse monitoring where internet access is not available
- Retail and showroom installations needing a self-contained weather display
- Hobbyist and educational projects requiring a low-cost, standalone weather station
- Remote site monitoring in warehouses or storage sheds without network infrastructure
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands launching an own-label weather station without a wireless team
- Distributors replacing a sensor system that fails after one winter due to battery drain or RF drop
- Agricultural suppliers bundling weather data with irrigation or climate control systems
- Integrators needing a battery-powered sensor for locations where cabling is impractical
Problems It Solves
- Weather stations that lose signal beyond 30 meters due to weak RF links
- Sensors that fail after one season due to poor battery life or lack of ageing testing
- Console systems that require manual clearing of min/max data every day
- Lack of barometric forecasting in standalone weather displays
- Inability to expand sensor count without buying a new console
Technical Features
- Measures indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity with separate sensors
- Records min and max values for temperature and humidity over 24 hours
- Barometric pressure based weather forecast with no internet required
- Supports up to eight sensors on the same 433MHz frequency
- Adjustable backlight with three levels for visibility in different lighting
- Time, alarm clock, snooze, and calendar functions built into the console
- Calibration available for temperature and humidity readings
- 60 second transmission interval ensures timely updates without excessive power use

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the indoor console and outdoor sensor
- Weather sealed outdoor enclosure for the sensor body
- Battery compartment sized for 2 x AAA cells in the sensor
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
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and mast mounting
- Smog ageing to check housing and seal durability
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging on request
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery and power adapter configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Wi-Fi weather stations requiring internet and a cloud connection
No internet dependency; data is local and self-contained, but lacks remote app access
vs Wired sensors requiring cable runs to the console
No trenching or cabling needed, but requires battery changes every few months
vs LoRa-based sensors for long-range sites
433MHz is simpler and cheaper for a single property; LoRa is better for large farms or industrial sites
Use Guide
- Place the console indoors, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Mount the sensor at least 1.5 meters above ground, clear of obstructions
- Use lithium AAA batteries in cold climates to maintain performance below freezing
- Pair the sensor with the console before mounting it outside
- Check the sensor housing and battery compartment for debris or moisture at the start of each season
FT0855 RF Weather Station Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
100 meters in open air. Through walls, trees, or a roof, expect around 30 meters, which covers most homes and small gardens.
How often does it update
Every 60 seconds, which is long enough to save battery but short enough to track meaningful changes.
Can I use the power adapter with the sensor
No. The 5.9V/500mA adapter is only for the console. The sensor runs on two AAA batteries.
Can I add more sensors later
Yes. The console supports up to eight sensors. You can add them one at a time as needed.
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.
