Page 2: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather Station. Designed for everyday use, the weather station will prove to be an asset of great value for your personal use in the home or office. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly to fully understand the correct operation of your weather station and benefit from its unique features. -
Page 3: Features Of The Wind Sensor
Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature and relative humidity. It also collects the readings from the rain and wind sensors before transmitting the data to the base station by wireless 433MHz or by the 32ft cable included in this set. Features of Wind sensor The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and sends the data to thermo-hygro sensor, which in turn transmits the data to... -
Page 4: Setting Up
Setting up First, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batter- ies for operation. Both these methods allow for operation us- ing wireless 433MHz transmission or cable connection be- tween the base station and the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows: Base Station: Battery compartment... -
Page 5: Operation Using Cable Connection Or Wireless 433Mhz
Setting up using the AC adaptor: Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using batter- ies above Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and power up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack into the DC 6.0V socket located on the side of the base station Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this... -

LCD Overview The following illustration shows the full segments of the LCD for description purposes only and will not appear like this during normal operation and use. Low battery indicator 15. 24h, 1h or total hour display WWVB radio controlled time icon 16. -
Page 7: Mounting
• Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at points of mounting • Radio controlled time signal can be received at the point of mounting NOTE: The WWVB receiver is located in the base station. Base Station With two foldable legs at the back of the unit, the base station can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by the hanging holes also at the back of the unit. -
Page 8: Resetting & Factory Settings
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to the base station The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. -

Indoor humidity alarm 35%RH (low) Outdoor humidity alarm 45%RH (low) Wind chill alarm 50ºF (low) Dew point alarm 32ºF (low) Rainfall 24h alarm 1.96 inches Rainfall 1h alarm 0.03 inches Wind Speed 1.0 mph (low) Wind direction alarm None set Note: All alarm default values are deactivated at the start up and any alarm must be activated by the user otherwise it will not sound. - Page 10 8.85 inHg to 32.45 inHg (standard air pressure at an altitude of 30,000ft is around 8.85 inHg). Relative air pressure is the one value that is calculated back to sea level from the local absolute air pressure and can thus be taken as a reference for weather condition and weather development for the entire country.

Page 11: Operation Keys
Operation keys The base station has 8 keys for easy operation. Please refer to the following table for use and function of each key: Further descriptions of the key functions with regard to their immediate range of applica- tion can be found in the Programming modes: SET - key - In normal mode to enter the manual basic programming mode... -
Page 12: Basic Programming Modes
Basic Programming Modes Manual Setting modes The manual setting mode allows the user to change several basic settings, which is done by accessing one mode after the other simply by pressing the SET key. After the final mode, or if no key is pressed for 30 seconds, the manual setting returns to the normal display mode. -
Page 13: Alarm Programming Modes
When in any of the above modes, press the MIN/MAX key to toggle between the maximum or minimum values of those records and their respective time and dates will also be shown. For the wind and pressure minimum and maximum readings, the same would apply except that the WIND or PRESSURE keys would be used instead of the DISPLAY KEY. - Page 14 4) Press ALARM key to confirm and press the MIN/MAX key to re- turn to the normal display mode or press the ALARM once more to toggle to the indoor temperature low alarm set mode. 5) Press and hold the SET key to enter the indoor temperature low setting values (temperature digits will start flashing) and set the desired indoor temperature low by using the PLUS (+) or MINUS (- ) keys...

Page 17: Auto-Memory For Stored Values
Hysteresis To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to user set level, a hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +77°F and the current value moves to +78°F, the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). -
Page 18: Changing Batteries
Changing batteries: Battery change only in the thermo-hygro-sensor: Open the battery cover Remove the old batteries and insert with new ones of the rec- ommended type and replace the cover Once the sensor is powered up, press and hold the PLUS (+) key for approx. -
Page 19: Transmission Range
Transmission Range The transmission distance from the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station in open space under optimum conditions is 100ft. Although the signal transmission may travel though solid surfaces or objects, the following points should be avoided if possible: High frequency interferences of any kind. - Page 20 Measuring Range Air Pressure Resolution Relative humidity checking interval Alarm duration Power consumption Base Station Batteries or AC power Thermo-hygro sensor Battery life using 433MHz: : approximately 12 months (alkaline batteries recom- mended) Battery life using cable connection : approximately 6 months (alkaline batteries recom- mended) Dimensions (L x W x H):...
