  • Page 4 within 80 seconds, remove the batteries from both units for 2 minutes and start again from step 1. Allow the weather station and the transmitter to remain 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes after set up to establish a strong connection. To ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission after set up, the distance between the transmitter mounted outside and the weather station inside should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) distance (open air, no obstructions).

  • Page 20: Weather Tendency Indicator

    Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

    Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD. AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND) The right side of the second section on the LCD shows the air pressure history bar graph. Air pressure unit in inHg Air pressure trend over the last 12 hours The bar graph indicates the air pressure history trend over the past 12 hours in 7...
  • Page 22 Note:  For accurate barometric pressure trends, the weather station should operate at the same altitude for recordings (i.e. it should not be moved from the ground to the second floor of the house). When the unit is moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12 hours. DISPLAY OF INDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY DATA The indoor temperature and humidity are measured automatically and displayed on the first section of the LCD.

  • Page 24: Low Battery Indicators

    LOW BATTERY INDICATORS Low battery indicator will show on the LCD when the batteries of weather station or transmitter require changing. THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER The reception distance of the thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.
  • Page 25 reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 330 feet / 100 meters from the transmitter to the weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
  • Page 26 Note: Always ensures that the unit locks onto the screw head before releasing. POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER: The thermo-hygro transmitter can be placed on any flat surface or wall mount using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base. To wall mount: Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
  • Page 27: Care And Maintenance

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE:  Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.  When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
