Note:
When putting the Weather Center into operation, it is important to
perform in close proximity (e.g. on a table) a complete wiring and set-up
of the system. This step is important to test all components for correct
function before placing and mounting them at their final destinations
(See Positioning below). Spin the wind vane and tip the rain gauge to
test.
1.
Unwind the cables of the Wind sensor. Connect the Wind sensor
to the Thermo-hygro transmitter by plugging the connector head
into the socket of the Thermo-hygro sensor. Cord should “click”
into place.

2.
First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and Rain
sensor “How to install and replace the batteries into the
Thermo-hygro sensor“ and “How to install and replace the
batteries into the Rain sensor” below).
3.
Then insert the batteries into the Weather Center (see “How to
install and replace the batteries into the Weather Center”
below). Once the batteries are installed, all segments of the LCD
will light up briefly and a short signal tone will be heard. It will then
display the time as 12:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather icons,
and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor data.
4.
Afterwards, the Weather Center will start receiving data from the
transmitter. The transmission reception icon will be blinking to
indicate that the station is trying to get the thermo-hygro
transmitter data. The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data
should then be displayed on the Weather Center. If this does not
happen after 135 seconds, the batteries will need to be removed
from all units. You will have to start again from step 2.
5.
The transmitter reception icon is now blinking again to indicate
that the station is trying to get the rain sensor data. It will stop
blinking once the rain sensor has been detected. If this does not
happen after 135 seconds, you will need to start again from step 2.
6.
You may need to check the cable for correct connection and all
the components for correct function by manually turning the wind-

If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency
•
(915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz
and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful,
the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be
done for re-synchronization.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO
THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR
The outdoor Thermo-hygro sensor works with
2 x AA, IEC LR6 1.5V batteries. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps
below:
1.
Uninstall the rain cover of the transmitter.
2.
Remove the battery compartment cover.
3.
Insert the batteries, observing the correct
polarity (see the marking in the battery
compartment).
4.
Replace the battery cover.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be
reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random
security code is assigned by the thermo-hygro sensor at start-up and
this code must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first
several minutes of power being supplied to it.

The rain sensor works with 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. To install
and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1.
Press tabs back to unlock rain sensor cover. (Figure 1)
2.
Lift rain sensor cover to access battery compartment. (Figure 2)
3.
Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see the
marking in the battery compartment). (Figure 3)

impact of the internal moving seesaw, etc. (see Positioning
below).

Time and date shall be manually set (See Manual Setting below).
8.
After the Weather Center has been checked for correct function
with regard to the above points and found fit, the initial set up of
the weather station system is finished and the mounting of the
system components can take place. It must be ensured however
that all components work properly together at their chosen
mounting or standing locations. If e.g. there appear to be
problems with the 915 MHz radio transmission, they can be
overcome by slightly changing the mounting locations or turning
the base station.
Note:
The radio communication between the receiver and the transmitters in
the open field reaches distances of max 330 feet, provided there are no
interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage
lines, etc.
9.
Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV sets can
in some cases entirely cut off radio communication. Please
consider this when choosing standing or mounting locations.
Note :
After batteries are installed in the transmitter, install the batteries
•
in the weather center to receive the signal from the transmitters as
soon as possible. If the weather center is powered more than 5
hours after the transmitter is powered, the weather center will
never receive signal successfully from the transmitters. In this
case, user will need to reinstall the batteries from all the
transmitters to redo set-up procedure.
After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between
•
weather center and the transmitters. At this time, the signal
reception icon will be blinking. When the signal is successfully
received by the weather center, the icon will be switched on. (If it
is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user
can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on)
or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon
shows that a reception is in progress.

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be
reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random
security code is assigned by the rain sensor at start-up and this code
must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first several
minutes of power being supplied to it.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO
THE WEATHER CENTER
The Weather Center works with 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When
the batteries need to be replaced, the low battery symbol will appear on
the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps
below:
1.
Remove the battery
compartment cover.
2.
Insert the batteries observing
the correct polarity (see the
marking in the battery
compartment).
3.
Replace the battery cover.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 24 months
to ensure optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the
environment. Return used batteries to an authorized
depot.
Note:
The stored History record will not be kept after the battery change is
done on the Weather Center.
