SETTING UP:
Wireless transmission
at 915 MHz - thermo-
hygro and rain sensor
to the Weather Center
Rain sensor
Cable connection between the wind
sensor and the thermo-hygro sensor
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.
Sockets for wind sensor
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 00:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather icons, and air pressure
value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor data.
