About this manual

Thank you and congratulations on selecting this professional weather station! We are positive
you will enjoy the benefits of accurate weather readings and the precise radio controlled time
information that our instruments offer.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual to
become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future reference.
Glossary of Common Terms
DCF/WWVB/MSF
The DCF, WWVB or MSF time signal is an AM modulated time-of-day signal broadcasted by
the Federal Government of Germany, NIST from USA or National Physical Laboratory. The
time base is generated from an atomic time generator which is accurate to 10 billions of one
second. This weather station uses WWVB only.
LCD
"LCD" is an acronym for "Liquid Crystal Display". This is a common type of display screen
used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this
measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don't actually feel the barometric
pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air
pressure is the absolute air pressure adjusted for altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International
System (SI) of measurement.
Important Note:
The Professional weather station includes a base station (receiver), a transmitter unit with
solar sensor, one wind direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable
and a PC software package on CD-ROM.
An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed
time and weather data on a PC through a USB connection..
