Initial Operation - Conrad Electronic WS 1600 Operating Instructions Manual

Initial operation

Prior to final commissioning, wire and set the entire system in its later configuration
on a table indoors, for example. This measure also serves to test individual appliance
parts for their correct function prior to final installation and placement at the installa-
tion site.
1. First establish the connection between the rain and wind
sensor and the thermal hygro outdoor transmitter by
plugging the plugs of both sensors into the correspond-
ing socket of the thermal hygro outdoor sensor.
- Socket RAIN for the rain sensor
- Socket WIND for the wind sensor
2. First, insert the batteries into the thermal hygro outdoor transmitter! See the chap-
ter „Battery exchange".
3. Then insert the batteries in the basis appliances. See the chapter „Battery
exchange".
As soon as the batteries are inserted, all segments on the LC display light up
briefly and a signal sounds (not with the temperature station). The the time (0:00),
the date (1.1.05), the weather symbols and the air pressure are displayed.
4. Afterwards, the weather station starts to receive data from the outdoor sensors
and display them on the LC display. If the outdoor temperature, the outdoor
humidity, the wind chill and wind speed are not displayed after approx. 30 sec-
onds, you once again have to remove all batteries from the units and repeat the
process starting at point 1.
5. Check the cables for proper connection and the individual functions by manually
turning the wind wheel, moving the weather flag, tilting the rain sensor until the
contact controller audibly snaps into place, etc.
6. The time and the date must be set manually! See the chapter „Setting the time and
the date"
7. After you checked the correct function of the weather station in accordance with
the above points and everything works correctly, you can start assembling the indi-
vidual components. Make sure that the components interact correctly at the instal-
lation site! Should there be transmission problems with the 868 MHz radio connec-
tion, for example, shifting the installation site easily solves this problem in most
cases.
