Weather Station
The base station measures the indoor environment of its surrounding
area and receives weather data from the following three outdoor sen-
sors:
1)
2)
3)
The received data is continuously updated to bring you the latest
weather information on the base station's LCD. The thermo-hygro
sensor is the main data communication unit since both the wind and
rain sensors are connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for operating
power and rely on it to communicate to the base station. Weather
data sent from the thermo-hygro sensor can be done by wireless
433MHz transmission (up to 25 meters in open space) or by cable
connection.
Using the enclosed 2 meter computer cable and CD-ROM, you can
install the Heavy Weather software to your PC and upload all the
received weather data from the base station.
weather information from your PC and upload up to 175 sets of re-
corded weather data by the base station and generate useful statis-
tics and charts onto your spreadsheets (175 sets of data is stored in
the base even if the PC is switched OFF). The software itself does
not set any limits as to how many data sets that can be transferred to
PC.
This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC. There

are no tedious requirements to turn your PC ON or OFF, simply con-
