Commissioning Measured Value Transmitter; Indoor Radio Sensor With Air Pressure; Wind Radio Sensor - La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Software Manual

Commissioning Measured Value Transmitter

The weather station sensor concept is based on two groups of sensors. The
basic requirement to operate the weather station is the indoor radio sensor with
barometric atmospheric pressure. This sensor transmits a fixed data telegram
which defines the display of the temperature and relative humidity in the display
area for indoor values. Therefore, the sensor need not be addressed by the user
and is immediately ready for use.
The radio rainfall measuring system and wind radio sensor have fixed address-
es and belong to this group since their measured values also have a fixed loca-
tion in the system.
The second group of sensors is comprised of all the other temperature/humidity
sensors which can transmit up to 16 different temperature/humidity values. Each
of these sensors can be assigned an individual name in the software (e.g. loca-
tion of the sensor). In this case, each respective sensor must be allocated a
unique address which simultaneously defines its position in the polling sequence.
Observe the relevant notes on addressing in respect of these three types.

Indoor radio sensor with air pressure

The indoor radio sensor with air pressure requires 2 round cell batteries in order
to operate. It contains temperature, humidity and air pressure sensors. The data
from it always appears in the indoor display window of the weather display. It
measures the indoor temperature, humidity and air pressure and is the basic
requirement for displaying the air pressure, pressure tendency and pressure
history.
To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment on the rear side of the
housing. Read the information on polarity in the battery compartment and insert
the batteries accordingly. Then close the compartment. The sensor can then be
brought to its installation site. Note that this sensor is not designed for use out-
doors or in rooms with high humidity. The sensor is operational directly after
inserting the batteries.

Wind radio sensor

The wind radio sensor compiles both wind speed and direction at the installation
site. It is supplied with power from a solar cell with a backup battery for periods of
darkness. It is assigned a fixed address which the user cannot manipulate.
It can be installed on a mast or at the top of a wall. The important factor for the
installation site is that the solar cell in the sensor housing faces south and is in
an exposed space, i.e. the wind must be able to approach the sensor from all
sides.
