Thermo-Hygro Sensor
Battery Cover
Sensor sockets
1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the three
sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor and the base station)
2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to the correspond-
ing sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking them into place
3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located below the
three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries and close the
cover
4) Open the base station's battery cover located at the back of the unit and
insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment and
close the battery cover
Setting up using the AC adaptor:
1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using batteries above
2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and power
up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack into the DC 6.0V socket
located on the side of the base station
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after a
change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this code must
be synchronized with the base station to receive weather data.
When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD
segments will light up for about 5 seconds before it enters into a 15 minute
learning mode to learn the sensors security code. After the learning mode (or
by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base station will start the
WWVB radio controlled time reception.
Note for WWVB Radio Controlled Time:
The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the highly accu-
rate government operated atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado. This radio-
controlled clock does not only provide for the weather station's time and date
display but also functions as the time and date source for all of this weather
station's memory and history values using time and date information.
LCD backlight:
When using the power adaptor, the LCD backlight is switched on continuously.
Under battery operation, the LCD backlight is switched on for 15 seconds
intervals when any key is pressed.
