    Other Confirmation tone for touch screen operation can be selected to on or off. Can be desk mounted or wall mounted according to the design. Programmable time for display illumination All important weather information appears at the same time on the display, so that operator intervention is unnecessary for monitoring the weather situation.

  • Page 5: Weather Station Connection Panel, Mounting Arrangements And Battery Compartment

    The indoor/outdoor sensor system of the WS-2510 operates exclusively with wireless radio data transfer. You can set up or mount the sensors up to 300 feet (100 m) (depending on local conditions, see section on “range”) from the base station.

    (opposite the solar cell). To insert the magnet in the WS-2510-16 rain sensor press the upper section against the lower section and turn clockwise. On the housing cover of the electronic housing incorporated into the funnel there is a slot for the small round magnet. The rain sensor starts transmitting after pressing the magnet into the slot.

    This sensor can also be freely addressed for displaying within the display field at the top of the display (see display overview on page 4). All WS-2510-25 sensors are set at the factory to sensor 1. In accordance with section 2.3.4.individual addressing is also possible.

  • Page 9: Information On The Storage Of Solar Cell Powered Outdoor Sensors

    2.3.8 Information on the storage of solar cell powered outdoor sensors These sensors receive their operating voltage from a solar cell that charges an internal battery to provide power for periods of darkness and bad weather. If one of these sensors is out of action for some time and does not receive any light this has no affect on the internal battery, provided the magnets designed to activate the operating voltage are removed.

  • Page 10: General Settings

    3.1.1. General settings Illumination settings To switch on the illumination, press any touch screen field on the display. The illumination will now remain switched on for the programmed time (after the last key press). As standard, the illumination is active for 10s with battery operation and continuously on when using the AC power adaptor.

  • Page 11: Illumination Time For Ac Adaptor Operation

    Illumination time for AC adaptor operation The illumination time for AC adaptor operation (“line”) is displayed in the “LIGHT” field (touch screen field 1). A setting here is only meaningful when the weather station is powered by means of the AC adaptor power supply. The time displayed shows in hours and minutes how long the display is to remain lit after the last touch screen field has been pressed.

  • Page 12: Calibration Of The Rainfall Reading Indicator

    Calibration of the rainfall reading indicator The rainfall measuring system is delivered with a very high accuracy, so that normally no calibration is required. A calibration only becomes necessary when very high accuracy is required for professional use or for special purposes.

  • Page 13: Air Pressure Display Unit

    Setting the air pressure display units The display units for air pressure are shown in touch screen field 11 on the right hand side next to the air pressure value. The factory setting is hPa. By touching field 11 the display units can be switched between hPa, mmHg or inHg. Keypad beep on/off The keypad beep can be switched on (Sound on) or off (Sound off) by touching field 12.

  • Page 14: Configuration

    The seconds are automatically set to zero. The WWVB reception can also be switched on or off by means of the “WWVB” touch screen field as long as the time is flashing (radio mast symbol on or off respectively). In addition, it now possible to select the display format for the time, date and day of the week between military and standard format using the “12/24h”...

  • Page 15: Normal Display Function

    3.2. Normal display function The diagram below shows an example of the normal weather station display. In the following description of the individual display fields, the meaning of the display is always explained first and in some cases the necessary operating actions followed by any available key functions so that you can get a quick overview of the display and control options for each value.

  • Page 16: Wind Measurement

    3.2.1.2. Outdoor sensors (fields 3 to 6) The top right hand field of the display is associated with the outdoor wireless sensors for temperature/humidity. It displays the following information from left to right: 1. Tendency arrow symbols: Indication of the tendency of the temperature at the location of the selected outdoor sensor compared with the last value received: rising (arrow pointing upwards) or falling (arrow pointing downwards).

  • Page 17: Rainfall Measurement

    4. Here, the “Graph” symbol shows that the trend display for the wind direction has been selected in the history field. It only appears if it has previously been selected (see 3.2.6.:“History”). The trend can be displayed in km/h, m/s, mph or knots.

  • Page 18: Weather Forecast

    3. Here, the “Graph” symbol shows that the trend display for the air pressure has been selected in the history field. It only appears if it has previously been selected (see section on “History ”). If the air pressure history is active, then the tendency indicator for the development of the air pressure will also appear next to it on the right.

  • Page 19: Hours Of Sunshine

    Please note: With temperature and pressure, the history is shown referred to the current value. Here the display can optionally be in the form of a bar or line diagram according to the setting in the configuration mode. With humidity, wind speed, rainfall, hours of sunshine (8-day trend only) and brightness, the history is shown as the absolute value with the bottom line as the zero reference.

  • Page 20: Time/Date

    3.2.9. Time/Date The display field for the time/date is situated at the bottom center of the display: 24h format 12h format 1. The time is displayed in hours and minutes and the date with the day of the week, day and month. Seconds are indicated by the two flashing dots.
  • Page 21 Example for the display of minimum values. Display min/max values The display mode is selected by touching the appropriate field “MAX” (field 27) or “MIN” (field 25). The particular touch screen field activated (MIN or MAX) will be faded out. Both titles are only visible in normal display mode. If the touch screen field for a value is then pressed, the time of the occurrence associated with this value will be displayed in the time/date field (20/21) for 10s.
  • Page 22 3.4. Programming mode (entering alarm values) You can program the weather station so that an audible-visible alarm occurs when certain minimum or maximum values are reached. As well as this, daily wake-up times can be programmed so that the weather station can also be used as an alarm clock or an appointment reminder.
  • Page 23 3.4.2. Setting/Resetting the MIN/MAX alarm values After activating one of the alarm value displays (MIN or MAX), touch the value field for which the alarm value is to be set. The value will flash and the lower control field will change to the following form: The flashing value can be adjusted using the “-”...
  • Page 24 3.4.4. Alarm initiation, Alarm reset If the measured value exceeds or falls below one of the set alarm values, the display will go off and the alarm value in question together with the text “ALARM” and the appropriate high or low deviation (MAX or MIN) will be displayed. At the same time, an intermittent alarm tone will sound.

  • Page 25: Changing Batteries

    After changing the batteries, the weather station will be re-initialized, all stored settings will be lost and will have to be re-entered. Wireless sensors WS-2510-20, WS-2510-22, WS-2510-27 The batteries in these sensors have a life of up to three years (alkaline batteries).

  • Page 26: Range

    Rotate the weather station a little if required, and if reception is bad, locate it away from electric motors, electrical machines, televisions, computer monitors and large metal surfaces. To facilitate commissioning you can initially locate the sensors in the vicinity of the base unit (at least 6 feet or 2 m distance).
