Page 4: Section 1: Weatherbug System Overview
Educational Lessons Figure 1 - WeatherBug System Schematic The WeatherBug Weather Station is located outdoors, usually on a rooftop or in an open, unobstructed area to obtain best results. The Weather Station includes a Wind Sensor to monitor the wind, a Rain Gauge to measure liquid precipitation, a photocell to measure light and a Sensor Shelter which houses the Temperature/Relative Humidity (TRH) sensors. - Page 5 Rainfall .02 cm *WeatherBug Weather Station records wind speeds well in excess of 99 mph or 99 km/h, and will show these higher values in the computer software. For more information on sensor specifications, see “WeatherBug System Installation, Operations and...

SECTION 2: Installing the Digital Display As shown in Figure 1, your Digital Display must be connected to the overall WeatherBug Weather Station through the Master Control Unit (MCU). This section of the manual will describe the steps necessary to install and connect your display to the MCU. -
Page 7: Installing The Digital Display
A MCU can power up to 10 displays totaling 700 feet (ie. 10 x70 feet = 700 feet). Additional displays can easily be purchased from your WeatherBug Representative by calling 1-800-544-4429. 2.3 Installing the Digital Display Once you have chosen a site to place your Digital Display, the final installation is relatively simple. -

Pressing the "Select" button again will cause the display to be fixed on the value it was displaying at the time. If the time and/or date indicated is incorrect, please call WeatherBug Weather Station Technical Support at (800) 624-4205 to have Technical Support remotely set the time and date. - Page 11 3.3 and 3.4 of this manual. Temperature The WeatherBug Weather Station includes three temperature sensors. The outdoor temperature sensor is located outdoors in the Sensor Shelter. The Indoor Temperature Sensor located within the MCU. The location of the Optional Auxiliary Temperature Sensor may vary from site to site.
- Page 12 Digital Display Manual By default, the Digital Display will cycle between the indoor, outdoor and auxiliary temperature (about three seconds per value). Three small circular indicator lights are located to the right of the temperature readout box, labeled "Indoor", "Outdoor", and "Aux". These lights indicate which temperature value is currently being displayed.
- Page 13 Rainfall The WeatherBug Weather Station monitors and records daily, monthly and yearly rainfall totals. The rainfall readout box on the Digital Display is located in the lower right region of the unit. Rainfall values can be displayed in the English units of degrees inches (in) or the Metric units of centimeters (cm).
- Page 14 The number in the readout box indicates the speed of that wind. The WeatherBug Weather Station also computes the average wind speed and direction over a two-minute period. Since wind speed and direction often change significantly in short periods of time the averaged values provide a better indication of the predominant conditions.

Page 15: Changing Display Units
To change the English wind speed units from miles per hour (mph) to knots or vice versa, you must send the display unit back to WeatherBug Technical Support via an RMA. Please call WeatherBug Weather Station Technical Support at 800-624-4205 for assistance. -
