Operation Using Cable Connection Or Wireless 433Mhz - La Crosse Technology WS-2306 Operation Manual

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 wall outlet
first 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.
E.L. backlight:
When using the power adaptor or under battery operation, the E.L.
backlight will switch on for 15 seconds when any button is pressed.

Operation using cable connection or wireless 433MHz

Cable Connection:
Using this method of operation will provide interference free transfer
of the weather data from the sensors to the base station. The data
sending interval from the sensors to the base station will also be more
frequent compared to using 433MHz transmission and will result in
higher power consumption. Therefore batteries will have a shorter life
span for cable connection compared to using 433MHz.
To operate using cable connection, simply use the enclosed 10 metre
cable and connect the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station. Once
the connection is detected, the base station will automatically
continue reading the data from the sensor.
The user may at any time switch from cable connection to using
433MHz (or vice versa) by simply disconnecting (or connecting) the
cable from the base station to the sensor. When the base station
detects no cable connection to the sensors, the base station will
automatically change to using 433 MHz for reception of the weather
data from the sensors.
The data receiving intervals are as follows:
Using cable connection data is updated every 8 seconds.
-
Using wireless 433 MHz data is updated from 16 to 128 second
-
intervals depending on wind speed and rain activity.
