    5. SETTING UP THE WEATHER STATION CAUTION: Great care must be taken when mounting the Home Weather Station components. The manufacturer/supplier can not be held liable for personal or property damage when setting up the components. Please use caution when choosing a mounting point.
  • Page 7 Mounting Wind Sensor First, choose whether the wind sensor will be mounted vertically or horizontally (on a mast). Make sure that you position the wind sensor in a free, open area that is not protected by objects, which may distort or interfere with the wind (e.g.
  • Page 8 Horizontal Mounting Cable Preparation for Horizontal Mounting 1. Run the cable that is already fastened to the wind sensor through the horizontal joining section (see below). 2. Run the cable through the extension pole but do not secure the pole to any sections yet. 3.
  • Page 9 Mounting Rain Sensor It is important that the rain sensor has the correct exposure to ensure accurate rainfall measurements. Place the rain sensor as far away as possible from tall buildings, trees or other obstructions. It is suggested that the rain sensor should be no closer to tall objects or obstructions than twice the height of the object compared to the sensor.

  • Page 10: Connecting The Sensors

    You must insert the cables that run from the outdoor sensors into the corresponding sockets on the thermometer- transmitter before you begin to power up your home weather station. 1. You will see two sockets: one for the wind sensor, another for the rain sensor.

  • Page 11: Changing The Transmitter Batteries

    Power Adaptor: a special transmitter adaptor is available to supply power to the transmitter rather than using batteries. It is a perfect solution for your HWS during extremely cold temperatures in the winter months when batteries may cause problems. Please call 1-800-387-8520 for ordering information. Once the batteries have been inserted in the transmitter, 8.

    11. SETTING THE HOME MONITOR NOTE: If you pause at any time for more than 7 seconds while setting the time, date, or measurement preferences, the Home Monitor will automatically return to “normal display mode” and exit the “set display mode” . Your inputted information will be saved, however, you must start from step one if you did not complete the settings you intended to input.

Your inputted information will be saved, however, you must start from step one if you did not complete setting the alarms you intended to do.

  • Page 17: Minimum Or Maximum Memory Recall

    16. RAINFALL MEASUREMENT RESET The Home Weather Station calculates cumulative rainfall. To reset the rainfall reading, press and hold the “+” button for 4 or more seconds. “- - -” (dashes) will appear to indicate that the rainfall has reset. After about 128 seconds, the reading will return to 0.0 cm (or 0.0 inch).

  • Page 18: Weather Forecasting

    • The forecast function in the Home Weather Station is based solely on barometric pressure and the trend recordings of general weather conditions associated with various pressure levels. It therefore has a limited ability to forecast for the multitude of specific conditions it will encounter.

This proves that the transmitter should not be sent back because it is diagnosed as faulty** Transmission issues usually cause this to occur from other appliances or Wind speed too high radio waves in the air.
  • Page 29 The LCD screen works from other directions, but it is best to consider the Optimum Viewing Angle (Section 9). Battery consumption The Home Weather station requires constant battery power to accurately scan outdoor weather readings. The wind speed sensor and the 60 meters transmission is the main cause of power consumption. In normal temperature ranges (50°F to 80°F, 10°C to 25°C), you can expect that the 4 x...
