  • Page 2 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the BRESSER Weather Center. The weather center consists of a main console unit with a remote control, as well as an assortment of remote sensors which collect and transmit a wide range of weather data, including outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rain amount and rain rate.

  • Page 3: Weather Forecast

    All data collected by the sensors are transmitted to the main console unit by wireless RF, with a range up to 100 meters (open area). The weather center supports a maximum of 5 thermo-hygrometers, allowing 5 channels of temperature/humidity display.

  • Page 6: Setting Up The Remote Weather Sensors

    Installing your Weather Center Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first. When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally, they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.

  • Page 7: Setting Up The Anemometer (Wind Sensor)

    Placement Tips: - The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls, fences, trees and other coverings which may either reduce the amount of rainfall into the sensor, deflect the entry of wind- blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may also be sources of pollen and debris. - To avoid rain shadow effects, place the sensor at a horizontal distance corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
