General information and function

The touch screen wireless weather station WDC7000 is a high-quality, extremely
user-friendly universal weather measuring system that can record, process and
display data from up to 8 external wireless temperature and humidity sensors, as
well as from a combination sensor, over a distance of up to 300 m (open air range).
The weather sensors for inside temperature, indoor humidity and barometric
pressure are already built into the weather station, so no external sensors are
required.
What is exceptional about this weather station is its operating concept. It does
not rely on any conventional control elements; rather, it is operated solely via a
touch-sensitive, large-format screen (touch screen) and simple menu structures.
It is also very easy to teach-in the weather sensors. Weather data can be retrieved
from the combination sensor in real time: simply tap the relevant display field to
start the data retrieval process (bi-directional wireless technology). This enables
you to always have up-to-date information at your fingertips. In "live mode", the
combination sensor can also be prompted to send its measured data at 2 second
intervals for 20 seconds. In this way you can track the wind direction and velocity,
for example, in real time for 20 seconds.
The display can be illuminated constantly or for a specific length of time so that
it remains clearly visible in almost all lighting conditions. The glass base of the
device and its transparent, cutting-edge surround are also illuminated.
An integrated radio controlled clock ensures that an accurate time is displayed
and that data is recorded precisely.
The weather station is also ideally suited for long-term monitoring because of
the large internal memory. A total of 3000 records can be stored in the integrated
memory. These records can be read out on a PC (via a USB port), where they can
be clearly analysed and visualised using the "WeatherPro Edition 2007" analysing
software included in the scope of supply.
