Instruction Manual

Introduction

The weather station consists of a main console unit, 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.

Main Console Unit

The main console unit features a radio-controlled precision clock with alarm and weather forecast. It

measures indoor temperature and humidity, and displays weather data collected by the remote

weather sensors. It also provides indication of the indoor/outdoor temperature, pressure and humidity

trends, and moon phase.

Remote Weather Sensors

The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer, anemometer (wind sensor) and rain

sensor. All data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the main console unit by wireless RF. The

weather station supports a maximum of three thermo-hygrometers.

Understanding the Weather Forecast Display

There are total

- Sunny

- Partly Cloudy

- Cloudy

- Light Rain

If RC reception is activated, the icon will start flashing beside the clock icon.

Note: The radio controlled signal for time (DCF 77) is transmitted from the central atomic clock in

Frankfurt/Main in short intervals. It has a reception range of approx. 1500 km. Obstructions such as

concrete walls can reduce the signal range.

Temperature and Humidity Mode

The weather station supports up to 3 remote thermo-hygrometer sensors, each sensor corresponding

to a separate channel for the temperature and relative humidity display. The temperature may be

shown in degrees Celsius ºC or degrees Fahrenheit ºF. The trend (rising, steady or falling) of all

values is also indicated on the display.

The main console unit uses the indoor temperature and humidity data to compute a comfort level

rating of Wet, Comfort or Dry.

A temperature alert function is available for each channel. It can be programmed to sound if the

channel temperature exceeds or falls below the pre-configured upper and lower limits.

Note: The temperature alerts have a 0.5 ºC hysteresis to prevent the alerts from sounding constantly

due to small fluctuations near the alert value. This means that after the temperature reaches the alert

value, it will have to fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to deactivate the alert.

Troubleshooting

“The display shows dashes “---” for weather parameter(s)”

The display will show “---” when the wireless link is lost with the remote sensor for the following

periods:

Thermo-hygro Sensor – 15 minutes

Anemometer (Wind Sensor) – 15 minutes

Rain Sensor – 30 minutes

Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold the button to ▼

enforce a search for all remote signals.

If the above does not solve the problem, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding

sensor to the main console unit and change their locations if necessary.

Although wireless signals can pass through solid objects and walls, the sensor should ideally be

within the line of sight of the console unit.

The following may be the cause of reception problems:

- Distance between remote sensor and main console unit too long.

- Signal shielding materials such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation in the path of

transmission.

- Interferences from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening

devices) and electronic appliances.

“The weather readings do not correlate with measurements from TV, radio or official weather

reports.”

Weather data can vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement of

weather sensors.

Check the placement tips included in this manual to site your sensors in the best possible way.

“The weather forecast is inaccurate.”

The weather forecast is a prediction of weather after 12-24 hours, and may not reflect current

weather conditions.

Installing your weather station

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. Test reception before permanently mounting your

weather station.

Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.

The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor

accuracy.

Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)

1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor

2. Set the channel with a slide switch.

3. Insert 2 x UM-4 or “AAA” size 1.5V batteries.

4. Use a pin to press the “RESET” key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygrometer

sensors.

5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location.

Placement tips:

- The thermo-hygrometer sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from

direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under

a roof.

- Use the wall mount and fittings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface.

- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.

- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete

structures, paving, patios and decks.

- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.

- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above

ground level.

Setting up the Rain Sensor

1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain

sensor in an anti-clockwise direction.

2. Lift the top off the base and insert 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder.

3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise.

4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor,

ideally 2-3 ft above the ground.

It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided.

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.

- It is important that rain excess can flow freely away from the sensor. Make sure that water does not

collect at the base of the unit.

- The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet, hence do not place any magnetic objects

around the proximity of the sensor.

Setting up the Anemometer (wind sensor)

1. Assemble the wind cups to the anemometer arm

2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base.

3. Insert 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder in the base.

4. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided.

5. To allow the main console unit to find the direction which the wind vane is oriented, the following

procedures are required:

i. Insert the batteries

ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary.

iii. Use a pin to press the “SET” key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor.

Note: Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery.

The “SET” will toggle the direction between two mode:

1. Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after

2. Set the current direction as NORTH.

Placement tips:

- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby buildings,

trees or other structures.

- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and obstacles. The

ground creates a frictional effect to wind flow and will attenuate readings.

- Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your area.

- The official mounting location for anemometers is 10m (33 ft) above ground level in a clear

unobstructed location.

Setting up the Main Console Unit

1. Open the latch at the back of the main console unit.

2. Insert 6 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries according to the polarities shown.

3. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, mounting the table stand and adjust to

the optimal viewing angle.

4. If mounting the console unit on a wall or vertical surface, remove the table stand out of the unit.

Placement tips:

Make sure that the console unit is within receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally sensors should

be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal

structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your weather

station.

The console unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals from all

remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts. Avoid placing the console unit in the following areas:

- Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat.

- Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.

- Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby

listening devices) and electronic appliances.

Starting up the Main Console Unit

Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and weather

parameters. Wait for a few minutes for the console to finish self-calibration and for the sensor

readings to show up.

If “---” is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and the

batteries for the corresponding sensor.
