1. Intended Use

The Weather Station WS 200 is a high-quality universal weather measuring system which is able

to process a large number of weather data and additional information and can indicate both

current values and forecasts.

All relevant data are simultaneously presented on the LC display, further data can be indicated

by pressing a key.

A special feature is the figure of the ”Weather Willi”. The clothes he wears show the current

outdoor temperature range, his hair and scarf reflect the range of the current wind speed and

his umbrella indicates prognosticated rain.

The forecasts of the basis station are to be considered orientation values. They do not represent

an absolutely accurate prognosis. The manufacturer does not take over any responsibility for

incorrect indications, measured values or weather forecasts and the consequences thereof.

This product is designed for private use and is not suitable for medical purposes or for informing

the public.

The components of this product are not a toy, they contain fragile glass and ceramic parts.

Set up all the components in such a manner that they are out of the reach of children.

The product is operated by batteries. All external sensors transmit their data to the base station

via radio in the range of 868 MHz (coverage up to 100m in the free field).

Use other than that described above will lead to damage to the product.

Please read the complete operating instructions before use. They contain important

information for correct installation, functioning and operation.

3. Explanation of Symbols

The symbol with the lightening in the triangle is used when your health is at risk, e.g.

through an electric shock

An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important information in these operating

instructions which must be observed without fail.

The ”hand” symbol can be found when you are to be given tips and information on

operation.

4. Features and Functions

sign)

”Weather Willi” weather indicator

Following the almost forgotten weather house, in which a person with an umbrella steps out of

the door in case of bad weather and a person lightly dressed appears in case of good weather,

the WS 200 is provided with the ”Weather Willi”.

The behaviour of this figure depends on various weather factors so that you can see at a glance

which dressing you should put on if you want to go outside.

This indicator does not only reflect the current measured values for outdoor temperature, air

humidity and wind, but also the weather forecast data.

Therefore, many different presentations and kinds of clothing of ”Weather Willi” are

provided and shown according to the weather situation.

•The clothing of ”Weather Willi” depends on the outdoor temperature measured at the

multipurpose sensor and ranges from swimming shorts up to the complete winter dressing

including a cap, a muffler and gloves.

•At wind speeds higher than 20 km/h (moderate wind) the hair of ”Weather Willi” blow in the

wind and if he has put a muffler on – dependent on the temperature, too – it also blows in the

wind.

•If the weather forecast predicts rain, the ”Weather Willi” will take his umbrella with him.

b) Multipurpose Sensor

•Radio transmission of:

-wind speed

-temperature

-air humidity

C) Outdoor Sensor

•Radio transmission of:

-temperature

-air humidity

5. Safety Instructions

The warranty will lapse for damage due to non-compliance with these operating

instructions. We shall not be held liable for any consequential damage or loss!

We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused

by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions. Any claim

to warranty will lapse in such cases.

Dear Customer, the following safety and risk instructions are intended not only for the

protection of your health but also for the protection of the device. Please read through the

following points attentively:

Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. The outdoor sensor does only emit

relatively weak radio signals. These radio signals could, however, lead to malfunctions in life-

supporting systems. The same may possibly apply to other areas.

The weather station is only designed for dry rooms. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, high

temperatures, coldness or excessive dampness and humidity.

The multipurpose sensor (and separately/additionally available outdoor sensors) is suitable for

operation in non-protected outdoor areas.

For safety and licensing (CE) reasons, unauthorised conversion of and/or modifications to the

product are not permitted.

Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. Plastic foil/bags and polystyrene parts

etc. could become dangerous toys for children.

Handle the product with care. It can be damaged through impact, blows or by being dropped

even from a low height.

6. Battery and Accumulator Information

•Batteries/accumulators must be kept out of the reach of children.

•Make sure that the batteries/accumulators are inserted with the correct polarity.

•Do not leave the batteries/accumulators lying around in the open; there is a risk of their being

swallowed by children or domestic animals. If swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.

•Leaking or damaged batteries/accumulators can cause burning if they come into contact with

the skin. For this reason you should use suitable protective gloves.

•Make sure that batteries/accumulators are not short-circuited or thrown into a fire. There is

a risk of explosion!

•Never dismantle batteries/accumulators!

•Batteries may not be recharged. There is a risk of explosion!

•In case of longer periods of non-use (e.g. during storage) remove the inserted batteries/

accumulators to avoid damage by a leaking battery/accumulator.

•Always replace the whole set of batteries/accumulators. Do not mix batteries/accumulators

of different types/manufacturers.

•Never mix batteries with accumulators!

Please note:

The weather station, multipurpose sensor and possibly used outdoor sensors can be

operated by accumulators. However, due to the lower voltage of accumulators

(accumulator = 1.2 V, battery = 1.5 V) the operating life can be decreased. Moreover,

the radio coverage will be reduced, in rare cases even malfunctions can be caused.

Therefore, the following rule applies:

If you face any problem during the operation based on accumulators, use batteries

instead of them. We recommend you to operate the weather station, multipurpose

sensor and possibly existing outdoor sensors only with high-quality alkaline batteries.

Please refer to chapter 16 for the environmental-friendly disposal of batteries

and accumulators.
