WS-3510

QUICK OPERATION GUIDE

1 Shipping Contents

The shipping contents of the touch-screen weather station WS-

3510 include the touch-screen weather station, a remote

temperature/humidity sensor, the respective connecting cables,

an AC adapter and the PC software package on CD-ROM.

2 Connections

The use of the direct cable connection between the touch-screen

weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor depends on

the chosen operating mode (see Item 3 Power Supply).

3 Power Supply

Depending on the type of data transmission from remote tempera-

ture/humidity sensor to touch-screen weather station, the units can be

supplied with power in the following possible combinations:

•

With cable connection or 433 MHz wireless transmission: touch-

screen weather station batteries, remote temperature/humidity

sensor batteries.

•

With 433 MHz wireless transmission: touch-screen weather station

AC adapter, remote temperature/humidity sensor batteries.

•

With cable connection: Both units supplied by AC adapter.

The last mentioned cable connection avoids battery wear-out and

allows data transmission less prone to interferences.

4 Putting into Operation

For transmission security, first the remote temperature/humidity sensor

and in immediate after the touch-screen weather station must be put

into operation by power being applied to it.

By doing this full scale operation of the total system of the touch-screen

weather station is ensured.

It is beneficial to tentatively put the system into operation in close

proximity (e. g. on a table) in order to ensure correct function in the

configuration it is intended to be used.

5 System Start

After inserting the batteries or respectively connecting the AC adapter

the LCD of the touch-screen weather station will for a few seconds

display all possible segments.

Immediately after this the unit will enter the check mode during which

for about 15 minutes all measured and received weather data are being

switched through, updated and displayed.

This phase allows the user of the touch-screen weather station to check

all cables for correct connection and all components for correct

function.

After completing the check mode – which can also be terminated

prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the upper left section

of the LCD – the touch-screen weather station will automatically switch

to the normal display mode from which all further setting can be

performed by the user.

Note:

•

Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take

place after completion of the check mode (approx. 15 minutes).

This mode can however be discontinued and the time and date can

be set manually.

•

Prior to manual setting or reception of WWVB radio-controlled time

information there will be no recording of weather history data.

6 Placement

After the touch-screen weather station has been checked for correct

function with regard to the above points and found fit, the mounting of

the system components can take place. It must be ensured however

that all components work properly from their chosen mounting or

standing locations. If there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz

wireless transmission they can mostly be overcome by slightly moving

the mounting locations.

7 Setting Up

•

All settings of the touch-screen weather station are performed by

means of menu steps in the text section of the touch-screen

weather station (last two lines on the lower part of the LCD). This

menu for basic settings and basic displays is started by slightly

touching (not pressing!) the center of the text display during

normal display mode.

•

All further actions and functions of the touch-screen weather

station are started by touching the switching areas appearing in

star (٭) symbols (in the text section only) or the displayed values

on the touch screen respectively.

•

For a number of value displays touching the display twice will lead

to further displays or functions. All setting and display facilities only

pertain to the presently displayed value or function.

•

The setting of functions, values and units is in all modes performed

by use of the switching areas ٭ON٭or ٭OFF٭,٭UP٭or ٭DOWN٭

or by direct unit selection.

•

Advance to any next menu step with ٭NEXT٭, leave or terminate

all respective modes with ٭EXIT٭.

•

Every programming step activated by touching a switching area on

the touch screen is acknowledged by an audible signal (with

buzzer switched ON).

•

If during any process previously activated by use of the touch

screen no further action is activated for about 20 seconds, the

active process is automatically terminated and switched back to the

normal display mode (automatic time-out).

8 PC Connection

Note: Please read the Help file on your CD-ROM before connecting the

WS 3510 to your PC.

An important feature exceeding the mere display on the LCD, the

touch-screen weather station allows the read-out of all measured and

displayed time and weather data in the form of complete history data

sets on a PC.

The wiring between touch-screen weather station and PC takes place

by means of the included COM port cable. Furthermore the “Heavy

Weather Pro“ software package also included in the shipping contents

must be installed on the PC.

For further details to the subject “PC Connection“ please see the Help

File on the installation disk.

Note:

•

When first putting the touch-screen weather station into operation

the history memory will be empty (no data).

•

Data read-out by means of the PC is only possible after at least 3

data sets have been stored (15 minutes after setting of a valid

time). It is therefore recommended to connect the PC and start the

Heavy Weather Pro software only after this time period has

passed.

Important Note:

•

User is recommended to carefully read the main operation

manual for set up details. And further utilization of the PC

program refers to the "Help" file (opened by clicking the Ques-

tion mark button in menu bar) of the Heavy Weather program.

(The Wind and Rain measurements are not applicable to the

model WS-3510.)

3 Putting into Operation

It first must be decided whether battery or AC (using the included adaptor) power will be used to operate the system. Both

methods allow the connection of remote temperature/humidity sensor and touch-screen weather station by cable or 433

MHz wireless signal.

Note: When putting the wireless weather station into operation it is important to first perform a complete wiring and setup

of the system in the configuration you intend to use. This serves as a test of all components for correct function before

placing and mounting them in their final destinations.

3.1 Wiring the System

The direct cable connection of remote temperature/humidity sensor and touch-screen weather station can be used when:

PC/COM port

receptacle

AC adapter receptacle

Remote Thermo/hygro

sensor receptacle

-The flexibility of 433 MHz wireless transmission is not needed.

-Data transmission absolutely free of any environmental interference is wanted.

3.2 Power Supply

Power to the touch-screen weather station can be supplied by batteries or the included AC adapter.

3.2.1 Batteries:

•

First insert two AA 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment of the remote temperature/humidity sensor.

•

Immediately following this insert three AA 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment of the touch-screen weather

station.

Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an authorized depot.

3.2.2 AC Adapter:

•

First insert two AA 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment of the remote temperature/humidity sensor.

•

Immediately following this connect the AC adapter to the touch-screen weather station and then plug it into a power

outlet.

Note: In both cases it is important to observe this order of succession since the remote temperature/humidity sensor will

send an identification code which has to be received and stored by the touch-screen weather station within the first few

minutes of operation.

3.2.3 Cable Connection:

One further feature of the direct cable connection mentioned in Item 3.1 above is that in case of AC adapter operation

power is provided not only to the touch-screen weather station but to the remote temperature/humidity sensor as well.

Note: Operating the system configured with a wired connection between the remote temperature/humidity sensor and

touch-screen weather station and power supplied by only batteries in the touch-screen weather station is not

recommended. The system will operate however there will be considerably shorter battery life due to the high power

requirements. The batteries may however remain in the unit for emergency supply in case of a power failure.

A change from cable operation to 433 MHz wireless transmission or vice versa is possible since the touch-screen weather

station will recognize this change and will automatically switch to the appropriate operating mode.

3.3 System Start

After powering up both the remote temperature/humidity sensor and touch-screen weather station the LCD of the touch-

screen weather station will for a few seconds display all possible segments (to ensure all parts of the display can be

seen).

Immediately after this the unit will enter the check mode phase in which for about 15 minutes all measured and received

weather data be cycled through, updated and displayed. During this time period there will be no reception of the WWVB

time information.

Note: The check mode phase allows the user of the touch-screen weather station to check all cables for correct

connection and all components for correct function.

After completing the check mode the touch-screen weather station will automatically switch to the normal display mode

from which all further settings can be performed by the user. At this point of time the unit will also automatically start

reception of the WWVB time information.

Important Note:

Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take place after completion of the check mode

(approx. 15 minutes). In case the user wants to start the system without waiting for completion of the check

mode it can be terminated prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the upper left corner of the LCD.

Prior to manual setting or reception of radio-controlled time information there will be no recording of weather

history data.

3.4 Placement

After the touch-screen weather station has been checked for correct function mounting the system components can take

place. It must be ensured however that all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing

locations. If there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz wireless transmission they can mostly be overcome by slightly

moving the mounting locations.

Note: Commonly the wireless communication between the remote temperature/humidity sensor and touch-screen

weather station in the open field reaches distances of a maximum 330 feet (100 meters) providing that there are no

interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.

Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV sets can in some cases entirely cut off wireless communication.

Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting locations.

4 Setting Up:

Note: Because the default settings already determined by the manufacturer it may not be necessary for many users to

perform - outside possibly the Relative Air Pressure (see further down) - any further basic settings. Changes however can

easily be made if desired.

For basic settings the following menu is started by touching the touch-screen in the center of the text display (last two

lines on the LCD). Touching the display ٭SETUP٭will enter the setup mode.

The basic settings can now be performed in the following successive order:

LCD Contrast →Contrast can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7 (Default 4).

Time Zone →Time Zones can be set in the range from -12 to +12 hours (Default -5 hours for Eastern).
