SETTING UP:

Note:

When putting the Weather Station into operation, it is important to perform in close

proximity (e.g. on a table) a complete wiring and set-up of the system. This step is

important to test all components for correct function before placing and mounting

Socket for wind

sensor

them at their final destinations (See Positioning below). Spin the wind vane and tip

the rain gauge to test.

1. Unwind the cables of the Wind sensor. Connect the Wind sensor to the Thermo-

hygro transmitter by plugging the connector heads into the sockets of the

Thermo-hygro transmitter. Cord should “click” into place.

2. First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro transmitter and Rain sensor (see

“How to install and replace the batteries into the Thermo-hygro

transmitter“ & How to install and replace batteries into the Rain sensor

below).

3. Then insert the batteries into the Weather Station (see “How to install and

replace the batteries into the Weather Station”below). Once the batteries are

installed, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will

be heard. It will then display the time as 00:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather

icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor data.

4. Afterwards, the Weather Center will start receiving data from the transmitter.

The transmission reception icon will be blinking to indicate that the station is

trying to get the thermo-hygro transmitter data. The outdoor temperature,

humidity, wind data should then be displayed on the Weather Center. If this

does not happen after 45 seconds, the batteries will need to be removed from

all units. You will have to start again from step 2.

5. The transmitter reception icon is now blinking again to indicate that the station is

trying to get the rain sensor data. It will stop blinking once the rain sensor has

been detected. If this does not happen after 45 seconds, you will need to start

again from step 2.

6. You may need to check the cable for correct connection and all the components

for correct function by manually turning the wind-gauge by moving the wind-

vane; tilting the rain sensor to hear the impact of the internal moving seesaw,

etc. (see Positioning below).

7. Time and date shall be manually set (See Manual Setting below).

8. After the Weather Station has been checked for correct function with regard to

the above points and found fit, the initial set up of the weather station system is

finished and the mounting of 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 e.g. there appear to be problems with the 868

MHz radio transmission, they can mostly be overcome by slightly changing the

mounting locations.

Note:

The radio communication between the receiver and the transmitter in the open field

reaches distances of max 100 metres, provided there are no interfering obstacles

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

9. Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV sets can in some

cases entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration

when choosing standing or mounting locations.

Note :

•

After batteries are installed in the transmitter, install the batteries in the weather

center to receive the signal from the transmitters as soon as possible. If the

weather center is powered more than 5 hours after the transmitter is powered,

the weather center will never receive signal successfully from the transmitters.

In this case, user will need to reinstall the batteries from all the transmitters to

redo set-up procedure.

•

After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between weather

center and the transmitters. At this time, the signal reception icon will be blinking.

When the signal is successfully received by the weather center, the icon will be

switched on. (If it is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the

user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not

(icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a

reception is in progress.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE

WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station works with 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V

batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, the

low battery symbol will appear on the LCD.

To install and replace the batteries, please follow the

steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries observing the correct polarity

(see the marking in the battery compartment).

3. Replace the battery cover.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES INTO THE RAIN

SENSOR

The rain sensor works with 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V Alkaline batteries. To install and

replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Press tabs back to unlock rain sensor cover. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

Figure 2 Figure 3

2. Lift rain sensor cover to access battery compartment. (Figure 2)

3. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see the marking in the battery

compartment). (Figure 3)

4. Replace the battery cover and the rain cover onto the unit.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by

following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is

assigned by the rain sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by

the Weather Center in the first several minutes of power being supplied to it.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE

THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The outdoor Thermo-hygro transmitter works with 2 x AA IEC

LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please

follow the steps below:

1. Uninstall the rain cover of the transmitter.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover.

3. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see the

marking in the battery compartment).

4. Replace the battery cover and the rain cover onto the unit.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units

need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is

because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter and rain sensor at

start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first

several minutes of power being supplied to it.
