1.General information and functioning

The WS-2510 Touch Screen Wireless Weather Station represents a high-quality, extremely convenient universal weather measuring system, which can record, process and display data from up to 8 external wireless temperature and humidity sensors, a wireless wind sensor, a wireless rainfall sensor and a wireless brightness sensor.

The operating concept of the weather station is remarkable. It does not use any operating elements, but is operated solely via a large, touch-sensitive LC display.

The display can be illuminated permanently or on a time basis, so that it can be easily read under nearly all light conditions.

The weather station can optionally be powered by means of batteries or with the plug-in power adaptor provided (particularly recommended when the display is continuously lit or lit for any length of time).
