Please read these instructions carefully from start to finish before initial start up to avoid functional breakdown and faulty operation. Keep the instructions available for future reference.

Pay particular attention to the installation and calibration instructions for the instruments for recording the measured values.

The indoor/outdoor sensor system of the WS-2510 operates exclusively with wireless radio data transfer. You can set up or mount the sensors up to 300 feet (100 m) (depending on local conditions, see section on “range”) from the base station. Longer distances are possible using a repeater (The repeater is available from your dealer as an option).

Some outdoor sensors derive their operating voltage from built in solar cells. Pay particular attention to the set up and assembly instructions for these components, in order to ensure correct orientation and operation.

2.Preparation for operation

2.1.Preparation of the weather station

The weather station runs on 4 C cell 1.5V alkaline batteries. As an alternative, the station can also be operated using the power adaptor provided. This is recommended if the station illumination is to be used for extended periods. Battery operation is recommended particularly if the display illumination is only used occasionally or for a short period. The picture on this page shows the rear of the station with the battery compartment, the correct polarity of the batteries, the stand and the hanging arrangement.

Battery operation

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing in the two ridged areas simultaneously and place four C cell 1.5V alkaline batteries in the battery compartment in the correct orientation according to the polarity markings. Close the battery cover.

Operation using the power adaptor

First place the round female plug of the power supply provided in the power supply socket marked “POWER” on the rear of the unit and then plug the power supply into a 110V outlet. When using the adaptor, any batteries that have been fitted will be switched off.

PC connection (optional)

If the station is to be connected to a PC, the PC cable (optional) must be connected by means of the Western modular plug to the socket marked “RS 232”. The 9-pin Sub-D plug is connected to a serial port of the PC.

Bus connection

The socket marked “BUS ” is for future expansions and is not used at present.
