humidity. It also includes the radio controlled atomic clock transmitter, which receives data from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, and then sends the received data back to the main unit display. The data is sent by a 433MHz radio controlled wireless transmission. Transmission can be received up to 100 feet away in an unobstructed open area.

WIRELESS WIND SPEED SENSOR: The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and transmits this information to the main unit display. The data is sent by a 433MHz radio controlled wireless transmission. Transmission can be received up to 100 feet away in an open

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Philips type screwdriver: for optional surface mounting of the wireless sensor / brackets.

OVERVIEW OF FEATURES

WEATHER STATION MAIN UNIT:

The main unit measures the indoor environment temperature and humidity and receives weather and time data from the two outdoor wireless sensors. The following sensors send data back to the main unit:

1.Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer/Atomic Clock Sensor

2.Wireless Wind Sensor

The wireless weather station receives the wireless sensor data continuously, updating you with the latest and most accurate weather information on the large, easy-to-read LCD display, using icons and trend indicators. The weather station main unit also provides you with weather information, at-a-glance. Enjoy using the weather station either on the wall, using the hanging slot by fastening with a nail or provided screw, or on a desktop, using the included snap-on foot stand.

area.

GETTING STARTED

MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

The wireless transmission distance from the thermo-hygrometer sensor and wind speed sensor to the main unit in open space under ideal conditions is 100ft. Although the signal transmission may travel through solid surfaces or objects, Try to place the wireless sensors and main unit in a location with minimal obstructions. The following points should be avoided if possible.

•High density of large trees.

•High Radio frequency areas.

•Low-E Glass.

•Thick concrete, stone or brick.

•The main unit, thermo-hygrometer and wind speed sensors should not be mounted to metal surfaces as this can reduce range of transmission.

•Prior to drilling mounting holes and permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the main unit con receive the signal from the remote sensors in the desired location.

•For best reception of the signal from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, place the sensor in a location with a direction towards Colorado.

•The WWVB signal will be obtained easiest in the nighttime hours when the signal is the strongest.

The professional wireless weather station is composed of the following features:

•Displays the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) WWVB Radio Controlled time and date

•Receives and displays weather data, with programmable alarms for certain weather conditions, and records all minimum and maximum values

•Indoor/outdoor temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius (user selectable)

•Indoor/outdoor relative humidity

•Air pressure reading in Hg or hPa

•Weather forecast with weather icons and trend indicators

•Wind speed and wind direction display with LCD compass

•Wind chill temperature display

•Heat index temperature display

•Dew point temperature display

•Time, temperature and storm alarms

•Buttons for use: MAX (+), MIN (-), DISPLAY (daily record), CLEAR, PRESSURE SET-UP (on/off/record), ALARM, CHANNEL (off/wave), SNOOZE (alarm off)

NIST WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED ATOMIC SIGNAL DESCRIPTION:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology government operated WWVB atomic radio signal, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, is the most accurate radio signal, used by television, radio and military for the most split-second time and date information. The time and date display on this weather station is based on the signal provided by the atomic clock in Colorado.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

MAIN UNIT:

The included foot mount can be attached to the bottom of the main unit for easy placement on any flat surface. Alternatively, the main unit can be wall mounted in the desired location by using the hang hole on the back of the unit.

WIRELESS THERMO-HYGROMEMTER SENSOR:

The best place to mount the thermo-hygrometer sensor is in a location out of direct sunlight and protected by extreme weather conditions, such as under the extension of the home roof, under a covered patio or deck. Mount the bracket that the thermo-hygrometer sensor will set in at about eye level by using the four included screws. Once the bracket has been properly affixed in the desired location, place the sensor in the bracket holder. The thermo-hygrometer wireless sensor may also be mounted on a pole; which is outlined in the section “OPTIONAL POLE MOUNTING.”
