SETTING UP:

Note:

When putting the Weather Center 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 them at their final destinations (See Positioning below)

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 outdoor temperature, humidity wind chill and wind speed should then be

 

displayed on the Weather Center. If this does not happen after 30 seconds, the

1.Unwind the cables of the Rain and the Wind sensors. Connect the Rain and the Wind sensors to the Thermo-hygro sensor by plugging the connector heads of the two sensors into the appropriate sockets of the Thermo-hygro sensor.

2.First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor (see “How to install and replace the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor“ below).

3.Then insert the batteries into the Weather Center (see “How to install and replace the batteries into the Weather Center” below). Once the batteries are installed in the Weather Center, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will be heard. It will then display the time as 12:00, the date

 

batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will have to start again

 

from step 1.

5.

You may then check all cables for correct connection and all components for

 

correct function by manually turning the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane,

 

tilting the rain sensor to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc

 

(See Positioning below).

6.

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

7.

After the Weather Center 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 915

 

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

 

mounting locations.

8.

Insert the batteries into the Bonus Receiver (see “How to install and replace

 

the batteries into the Bonus Receiver” below).

9.

Once the batteries are installed, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. It

 

will then display the time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature.

10.

The outdoor temperature and humidity will be display after reception of data

 

from the transmitter. If this does not happen after 1 minute, the batteries will

 

need to be removed from all the units. You will have to start again from step 1.

 

Note: Please refer to the “Bonus Receiver functions and settings” below.

Note:

The radio communication between the receiver and the transmitter in the open field reaches distances of max 330 feet, provided there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.

11.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 and the bonus receiver to receive the signal from the transmitter 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 this transmitter. In this case, user will need to reinstall the batteries from the transmitter to redo set-up procedure.

After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between weather center and the transmitter. 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.

If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 14 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 14 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 14 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR

The outdoor Thermo-hygro sensor 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.Remover 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 thermo-

10

hygro sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first 30 seconds of power being supplied to it.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE WEATHER CENTER

The Weather Center 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.
