Model WS-1913

Note: When putting the Weather Station into operation, it is important to have them in close proximity (e.g. on a table) while completing wiring and set-up of the system. This step is important to allow testing of all components for correct function before placing and mounting them at their final destinations (See Positioning below).

Socket for wind

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

by plugging the connector head into the socket of the Thermo-hygro sensor.

INITIAL SETUP:

Weather Center

Wireless transmission at

915MHz - thermo-hygro transmitter to weather station

Quick Setup Guide

OPTIONAL

Wireless transmission at 915 MHz – Self- Emptying Rain sensor to weather station

Rain Sensor (sold separately)

Wind Sensor

2.	First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and optional rain sensor
	(purchased separately) (See How to install and replace the batteries into the
	Thermo-hygro sensor and How to install and replace the batteries into the rain
	sensor (optional) 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, all
	segments of the LCD will light up. It will then display the time as 12:00, the date as
	1.1.09, the weather icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor
	data.
4.	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 and wind data should
	then be displayed on the Weather Center. If this does not happen after 135 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 135 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 must be manually set (See Manual Setting below).
8.	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

Cable connection between the wind sensor and the thermo-hygro transmitter

however that all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing 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 the signal successfully from the transmitters. In this case, you will need to reinstall the batteries for all the transmitters to redo the setup procedure.

After the 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) This allows you to see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off).

Short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is in progress.

Transmitter signal reception icon

If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful, the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.

and the mounting of the system components can take place. It must be ensured

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: When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the thermo- hygro 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 IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station works with 2 x C, IEC LR14, 1.5V batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, the low battery symbol will appear on the LCD.

To install or 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.

Note: When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter and rain sensor (optional) at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 90 seconds of power being supplied to it.

Note: The stored History record will not be kept after the battery change is done on the weather station.
