3.3System Start

After inserting the batteries and connecting the AC/DC adapter, the LCD of the Weather Station will, for a few seconds, display all possible display segments for checking.

Immediately after this, the unit will enter the “play mode”, during which for about 15 minutes all measured and received weather data are being switched through, updated, and displayed. During this time period there will be no reception of the WWVB time information.

Note: The play mode phase allows the user of the Weather Station to check all cables for correct connection and all components for correct function. The latter will be possible by manually turning the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane, etc.

After completing the play mode, the Touch Screen Weather Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further settings can be performed by the user. At this point of time, the unit will also automatically start reception of the WWVB time information.

Important Note:

Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take place after completion of the play mode (approx. 15 minutes). If the user wants to start the system without waiting for completion of the play mode it can be terminated prematurely by touching the TIME display once in the upper left corner of the LCD.

Prior to manual setting or reception of radio-controlled time information there will be no recording of weather history data.

3.4Positioning

Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they can be positioned in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If e.g. there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission they can mostly be overcome by moving the mounting locations.
