SET UP

NOTE: Use good quality alkaline batteries.

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor close together during setup.

2. Install the batteries into the remote sensor first, then into the weather station. See below.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

REMOTE SENSOR (FIG 1)

1. Fig 1Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert two alkaline AA batteries into the remote sensor.

NOTE: Make sure that you follow the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

INDOOR BASE STATION (FIG 2)

1. Fig 2

Remove the battery cover.

2. Observing the correct polarity, install three alkaline AA batteries.

3. Replace the battery cover.

4. Do not press any buttons for at least ten minutes. This will allow time for the weather station to start receiving information from the sensor,

If successful the indoor weather station will show the sensor temperature and humidity.

If the indoor weather station does not display these values after 1 minute, the signal search will try again every two hours until a signal is found.

Once the remote sensor temperature and humidity values are displayed for 10 minutes you can place the sensor outdoors.

3

RADIO TIME SIGNAL After the initial setup period, the weather station will start to search for a radio time signal.

In the UK the time and date signal is sent by a highly accurate government- operated atomic clock. The weather station will continually scan for the radio controlled time signal each day.

If reception is unsuccessful, then the radio time signal icon will not appear and the manually entered time will be displayed. See page 9 for instructions on how to enter the time manually.

If reception has been successful, the radio time signal icon will be shown and the received time and date will overwrite any manually set time and date.

ASSEMBLY

SENSOR MAST

FITTING THE WIND SENSOR (FIG 3)

Fig 3

1. Slide the wind sensor onto the mast as shown.

2. Secure the wind sensor using the 2.2x8 mm screw and 3x25 mm bolt and nut supplied.

3. Make sure the wind sensor can rotate freely.

FITTING THE RAIN SENSOR (FIG 4) Fig 4

1. Remove the four bolts on one of the support arms.

2. Fix the support arm to the mast as shown, replace the bolts.

3. Place the rain sensor onto the support arm and secure it using the 2.6x10 mm screw supplied.

Fig 5

CONNECTIONS (FIG 5)

1. Connect the wind and rain sensors to the Thermo-Hygro sensor as shown.

Fig 6 FITTING THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR TO THE MAST (FIG 6)

1. Loosen the four bolts on the second support arm.

2. Fix the support arm to the mast as shown and retighten the bolts.

3. Place the thermo-hygro sensor onto the support arm and secure it using the 3x20 mm screw supplied.

4. Slide the cover over sensor as shown.

Fig 7 OUTDOOR FIXING (FIG 7)

1. Route the wires neatly and secure into position using the cable ties supplied.

2. Fit the mast to a fixed pole using the 2 jubilee clips provided.

IMPORTANT: For accurate readings the sensor mast should be mounted in an open area away from trees or coverings which may affect wind and rain measurments.

5

BASE STATION There is a folding stand at the

rear of the base station, which allows the unit to be stood on any flat surface.

The base station may also be wall mounted using the hanging hole on the rear of the unit.

NOTE: It is important to check that the radio signal can be received at the chosen location before permanently mounting either of the units.

USING THE WEATHER STATION

WEATHER FORECASTING

Sunny CloudyPartly Cloudy Rain

The four weather icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rain represent the weather types.

NOTE: Weather forecasting is based upon the change of air pressure.The pressure threshold can be adjusted from level 2-4 (default level 2). See General Settings on page 10. Areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting.

WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS The weather tendency arrows are located between the weather icons and provide a forecast of the weather you can expect.

Arrows pointing to the right - mean that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve.

Arrows pointing to the left - mean that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to deteriorate.

EXAMPLES OF CHANGING WEATHER ICONS:

This is based upon the current pressure and the pressure change over the last six hours.

If the weather is changing, the arrows will flash for three hours indicating changing weather.

If the weather conditions become stable, then the arrows will not flash.

8

STORM WARNING When there is a fall in pressure (above the threshold) over a period of 3 hours, the storm warning feature will activate.

The cloud with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.

NOTE: The storm threshold can be adjusted by the user from 3-9hPa (default is 4hPa). See page 10.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem & cause Remedy

No reception - Distance between transmitters and receiver too great.

Reduce distance between transmitter and receiver to receive signal.

No reception - High shielding materials between the units (thick walls, steel, concrete, isolating aluminum foil etc.)

Find a different location for sensor and/or receiver.

Interference from other sources (e.g. wireless radio, headset, speaker, etc. operating on the same frequency).

Find a different location for the sensors and/or base station. Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the same signal frequency can also cause interference with reception.

No reception. Find a new location for the sensors and/or base station.

Poor contrast LCD or no reception or low batteries in sensors or receiver.

Change batteries ( check low battery indicator on the LCD)

Temperature, humidity, or air pressure is incorrect.

Check/replace batteries. Adjust relative air pressure to a value from a reliable source (TV radio, etc.).
