Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the PRO-X2 Weather Station. The weather station

consists of a main console unit with a remote control, as well as an assortment of remote

sensors which collect and transmit a wide range of weather data, including outdoor

temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rain amount and rain rate.

Main Console Unit

The main console unit features a radio-controlled atomic precision clock with alarm and

weather forecast. It measures indoor temperature and humidity, and displays weather data

collected by the remote weather sensors. It also provides indication of the indoor/outdoor

temperature, pressure and humidity trends, and celestial information such as moon phase,

and sunrise/set times.

The main console unit stores around 3300 weather records without a computer connection.

When linked to a computer using the USB cable (incl.) and software (free download from

internet), an unlimited number of weather records can be displayed and saved onto the

computer.

Remote Weather Sensors

The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer, anemometer (solar cell wind

sensor) and rain sensor. All data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the main console

unit by wireless RF. The weather station supports a maximum of 5 thermo-hygrometers,

allowing 5 channels of temperature/humidity display.

Installing your weather station

Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors

Beforestartingupthemainconsoleunit,setupalltheremotesensorsrst.

When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console

unit. Ideally they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range

may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before

permanently mounting your weather station.

Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.

The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect

sensor accuracy.

Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)

1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor.

2. Set the channel with a slide switch.

3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries.

4. Use a pin to press the “RESET” key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro

sensors.

5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location.

Placement tips:

- The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered

from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded

area, such as under a roof.

-Usethewallmountandttingsprovidedifmountingtheunitonaverticalsurface.

- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.

- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or

concrete structures, paving, patios and decks.

- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.

- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft)

above ground level.

Setting up the Rain Sensor

1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of

the rain sensor in an anti-clockwise direction.

2. Lift the top off the base and insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the

battery holder.

3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise.

4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor,

ideally 2-3 ft above the ground.

It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided.

5. The sensor must be accurately level for optimum performance. To check if the sensor

is level, remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the

leveler. Additionally, a bubble level or carpenter’s level may be used.

6. Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid. The screen will prevent any debris

entering the sensor.

Placement tips:

- The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls, fences, trees and

 othercoveringswhichmayeitherreducetheamountofrainfallintothesensor,deect

the entry of wind-blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may

also be sources of pollen and debris.

- To avoid rain shadow effects, place the sensor at a horizontal distance corresponding to

two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.

-Itisimportantthatrainexcesscanowfreelyawayfromthesensor.Makesurethat 

water does not collect at the base of the unit.

- The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet, hence do not place any

magnetic objects around the proximity of the sensor.

Setting up the Anemometer (Solar cell wind sensor)

1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm

2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base.

3. Remove the 4 x screws at the battery door to open the battery compartment.

4. Plug in the re-chargeable battery according to the polarities shown (coded plug).

5. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder in the base.

6.Mounttheanemometerontoaverticalsurface,usingthettingsprovided.

7.Toallowthemainconsoleunittondthedirectionwhichthewindvaneisoriented,the

following procedures are required:

i. Plug in the-chargeable battery and insert the two 1.5V (UM-3 or "AA" size)

batteries.

ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary.

iii. Use a pin to press the “SET” key which is in the battery compartment of the wind

sensor.

Note: Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery.

The “SET” will toggle the direction between two mode:

1. Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after

2. Set the current direction as NORTH.

Placement tips:

- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby

buildings, trees or other structures.

- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and

 obstacles.Thegroundcreatesafrictionaleffecttowindowandwillattenuatereadings.

- Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in

your area.

-Theofcialmountinglocationforanemometersis10m(33ft)abovegroundlevelina 

clear unobstructed location.

Setting up the Main Console Unit

1. Open the latch at the back of the main console unit.

2. Insert 4 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries according to the polarities shown.

3. Reattach the latch.

4. You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feathure of the

automatic backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used.

5. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and

adjust to the optimal viewing angle.

6. If mounting the console unit on a wall or vertical surface, fold the table stand back into

 theunitandusethettingprovided.

Placement tips:

Make sure that the console unit is within receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally

sensors should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be

affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before

permanently mounting your weather station.

The console unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals

from all remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts. Avoid placing the console unit in the

following areas:

- Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat.

- Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.

- Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets,

baby listening devices) and electronic appliances.

Starting up the Main Console Unit

Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and

weatherparameters.Waitforafewminutesfortheconsoletonishself-calibrationandfor

the sensor readings to show up.

If “---” is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and

the batteries for the corresponding sensor.
