1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather Station.

Designed for everyday use, the weather station will prove to be an

asset of great value for your personal use in the home or office.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly to fully understand the

correct operation of your weather station and benefit from its unique

features.

2. Intended Use

Weather Station

The base station measures the indoor environment of its surrounding

area and receives weather data from the following three outdoor

sensors:

1) Thermo-Hygro Sensor

2) Wind Sensor

3) Rain Sensor

The received data is continuously updated to bring you the latest

weather information on the base station’s LCD. The outdoor thermo-

hygro sensor is the main data communication unit since both the wind

and rain sensors are connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for

operating power and rely on it to communicate to the base station.

Weather data sent from the thermo-hygro sensor can be done by

wireless 433MHz transmission (up to 330ft in open space) or by cable

connection.

Using the enclosed 6.5ft computer cable and CD-ROM, you can

install the Heavy Weather software to your PC and access the latest

weather information from your PC and upload up to 175 sets of

recorded weather data received by the base station. Recorded data

can be used to generate statistics and charts onto your spreadsheets

(175 sets of data is stored in the base even if the PC is switched

OFF). The software itself does not set any limits as to how many data

sets can be transferred to PC.

This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC, simply

connect and disconnect the PC cable at any time.

Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor

The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature and relative

humidity. It also collects the readings from the rain and wind sensors

before transmitting the data to the base station by wireless 433MHz or by

the 32ft cable included in this set.

Features of Wind sensor

The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and sends the

data to thermo-hygro sensor, which in turn transmits the data to the base

station. Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor using a

32ft cable connection.

Features of Rain sensor

The rain sensor measures the rainfall and sends the data to thermo-hygro

sensor, which in turn transmits the data to the base station. Operating

power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor by a 32ft cable connection.

5. Setting up

First, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batteries for

operation. Both these methods allow for operation using wireless

433MHz transmission or cable connection between the base station

and the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows:

Base Station:

Setting up using batteries:

Important: To avoid operating problems, please take note of

battery polarity if inserting any batteries

1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the

three sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor and the base

station)

2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to the

corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking

them into place

3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located below

the three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries and

close the cover

4) Open the base station’s battery cover located at the back of the

unit and insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the battery

compartment and close the battery cover

Sensor sockets

Battery

Compartment Battery Cove

Thermo-Hygro Senso

Sensor sockets

Setting up using the AC adaptor:

1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using

batteries above

2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and

power up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack into the

DC 6.0V socket located on the side of the base station

Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after

a change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this

code must be synchronized with the base station to receive weather

data.

When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all

LCD segments will light up for about 5 seconds before it enters into a

15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors security code. After the

learning mode (or by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base

station will start the WWVB radio controlled time reception.

Note for WWVB Radio Controlled Time:

The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the

highly accurate government operated atomic clock in Ft. Collins,

Colorado. This radio-controlled clock does not only provide for the

weather station’s time and date display but also functions as the time

and date source for all of this weather station’s memory and history

values using time and date information.

E.L. backlight:

When using the power adapter or under battery operation, the E.L.

backlight will switch on for 15 seconds when any button is pressed.

6. Operation using cable connection or wireless 433MHz

Cable Connection:

Using this method of operation will provide interference free transfer

of the weather data from the sensors to the base station. The data

sending interval from the sensors to the base station will also be more

frequent compared to using 433MHz transmission and will result in

higher power consumption. Therefore batteries will have a shorter life

span for cable connection compared to using 433MHz.

To operate using cable connection, simply use the enclosed 32ft

cable and connect the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station.

Once the connection is detected, the base station will automatically

continue reading the data from the sensor.

The user may at any time switch from cable connection to using

433MHz (or vice versa) by simply disconnecting (or connecting) the

cable from the base station to the sensor. When the base station

detects no cable connection to the sensors, the base station will

automatically change to using 433 MHz for reception of the weather

data from the sensors.

The data receiving intervals are as follows:

-Using cable connection data is updated every 8 seconds.

-Using wireless 433 MHz data is updated from 16 to 128 second

intervals depending on wind speed and rain activity.

Using the AC adaptor to operate the base station will also supply

power to the sensor if the cable is connected to it. Batteries used for

433MHz transmission may be left in the sensor when using cable

connection for power back up in case of AC power failure. A loss of

power would desynchronize the base station and the sensor and no

weather data will be received. To Synchronize the units so that the

weather data can be received, press and hold the PLUS (+) key for 2

seconds. However in general, batteries that will not be used for long

periods should be removed to avoid leakage.

Wireless 433MHz transmission:

Using 433MHz wireless transmission of weather data from the sensor

to the base station will provide users greater freedom as to where

units can be positioned without the need to be restricted by cable.

Note:

If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the sensors is

lost during setting up, mounting, changing of batteries to the sensor

or plugging or unplugging cables, simply press and hold the PLUS (+)

key for 2 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the

base station to sensors. Without being synchronized, weather data

will not be received.
