Glossary of Common Terms

LCD

―LCD‖ is an acronym for ‖Liquid Crystal Display‖. This is a common type of display screen

used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this

measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric

pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every direction.

RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE

Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air

pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.

ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE

Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.

INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)

Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.

HECTOPASCALS (hPa)

Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International

System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value

Important Note:

The Professional weather station includes a base station (receiver), a transmitter unit, one

wind direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software

package on CD-ROM.

An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed

time and weather data on a PC.

Set up Guide

Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at there final destination,

please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct function.

Setting up the base station and transmitter

1) Insert 2XAA 1,5V alkaline rechargeable batteries first into the battery compartment of the

remote sensor and immediately afterwards 3XAA 1,5V alkaline batteries in the base

station, observing the correct polarity. When battery is first inserted, the red LED light on

the remote sensor will be light up for 3-4 seconds. (If no LED light up or is lighted

permanently, make sure the battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset is

happened)

2) When the base station is powered up, the LCD display activates for 3 seconds and after

the ―Beep‖, it begins measuring indoor temperature, humidity and air pressure. The unit

then enter the RF(Radio Frequency) state, where it receives data from the remote sensor.

RF (Radio Frequency) Receiving Mode

1. After power-on, the weather station enters RF receiving state for 180s

2. Base station receive the temperature, humidity, wind speed and rain data each 48s, receive

illuminance date each 60s. If there is no new effective signal from the sensor in constance

receiption failure in 10minutes, the outdoor temperature and humidity will display ―----‖. If base

Setting up using batteries:

station didn’t receive the signal in 240 minutes, the base station will start search and register

new sensor.

3. If the outdoor data lost or a battery change for the transmitter, press the reset button on the

solar power cabinet to re-send the signal and set the reregister on at display console to

4. Do not press any key before outdoor sensor data received, otherwise the outdoor sensor

learning mode will be terminated. When outdoor transmitter has been registered, the base

station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further settings can

be performed by the user.

5. If there is no temperature reading in the base station, make sure the units are within range of

each other or repeat the battery installation procedure.

Note:

Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field can

reach a distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as

buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.

Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off

radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting

locations.

Mounting the sensor

Important Notes:

On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of ―N‖,‖E‖,‖S‖and ―W‖

representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be

adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent

wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned

correctly during installation.

Fix the whole set to a pole

same as rain sensor

with the two adjustable hoops.

The anemometer’s cable is connected

to the input on the wind direction

sensor.

The wind direction sensor’s cable is

connected to the input marked Wind on

the thermo-hygro sensor

The rain sensor’s cable is connected to

the input marked Rain on the solar

panel

The solar panel’s cable is connected to

the input marked Rain on the

thermo-hygro sensor.

The solar transmitter

The solar transmitter makes use of solar energy to power the instruments they are connected

to.

Note: It use AA size alkaline rechargeable batteries. For the solar transmitters to function

properly, make sure the solar receptors on the transmitters are exposed to sunlight and the

connectors of the connection cable are securely plugged in.

For best results, direct solar panel as follows:

Solar panel facing north if you reside in the southern hemisphere; Solar panel facing south if

you reside in the northern hemisphere.

Console Operation

Program mode

The screen is divided into 10 segments for selection and there are message display panel on

the bottom.

There are six program modes: normal, setting mode, history mode, alarm mode, max/min

mode and calibrated mode.

All the modes can be exited at any time by pressing the HISTORY key, or waiting for a 30

second timeout to take effect.

Normally, if the segment selected has multi parts, press SET key to choose different part.

Example: the current section is RAIN, you can press SET key to select among RAIN RATE,

RAIN EVENT, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR and TOTAL.

1. Quick Display Mode(Update every 5 Seconds)

In the normal mode and once some segment is selected ( Different segments can be chosen

by pressing‖ ‖or ‖‖key. And the default selected segment is time and date), there will

be messages take turns to show on the message panel. If there are alarms occurred, the alarm

information will be displayed in real time as well. The messages are showing one by one

automatically or you can transfer by pressing‖ ‖ or ― ‖ button.
