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

Setting up using batteries:

LED Indicator Thermo-hygro Sensor

Sensor Sockets

Battery Battery cover

Compartment

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 enters 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 144s.
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 reception failure 8 times, the outdoor temperature and
humidity will display “----”. The base station will start search the new remote
sensor signal for 144s.
3. Hold the “▼” key for 4s to enter manual RF receiving state.
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 indoor 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.

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.

Positioning
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.

PC Connection
As an important feature in addition to the display, the Weather Station
allows the read-out of all measured and displayed time and weather data in
form of complete history data sets on a PC.

Data Storage
For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the internal storage
of up to 4080 complete sets of weather data with time and date. These data sets
are being stored in non-volatile ring buffer memory (EEPROM) and will not be lost
even in case of an interruption of power supply (e. g. change of batteries). In case
the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the oldest data sets
stored will be overwritten by the new ones entered.

Data Recall
Certain weather data or setting values can only be read out, processed, and
displayed by means of a PC. Also the settings of the storing intervals from 5
minutes to 240 minutes for the storage of data sets can only be performed by
means of a PC.

Connections and Software

The wiring between Weather Station and PC takes place by means of an included
USB cable. The EasyWeatherPlus software package, also included in the
shipping contents, must be installed on the PC.
This software allows the display of all present weather data with graphic symbols.
It also allows the display, storage, and printing of history data sets, whose volume
exceeding the maximum 4080 data sets of the Weather Station is only limited by
the capacity of the PC’s main memory.

PC software installation
The installation of software is very simple: double click the setup.exe file and
follow the steps popped up.

Make sure you are running the program under the administrator accounts of your
windows PC platform. Otherwise the graphic function might not be working when
graph display mode is needed to display all history data.

If you run the program for the first time, the current weather display will be
displayed and at the sub line of the window, the program will show related
information regarding the read of all history data into the PC. Please note however,
when there is large amount of data is being uploaded, it will take a few minutes
time before the system can respond to your setup settings. Otherwise it will
display “read weather data fail” error message since the USB port is reading the
data from the memory and the system is not able to respond any further job tasks.

- 15 -
When memory is full, it will take about two minutes to upload all history data into
PC and it takes another two minutes to process all history data for graphic display.

Special Notes about time synchronization between PC and sub-station:

The PC software obtained its own time scale through the time interval marker
from the base station history data, and the PC software automatically
synchronizes the weather data with a time stamp calculated. Thus the history data
file can have different time when the PC time and base station time is not same. In
order to make the time scale correct, remember to set the PC time and base
station time same, and further to this, no weather data is allowed to be missed or
over-written. If history weather memory on the base station is cleared by manual
setting, then the history weather data since last uploading is lost permanently.

Before memory is used up(memory icon on LCD display showing 100% full),
remember to upload weather history data to PC periodically.

If there is a reset happened for the rain fall on the base station, then there will be
rain fall value discrepancy between PC and base station.
