Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the PRO-X USB 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.
Clock and Calendar (12hr/ 24 hr) (month/day or day/month) - Different combinations of clock and calendar displays - 6 languages for day of week (English/ German/ French/ Italian/ Spanish/ Dutch) Alarms - Single alarm: activated once at specified time - Weekday alarm: activated everyday from Monday to Friday at specified time - Pre-alarm: activated ahead of single or weekday alarm if channel 1 temperature falling to +2ºC or below.
Contents of Complete Weather Station Kit Before installing your weather station, please check that the following are complete: Hardware Komponenten Main Console Unit Remote Control Fittings (optional) AC/DC 7.
Anemometer (Wind Sensor): - Wind Cups - Wind Vane - Anemometer arm - Anemometer base 4 screws for securing unit to vertical surface 2m (6ft) USB cable Installing your weather station Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first. 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.
Placement tips: - The sensor should be mounted in an area free of shadows or reflections of sunlight by nearby coverings and objects. 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.
Setting up the Anemometer (wind sensor) 1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm 2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base. 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder in the base. 4. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided. 5. To allow the main console unit to find the direction which the wind vane is oriented, the following procedures are required: i. Insert the batteries ii. Point the wind vane towards the north.
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.
