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.
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 AC/DC 7.
Anemometer (Solar Cell 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.
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.
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 fittings provided. 7.
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.
Buttons and Controls The infra-red remote control has buttons which correspond to the ones on the main unit.

Customizing your Weather Station To fully customize the weather station to your local settings and personal preferences, the following settings are required. Please refer to the appropriate sections for detailed instructions. Required: - Setting Pressure Parameters during Initial Start-Up (Pressure and Weather Forecast Mode P.15) - Setting up the Time, Date and Language (Clock and Alarm Mode: P.19) - Setting up the Location Data (Sunrise/Sunset Mode: P.
Using the Different Weather Modes Pressure and Weather Forecast Mode This part of the display indicates the current pressure, sea level pressure, weather forecast, moon phase and pressure trend. A number of historical statistics can also be viewed, such as the sea-level pressure values for the last 24 hours, moon phase for the previous and next 39 days, as well as a pressure/ temperature/ humidity history bar-chart.
Setting the Pressure and Altitude Units 1. In Pressure and Weather Forecast Mode, press SET until local pressure is displayed. 2. Press and hold MEM or MEMORY. The pressure unit should be flashing. 3. Set Local Pressure Units: Press UP or DOWN to adjust value. Press SET to confirm your selection. 4. Set Altitude Units: Press UP or DOWN to adjust value. Press SET to confirm your selection. 5. Set Sea-Level Pressure Units: Press UP or DOWN to adjust value. Press MEM or MEMORY to confirm your selection. 6.
Understanding the Weather Forecast Display Display Weather Forecast Status Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy Rain Unstable Weather Snow NOTE: 1. It is not necessary and not possible to adjust the altitude of the weather station. After the initial start-up of the weather station, a first forecast will be made within the first 24 hours of operation. 2. In periods of long stable weather conditions, it becomes difficult to make a reliable forecast. 3.
Clock and Alarm Mode The main console unit can be configured to display the time, calendar or UTC time. There are three time alarms available on the console unit: Single alarm: activated once at specified time Weekday alarm: activated everyday from Monday to Friday at specified time Pre-alarm: activated at specified time interval (Fixed 30 min) ahead of weekday alarm, if channel 1 temperature falling to +2 ºC or below. The snooze duration for the above alarms can also be programmed (0-15 min).
