1 General Important Note: Before inserting batteries to the units, please carefully read the operation manual. The shipping contents of the Touch Screen Weather Station WS-3500 include a Base Station (Receiver), a Thermo-Hygro Sensor (433 MHz Transmitter), the respective Connecting Cables, an AC/DC Mains Adapter and a PC Software Package on CD-ROM.
2 Important Touch Screen Operating Notes generally applicable All actions and functions of the Weather Station are started on the Touch Screen by slightly touching (not pressing!) the switching areas appearing in star ( )٭symbols (only in the text section at the bottom of the LCD) or the displayed values respectively. The setting of functions, values and units is in all modes performed by use of the switching areas ٭ON ٭or ٭OFF٭, ٭UP ٭or ٭DOWN ٭or by direct unit selection.

3.1 Wiring the System Thermo-Hygro-Sensor PC COM Port cable OUTDOOR TX AC/DC-Adapter Wireless Transmission Direct cable connection The direct cable connection of Thermo-Hygro Sensor and Base Station can be used in case that: the flexibility of 433 MHz radio transmission is not needed and data transmission absolutely free of any environmental interferences is wanted. 3.2 Power Supply The provision of power to the Weather Station can be performed by use of batteries or by AC/DC mains adapter.
3.2.1 Batteries: First insert two Type AA 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment of the Thermo-Hygro-Sensor. Immediately following this insert three Type AA 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment of the Touch Screen Weather Station. Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an authorized depot. 3.2.2 AC/DC Mains Adapter: OUTDOOR TX Firstly also insert two Type AA 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment of the Thermo-Hygro-Sensor.
After doing this full operation of the entire Weather Station System is ensured. 3.2.3 Cable Connection: One further feature of the direct cable connection mentioned in Item 3.1 above is that in case of AC/DC adapter operation power is provided not only to the Base Station but to the Thermo-Hygro Sensor as well by just this AC/DC adapter.
Important Note: Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take place after completion of the play mode (approx. 15 minutes). In case the user wants to start the system without waiting for completion of the play mode it can be terminated prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the upper left corner of the LCD. Prior to manual setting or reception of radio-controlled time information there will be no recording of weather history data. 3.
The basic settings can now be performed in the following successive order: LCD Contrast 4). Contrast can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7 (Default Time Zone Time Zones can be set in the range from -12 to +12 hours (Default 0 hours for Central Europe). ON/OFF. In setting “OFF“ DCF77 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) the clock is operating as a normal Quartz clock (Default RCC ON). 12/24 hour Time Display Format (Default 24 h Format).
Units Temperature Display (Temp) in °C or °F (Default °C). Air Pressure (Press) in hPa or inHg (Default hPa). To be set to the locally valid Relative Air Pressure (Rel. Pressure) reference air pressure with regard to the local height above sea level (Default 1013,0 hPa). Setting to a definite switching Weather Tendency (Tendency) threshold (2 hPa to 4 hPa) for a change in display of weather icons (Default 3 hPa).
Activate/Deactivate storm warning alarm with ٭ON ٭/ ٭OFF ٭resp. (Default OFF). Allows to newly recognize the outdoor Relearn Mode (Relearn Tx) transmitter (e. g. after a battery change in the transmitter) without the necessity of a comprehensive re-setup of all system components Acknowledge with ٭CONFIRM٭.
5 Display of stored Min/Max Values and Alarm Value Settings Named values are in each case upon recall being simultaneously displayed and flashing in their respective display sections. To recall named measuring and alarm values the menu shown below will have to be activated by touching the Touch Screen in the center of the text display section (last two lines at the bottom of the LCD). The display of the values is started by touching the displays ٭MINMAX ٭or ٭ALARMS ٭resp.
displays of the set low resp. high alarm values, which on their part again can be directly selected. Because of the constant access to the respective opposite menu item ٭MINMAX ٭resp. ٭ALARMS ٭it is moreover possible at any time to toggle between the MIN/MAX and ALARMS value displays. Any action can immediately be terminated through ٭EXIT٭.
Setting the Date The action is started by touching the date display in the DATE section of the Touch Screen. Set the year, month and date of day. Leave the mode with ٭EXIT٭. Note: By twice touching the DATE section the display will toggle between the following: Date in DD.MM.YY format (24 hour time format) or Date in MM.DD.YY format (12 hour time format) Weekday (Eng. abbrev.
Note: The wake-up alarm is activated/deactivated by twice touching the TIME section. Here the alarm symbol ((( ))) will show or disappear after ٭EXIT( ٭or automatic time-out). When the alarm sounds, user may "touch" any section on the LCD to stop the alarm. 7 Weather Tendency Call up the tendency display by touching the weather symbol in the TENDENCY section.
the biggest resulting difference is displayed in the difference barometer. 8 Air Pressure History (Pressure History) The air pressure history shows the progress of the air pressure over a time period of 24 or 72 hours in form of a 7-step bar graph, where the length of the utmost right bar represents the present air pressure and the remaining bars show the progress of the air pressure with regard to the present air pressure.
9.1 Air Pressure (Pressure) Example for Activating the Displays of Stored Maximum Values Call up the menu on the text section by touching the PRESSURE section. Start with ٭MAX ٭in the menu section. Note: Display of the stored minimum values is from here possible through ٭MIN ٭analog to this example. Display of stored value. Proceed with ٭MAX PRESSURE٭. Resetting of the displayed value to the present value with ٭CONFIRM٭. Without resetting advance with ٭EXIT٭.
Example for Setting of Alarms by means of the HI Alarms As in the example above here too call up the menu on the text section by touching the PRESSURE section. Start with ٭ALARM ٭in the menu section. Proceed with ٭HI AL ٭in the menu section. Note: Setting of the LO alarms is from here possible through ٭LO AL٭ analog to this example. Setting of high alarm value with ٭UP ٭or ٭DOWN٭. Proceed with ٭ON/OFF٭. Activate or deactivate the alarm with ٭ON ٭or ٭OFF٭.
End of Example Note: Twice touching the PRESSURE section toggles the displays of the Relative (rel) and Absolute (abs) air pressure. All setting and display facilities only pertain to the respective presently displayed value.
of battery lifetime. It is thus recommended to either operate the Weather Station on the included AC/DC adapter or entirely deactivate the EL backlight (see above). 11.2 Buzzer The buzzer for the acoustic acknowledgement or alarm signals of the Weather Station can be switched ON or OFF by touching the BUZZER section. The switching condition ON or OFF is displayed directly in the BUZZER section as well as for about 30 seconds in the text section (Enabled/Disabled). 11.
