This document describes the Bresser 7-in-1 Exclusive Weather Center ClimateScout RC Weather Station with a 7-in-1 Sensor. It is designed for private use as an electronic medium for multimedia services.
Function Description
The Bresser 7-in-1 Weather Center ClimateScout is a professional personal weather station that provides comprehensive weather data for your backyard. It consists of a main display console and a wireless 7-in-1 outdoor sensor.
The wireless 7-in-1 sensor is a fully assembled and calibrated unit that measures:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Rainfall (using a self-emptying rain collector)
- UV Index
- Light intensity
- Outdoor temperature
- Outdoor humidity
The sensor transmits data to the console via a low-power radio frequency, with a range of up to 150 meters (line of sight).
The display console receives and shows all the weather data from the outdoor sensor. It stores data for the past 24 hours, allowing you to monitor and analyze weather trends. Advanced features include:
- HI/LO Alert alarm: Notifies the user when set high or low weather criteria are met.
- Barometric pressure records: Computes and provides forthcoming weather forecasts and storm warnings.
- Day and date stamps: Provided for corresponding maximum and minimum records of each weather detail.
- Analyzed records: Displays rainfall in terms of rain rate, daily, weekly, and monthly records, and wind speed in different levels.
- Useful readings: Includes "Feels like" temperature, Wind-chill, Heat Index, Dew-point, and Comfort level.
- Radio-controlled / Atomic clock: Ensures accurate timekeeping.
