1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather Station. De-
signed for everyday use, the weather station will prove to be an asset of great
value for your personal use in the home or office. Please read this instruction
manual thoroughly to fully understand the correct operation of your weather
station and benefit from its unique features.
2. Intended Use
Weather Station
The base station measures the indoor environment of its surrounding area and
receives weather data from the following three outdoor sensors:
1) Thermo-Hygro Sensor
2) Wind Sensor
3) Rain Sensor
The received data is continuously updated to bring you the latest weather
information on the base station’s LCD. The outdoor thermo-hygro sensor is
the main data communication unit since both the wind and rain sensors are
connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for operating power and rely on it to
communicate to the base station. Weather data sent from the thermo-hygro
sensor can be done by wireless 433MHz transmission (up to 100ft in open
space) or by cable connection.
Using the enclosed 6.5ft computer cable and CD-ROM, you can install the
Heavy Weather software to your PC and access the latest weather information
from your PC and upload up to 175 sets of recorded weather data received by
the base station. Recorded data can be used to generate statistics and charts
onto your spreadsheets (175 sets of data is stored in the base even if the PC
is switched OFF). The software itself does not set any limits as to how many
data sets can be transferred to PC.
This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC, simply connect
and disconnect the PC cable at any time.
