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.
