This document describes the Wittime Digital Wireless Weather Station, a device designed to provide comprehensive weather information and time-related functions for home use. The weather station consists of a base unit and a wireless sensor, offering a range of features to enhance daily life.
Function Description
The primary function of the Wittime Digital Wireless Weather Station is to display various weather information from its immediate surroundings, including air pressure, humidity, and temperature. It provides a weather forecast based on the collected data, helping users anticipate upcoming weather conditions. The device also displays the date, time, and phases of the moon, and includes an alarm function with snooze capabilities. Additional information such as dew point and heat index is also provided.
The weather station features a high-definition color display for clear readability. It supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats. Indoor and outdoor temperature displays are available in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The device can display indoor and outdoor humidity, along with humidity and temperature trends, indicating whether these values are rising, constant, or falling. It also shows current and previous air-pressure tendencies, represented by a history graph that tracks changes over the past 12 hours. Weather forecast symbols, such as sunny, partly cloudy, overcast, rain, thunderstorm, snowfall, and heavy snowfall, are displayed to visually represent the forecast. A mold indicator helps users assess the likelihood of mold growth based on temperature and humidity. A comfort indicator, represented by a smiley face symbol, indicates the indoor comfort level. The device also features a low battery indicator for both the base unit and the wireless sensor.
The wireless sensor extends the weather station's capabilities by measuring outdoor temperature and humidity. It can connect with up to three wireless sensors at different measurement sites, although the delivery includes one wireless sensor by default. The sensor transmits data wirelessly to the base unit, allowing for remote monitoring of outdoor conditions.
Usage Features
The weather station offers flexible power options, operating either with batteries or via a switching adapter connected to mains power. When connected to a power socket, it prioritizes mains operation even if batteries are present.
Setting up the device involves a straightforward process. First, batteries are inserted into the wireless sensor, ensuring correct polarity. The sensor's red pilot light will illuminate, indicating data transmission to the base unit. For additional wireless sensors, each must be assigned a unique sensor number using sliding switches. Once the base unit is powered on (either by batteries or the adapter), it enters air pressure mode, where the air pressure unit flashes. Users can then adjust the air pressure value using the UP and DOWN buttons and confirm with the SNOOZE+LIGHT button. The weather symbol can also be manually adjusted to shorten the reception time for the weather station. After the weather symbol is selected, the radio frequency symbol will flash, and the device will attempt to receive RF signals from the wireless sensor for three minutes to display outdoor temperature and humidity. If connection fails, the CH button can be pressed and held to reconnect.
Basic data settings, including year, month, date, hour, minutes, 12/24H format, DST ON/OFF, and air pressure unit (inHg or hPa), can be configured by pressing and holding the MODE button until the year flashes. Values are adjusted using the UP and DOWN buttons and confirmed with the MODE button.
The alarm function can be set by long-pressing the ALARM button until the time flashes. Users can set the desired hour and minute using the UP and DOWN buttons, confirming each step with the ALARM button. The alarm is off by default and needs to be activated manually by pressing the ALARM button once. Pressing it twice deactivates the alarm. When the alarm sounds, it can be temporarily paused for approximately 5 minutes using the SNOOZE+LIGHT button, or completely stopped by pressing any other button on the base unit. If no buttons are pressed, the alarm automatically switches off after 2 minutes.
The device also displays maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values. These can be viewed by repeatedly pressing the UP button. Holding the UP button will delete the stored highest and lowest values since midnight.
The weather station automatically updates moon phases with the date. It also adapts to winter/summer time changes automatically. The display illumination can be adjusted (Bright, Muted, Off) when operating on mains power by repeatedly pressing the SNOOZE+LIGHT button. When on battery power, any button press will light up the display for 10 seconds.
Maintenance Features
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, the wireless sensor should be placed in a location protected from direct weather elements like rain, sun, and wind, such as under a porch or in a carport. The base unit should be placed in a dry, enclosed space, away from dust, shocks, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. It can be placed on a desk or hung on a wall.
When replacing batteries, it's important to use alkaline batteries for longer life, especially in low temperatures. When the low battery symbol appears, batteries in the respective unit (base unit or wireless sensor) should be replaced. All batteries should be exchanged simultaneously, and only those listed in the technical data should be used. Even if the base unit is mains-powered, empty batteries should be removed. Correct polarity (+/-) must be observed during insertion. Battery and device contacts should be cleaned if necessary before inserting new batteries. Old batteries should be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
If the weather station displays incorrect values, it can be reset to factory settings by removing and reinserting batteries (or unplugging and replugging the power adapter if mains-powered). This will cause all symbols to briefly appear on the display, followed by a beep and the unit starting to retrieve data from the wireless sensors after about 20 seconds.
For cleaning, the base unit should be disconnected from the power mains by removing the switching adapter plug. It can then be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and dried completely before reconnecting.
