1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing t his Professional Remote Weat her Station. Designed for everyd ay use, the weather st ation will prove to be a n asset of great value for your personal use in the home or of fice.
Features of the Therm o-Hygro Sensor The thermo-hygro sens or measures the outdoor t emperature and relative humidit y. It also collects t he readings from the rain and wind sensors before transmitt ing t he data to the base stat ion by wireless 433MHz or by the 32ft cab le included in this set .
5. Setting up First, choose to use the adaptor (i ncluded in this set) or batter- ies for operation. Both these methods allow for opera tion us- ing wireless 433MHz transmission o r cable connection b.
Setting up using t he AC adaptor: 1) Power up all th e sensors as described in setting up using batt er- ies above 2) Using the AC adapt or (included), plug it into the mains outlet and power up the base stat ion by inserti ng the adapt or jack into the DC 6.

• Signals from the sensors can be rece ived by the base stati o n at points of mount i ng • Radio controlle d time signal can be rec eived at t he point of mounting NOTE: The WWVB receiver is located i n the base station.
After mounting the rain s ensor, connect the cabl e to the ther mo-hygro sensor at the correspond ing socket so power supply ca n be received and data be transmitt ed to the base statio n The rain sensor is now operable. For testing pur poses, very slo wly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel.

The following is a working example of how to save text files and create charts on other applications. 1. Using the Heavy Weather program, open the History window and save the weather data from the desired history file as a text file by clicking on the Save as text button, enter a text file name and click OK.
2. Then open the text file that you have just saved (in Heavy Weather directory or your specific directory) using a spreadsheet program like Excel. 3. The text import wizard window will open. Choose delimited as the sep arator for each data column and cli ck th e next butt on.
5. Next, sele ct the appropr iate data type (such as te xt or nu mbers) for each colu mn of data. The d efault setting General and this is usable and click the Finish bu tton 6. The data is then imported into the Excel ready for the user to plo t a graph.
7. Next, the user ha s to create a valid time column as X-axis. In this example we have typed a date which can be recognize by Excel manually in the cell M3, “2002/5/25 1:30” 8.
9. Then we copy this formula to all cells in column K. The time axis is now complete. Before plotting weather graph, please check that the decimal sep arator of the weather data is comma o r point. If comma is used ( preferred by some European users), Excel w ill not be able to read the weather data directly.
A) Use the indoor temperature as the example. Go into to a new cell (for example, N3), type “=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(B3,”,”,”.”))” . Then an Excel readable indoor temperature reading is created B) Then we copy this formula to all cells in column N.
10. Next step is to mak e the pl ott ing. From E xcel, se lect Insert from the pull down menu then select Chart. You will see the below screen. Then select XY as the chart type and click next 11.
12. Next , sel ect the X -axi s dat a by c lick ing the right -mos t ic on in t he “X Values :" And then, Choose the appropriate data range. In this example, we select the time column w e just made as the X-ax is, since it is located in a sheet named history1 and is from cell M3 to M62 (plot a graph between 1:30 to 2:29.
15. Clic k next to ent er t he belo w sc reen t o dress up t he cha rt, y ou can cust omiz e the T itl es / Axes / Grid lines / Legend / Data Labels. 16. Click next, then select whether you w ant a separate sheet or a chart inside the data sheet. 17. Click finish to see the chart.
