3 The FCC Wants You to Know The FCC W ants Y ou to Know FCC DEC LARATION OF CONF ORMITY This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules . Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (.
4 Features tion is ideal fo r anyone who relies on know- ing local weather conditions, such as gardeners, farmers, or anyone who works outdoors. It can also help you successful ly plan outdoor activit.
5 Preparation store some or all of the weather data record- ed by your weather station. Easy Data Access — le ts you recall the stored data at any time, print it out in tables or graphs, and even compare it to no rmal and historical cond itions for your area.
6 Preparation Rain Gauge Outdoor Thermo/ Hyg ro S enso r Indoor Thermo/Hygro /Baro Sensor Solar Transmitter for Anemometer Solar Transmitter for Rain Gauge/ Outdoor Th ermo/Hygro Sensor (2) Anemometer.
7 Preparation •l e v e l • two screws (if you plan to mount the monitor on a wall) •m a s t , 1 – 1 1 / 4 inches (2.54–3.18 cm) in diameter (to mount the anemometer) • batteries (not suppl.
8 Installation Installation INSTALLATION T IPS Although the solar transmitters for the ane- mometer, outdoor thermo/hygro sensor, and rain gauge contain a built-i n Ni-MH battery, they also require a backup battery. See the assembly sections in this manual for instruc- tions on installin g a backup battery in those components.
9 Installation 4. Install all components, th en connect all related components. 5. Conn ect the anemom eter , outd oor thermo/hygro sensor and rain gauge to their individua l solar transmitters to receive the weather element data. Each solar transmitter ne eds two AA batteri es (not supplied) for backup power .
10 Installation anemometer solar transmitter are b oth labele d wi t h a red tag. 3. Install two AA batteries in the compart- ment according to the polarity symbo ls (+ and –) marked inside. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the re- quired size and recommended type.
11 Installation INSTALLING THE ANEMOMETER Selecting a Location Select a mounting location for the anemome- ter that is: • outdoors, within 10 feet of its solar trans- mitter • not blocked on the t.
12 Installation INSTALLING THE RAIN GAUGE Selecting a Location Select a mounting location for the rain gauge that is: • a flat, level surface • outdoors, within 1 0 feet of where you mount the rai.
13 Installation 1. Hold the base of the rain gauge flat against the mounting surface the n use a level to make sure the rai n gauge (as it rests on the mounting surface) is h ori- zontally level. 2. Use a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting holes on the base of the rain gauge to mark the screw locations.
14 Installation Mounting the Outdoor Thermo/ Hygro Sensor 1. Hold the sensor’s mounting bracket flat against the mounting surface and trace the inside of the pilot hole s with a pencil to mark the screw locations.
15 Installation INSTALLING THE MONITOR Selecting a Location You should set the monito r indoors on a flat surface (such as a desk or counter), or mount it on an indoor wall within 6 feet of where your PC is located and near an AC outlet.
16 Operation its plug must fit the monitor’s DC 12V jack. The supplied adapter mee ts these specifications. Using an ada pter that does not meet these specifications could damage the monitor or th e adapter . • Always connect the AC adapter to the monitor before you conn ect it to AC power .
17 Operation = English, ) ) ) ) = French, ' ' ' ' = German, , , , , = Italian, 6 6 6 6 = Spanish). 6. Press SET . The hour digit flashes. 7. Repeatedly press (or hold down) or to set the hour digits. 8. Press SET . The minute digits flash.
18 Operation READING THE W EATHER FORECAST DISPLAY Your weather stati on is designed to forecast the weather conditi ons, from 12–24 hours in advance, for an area withi n 20–30 miles of where you installed i t.
19 Operation Setting the Sea Level Barometric Pressure No matter where you are, barometric pres- sure is measured using the current sea level barometric pressure. This way, meteorol o- gists (and you!) can easily compare mea- surements from locations at different altitudes.
20 Operation USING THE INDOOR T EMPERATURE WINDOW The weather station sample s the indoor air temperature about every 38 seconds. The monitor shows both the current indoor tem- perature and the dew point temperature in the indoor temperature window (on the monitor).
21 Operation Clearing a HI/LOW Temperature Alarm Setting To clear the conditions fo r a high or low tem- perature alarm so the alarm does not sound, repeatedly press ALARM to select th e high or low temperature conditio n, then repeatedly press until appears.
22 Operation the last memory reset), press OUT . Then repeatedly press 0(025 < 0(025 < 0(025 < 0(025 < . 0$; 0$; 0$; 0$; or 0,1 0,1 0,1 0,1 appears when the monitor shows the ma ximum or minimum recorded temp erature. The record- ed times of the maximum or minimum tem- peratures and 6 7 $03 6 7 $03 6 7 $03 6 7 $03 also appear.
23 Operation Each time the outdoor wind chill temperatu re changes and meets or drops b elow the set temperature, 28 7 287 287 287 and the current readin gs flash and the monitor sounds an alarm for about 1 minute. To silence th e ala rm sooner, press any key.
24 Operation To view the current high or low indoor or out- door relative humidi ty alarm conditions, press the desired %RH , then repea tedly press ALARM until +, +, +, +, $/$50 $/$50 $/$50 $/$50 or /2 /2 /2 /2 $/$50 $/$50 $/$50 $/$50 and the alarm condition appear.
25 Operation was last reset and 6,1&( 6,1&( 6,1&( 6,1&( appear simulta- neously . • Y esterday’s rainfall amount is calcu- lated from 12:00 AM of one day to 12:00 AM on the next day . • If no rainfall is de tected for two consecu- tive hours, appears on the monitor .
26 Operation Viewing and Resetting the Max Wind Speed Record To view the maximum wind speed recorde d since the last memory reset, press MEMOR Y . 0$; 0$; 0$; 0$; appears. The time the wind speed was recorded in memory, the direction the wind was blowing, and 67$ 0 3 67$ 0 3 67$ 0 3 67$ 0 3 appear si multa- neously.
27 Special Features Special Features Note: If the recorded conditions are out of the operating range listed i n the specifica- tions, +++ +++ +++ +++ or /// /// /// /// appears on the monitor. DISCONNECTED SIGNALS If the signal from a sensor was disconnected, appears on the mo nitor.
