[. . . ] If the intervals are longer, then the possible recording time is also longer and the resolution of the weather data is lesser. This data can be useful if you are using thrid party software. (Software not supported by manufacturer. ) Select the "SYSTEM" menu and then the "INTERVALL" option (via BEEP, and DST); the display is: INTERVALL + 05 - Touch the "+" or "-" fields to set the interval time (OFF (data logger is off ), 5 minutes to 60 minutes). You will find in the following section a few examples for the relationship between interval time and recording time Interval time Max. Recording time 5 minutes 0. 4 days (250 hours) 0 minutes 20. 8 days (500 hours) 30 minutes 62. 5 days (500 hours) 60 minutes 25 days (3000 hours) "ALTITUDE", Adjust the location height above sea level The standard altitude is used for calculating the relative air pressure at sea level with reference to the absolute air pressure at the location. This relative value is important as a reference for correctly interpreting the weather reports that refer to the relative air pressure. Select the "SYSTEM" menu and then the "ALTITUDE" option (via BEEP, DST and INTERVALL), the display is: ALTITUDE ENTER You can determine your height above sea level in different ways: - You can find the height in a topographic map or ask your local land registry office. - If you have a GPS navigation system in the car or a mobile device you can take over the position details and you will thus have the exact location. - You can also find out the height above sea level from the Internet. 25 - Touch the "ENTER" field, the display is: ALTITUDE + 0000 - - Touch the "+" or "-" fields to set the geographical altitude of this location above sea level (height above sea level) Wait for a few seconds; the corrected data for the relative air pressure will then appear on the display. Alternatively, the value can also be entered via the optional PC program. "RAIN CAL", Enter the comparison value for the rain sensor The rain quantity measurement system has a high level of accuracy when it leaves the factory; so normally, no adjustments are required. The comparison value must firstly be determined in the normal mode according to the steps described in "Calibrating the rainfall measurement recorder". Select the "SYSTEM" menu and then the "RAIN CAL" option (via BEEP, DST, INTERVALL, ALTITUDE); the display is: RAIN CAL Touch the "ENTER" field, the display is: RAIN CAL + 295 ENTER Touch the "+" or "-" fields to set the value that has been calculated earlier. Wait for a few seconds; the device will then go back to the normal mode. Alternatively, the value can also be entered via the PC program. "SUN CAL", Configure brightness threshold value for duration of sunshine The weather station WS 2-550 finds out the sunshine duration along with the combi-sensor TX 550 US. The threshold value is set at the base station and transferred to the combi-sensor. The latter performs the data evaluation: Received brightness is higher than the threshold value Sun is shining Received brightness is lesser than the threshold value Sun does not shine The brightness limit can be used to customize the sensor to the local conditions. The 26 threshold value should be defined at the start and end of sunshine so that the current brightness value can be referred to the threshold. Select the "SYSTEM" menu and then the "SUN CAL" option (via BEEP, DST, INTERVALL, ALTITUDE, RAIN CAL), the display is: SUN CAL Touch the "ENTER" field, the display is: SUN CAL 3 + 085 ENTER Reduce the threshold value Currently set threshold value Increase the threshold value Current brightness value Touch the "+" or "-"areas to set the threshold value. Wait a few seconds; the device switches back to the normal mode. You cannot directly convert to the brightness intensity unit Lux. 3. 3. 8. "CLEANING", menu, Cleaning mode As the display gets dirty due to touching, it needs to be cleaned now and then using a dry soft cloth (the best option is to use a spectacles cleaning cloth; however, do not use any cleaning liquids as they can damage the display). To prevent the station from getting displaced while cleaning, there is a cleaning mode where all the touch fields are locked for approx. Select the "CLEANING" menu: NEXT CLEANING ENTER Touch the "ENTER" field, the display is: CLEANING START - Touch the "START" field, the display is: CLEANING WAIT - The display can now be cleaned. [. . . ] Operation is subject to the following two conditions: () this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation The responsible party for this device compliance is: La Crosse Technology 6A Rue du commerce 678 GEISPOLSHEIM - FRANCE 42 Appendix A: Menu Overview WS 550 US Main menu MIN MAX RESET RESET RAIN RESET SUN RESET MIN-MAX CLEANING SENSOR LIGHTING LIGHTING BRIGHT CTRL BEGIN END TIME YEAR MONTH DAY WEEKDAY HOUR MINUTE BEGIN END TEMPERATURE PRESSURE RAIN LATITUDE LONGITUDE TIMEZONE BEEP DST INTERVALL ALTITUDE RAIN CAL SUN CAL CFG TIME/DATE LIVE MODE UNITS POSITION SYSTEM 43 Appendix B: Table of latitude/longitude of French counties.
