[. . . ] Touch Screen Weather Center Model WS-3610 QUICK SET UP GUIDE 1 Shipping Contents The shipping contents of the WS-3610 Touch Screen Weather Center include a Base Station (Receiver), a Thermo-Hygro Sensor (433 MHz Transmitter), a Rain Sensor and a Wind Sensor, the respective Connecting Cables, an AC Adapter and a CDROM with a Package of PC Software for collected Weather Data. 2 Connections Connect the Rain Sensor and Wind sensor cables to their respectively marked jacks in the Thermo-Hygro sensor BEFORE powering up the Base Station or the ThermoHygro Sensor. The Thermo-Hygro Sensor and Base Station can be directly connected via cable if the wireless 433 MHz radio transmission is not desired, and data transmission free of localized radio interference is an important factor. [. . . ] In all cases the Thermo-Hygro sensor must be powered up prior to the Base Station since the Sensor will send an identification code that must be received and stored by the Base Station within the first few minutes of operation. It is also important to allow the Base Station to operate for at least 15 minutes prior to touching any fields on the display. 5 System Start After inserting the batteries or connecting the AC adapter, the LCD will display all of the digital segments for a few seconds. Immediately after this the Base Station will enter a test mode during which all measured and received weather data is cycled through, updated and displayed for a period of approximately 15 minutes. During this test mode, the unit will not receive the WWVB time signal. Note: The test mode is designed so that you may check all of the cables for correct connection and all of the components for proper function. · To manually test the Wind Sensor: manually turn the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane · To manually test the Rain Sensor: tilt the rain sensor back and forth in order to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw · To manually test the Thermo-Hygro: with both the Base Station and ThermoHygro placed next to each other, compare the INDOOR and OUTDOOR sections of the LCD to make sure that they both produce the same data. After completing the test mode, the Touch Screen Weather Center will automatically switch to the normal display mode in order to perform all other settings. At this point the Base Station will also automatically start searching for the WWVB time signal. 6 Placement After the Weather Station has been checked for correct function with regard to the above points and found fit, the mounting of the system components can take place. It must be ensured however that all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission they can typically be overcome by moving the Thermo-Hygro Sensor. 7 Setting Up · All actions and functions of the Weather Center begin by slightly touching, not pressing, the Touch Screen. The switchable areas appear with a star () symbol in the bottom section of the LCD. · The following selections in the bottom section of the LCD are used to set any function, value, or unit within any mode: ON or OFF, UP or DOWN, or by directly selecting the unit. [. . . ] It further allows the display, storage and printing of history data sets, whose volume exceeds the maximum 1750 data sets of the Base Station, and is only limited by the capacity of the PC's main memory. Furthermore the present weather data can be uploaded to web sites by means of the "Web Publisher" software. History data can be displayed as diagrams and graphs using the "Weather Review" software. For further details on the PC Connection please see the Help File on the installation disk for the software.
