About this manual
Thank you and congratulations on selecting this professional weather station! We are positive you will enjoy
the benefits of accurate weather readings and the precise radio controlled time information that our
instruments offer.

Glossary of Common Terms
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in
televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this measurement is called the
barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is pushing
equally in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure.
combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.
The calculation of relative air pressure is a
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International System (SI) of
measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value
Important Note:
Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual.
The touch screen weather station WH1081PC includes a base station(receiver), a transmitter unit, one wind
direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software package on
CD-ROM.
The Base Station is equipped with a Touch Screen LCD Monitor and allows the display of a large variety of
time and weather data.

An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed time and
weather data on a PC.
Important Operation Notes
All actions and functions of the weather station are started on the touch screen by slightly
touching(not pressing!) the related areas, touch the flashing +, ON/OFF or – to make the
corresponding selection or increase the value.
Every time a programming step is activated by touching a switching area on the Touch Screen a tone will
sound, and the back light is switched on for a few seconds as well.
If no areas are pressed for 30 seconds, the LCD will automatically revert to the normal display mode
(automatic time out).

Important Notes:
On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S” and “W” representing for the
direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on
the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the
wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
Wind speed sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket on wind direction sensor.
Wind direction sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor with
marking of “Wind” on top.
The rain sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor with
marking of “Rain” on top.
System Start
Insert two pieces of LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter, the LED located in the middle front case of
transmitter will be turned on for 4 seconds, then it will be off and start to work normally. The transmitter will
make a data transmission. When there is a data transmission happened, the LED will be on for 20ms.
After inserting the batteries into the Weather Station, all LCD segments will be turned on for a few seconds,
all possible display segments are turned on for checking.
After this, the weather station will make initial measurement and start to register the transmitter. Before there
is outdoor data received, it is not allowed to touch the LCD, otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode will
be terminated right after the touch of LCD. When outdoor transmitter has been registered, the Touch Screen
Weather Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further settings can be
performed by the user.
Positioning
Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they can be positioned
in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components work properly
together at their chosen mounting or standing locations.

Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field can reach a
distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees,
vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off radio
communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting locations.
Setting Up
Note: Because of the default settings already determined by the manufacturer it may not be necessary for the
majority of users to perform – except the Relative Air Pressure (see further down) - any further basic
settings. Changes, however, can be easily made.
For basic settings, the following menu is started by touching the Touch Screen in the desired display area.

PC Connection
As an important feature in addition to the display on the Touch Screen, the Weather Station allows
the read-out of all measured and displayed time and weather data in form of complete history data
sets on a PC.
Data Storage
For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the internal storage of up to 4080 complete
sets of weather data with time and date. The base station will loose all weather data if an interruption
- 11 -
of power supply. In case the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the oldest data sets
stored will be overwritten by the new ones entered.
Data Recall
Certain weather data or setting values can only be read out, processed, and displayed by means of a PC.
Also the settings of the storing intervals from 5 minutes to 240 minutes for the storage of data sets can only
be performed by means of a PC.
Connections and Software
The wiring between Weather Station and PC takes place by means of an included USB cable. The
EasyWeather software package, also included in the shipping contents, must be installed on the PC.
This software allows the display of all present weather data with graphic symbols. It also allows the display,
storage, and printing of history data sets, whose volume exceeding the maximum 4080 data sets of the
Weather Station is only limited by the capacity of the PC’s main memory.
PC software installation
The installation of WH1081PC software is very simple: double click the setup.exe file and follow the steps
popped up.
Make sure you are running the program under the administrator accounts of your windows PC platform.
Otherwise the graphic function might not be working when graph display mode is needed to display all history
data.
If you run the program for the first time, the current weather display will be displayed and at the sub line of the
window, the program will show related information regarding the read of all history data into the PC. Please
note however, when there is large amount of data is being uploaded, it will take a few minutes time before the
system can respond to your setup settings. Otherwise it will display “read weather data fail” error message
since the USB port is reading the data from the memory and the system is not able to respond any further job
tasks.
- 12 -
When memory is full, it will take about two minutes to upload all history data into PC and it takes another two
minutes to process all history data for graphic display.

Remark: where outdoor temperature is lower than -20˚C, make sure proper type of batteries to be
used to assure that the device can get enough power to maintain its function properly. Normal
alkaline batteries is not allow to be used since when outdoor temperature is lower than -20 ˚C, the
battery’s discharging capability is greatly reduced.
Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an authorized depot.
