Installation 5.1 Main Unit The main unit can be placed onto any flat surface (C3), or wall mounted by the hanging hole (C1) at the back of the unit. 5.2 Outdoor Thermo sensor The remote sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface. Note: Transmissions between receiver and transmitter can reach up to 30m in open area. Open Area: there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc. 5.3 Wind Sensor Using the U‐bolt, 2x nuts and 2 x washers, secure the wind speed sensor to a stable mast/antenna/pole. 6. Weather Forecast Function 6.1 Operation After Batteries inserted, or holding “WEATHER” button (B5) for 3 seconds, weather icon flash (A10) on the LCD. Enter the current weather pressing “-” (B7) or “+ “(B6) button. Press “WEATHER” (B5) button to confirm the setting. The weather forecast may not be accurate if the current weather entered is not correct. The current weather status should be entered again if the altitude of the Main Unit is changed. (Barometric pressure is lower at higher altitude location. Therefore, altitude change will affect the weather forecast). The weather station will start the first forecast at 6 hours later after the current weather status is entered. 6.2 Weather Conditions There are totally 5 different weather status animations in the weather forecast. Sunny Slightly Cloudy Rain Cloudburst Cloudy Note: Freezing or Snow “ is shown if the weather forecast is Rainy OR Cloudburstand and 7. outdoor temperature under 0°C. If there is any inconsistency of weather forecast between Local Weather Station and this unit, the Local Weather Station's forecast should prevail. We will not hold responsible for any trouble that may come up due to wrong forecasting from this unit. Barometric Pressure Reading Press “‐“button (B7) to select the barometric pressure readout in inHg or mb/hPa 7.1 Barometric Trend Pointer (A9) The trend pointer displayed on the LCD (A9) indicates the trend of the Barometric pressure. Indicating the barometric pressure trend is rising Indicating the barometric pressure trend is steady Indicating the barometric pressure trend is falling 7.2 Absolute / Relative Air Pressure Press the “REL/ABS” button [B5] to toggle between Absolute or Relative pressure display. “Abs” is shown for Absolute Pressure; “Rel” is shown for Relative pressure Absolute pressure is the actual pressure measured by the Main Unit Hold “REL/ABS/WEATHER” button [B5] for 3 seconds, to set the current weather forecast firstly. Once the current weather forecast icon is set and confirmed, the relative air pressure digit will begin to flash. Press “‐” (B7) or “+ “(B6) button to set the local relative air pressure, and press “REL/ABS/WEATHER” button (B5) to confirm. Note: Check your local weather station for Sea Level pressure information 7.3 Barometric Pressure Bar Graph The Barometric Pressure Reading at 0hr, –1hr (pressure one hour ago),‐2hr (pressure 2 hours ago),‐3hr,‐6hr, ‐12hr,‐24hr, ‐30hr is recorded and shown on Barometric Pressure Bar Graph [A12]. The Graph is displayed in both hPa and inHg 8. Thermometer 8.1 RF Transmission Procedure: The main unit automatically starts receiving transmission from outdoor thermo sensor for outdoor temperature after batteries are inserted. The remote sensor unit will automatically transmit temperature & humidity signal to the main unit after batteries inserted. If main unit failed to receive transmission from outdoor thermo sensor (“‐ ‐ . –”display on the LCD), manually by pressing TX (D9) button of the remote sensor to transmit temperature & humidity signal to the main unit manually. The main unit gives a “beep” sound if it received the signal. 8.2 Temperature & Humidity (1) Maximum / Minimum Temperature and Humidity Press “MAX/MIN” button (B4) to show the maximum recorded Indoor /Outdoor Temperature and Humidity. “MAX” is shown on the LCD Press “MAX/MIN” button (B4) again to show the minimum recorded Indoor/Outdoor Temperature and Humidity. “MIN” is shown on the LCD. Hold “MAX/MIN” button (B4) for 3 seconds to clear the recorded outdoor maximum and minimum reading. (2) Celsius / Fahrenheit Press “°C /°F” button (B6) to select Indoor & Outdoor Temperature in Celsius mode or Fahrenheit mode. Press the “°C /°F” button [D8] on the rear thermo sensor inside the battery compartment to select the temperature to be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit mode If the temperature is out of the measurable range, LL.L (beyond the minimum temperature) or HH.H (beyond the maximum temperature) will be shown on the LCD. 9. Wind Speed Plug the wind sensor into the side of the remote sensor (D3). The wind speed reading will change from dashes (‐ ‐ . –) to “0.0” indicating that the wind speed sensor is connected to the remote sensor. Press the “Wind Chill/Gust” (B8) button to toggle wind chill or gust display Hold the “Wind Chill/Gust” (B8) button for 3 seconds to change the wind unit: m/s Æ knots Æ kmph Æ mph Wind speed bar z Wind speed bar display with 1‐12 Beaufort unit 10. Time and Alarm Setting 10.1 Radio Controlled Clock: At 2 minutes after batteries have been inserted into the main unit, the clock automatically starts to scan the WWVB time signal. Radio Control Icon “ ” (A1) flashes on LCD. (A1) flashes,, (A1) turns on, (A1) disappear, Indicating now is receiving Indicating signal received WWVB signal successfully Indicating signal reception failed The clock automatically synchronized with the WWVB radio signal every day at 2:00 a.m. to maintain accurate time keeping. If synchronization with the WWVB radio signal fails,“ ” on LCD disappear and the clock then attempts to synchronize with the WWVB radio signal at 3:00 am, 4am, and 5am. The clock can be set to scan the radio signal manually by holding “ ” button (B13) for 3 seconds. Each reception takes several minutes. If the WWVB signal reception fail, scanning stops (“ ” disappear from the LCD) and the clock then attempt to scan the radio signal again on next full hour. E.g. scanning failed at 8:20a.m., it will scan again at 9:00a.m. Stop scanning WWVB radio signal by holding “ ” button (B13) for 3 seconds. “DST” shown on the LCD if it is in Daylight Saving Time Mode Note: Buttons will not function while scanning for WWVB radio signal unless they are well received or stopped manually. 10.2 Manual Time Setting: Hold “MODE” button (B4) for 3 seconds to enter Clock/Calendar setting mode.
