Glossary of Common Terms
DCF/WWVB/MSF
The DCF, WWVB or MSF time signal is an AM modulated time-of-day signal broadcasted by the
Federal Government of Germany, NIST from USA or National Physical Laboratory. The time base
is generated from an atomic time generator which is accurate to 10 billions of one second.
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. The calculation of relative air
pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.
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:
The Professional weather station 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.
An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed time
and weather data on a PC.

Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at there final destination,
please set up the weather station with all parts being nearby for testing the correct function.
Setting up the base station and transmitter
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 and then start radio controlled time
reception routine. If time signal can be detected correctly, the LED will start to flash 5 times, and
then the LED will be on for 20s, indicating time signal has been found correctly. When time signal
is bad and reception is not possible, the transmitter will terminate radio controlled time reception
within one minute and resume normal mode. When there is a data transmission happened, the
LED will be on for 20ms. During radio controlled time reception period, there is no transmission
and normal transmission will only resume after time reception routine is complete. The longest
time for radio controlled time reception is 5 minutes.
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
(the radio reception icon will be turned on). Do not press any key before outdoor sensor data
received, otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode will be terminated. When outdoor
transmitter has been registered, the base station will automatically switch to the normal display
mode from which all further settings can be performed by the user.
If no RCC signal is detected in the initial setup, the transmitter will try once every hour to get an
RCC signal until a signal is received. Once the transmitter receives the RCC signal it will transmit
the signal to the monitor. On the monitor the RCC icon will be displayed, if the monitor doesn’t
receive the RCC signal or loses the signal the RCC icon will not be display.
Register transmitter
If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the sensors is lost during setting up,
mounting, changing of batteries to the sensor or plugging or unplugging cables, simply press and
hold the DOWN/- key for 4 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base station
to sensors. Without being synchronized, weather data will not be received.
NOTE: Wait two minutes before re-insert the batteries of transmitter for proper reset.
Note:
The best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00am – when there is less
atmospheric interference.
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.
Mounting the sensor

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.

As an important feature in addition to the display, 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 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 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.

Special Notes about time synchronization between PC and sub-station:
The PC software obtained its own time scale through the time interval marker from the base station
history data, and the PC software automatically synchronizes the weather data with a time stamp
calculated. Thus the history data file can have different time when the PC time and base station time
is not same. In order to make the time scale correct, remember to set the PC time and base station
time same, and further to this, no weather data is allowed to be missed or over-written. If history
weather memory on the base station is cleared by manual setting, then the history weather data since
last uploading is lost permanently.
Before memory is used up(memory icon on LCD display showing 100% full), remember to upload
weather history data to PC periodically.
If there is a reset happened for the rain fall on the base station, then there will be rain fall value
discrepancy between PC and base station.
