TOUCH-SCREEN WEATHER STATION MODEL
WS-3510
QUICK OPERATION GUIDE
1 Shipping Contents
The shipping contents of the touch-screen weather station WS3510 include the touch-screen weather station, a remote
temperature/humidity sensor, the respective connecting cables,
an AC adapter and the PC software package on CD-ROM.
2 Connections
The use of the direct cable connection between the touch-screen
weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor depends on
the chosen operating mode (see Item 3 Power Supply).
3 Power Supply
Depending on the type of data transmission from remote temperature/humidity sensor to touch-screen weather station, the units can be
supplied with power in the following possible combinations:
•
With cable connection or 433 MHz wireless transmission: touchscreen weather station batteries, remote temperature/humidity
sensor batteries.
•
With 433 MHz wireless transmission: touch-screen weather station
AC adapter, remote temperature/humidity sensor batteries.
•
With cable connection: Both units supplied by AC adapter.
The last mentioned cable connection avoids battery wear-out and
allows data transmission less prone to interferences.
4 Putting into Operation
For transmission security, first the remote temperature/humidity sensor
and in immediate after the touch-screen weather station must be put
into operation by power being applied to it.
By doing this full scale operation of the total system of the touch-screen
weather station is ensured.
5
It is beneficial to tentatively put the system into operation in close
proximity (e. g. on a table) in order to ensure correct function in the
configuration it is intended to be used.
5 System Start
After inserting the batteries or respectively connecting the AC adapter
the LCD of the touch-screen weather station will for a few seconds
display all possible segments.
Immediately after this the unit will enter the check mode during which
for about 15 minutes all measured and received weather data are being
switched through, updated and displayed.
This phase allows the user of the touch-screen weather station to check
all cables for correct connection and all components for correct
function.
After completing the check mode – which can also be terminated
prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the upper left section
of the LCD – the touch-screen weather station will automatically switch
to the normal display mode from which all further setting can be
performed by the user.
Note:
•
Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take
place after completion of the check mode (approx. 15 minutes).
This mode can however be discontinued and the time and date can
be set manually.
•
Prior to manual setting or reception of WWVB radio-controlled time
information there will be no recording of weather history data.
6 Placement
After the touch-screen 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 from their chosen mounting or
standing locations. If there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz
wireless transmission they can mostly be overcome by slightly moving
the mounting locations.

7 Setting Up
•
All settings of the touch-screen weather station are performed by
means of menu steps in the text section of the touch-screen
weather station (last two lines on the lower part of the LCD). This
menu for basic settings and basic displays is started by slightly
touching (not pressing!) the center of the text display during
normal display mode.
•
All further actions and functions of the touch-screen weather
station are started by touching the switching areas appearing in
star (٭) symbols (in the text section only) or the displayed values
on the touch screen respectively.
•
For a number of value displays touching the display twice will lead
to further displays or functions. All setting and display facilities only
pertain to the presently displayed value or function.
•
The setting of functions, values and units is in all modes performed
by use of the switching areas ٭ON٭ or ٭OFF٭, ٭UP٭ or ٭DOWN٭
or by direct unit selection.
•
Advance to any next menu step with ٭NEXT٭, leave or terminate
all respective modes with ٭EXIT٭.
•
Every programming step activated by touching a switching area on
the touch screen is acknowledged by an audible signal (with
buzzer switched ON).
•
If during any process previously activated by use of the touch
screen no further action is activated for about 20 seconds, the
active process is automatically terminated and switched back to the
normal display mode (automatic time-out).
8 PC Connection
Note:
Please read the Help file on your CD-ROM before connecting the
WS 3510 to your PC.
An important feature exceeding the mere display on the LCD, the
touch-screen weather station allows the read-out of all measured and
displayed time and weather data in the form of complete history data
sets on a PC.
The wiring between touch-screen weather station and PC takes place
by means of the included COM port cable. Furthermore the “Heavy
7
Weather Pro“ software package also included in the shipping contents
must be installed on the PC.
For further details to the subject “PC Connection“ please see the Help
File on the installation disk.
Note:
•
When first putting the touch-screen weather station into operation
the history memory will be empty (no data).
•
Data read-out by means of the PC is only possible after at least 3
data sets have been stored (15 minutes after setting of a valid
time). It is therefore recommended to connect the PC and start the
Heavy Weather Pro software only after this time period has
passed.
Important Note:
•
User is recommended to carefully read the main operation
manual for set up details. And further utilization of the PC
program refers to the "Help" file (opened by clicking the Ques-
tion mark button in menu bar) of the Heavy Weather program.
(The Wind and Rain measurements are not applicable to the
model WS-3510.)
