1 General

The shipping contents of the Touch Screen Weather Station WS-3650

include a Base Station (Receiver), a Thermo-Hygro Sensor (868 MHz

transmitter), Rain Sensor (868MHz transmitter) and Wind Sensor, an

AC/DC Adapter and a PC Software Package on CD-ROM.

The Base Station is equipped with a Touch Screen LCD Monitor

and allows by use of comprehensive menu control the display of

a vast variety of time and weather data (from top to bottom):

• Radio Controlled Time (Time)

• Calendar (Date)

• Weather Forecast (Tendency)

• Air Pressure and Air Pressure History (Pressure, Pressure

History)

• Indoor Temperature and Humidity (Indoor Temp, Humidity)

• Wind

• Rain (Rain)

• Outdoor Temperature and Humidity (Outdoor Temp,

Humidity)

Furthermore the display of a number of additional data can be

realised by use of certain switching combinations (see further

down).

Note: In case the menu is used all these indications are

temporarily replaced by the menu steps directly operable

from the text section.

As an important feature exceeding the display on the LCD

Monitor the Weather Station allows by cable and software

the readout of all measured and displayed time and weather

data in form of complete history data sets, their processing

and graphic presentation on a PC as well as their tie on to

Internet Web Sites.

2 Important Touch Screen Operating Notes generally

applicable

• All actions and functions of the Weather Station are started

on the Touch Screen by slightly touching (not pressing!) the

switching areas appearing in star (٭) symbols (only in the

text section at the bottom of the LCD) or the displayed

values respectively.

• 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.

• Advancing to any next respective menu step with ٭NEXT٭,

leaving or terminating all respective modes with ٭EXIT٭.

• Every programming step activated by touching a switching

area on the Touch Screen is being acknowledged by an

acoustic signal (with buzzer switched ON).

• If during any process previously activated by use of the

Touch Screen no further action is activated for about 30

seconds the active process is automatically terminated and

switched back to the normal display mode (automatic time

out).

3 Putting into Operation

Note: When putting the Weather Station into operation it is

important to tentatively perform in close proximity (e. g. on

a table) a complete wiring and setup of the system in the

configuration of its prospective use. This measure serves

to test all components for correct function before placing

and mounting them at their final destinations.

3.1 Power supply

The provision of power to the Weather Station can be performed

by use of batteries, or by AC/DC mains adapter

1. Unwind the cable of the Wind sensor. Connect the Wind

sensor to the Thermo-hygro transmitter by plugging the

connector head into the socket of the Thermo-hygro

transmitter.

2. First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro transmitter.

3. Then insert batteries into the Rain sensor.

4. Insert the batteries into the Weather Station (or use the

provided AC/DC adapter (power up into a main outlet). Once

the batteries are installed, all segments of the LCD will light

up briefly and a short signal tone will be heard. It will then

display the time as 0:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather

icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor

data.

5. Afterwards, the Weather Station will start receiving data from

the transmitters. The outdoor temperature, humidity windchill

and wind speed should then be displayed on the Weather

Station. If this does not happen after 45 seconds, the

batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will

have to start again from step 2.

6. The transmitter reception icon is now blinking again to

indicate that the station is trying to receive the rain sensor

data. It will stop blinking once the rain sensor has been

detected. If this doesn’t happen after 45s, you need to start

again from step 2.

Note: if no thermo-hygro transmitter is detected, the weather

station will display the message "THERMO TX OUT OF

RANGE“; if no rain sensor has been detected, the message

"RAIN TX OUT OF RANGE“ will be display in the text section

(last two lines on the LCD).

7. You may then check all cables for correct connection and all

components for correct function by manually turning the

wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane, tilting the rain sensor

to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc (See

Placement below).

8. After the Weather Station has been checked for correct

function with regard to the above points and found fit, the

initial set up of the weather station system is finished and 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

e.g. there appear to be problems with the 868 MHz radio

transmission, they can mostly be overcome by slightly

changing the mounting locations.

Note:

The radio communication between the receiver and the

transmitter in the open field reaches distances of max 100

metres, provided there are no interfering obstacles such as

buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.

9. Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV

sets can in some cases entirely cut off radio communication.

Please take this into consideration when choosing standing

or mounting locations.

Important:it is important to observe this order of succession

since the sensors will send an identification code

which has to be received and stored by the Base

Station within the first few minutes of operation.

After doing this full operation of the entire Weather Station

System is ensured.

Note: If batteries are inserted in the weather station after

connecting the AC/DC, the batteries will serve as a

back-up power source for the weather station in case of

electrical failure.

3.2 System Start

After completing the play mode the Touch Screen Weather

Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from

which all further settings can be performed by the user. At this

point of time the unit will also automatically start reception of the

DCF77 time information.

Note:In case the user wants to start the system without waiting

for completion of the play mode it can be terminated

prematurely by once touching the TIME display in the

upper left corner of the LCD.

3.3 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 e.g. there appear to be

problems with the 868 MHz radio transmission they can mostly

be overcome by slightly moving the mounting locations.

Note:Commonly the radio communication between receiver and

transmitter in the open field reaches distances of 100

meters maximum, providing that there are no interfering

obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage

lines, etc.

Radio interferences created by 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.

The Thermo-hygro Sensor

An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be

the outer wall beneath the extension of a roof, as this will protect

the sensor from direct sunlight and other extreme weather

conditions.

To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the

desired wall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and

secure both parts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure

that the cables from the wind and rain sensors are correctly

plugged in otherwise data transmission errors could occur.

Wall Bracket

Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate

freely before fixing the unit. For correct and accurate readings it

is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is

pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be

mounted using the screw or cable tie provided onto a solid wall/

panel mast or mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor

unhindered from all directions (ideal mast size should be from

diameter 16mm to 33mm).

Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable

to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that

operating power supply can be received and data can be

transmitted to the base station.

The Rain Sensor

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted

onto a horizontal surface about 1 meter above the ground and in

an open area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall

may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.

When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect

and store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the

base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).

The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very

slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor

funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be received and

displayed at the base station after about 2 minutes delay i.e.

when the reading interval is reached.

4 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 - outside possibly the Relative Air

Pressure (see further down) - any further basic settings.

Changes however can easily be realized if desired.

For basic settings the following menu is started by touching the

Touch Screen in the center of the text display (last two lines on

the LCD). Touching the display ٭SETUP٭will enter the setup

mode.

The basic settings can now be performed in the following

successive order:
