This Operation Manual is part of this product and should be kept in

a safe place for future reference. It contains important notes on

setup and operation.

Please visit our web site www.heavyweather.info for downloads of

complete instruction manuals and the most current version of the

'Heavy Weather' software.

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather

Station.

Designed for everyday use, the weather station will prove to

be an asset of great value for your personal use in the home

or office.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly to fully under-

stand the features and functions so that you can enjoy the

safe and correct operation of this unique product.

2. Intended Use

Weather Station

The base station measures the indoor environment of its

surrounding area and receives weather data from the follow-

ing three outdoor sensors:

1) Thermo-Hygro Sensor

2) Wind Sensor

3) Rain Sensor

The received data is continuously updated to bring you the

latest weather information on the base station’s LCD. The

thermo-hygro sensor is the main data communication unit

since both the wind and rain sensors are connected to the

thermo-hygro sensor for operating power and rely on it to

communicate to the base station. Weather data sent from the

thermo-hygro sensor can be done by wireless 433MHz trans-

mission (up to 100 meters in open space) or by cable connec-

tion.

Using the enclosed 2 meter computer cable and CD-ROM,

you can install the Heavy Weather software to your PC and

upload all the received weather data from the base station.

Access the latest weather information from your PC and

upload up to 175 sets of recorded weather data by the base

station and generate useful statistics and charts onto your

spreadsheets (175 sets of data is stored in the base even if

the PC is switched OFF). The software itself does not set any

limits as to how many data sets that can be transferred to PC.

This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC.

There are no tedious requirements to turn your PC ON or

OFF, simply connect and disconnect the PC cable at any time.

System Requirements for PC use:

The minimum system requirement for use of this “Heavy

Weather” software is:

Operating system: Windows 98 or above

Processor: Pentium 166 MHz or above

RAM: 32MB of RAM or above

Hard disk: 20MB free space

CD-ROM drive

For full details on operation and installation of the “Heavy

Weather” software refer to the PC manual in PDF format on

the CD-ROM.

Features of the base station:

• Dew point temperature display

• Weather forecast display by weather icons (sunny,

cloudy, rainy)

• Weather tendency indicator

• Storm warning alarm

• LED back light

• Simultaneous display of all weather data with individual

settings by the user

• COM port for easy connection to your PC

• All the weather data from the base station and up to 175

sets of weather history data with user adjustable measur-

ing intervals can be recorded and uploaded to your PC

Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor

The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature

and relative humidity. It also collects the readings from the

rain and wind sensors before transmitting the data to the base

station by wireless 433MHz or by the 10 meter cable included

in this set.

Features of Wind sensor

The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and

sends the data to thermo-hygro sensor which in turn transmits

the data to the base station. Operating power is taken from

the thermo-hygro sensor using a 10 meter cable connection.

Features of Rain sensor

The rain sensor measures the rainfall and sends the data to

thermo-hygro sensor which in turn transmits the data to the

base station. Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro

sensor by a 10 meter cable connection.

5. Setting up

Firstly, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or

batteries for operation. Both these methods allow for opera-

tion of using wireless 433MHz transmission or cable connec-

tion between the base station and the sensors and setting up

for both methods is as follows:

Base Station:

Socket for

Adaptor

Battery

compartment

PC COM

Port

Socket for sensor

Setting up using batteries:

Battery

Compartment

Battery Cover

Thermo-Hygro Sensor

Sensor

sockets

Sensor

sockets

Important: To avoid operating problems, please take note

of battery polarity if inserting any batteries

1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to

reveal the three sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor

and the base station)

2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to

the corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by

clicking them into place

3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor

located below the three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC

LR6, 1.5V batteries and close the cover

4) Open the base station’s battery cover located at the back

of the unit and insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into

the battery compartment and close the battery cover

Setting up using the AC adaptor:

1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using

batteries above

2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains

outlet and power up the base station by inserting the

adaptor jack into the 6.0V DC socket located on the side

of the base station

Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for exam-

ple after a change of batteries), a random security code is

transmitted and this code must be synchronized with the base

station to receive weather data.

When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound

and all LCD segments will light up for about 5 seconds before

it enters into a 15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors

security code. After the learning mode (or by pressing the

MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base station will start the

DCF77 radio controlled time reception.

Note for DCF77 Radio Controlled Time:

The time and date display is based on the signal provided by

a highly accurate Caesium atomic clock operated by the

Physikalisch Technische Bundesamt in Braunschweig (Ger-

many). This radio-controlled clock does not only provide for

the weather station’s time and date display but also functions

as the time source for all of this weather station’s memory and

history values using time and date information.

LED backlight:

When using the power adaptor or under battery operation, the

LED backlight will switch on for 15 seconds when any key is

pressed.

6. Operation using cable connection or wireless

433MHz

Cable Connection:

Using this method of operation will provide interference free

transfer of the weather data from the sensors to the base

station. The data sending interval from the sensors to the

base station will also be more frequent compared to using

433MHz transmission and will result in higher power con-

sumption. Therefore batteries will have a shorter life span for

cable connection compared to using 433MHz.

To operate using cable connection, simply use the enclosed

10 meter cable and connect the thermo-hygro sensor to the

base station. Once the connection is detected, the base sta-

tion will automatically continue reading the data from the

sensor.

The user may at any time switch from cable connection to

using 433MHz (or vice versa) by simply disconnecting (or

connecting) the cable from the base station to the sensor.

When the base station detects no cable connection to the

sensors, the existing data reading interval is changed to the

new reading interval, i.e. using cable connection is every 8

seconds data reading interval or from 32 seconds - 128 sec-

onds intervals when using 433MHz (depending on wind

speed)

Using the AC adaptor to operate the base station will also

supply power to the sensor if the cable is connected to it.

Batteries used for 433MHz transmission may be left in the

sensor when using cable connection for power back-up in

case of AC power failure. A loss of power would desynchro-

nize the base station and the sensor and no weather data will

be received. To Synchronize the units so that the weather

data can be received, press and hold the PLUS(+) for 2 sec-

onds. However in general, batteries that will not be used for

long periods should be removed to avoid leakage.

Wireless 433MHz transmission:

Using 433MHz wireless transmission of weather data from the

sensor to the base station will provide users greater freedom

as to where units can be positioned without the need to be

restricted by cable.

Note:

If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the

sensors is lost during setting up, mounting, changing of batter-

ies to the sensor or plugging or unplugging cables, simply

press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short

beep will sound to synchronize the base station to sensors.
