OVERVIEW OF FEATURES
WEATHER STATION MAIN UNIT:
The main unit measures the indoor environment temperature and humidity and receives
weather and time data from the two outdoor wireless sensors. The following sensors send data
back to the main unit:
1. Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer/Atomic Clock Sensor
2. Wireless Wind Sensor
The wireless weather station receives the wireless sensor data continuously, updating you with
the latest and most accurate weather information on the large, easy-to-read LCD display, using
icons and trend indicators. The weather station main unit also provides you with weather
information, at-a-glance. Enjoy using the weather station either on the wall, using the hanging
slot by fastening with a nail or provided screw, or on a desktop, using the included snap-on foot
stand.
The professional wireless weather station is composed of the following features:
• Displays the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) WWVB Radio Controlled
time and date
• Receives and displays weather data, with programmable alarms for certain weather
conditions, and records all minimum and maximum values
• Indoor/outdoor temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius (user selectable)
• Indoor/outdoor relative humidity
• Air pressure reading in Hg or hPa
• Weather forecast with weather icons and trend indicators
• Wind speed and wind direction display with LCD compass
• Wind chill temperature display
• Heat index temperature display
• Dew point temperature display
• Time, temperature and storm alarms
• Buttons for use: MAX (+), MIN (-), DISPLAY (daily record), CLEAR, PRESSURE SET-UP
(on/off/record), ALARM, CHANNEL (off/wave), SNOOZE (alarm off)
NIST WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED ATOMIC SIGNAL DESCRIPTION:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology government operated WWVB atomic radio
signal, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, is the most accurate radio signal, used by television,
radio and military for the most split-second time and date information. The time and date
display on this weather station is based on the signal provided by the atomic clock in Colorado.
WIRELESS WIND SPEED SENSOR: The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and
transmits this information to the main unit display. The data is sent by a 433MHz radio
controlled wireless transmission. Transmission can be received up to 100 feet away in an open
area.
GETTING STARTED
MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS:
The wireless transmission distance from the thermo-hygrometer sensor and wind speed sensor
to the main unit in open space under ideal conditions is 100ft. Although the signal transmission
may travel through solid surfaces or objects, Try to place the wireless sensors and main unit in a
location with minimal obstructions. The following points should be avoided if possible.
• High density of large trees.
• High Radio frequency areas.
• Low-E Glass.
• Thick concrete, stone or brick.
• The main unit, thermo-hygrometer and wind speed sensors should not be mounted to metal
surfaces as this can reduce range of transmission.
• Prior to drilling mounting holes and permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the
main unit con receive the signal from the remote sensors in the desired location.
• For best reception of the signal from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, place the
sensor in a location with a direction towards Colorado.
• The WWVB signal will be obtained easiest in the nighttime hours when the signal is the
strongest.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
MAIN UNIT:
The included foot mount can be attached to the
bottom of the main unit for easy placement on
any flat surface. Alternatively, the main unit can
be wall mounted in the desired location by using
the hang hole on the back of the unit.
WIRELESS THERMO-HYGROMEMTER SENSOR:
The best place to mount the thermo-hygrometer
sensor is in a location out of direct sunlight and
protected by extreme weather conditions, such
as under the extension of the home roof, under
a covered patio or deck. Mount the bracket that
the thermo-hygrometer sensor will set in at
about eye level by using the four included
screws. Once the bracket has been properly
affixed in the desired location, place the sensor
in the bracket holder. The thermo-hygrometer
wireless sensor may also be mounted on a pole;
which is outlined in the section “OPTIONAL
POLE MOUNTING.”
WIRELESS THERMO-HYGROMETER ATOMIC CLOCK SENSOR:
The thermo-hygrometer atomic clock sensor measures the outdoor temperature and relative
humidity. It also includes the radio controlled atomic clock transmitter, which receives data
from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, and then sends the received data back to the
main unit display. The data is sent by a 433MHz radio controlled wireless transmission.
Transmission can be received up to 100 feet away in an unobstructed open area.
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Philips type screwdriver: for optional surface mounting of the wireless sensor / brackets.
