2. Next, insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and Rain sensor (optional -
purchased separately) See “How to install and replace the batteries into the
Thermo-hygro sensor“ and “How to install and replace the batteries into the
Rain sensor (optional)” below.
3. Then insert the batteries into the Weather Center (See “How to install and replace
the batteries into the Weather Center” below). Once the batteries are installed, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly. It will then display the time as 12:00, the
date as 1.1.09, the weather icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for
outdoor data.
4. Afterwards, the Weather Center will start receiving data from the transmitter. The
transmission reception icon will be blinking to indicate that the station is trying to get
the thermo-hygro transmitter data. The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data
should then be displayed on the Weather Center. If this does not happen after 135
seconds, the batteries will need to be removed from all units. You will have to start
again from step 2.
5. The transmitter reception icon is now blinking again to indicate that the station is
trying to get the rain sensor data. It will stop blinking once the rain sensor has been
detected. If this does not happen after 135 seconds, you will need to start again from
step 2.
6. You should check the cable for correct connections and test all the components for
correct functionality by manually turning the wind-gauge and by moving the wind-
vane; tilting the optional rain sensor to hear the impact of the internal moving seesaw,
etc. (See Positioning below).
7. Time and date must be manually set (See Manual Setting below).
8. After the Weather Center has been tested 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.
For example, if there appears to be problems with the 915 MHz radio transmission,
they can mostly be overcome by slightly changing the mounting locations or turning
the base station.
Note:
The radio communication between the receiver and the transmitters in the open field
reaches distances of up to 330 feet/ 100 meters, provided there are no interfering
obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.

9. Radio interferences created by cordless phones, PC screens, radios or TV sets can
in some cases entirely cut off radio communication. Please consider this when
choosing standing or mounting locations.
Note :
After batteries are installed in the transmitter, install the batteries in the weather
center to receive the signal from the transmitters as soon as possible. If the weather
center is powered more than 5 hours after the transmitter is powered, the weather
center will never receive signal successfully from the transmitters. In this case, you
will need to reinstall the batteries from all the transmitters to redo set-up procedure.
After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between Weather Center
and the transmitters. At this time, the signal reception icon
will be blinking. When
the signal is successfully received by the Weather Center, the
icon will be
switched on (If it is not successful, the
icon will not be shown).
The short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is in progress.
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45
seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45
seconds. If still not successful, the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This
will also be done for re-synchronization.
