1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather Sta-
tion.
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 understand
the features and functions so that you can enjoy the safe and cor-
rect operation of this unique product.
2. Intended Use
Weather Station
The base station measures the indoor environment of its surround-
ing area and receives weather data from the following 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 transmission (up to 100 meters in open space) or
by cable connection.
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
53
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
Installation for the USB adapter driver
1- Find the Heavy Weather CD-ROM within the packaging.
2- Plug in the USB adapter to the computer.
3- Follow the Windows Installation steps to find the driver.
Select “ Install from a list of specific location (Advanced)”
4- Install the CD-ROM to CD drive.
5- From the list that appears select:
E:\USB\ where E: is the location of the CD drive.
Note:
For the latest USB adapter driver, please visit:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
For the detail installation instruction for the USB adaptor, please visit:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm
After installing the USB Adapter Driver check in Device Manager to confirm
that Windows has recognized the adapter:
To determine which COM Port your USB adapter is on:
1- Find MY COMPUTER and “right click” the icon.
2- Select MANAGE.
3- Click on DEVICE MANAGER.
54
4- You should see COM Ports listed with numbers after them Ex: Com-
munications Port (COM 1), USB to Serial Bridge (COM 4).
If you do not see a COM setting, your computer does not recognize
your USB driver.
5- If the USB adapter is not on COM port 1, 2, 3 or 4 you will need to
change it.
6- Double click the COM Port Ex: (COM 7) this will bring up a Communi-
cations Port Properties Box. Click the Port Settings Tab, Click Ad-
vanced.
7- Click the Drop Down next to the COM port number and select Com 1,
2, 3, or 4. If they are IN USE see your computer person BEFORE
changing.
After configuring the adapter, connect the weather station and open the
Heavy Weather software. Click SETUP button and select the proper COM
Port. Data should begin to download within a minute or two.

55
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 measuring 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 ther-
mo-hygro sensor using a 10 meter cable connection.
Features of Rain sensor
The rain sensor measures the rainfall and sends the data to ther-
mo-hygro sensor which in turn transmits the data to the base sta-
tion. Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor by a
10 meter cable connection.

Setting up using batteries:
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 bat-
teries 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 bat-
tery compartment and close the battery cover
Setting up using the AC adaptor:
1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using bat-
teries above
2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet
and power up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack in-
to the 6.0V DC socket located on the side of the base station
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example
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 any-
time), 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 (Germany). 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.
LCD backlight:
When using the power adaptor or under battery operation, the LCD
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 trans-
fer 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 consumption. 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 sta-
tion. Once the connection is detected, the base station will automat-
ically 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 read-
ing 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 seconds 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 desynchronize 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 seconds. 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.
