6. Deﬁnition of terms

Dew Point:

The dew point (Dew Point) refers to the point at which

the air releases water vapour in the form of fog and / or

condensate.

Example: if the air is cooled down constantly and

the air humidity stays the same, the relative air hu-

midity increases to 100 %. This means that the dew

point has been reached and the cooled air contains

the maximum possible water vapour at this temperature.

Heat Index:

The heat index (Heat Index) is the air temperature

felt on the human body taking into consideration

the measured air temperature and the air humidity.

Wind Chill:

The wind chill (Wind Chill) refers to the diﬀerence

between the measured (air temperature) and the tem-

perature felt on the human body, which depends on

the wind speed. The wind chill is the measurement

used for wind-dependant cooling of an object.

Humans feel this wind chill particularly on the face.

As wind chill can only be calculated for temperatures

close to or under the 0 °C limit, it is mostly replaced

by the heat index for higher temperatures (Heat Index).

8. Commissioning

WARNING!

Familiarize yourself with the weather station, wind

gauge and rain gauge before assembly. The operating

instructions are easier to understand if you are hold-

ing the devices in your hand while reading them.

Setting up the weather station:

The weather station comes with a pre-assembled

stand, making it easy to set up the weather station

in the desired position.

1

PH0 0.5 x 3

ø 5 mm 5 mm

10 mm

Weather station – wall mounting:

1. Mark the drill holes (horizontal distance approxi-

mately 11.3 cm) for the weather station and

make sure that no electrical or water lines will be

damaged before drilling the holes (ø 5 mm).

2. Push the dowel into the drilled hole until it is

ﬂush with the wall.

3. Screw the supplied screws into the dowels,

allowing them to protrude slightly for the weather

station to be hung on.

The pre-assembled stand can be removed from the

weather station. Fold the stand downwards and pull

it out of the slot. To attach again, follow the same

procedure in reverse order.

Wind gauge assembly:

Choose a suitable location for your wind gauge.

– The wind gauge must be set up outdoors.

– The wind must be able to access the wind

gauge from all sides to enable the wind force

and wind direction to be measured accurately.

– Ensure that the vane and the wind wheel are not

blocked to guarantee accurate measurements.

– The wind gauge must be assembled within the

signal transmission range. Walls reduce the

transmission range. Check the signal reception

on the weather station before ﬁnal assembly.

Ideally, the wind gauge should be mounted on a

mast or roof of a house, where the wind can act

directly on the wind gauge.

A mast is required with a diameter of approx.

25–31 mm (not included) which stands stable and

vertical. Mount the wind gauge as shown below

with the hexagonal socket head bolt, washers,

mounting screws and nuts provided. After assembly,

ensure that the wind gauge is positioned horizontal-

ly with a stable hold.

The wind gauge must be positioned horizontally to

guarantee accurate measurements.

Setting up the rain gauge:

Choose a suitable location for the rain gauge.

– The rain gauge must be positioned outdoors.

The device must not be impaired by objects and

obstructions. Do not position under trees or next

to walls.

– The rain must be able to fall on the rain gauge

without obstructions to achieve an accurate

rainfall measurement.

– Ensure that rain water does not accumulate under

the rain gauge. It must be able to ﬂow oﬀ freely.

– The rain gauge must be assembled within the

range of the signal transmission. Walls reduce

the transmission range. Check the signal reception

on the weather station before ﬁnal assembly.

When you have found a suitable position, ensure

that the surface is completely horizontal to guarantee

accurate rainfall measurement.

The rain gauge can simply be stood in the desired

position or ﬁxed with the screws provided.

1. Mark the drill holes using the rain gauge before

drilling the holes (ø 5 mm), ensure that no elec-

trical cables or water pipes can be damaged.

2. Push the supplied dowel into the drilled hole

until it is ﬂush with the wall.

3. Fix the rain gauge with the screws provided.

– Use a slotted screwdriver to loosen the 2 adja-

cent fastening screws on the housing of the rain

gauge.

– Lift the housing carefully oﬀ the base of the device.

– To open the battery compartment, loosen the

4 cross-head screws on the battery compart-

ment cover.

– Lift oﬀ the battery compartment cover.

– Insert the batteries (2 x 1.5 V type AA) ensuring

correct polarity.

– Place the battery compartment lid on the battery

compartment again. Ensure that the sealing ring

11. Preparing the wind gauge and

rain gauge and registering on

the weather station

11.1 Calibrating the wind gauge

The wind gauge must be recalibrated after every

battery change. Follow the procedure outlined below:

– Before inserting the battery, point the vane north.

– Ensure that the wind wheel does not turn.

– Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity

(see the instructions listed under Point 9. Inserting

and replacing batteries / Wind gauge).

– The transmission signal LED lights up brieﬂy.

The wind gauge is now calibrated.

11.2 Preparing the rain gauge

– Insert the batteries in the rain gauge (see the

instructions listed under Point 9. Inserting and

replacing batteries / Rain gauge).

– Remove the transport protection which holds

the rain rocker.

11.3 Automatic wind gauge and

rain gauge registration on

the weather station

After inserting batteries in the wind gauge and the

rain gauge, insert batteries in the weather station

(see the instructions listed under Point 9. Inserting

and replacing batteries / Weather station).

The weather station searches automatically for the

transmission signals from the wind gauge and rain

gauge. The process takes approx. 4 minutes.

11.4 Manual wind gauge and rain

gauge registration on the

weather station

After the batteries have been replaced in the wind

gauge and rain gauges, they must be registered

again on the weather station. After replacing the

batteries and calibrating the wind gauge, press the

CHANNEL / SEARCH button on the weather station

for approx. 5 seconds. The entry is conﬁrmed with

a conﬁrmation tone. The measurement value dis-

plays now ﬂash on the wind gauge and rain gauge

Press

to activate the synchronisation for radio-

controlled DCF-77 time information.

Press

and the symbol appears on the display.

When the transmission signal is received, a

symbol

appears. If no radio waves appear, no DCF 77

reception is available in this location. If the reception

is stable, the

symbol is shown continuously on

the display after approx. 3–5 minutes.

Press

again to deactivate the DCF-77 synchroni-

sation.

WARNING!

The displays for time and date in Central Europe are

transferred via DCF-77 radio signals. The transmitter

is close to Frankfurt and transmits on a transmission

radius of approximately 1500 km. If your weather

station receives this signal, it is not necessary to

switch to and from daylight savings time.

The reception quality can be restricted by the geo-

graphical location (e.g. deep valleys) or structural

conditions (e.g. behind concrete walls).

Electromagnetic ﬁelds can also have a negative in-

ﬂuence on signal (DCF) reception. Position the

weather station and the external sensor in a suitable

location. Follow the instructions listed under “DCF-77

synchronisation” to switch on the transmission signal

again.

12.3 Setting the time zone

You can switch between local time and the selected

zone time while the time is displayed. The time zones

are divided into 24 zones. You can select a time

zone from +12 hours to –12 hours.

Setting the time zone:

Press and hold the ZONE button for approximately

3 seconds. A conﬁrmation signal sounds and 0 ﬂashes

on the display.

Press ▲ and ▼ to set the time zone. You can select

a time zone from +12 hours to –12 hours.

Press the ZONE button to return to the time display.

If no setting button is pressed for 60 seconds while

in the time zone setting mode, the weather station

automatically returns to the time display.

You can use the ZONE button to display the selected

time zone. ZONE appears next to the time. By pressing

the ZONE button again, you are returned to your
