Introduction

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the  PRO-X2  Weather  Station.  The  weather  station 

consists of a main console unit with a remote control, as well as an assortment of remote 

sensors which collect and transmit a wide range of weather data, including outdoor 

temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rain amount and rain rate.

Main Console Unit

The  main  console  unit  features  a  radio-controlled  atomic  precision  clock  with  alarm  and 

weather forecast. It measures indoor temperature and humidity, and displays weather data 

collected by the remote weather sensors. It also provides indication of the indoor/outdoor 

temperature, pressure and humidity trends, and celestial information such as moon phase, 

and sunrise/set times. 

The main console unit stores around 3300 weather records without a computer connection. 

When linked to a computer using the USB cable (incl.) and software (free download from 

internet),  an  unlimited  number  of  weather  records  can  be  displayed  and  saved  onto  the 

computer.

Remote Weather Sensors

The  remote  weather  sensors  include  a  thermo-hygrometer,  anemometer  (solar  cell  wind 

sensor) and rain sensor.  All data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the main console 

unit by wireless RF. The weather station supports a maximum of 5 thermo-hygrometers, 

allowing 5 channels of temperature/humidity display.
