Function test:
Once the weather station is powered up, perform a function test by
checking that the weather data is received. To do this, press the either
DISPLAY, PRESSURE or WIND keys to toggle through the relevant
LCD sections:
1) Indoor temperature and humidity
2) Outdoor temperature and humidity
3) Outdoor wind chill
4) Dew point
5) Rainfall 24 hour
6) Rainfall 1hour
7) Rainfall Total
8) Relative and absolute pressure
9) Wind speed, wind direction and wind direction in degrees
If any readings cannot be received from the sensors, lines (- - -) will be
displayed in the respective weather sections of the LCD. In this case,
check that all cables are correctly inserted into the correct sockets and
press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short beep will
sound to synchronize the base station to the sensors otherwise no
weather data will be received.
Some weather readings such as wind speed and direction may not
appear immediately on the LCD if the wind-fan or vane of the wind sen-
sor is moved. This is due to the set reading time intervals for the wind
readings. However the current wind speed or direction will be displayed
once the time reading interval is reached. For rainfall, the interval read-
ings may take up to 2 minutes before the data is displayed on the LCD.
