2. Intended
Use
Weather Station
The base station measures the indoor environment of its surrounding
area and receives weather data from the following three outdoor sen-
sors:
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 outdoor
thermo-
hygro sensor is the main data communication unit since both the wind
and rain sensors are connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for oper-
ating 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 100ft in open space) or by cable
connection.
Using the enclosed 6.5ft computer cable and CD-ROM, you can in-
stall the Heavy Weather software to your PC and access the latest
weather information from your PC and upload up to 175 sets of re-
corded weather data received by the base station. Recorded data
can be used to generate statistics and charts onto your spreadsheets
(175 sets of data is stored in the base even if the PC is switched
OFF). The software itself does not set any limits as to how many data
sets can be transferred to PC.
This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC, simply
connect and disconnect the PC cable at any time.
