3.1
Wiring the System
Connect the Rain Sensor and Wind sensor cables to their
respectively marked jacks in the Thermo-Hygro sensor
BEFORE
powering up the Base Station or the Thermo-Hygro Sensor.
The Thermo-Hygro Sensor and Base Station can be
directly connected via cable if the wireless 433 MHz
radio transmission is not desired, and/or data
transmission free of localized radio interference is an
important factor.
3.2 Power
Supply
Power can be supplied to the Weather Center using batteries or
the AC adapter. In the case that the AC adapter is used, it will
provide all required power to the system if the Base Station and
Thermo-Hygro Sensor are wired directly together.
3.2.1
Use Batteries for Power:
-
First insert two Type C alkaline 1.5 V batteries into the
battery compartment of the Thermo-Hygro-Sensor.
-
Immediately after, insert three Type AA alkaline 1.5 V
batteries into the battery compartment of the Touch Screen
Base Station.
3.2.2 Use AC Adapter for Power:
-
First insert two Type C alkaline 1.5 V batteries into the
battery compartment of the Thermo-Hygro-Sensor.
-
Immediately after, connect the AC adapter to the Base
Station, and then plug it into an AC outlet.
-
When the AC adapter is used, batteries may also be placed
in the Base Station to serve as a backup power supply if
there is a power outage.
Note:
In either case, it is important to observe this order of
succession because the Sensor will send an identification
code that must be received and stored by the Base Station
within the first few minutes of operation.
