recordings 

• 

Indoor and outdoor temperature and relative humidity displays in 
degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius (user selectable) 

• 

Indoor and outdoor relative humidity displays 

• 

Air pressure reading in inHg or hPa, absolute or relative (user select-
able) 

• 

Detailed display of rainfall data in 1 hour, 24 hours, total since last 
reset (user selectable in mm or inch) 

• 

Wind speed in mph, km/h, m/s, knots or Beaufort (user selectable) 

• 

Wind direction display with LCD compass as well as numerical (e.g. 
225°) and abbreviated characters (e.g. SW) 

• 

Wind chill temperature display 

•

weather history data with user adjustable measuring intervals can be 
recorded and uploaded to your PC 

 

Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor 

The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature and 
relative humidity.  It also collects the readings from the rain and wind 
sensors before transmitting the data to the base station by wireless 
433MHz or by the 10 meter cable included in this set. 

 

Features of Wind sensor 

The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and sends  
the data to thermo-hygro sensor which in turn transmits the data to 
the base station.  Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro 
sensor using a 10 meter cable connection. 

 

Features of Rain sensor 

The rain sensor measures the rainfall and sends the data to thermo-
hygro sensor which in turn transmits the data to the base station.  
Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor by a 10 meter 
cable connection.
