32
icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor
data.
5. Afterwards, the Weather Station will start receiving data from
the transmitters. The outdoor temperature, humidity windchill
and wind speed should then be displayed on the Weather
Station. If this does not happen after
45 seconds
, the
batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will
have to start again from step
2
.
6. The transmitter reception icon is now blinking again to
indicate that the station is trying to receive the rain sensor
data. It will stop blinking once the rain sensor has been
detected. If this doesn’t happen after 45s, you need to start
again from step 2.
Note: if no thermo-hygro transmitter is detected, the weather
station will display the message "THERMO TX OUT OF
RANGE“; if no rain sensor has been detected, the message
"RAIN TX OUT OF RANGE“ will be display in the
text section
(last two lines on the LCD).
7.
You may then check all cables for correct connection and all
components for correct function by manually turning the
wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane, tilting the rain sensor
to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc
(See
Placement below).
8. After the Weather Station has been checked for correct
function with regard to the above points and found fit, the
initial set up of the weather station system is finished and the
mounting of the system components can take place. It must
be ensured however that all components work properly
together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If
e.g. there appear to be problems with the 868 MHz radio
transmission, they can mostly be overcome by slightly
changing the mounting locations.
Note:
The radio communication between the receiver and the
transmitter in the open field reaches distances of max 100
metres, provided there are no interfering obstacles such as
buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
