1. Introduction 

 

Thank you for purchasing this Professional Remote Weather Station. 

 

Designed for everyday use, the weather station will prove to be an 
asset of great value for your personal use in the home or office.

features and functions so that you can enjoy the safe and correct 
operation of this unique product. 

 

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 thermo-hygro 
sensor is the main data communication unit since both the wind and 
rain sensors are connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for operating 
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 25 meters in open space) or by cable 
connection. 

 

Using the enclosed 2 meter computer cable and CD-ROM, you can 
install the Heavy Weather software to your PC and upload all the 
received weather data from the base station.  Access the latest 
weather information from your PC and upload up to 175 sets of re-
corded weather data by the base station and generate useful statis-
tics 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 that can be transferred to 
PC. 

 

This weather station is designed to work easily with your PC.  There 
are no tedious requirements to turn your PC ON or OFF, simply con-
nect and disconnect the PC cable at any time.
