Glossary of Common Terms  
NIST*  
The National Institute of Standards and Technology maintains the  
primary frequency standard for the United States. The NIST also  
coordinates the United States time and frequency standards with other  
world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services for  
United States clientele.  
WWVB*  
The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed  
by the NIST. The WWVB’s function is to broadcast time-of-day  
information derived from the NIST atomic clock, located in Boulder,  
Colorado.  
ATOMIC CLOCK*  
An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time  
by the movements of electrons in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic  
clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to 10  
billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the  
international group of clocks calculating the Coordinated Universal  
Time (UTC)—the official world time.  
3
 
RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME*  
A radio-controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock.  
However, a radio-controlled time device receives its time information  
from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna. The  
radio- controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every  
night when the signal from the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can  
be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio-controlled time  
device.  
LCD  
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common  
type of display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and  
digital clocks.  
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE  
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing  
on it—this measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t  
actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is  
pushing equally in every direction.  
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE  
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The  
calculation of relative air pressure is a combination of the absolute air  
pressure and the altitude.  
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE  
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer  
without regard to altitude.  
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)  
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure  
in the United States.  
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)  
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure  
in the International System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal  
holds the same value

Getting Started  
First you must decide whether to use batteries or the AC/DC adapter  
to operate the system. Both methods allow the connection of  
Transmitter unit and Base Station by cable or by 433 MHz radio signal.  
Note: When setting up the Weather Station it is important to tentatively  
perform in close proximity (e.g. on a table) a complete wiring  
and set-up of the system. This allows you to make sure all  
7
 
components work properly before positioning them in their final  
locations.  
3.1  
Wiring the System  
AC/ DC adapter  
Transmitter unit  
PC COM Port cable  
Wireless  
Transmission  
Direct cable  
connection  
Independent of the final operating mode at first, the fixed cable of the  
Wind Sensor has to be connected to the Transmitter unit by plugging it  
into the marked receptacle.  
8
 
The direct cable connection of Transmitter unit and Base Station can  
be used if:  
the flexibility of 433 MHz radio transmission is not needed and  
data transmission absolutely free of any environmental  
interferences is wanted.  
3.2  
Power Supply  
The Weather Station can be powered by the use of batteries, by the  
AC/DC adapter or, by direct cable connection.  
3.2.1 Batteries:  
First insert (2) "C" batteries into the battery compartment of the  
Transmitter unit.  
Immediately following this insert (3) AA 1.5V batteries into the  
battery compartment of the Touch Screen Weather Station.  
Please help in the preservation of the environment and  
return used batteries to an authorized depot.  
3.2.2 The AC/DC Adapter:  
First insert (2) "C" batteries into the battery compartment of the  
Transmitter unit.  
Immediately following this, connect the AC/DC adapter to the  
Base Station and then plug it into a regular outlet.  
9
 
Note: In both cases it is important to power the units in this order  
because the transmitter will send an identification code which  
has to be received and stored by the Base Station within the  
first few minutes of operation.  
After doing this, full operation of the entire Weather Station System is  
ensured.  
3.2.3 Cable Connection:  
An additional feature of the direct cable connection (mentioned in Item  
3.1 above) is when using the AC/DC adapter, power is provided to  
both the Base Station and the Transmitter unit by only the AC/DC  
adapter.  
Note: System operation with cable connection while at the same time  
providing power to the Base Station solely by batteries is not  
recommended due to the considerably higher power  
consumption. The batteries may however remain in the unit for  
emergency supply in case of a power failure.  
A change from cable operation to 433 MHz radio transmission  
or vice versa is possible because the Weather Station will  
recognize this change and will automatically switch to the  
appropriate operating mode.  
10  
 
3.3  
System Start  
After inserting the batteries and connecting the AC/DC adapter, the  
LCD of the Weather Station will, for a few seconds, display all possible  
display segments for checking.  
Immediately after this, the unit will enter the “play mode”, during which  
for about 15 minutes all measured and received weather data are  
being switched through, updated, and displayed. During this time  
period there will be no reception of the WWVB time information.  
Note: The play mode phase allows the user of the Weather Station to  
check all cables for correct connection and all components for  
correct function. The latter will be possible by manually turning  
the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane, etc.  
After completing the play mode, the Touch Screen Weather Station will  
automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further  
settings can be performed by the user. At this point of time, the unit will  
also automatically start reception of the WWVB time information.  
Important Note:  
Reception of the radio-controlled time information will only take  
place after completion of the play mode (approx. 15 minutes). If  
the user wants to start the system without waiting for completion  
of the play mode it can be terminated prematurely by touching  
the TIME display once in the upper left corner of the LCD.  
Prior to manual setting or reception of radio-controlled time  
information there will be no recording of weather history data.  
3.4  
Positioning  
Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather  
station are working, they can be positioned in their permanent places.  
Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components work  
properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If e.g.  
there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission they  
can mostly be overcome by moving the mounting locations.  
11  
 
Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and  
transmitter in the open field can reach a distance of up to 330  
feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as  
buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.  
Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can,  
in bad cases, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take  
this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting  
locations.

For better visibility of the LCD, the EL backlight can be switched ON or  
OFF by touching the LIGHT section once. When switched “ON”, the  
backlight will be switched on for approximately 15 seconds every time  
any one of the LCD sections is being touched.  
The switching condition (Enabled/Disabled) is shown in the text  
section for about 30 seconds.  
Note: In case the Touch Screen Weather Station is battery operated,  
the repeated use of the EL backlight will result in a considerable  
decrease of battery lifetime. It is thus recommended to either  
operate the Weather Station on the included AC/DC adapter or  
entirely deactivate the EL backlight (see above).  
11.2  
Buzzer  
The buzzer will sound when any of the touch screen buttons are  
pressed or to indicate an alarm. The buzzer can be switched ON or  
OFF by touching the BUZZER section.

12  
PC Connection  
As an important feature in addition to the display on the Touch  
Screen, the Weather Station allows the read-out of all measured  
and displayed time and weather data in form of complete history  
data sets on a PC.  
12.1  
Data Storage  
For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the  
internal storage of up to 1750 complete sets of weather data with time  
and date. These data sets are being stored in non-volatile ring buffer  
memory (EEPROM) and will not be lost even in case of an interruption  
of power supply (e. g. change of batteries).  
In case the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the  
oldest data sets stored will be overwritten by the new ones entered.  
12.2  
Data Recall  
The weather data stored can only be read out, processed, and  
displayed by means of a PC. Also the settings of the storing intervals  
from 1 minute to 24 hours for the storage of data sets can only be  
performed by means of a PC.  
12.3  
Connections and Software  
The wiring between Weather Station and PC takes place by means of  
an included serial port cable. The “Heavy Weather Pro“ software  
package, also included in the shipping contents, must be installed on  
the PC.  
This software allows the display of all present weather data with  
graphic symbols. It also allows the display, storage, and printing of  
history data sets, whose volume exceeding the maximum 1750 data  
sets of the Weather Station is only limited by the capacity of the PC’s  
26  
 
main memory.  
Furthermore the present weather data can be tied on to web sites by  
means of the “Web Publisher“ software. History data can be displayed  
as diagrams and graphs using the “Heavy Weather Pro“ software.  
Important note:  
For further details to the subject "PC Connection" and "Program  
utilization", please see the "Help" File (under the Question mark  
button in menu bar) of the Heavy Weather Program.  
(The temperature, humudity and rain measurements are not  
applicable to the model WS-3512.)  
Prior to manual setting or reception of WWVB radio-controlled  
time information there will be no recording of weather history  
data.
