Frequently Asked Questions - CM2000 ClimeMET

How do I set up the outdoor sensor suite for the first time?

Assemble the wind cups, wind vane, and rain gauge onto the mounting poles as shown in the manual. Connect the wind cups to the vane, then connect the vane and rain gauge cables to the Thermo-Hygro Transmitter ports labeled 'Wind' and 'Rain'. Insert 2 AA batteries into the transmitter, then power the Display Console (with batteries or AC adapter). The console will search for the transmitter signal; outdoor data should appear within 10 minutes. Use a compass to orient the wind vane correctly during final installation.

How can I change the units for wind speed, temperature, or pressure?

On the touch-screen display, press the relevant segment (e.g., wind, indoor temp, pressure) to enter its sub-menu. Use the + and - buttons that appear to cycle through available units. For wind speed you can choose km/h, mph, m/s, knots, or Beaufort. For temperature, select °C or °F. For pressure, choose hPa, inHg, or mmHg. The setting is saved automatically when you exit the menu.

How do I clear the memory or reset min/max records?

To clear all stored data on the console, touch the Memory pie chart twice until 'CLEAR' appears, then press and hold the pie chart for 3 seconds. For individual min/max records (e.g., temperature, rainfall), navigate to that parameter's sub-menu until the max or min value is displayed, then press and hold the value for 3 seconds to reset it. Note: clearing console memory is irreversible, so upload data via EasyWeather first if needed.

How do I connect the weather station to my PC and use the software?

Install the EasyWeather software from the included CD. Connect the USB cable from the console to your PC. Launch the software; it will automatically detect the console and display 'USB Connected'. You can then view real-time data, access history, set data storage intervals (5-240 min), export to Excel, and even upload to wunderground.com. Remember to periodically download data before the console memory fills.

What is the DCF-77 radio signal and how does it affect time setting?

The DCF-77 is a time signal broadcast from Frankfurt, Germany, used to automatically synchronize the console's clock. After power-up, the console searches for this signal (icon shows antenna). Once received, it overwrites any manual time settings. For locations outside the German time zone (e.g., UK), you need to adjust the Time Zone setting (touch time section twice) to compensate (e.g., -1 for UK). The clock will then stay accurate.

How do I interpret the weather tendency icon?

The weather tendency icon (e.g., sunny, cloudy, rainy) is a forecast based on recent changes in barometric pressure. It updates automatically. If the forecast seems inaccurate, you can manually change it by touching the tendency icon and using + or -. Also, you can adjust the pressure threshold (sensitivity) and storm threshold in the sub-menu to better match your local climate.

What maintenance does the weather station require?

Maintenance is minimal. Periodically check the rain gauge for debris or leaves that might block it. Clean the wind cups and vane if they become dirty. Replace the 2 AA batteries in the outdoor transmitter about every 12-24 months (use lithium batteries in cold climates). Ensure the console is not in direct sunlight or near heat sources for accurate indoor readings.

Why are my wind speed readings lower than expected?

Wind speed can be affected by obstacles such as trees, buildings, or nearby masts. Ensure the sensor suite is mounted in an open area at least 10 meters above ground if possible, and at least 1 meter above the roofline. Also check that the wind cups spin freely and are not blocked. The location should have minimal turbulence for accurate readings.

How accurate is the rainfall measurement?

The rain gauge has an accuracy of ±10%. For best results, place it at about 30 cm above ground, away from buildings or trees that could cause splashing or blockage. At higher elevations, wind may reduce catchment. Regularly clean the funnel to prevent debris from affecting readings. The console displays rain in mm or inches over various timeframes (1h, 24h, week, month, total).

Does the weather station require special batteries for cold weather?

Yes. Standard alkaline batteries may fail below -20°C (-4°F). The manual recommends using lithium or cold-resistant batteries for the outdoor sensor suite in severe winter conditions to ensure continuous operation. The base station operates indoors and can use standard AA alkaline batteries.

Instruction Handbook

ClimeMET

Welcome to the ClimeMET CM2000 Weather Station.

The CM2000 Professional Weather Station from ClimeMET is a new way to monitor the weather in your surroundings. Utilizing a touch-screen display console, the user-friendly interface means the measurement and logging of comprehensive weather data has never been easier.

The outdoor sensor suite is able to measure temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed & direction and more, which are then transmitted wirelessly to the display console and displayed alongside internal readings such as temperature and barometric pressure. Beyond the display console, the CM2000 also allows you to download your weather data onto a computer using the supplied EasyWeather software in order to create your own archives.

Begin by familiarising yourself with the features of the CM2000 Weather Station and plan your installation accordingly. Ensure that the outdoor sensor suite is assembled correctly before installing it in its permanent location – especially if this is not somewhere you can later access with ease. Now place the display console in a suitable location and you're set!

Please see the Sensor Suite and Console Overview sections for further information and advice on the installation of your new weather station. Make sure to read through this manual in order to get the most out of the CM2000 and you'll soon have years of weather data at your fingertips.

Base Station Features

The ClimeMET CM2000 Display Console uses touch-screen technology to help with navigation of the various sub-menus and settings available. Viewing min/max records or setting alerts for a weather measurement is therefore typically a case of pressing the relevant section of the console, then using the sub-menu for that specific parameter. A stylus is included to assist with use of the touch screen – you can find this on the top left corner when looking at the rear of the console.

Base Station Features Continued

The top line section of the display console includes time and date information. You can set this manually if you wish, but the CM2000 will periodically synchronize with the DCF-77 Radio Signal in order to ensure accuracy. On the right hand side of this section, you can also see a pie-chart displaying the memory usage and remaining space available on the internal datalogger.
2 The upper-left box is used to display wind readings. Wind direction is visually represented with a compass showing an indication arrow, while the wind speed is displayed as a numeric value within this compass with the selected unit of measurement shown below.
3 The upper-right section shows the date in the chosen format (default DD/MM/YY) along with rainfall readings in your selected unit of measurement.
4 The lower-left portion of the screen is used to display barometric pressure. This is shown in a numeric value, alone with a visual pressure-history graph covering the most-recent 12 hours.
The lower-right section presents weather tendency – a visual forecast of the weather based upon the recent changes in barometric pressure.
⑥ Finally, the bottom box will display indoor and outdoor readings for temperature and humidity. Temperature is shown on the left, with humidity on the right.

Please Note: All functions of the weather station are accessed by using the touch screen to press on the relevant area. Touching a section will enter a sub-menu where changes can be made, often by then using the + or - buttons that will now display. Each time a segment of the screen is pressed, a sound will be made and the backlight will illuminate. If nothing is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the normal display mode.

The Sensor Suite

The ClimeMET CM2000 uses multiple sensors to measure various weather parameters. These are comprised of the Rain Gauge, Wind Cups (to measure speed), Wind Vane (to measure direction) which then connect into a Thermo-Hygro Transmitter. This transmitter measures external Temperature and Humidity, but is also responsible for wirelessly sending all of the outdoor readings back to the Display Console.

Firstly, push the set of wind cups onto either side of the mounting shelf. Line this up carefully – on one side of the mounting shelf will be a hole with a hexagonal shape around the outside. Line this hole up with the hole at the bottom of the wind cups. Please note – these cups will only fit onto the shaft one way round, so if it doesn't seem as though it fits properly, please try lining it up the other way! With the holes lined up correctly, insert a long screw through one side and tighten the nut onto the other end to keep the sensor in place.

Next, mount the directional wind vane onto the other side of the mounting arm in the same manner. Once this is lined up properly, insert another long screw through the hole and tighten the nut onto the other end.

Inspect your two steel mounting poles and you'll find that one of these has a small hole towards one end. Firmly push your assembled mounting shelf into the end of this mounting pole so that the holes line up and the shelf is sitting straight.

Then insert another long screw through these holes and tighten as before using another nut, as shown below.

Next, mount the rain gauge. It's best to attach the side mounting shelf onto the installation pole first – begin by loosening the four large screws on the shelf attachment so that you are able to open this wide enough to fit the installation pole through. Ensure the shelf is turned the right way (square attachment facing upwards) and slide the shelf around halfway up the pole, then re-tighten the attachment so that it doesn't slip.

Sensor Assembly Continued

With the shelf securely attached, firmly push the rain gauge down onto the square attachment and use one of the small screws to secure this via the hole found at the underside of the mounting shelf.

Add the remaining installation pole by pushing it firmly into the open-end of the existing one using the swaged end - this will give you more height and room to install the final sensor.

Now follow a similar procedure to before in order to add the final mounting shelf and install the thermo-hygro transmitter. However – this time, the sensor will be secured using a long screw that needs to be inserted horizontally in the hole found directly below the battery compartment.

Begin connecting the external sensors using the cables provided. Firstly, connect the wind cups to the wind vane – the connection port is found on the underside of the wind vane. Then, connect the cable running from the wind vane into the port on the thermo-hygro transmitter labelled 'Wind'. Please ensure that this clicks into place fully, as if it is not properly inserted you won't receive any readings from either wind sensor.

Sensor Assembly Continued

The Rain Gauge connects directly into the Thermo-Hygro Transmitter, into the remaining connection port labelled 'Rain'. Again, please ensure this is fully inserted now, as the sensor suite is likely to be difficult to access later.

At this point, it's a good idea to power up the CM2000 and check that all of your outdoor readings are being successfully received. It's likely that the external sensors will be difficult to access later once set up, so it's well-worth checking that everything is operating properly now.

First, insert the 2 x AA Batteries into the Thermo-Hygro Transmitter to begin the transmission of data from the outdoor sensors. Quickly afterward, power the Display Console either using batteries or optional power adapter, then leave the console until the outdoor data begins being displayed. When the Display Console turns on, it begins looking for a signal from a Transmitter within range. If you therefore have a Transmitter already sending data, this should mean that it is picked up by the Display Console quickly.

Once everything is synchronised correctly, you can proceed with installing the weather station in its permanent location.

Sensor Assembly Continued

Ensure all sensors are installed correctly and mounted firmly onto the installation poles. You can now use the two Jubilee Clips supplied in order to mount the lower installation pole to an existing mast or surface that will be suitable.

Attach these clips so that they contain the installation pole of the CM2000 and the desired attachment. Tighten each of these securely using a flat-head screwdriver to ensure the station does not sway and is vertically level.

Before tightening this fully – ensure that the directional vane is facing the correct orientation. If the vane is pointing directly away from the station (in line with the mounting shelf) then it will be measuring East, whereas if the pointer is pointing exactly towards the wind cups it should be facing West. It's worth using a compass to check the orientation of the station matches this completely, as otherwise the wind direction readings will be incorrect. Try to rotate the CM2000 pole so that wind direction sensor on the top shelf is on the East side before tightening all poles fully.

Getting Set Up

After all sensors have been assembled and plugged in to correct ports on the Thermo-Hygro Transmitter, you can power the station and begin receiving information from the sensor suite.

Thermo-Hygro Transmitter:

Insert 2 x AA batteries into the compartment on the front of the unit. The red indicator on the transmitter should illuminate for 4 seconds, before turning off and then flashing intermittently from then onwards.

Display Console:

• Open the battery compartment at the back of the display console and insert 2 x AA batteries, then replace the battery cover.
• When the batteries are first inserted, all icons and symbols will briefly be displayed. The console will then enter normal mode and begin searching for the outdoor transmitter. Please don't touch the screen until the outdoor information is received, as this will interrupt the searching process.
• Within 10 minutes, the outdoor information should be shown on your display console. The best way to check this is to look for an outdoor temperature reading, which should be found in the bottom-left hand corner of the screen. Once the outdoor data is being received, you can use the console as you wish.
• The Console will also now search for the DCF-77 Radio Signal in the background. The CM2000 synchronises to this time signal in order to ensure that time and date information remains as accurate as possible. Initially, the station will try to find this signal once every hour until it is successful – once the signal has been found the Radio Tower icon will be shown on the Display Console. This process can sometimes take several hours to complete, as atmospheric interference can prevent the time signal from being received easily in some areas.

Please Note: Once the radio signal has been received, it will overwrite any date/time settings that have been set manually. It may therefore seem as though the console has 'jumped' forwards or backwards a few minutes if these times do not match exactly, but it will simply be displaying the DCF-77 Time.

Getting Set Up Continued

Setting up with an Adaptor:

If you are using an adaptor with this station, follow the same process detailed above for the Display Console, but begin by plugging in the adaptor instead of inserting batteries into the compartment at the back of the console. The rest of the setup process will now be the same.

Choosing Your Location

Once you have checked that all components of the station are set up and working properly, they can be installed in their permanent places. It's worth checking that the transmission can still be received by the console at the desired location, as any connection problems can typically be resolved by a slight change of location. The maximum communication distance between Console & Transmitter is 330 Feet providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, vehicles or trees. Please place the Console & Transmitter at their desired locations and check the connection is consistent before setting these up permanently.

The sensors of the ClimeMET CM2000 each have their own cables attached to them. While they must all physically connect to the Thermo-Hygro Transmitter, this cable allows for a flexible installation as you are able to separate the sensors in order to achieve the most accurate measurements possible.

Traditionally, different weather parameters are measured at different heights as this can have a significant effect on readings. For example - placing your wind sensors up high should ensure you receive the best wind readings possible, though an elevated height is also likely to lead to reduced rainfall readings, as the stronger winds will have an impact.

When planning your installation, you might want to therefore consider the following:

- Air Temperature is typically measured at 1 to 1.5 Metres above ground level. The shield covering the temperature sensor ensures that the sensor itself is shaded and ventilated, which will maintain the accuracy of the temperature readings.

Cont.

Choosing Your Location Continued

• A general rule for achieving the best accuracy is keeping the station at twice the distance of any nearby object's height, so for example 20ft away from a 10ft tree.
• Rainfall is normally measured at around 30cm above ground level. At elevated heights higher-wind speeds will have an effect on the catchment of rainfall, so readings may be reduced. It's also worth noting that the rain gauge may need to be cleared if any leaves or debris create a blockage, so it's worth considering the accessibility of the station beforehand.
• The optimum height for wind speed measurements is around 10 metres above ground. This will typically not be possible for residential installations, so it's often advised to mount alongside a chimney or existing mast if available. If doing so, it's important to try to have a clearance of at least a metre in height between the weather station and roof line.

Console Features

To navigate through the various features available on the CM2000 Display Console, you will need to touch the screen in the desired area. Pressing each of these segments will open up a sub-menu that will then allow you to set and change various conditions. For certain settings you will need to press on a specific segment multiple times – the below guide will explain what you will see in each section after a certain number of key presses.

Please note: you can exit any of these sub-menus at any time by touching another area of the screen that isn't flashing or displaying +, - or ON/OFF.

Time:

1. Touch the Time section once and it will read 'LDC5'. The + and - symbols will also begin flashing in the lower right segment. This setting allows you to adjust the contrast level of the screen – use the + and - symbols to adjust the figure next to 'LCD' between 0 and 8. Setting this value higher will make the screen easier to read, but will also slightly affect battery life.
2. Touch the Time section again while this menu is still flashing (or simply press it twice from the home screen) to enter the Time Zone setting. Use the + and - buttons shown again in the lower-right segment to adjust this value up or down.

Please note: This station receives the DCF-77 radio signal broadcast from near Frankfurt, Germany. Therefore, when it receives the synchronised time, it will be set to GMT+1 as default, which will match Time Zone 0 on this weather station. Therefore, if you are looking to use it within the UK, you'll need to change this Time Zone setting to -1 to compensate for the difference in European time, while still remaining synchronised to this radio signal.

Console Features Continued

1. Touching the Time section for a third time will allow you to choose between 12 or 24 Hour time display. Simply use either of the + or - symbols to toggle between the settings.

The final settings in the Time menu are for manually setting the time of the console. However – please note that once the time signal has been picked up by the console it will overwrite any manual settings, so you may not wish to set these.

1. Pressing the Time section four times will display the current time with the Hours section flashing. Use the + or - symbols to increase/decrease this figure as desired.
2. Pressing the Time section again will move the selection over to the Minutes section. Again, use the + or - symbols to change this value as required.

Memory:

1. Touch the Memory section to activate the historic data, the + and - button will also be flashing in the lower-right section.

6. Touch the pressure six times to view the Maximum pressure record. If desired, you can then clear this value by pushing and holding it again for three seconds.

7. Finally, touch the pressure again to view the Minimum record. This can be cleared in the same manner – by pushing and holding the reading for three seconds until it resets.

Console Features Continued

Pressure Bar:

1. Touch the Pressure Bar, then use the flashing + or - symbols to toggle between a 12/24 Hour timescale of pressure history.

Tendency:

1. Touch the forecast icon and it will begin to flash. You can then use the + and - icons to manually change the upcoming forecast. You should only need to do this if the icon doesn't change automatically. The Tendency is affected by changes in barometric pressure, so changing it manually, if required will mean that the forecast begin to become more accurate in future.

2. Touch the forecast icon again and a value will now be displayed under the Pressure reading to the left. This value is the pressure threshold – changing this will affect how sensitive the station will be in regard to changes in barometric pressure. If you are in an area with stable pressure, you can lower this reading so that smaller changes in pressure are registered. Simply use the flashing + and - icons to adjust this value between 2-4 hPa as desired.

3. Pressing the forecast icon a final time will now allow you to change the storm threshold. Similarly, this will mean that a sudden change in pressure of a set value will be classified as a storm by the station. Change this value between 3-9 hPa using the + and - icons to the right.

Console Features Continued

Indoor Temperature:

1. Touch the indoor temperature setting and it will begin flashing. You can now press the flashing + or - icons as normal to switch between units of measurement °C or °F.

EasyWeather PC Connection

Data Storage:

For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the internal storage of up to 4080 complete sets of weather data with time and date. The base station will lose all weather data if an interruption of power supply occurs. When the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the oldest data sets stored will be overwritten by new ones entering the system.

Data Recall:

Certain weather data or setting values can only be processed and displayed by means of a PC. This includes the settings for data storage intervals which can be set from between 5 minutes to 240 minutes by means of a PC.

Connections and Software:

The wiring between the Weather Station and PC takes place by means of an included USB cable. When connected full time to your PC the EasyWeather software package allows the display, storage, and printing of historic data sets; limited only by the capacity of the PC's main memory. When disconnected from a PC the Weather Station's memory can store 4080 data sets.

Clicking About EasyWeather button, enters the About menu

Notes about time synchronization between PC and sub-station:

The PC software obtains its own time scale through the time interval marker from the base station history data, and the PC software then automatically synchronizes the weather data with a time stamp calculated. Thus the history data file can have different time when the PC time and base station time are not same. In order to make the time scale correct, remember to set the PC time and base station time the same.

Remember to upload weather data to you PC periodically, i.e. before the memory capacity on the weather console is used up (memory icon on LCD display showing 100% full). Once the memory capacity on the weather console is full it is not possible to perform a data download and you will have to clear the console loosing all data.

Remember if there has been a rain fall readings reset on the weather console between downloads, then there will be rain fall value discrepancy between the PC and weather console readings.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

The ClimeMET CM2000 has been designed with dependability in mind and will require minimal attention once set up. After the system has been installed, you should find that the only maintenance required will be an occasional check and clean of the sensors in order to ensure they provide you with years of service. This weather station uses 2 x AA batteries to power the outdoor sensor-suite - it will depend on the quality of the batteries used, but we'd normally expect these to last for around 12 months. At the same time you access the station to change the batteries, you may want to clean the sensors and carry out some brief checks.

If it appears that any problems are occurring with your weather station, please see the below guide for further information:

Display Console:

Outdoor data is not displaying and dashes are shown instead

Ensure that the outdoor sensor suite within range of the display console – the maximum range is 100 metres, or just over 300 feet. Please note that obstacles such as trees/walls/etc will have an impact on this communication range, so try to make sure the line of sight is as clear as possible.

Check that the batteries inside the sensor suite are not depleted – insert new batteries if you cannot be sure.

Indoor Temperature and Humidity:

Temperature readings are too high/low

If the indoor temperature readings appear to be high, make sure that the display console has not been placed in a location where it will be in direct sunlight during the day. This can cause the plastic casing to heat up which takes some time to cool down again, which may ultimately result in false readings. If the indoor temperature readings seem too low, check that the display console has not been mounted against an interior wall that cools down significantly throughout the day, as this could be affecting the readings measured. It's also worth checking that the console is not in the path of any air-conditioning units or located near an air vent. Similarly, make sure the outdoor sensor suite is not placed too close to surfaces that will radiate heat or affect nearby temperatures in a similar manner.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting Continued

Dew Point:

Dew Point figure appears to be incorrect

Dew point measurements depend upon the outdoor temperature and humidity figures, so it's vital to make sure that these readings are correct in order to calculate the dew point reading.

Wind:

Wind readings appear to be lower than expected

Wind readings can be significantly affected by the location of the system. Make sure that there is nothing in the surrounding area that could be shielding the CM2000 from the effects of the wind as this will reduce the strength of the readings received. Please remember that mounting the station a few feet higher or lower can alter the readings considerably.

Wind Chill:

Wind chill figure appears to be incorrect

Wind chill readings are reliant upon the wind speed and outdoor temperature measurements. If your wind chill readings appear to be inaccurate, please check these readings.
