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.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly to fully understand the 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 sensors:
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 100 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 recorded weather data by the base station and generate useful statistics 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 connect and disconnect the PC cable at any time.

5. Setting up
Firstly, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batteries for operation. Both these methods allow for operation of using wireless 433MHz transmission or cable connection between the base station and the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows:
Base Station:
Battery compartment
Setting up using batteries:
Sensor sockets
Important: To avoid operating problems, please take note of battery polarity if inserting any batteries
1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the three sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor and the base station)
2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to the corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking them into place
3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located below the three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries and close the cover
4) Open the base station's battery cover located at the back of the unit and insert 3 × AA , IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment and close the battery cover
Setting up using the AC adaptor:
1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using batteries above
2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and power up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack into the 6.0V DC socket located on the side of the base station
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this code must be synchronized with the base station to receive weather data.
When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light up for about 5 seconds before it enters into a 15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors security code. After the learning mode (or by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base station will start the DCF77 radio controlled time reception.
Note for DCF77 Radio Controlled Time:
The time and date display is based on the signal provided by a highly accurate Caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesamt in Braunschweig (Germany). This radio-controlled clock does not only provide for the weather station's time and date display but also functions as the time source for all of this weather station's memory and history values using time and date information.
LCD backlight:
When using the power adaptor, or under battery operation, the LCD backlight will switch on for 16 seconds intervals when any key is pressed.
6. Operation using cable connection or wireless 433MHz
Cable Connection:
Using this method of operation will provide interference free transfer of the weather data from the sensors to the base station. The data sending interval from the sensors to the base station will also be more frequent compared to using 433MHz transmission and will result in higher power consumption. Therefore batteries will have a shorter life span for cable connection compared to using 433MHz.
To operate using cable connection, simply use the enclosed 10 meter cable and connect the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station. Once the connection is detected, the base station will automatically continue reading the data from the sensor.
The user may at any time switch from cable connection to using 433MHz (or vice versa) by simply disconnecting (or connecting) the cable from the base station to the sensor. When the base station detects no cable connection to the sensors, the existing data reading interval is changed to the new reading interval, i.e. using cable connection is every 8
seconds data reading interval or from 32 seconds - 128 seconds intervals when using 433MHz (depending on wind speed)
Using the AC adaptor to operate the base station will also supply power to the sensor if the cable is connected to it. Batteries used for 433MHz transmission may be left in the sensor when using cable connection for power back-up in case of AC power failure. A loss of power would desynchronize the base station and the sensor and no weather data will be received. To Synchronize the units so that the weather data can be received, press and hold the PLUS(+) for 2 seconds. However in general, batteries that will not be used for long periods should be removed to avoid leakage.
Wireless 433MHz transmission:
Using 433MHz wireless transmission of weather data from the sensor to the base station will provide users greater freedom as to where units can be positioned without the need to be restricted by cable.
Note:
If no outdoor weather data is displayed or the signal to the sensors is lost during setting up, mounting, changing of batteries to the sensor or plugging or unplugging cables, simply press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base station to sensors. Without being synchronized, weather data will not be received.

8. Function test:
Once the weather station is powered up, perform a function test by checking that the weather data is received. To do this, press the either DISPLAY, PRESSURE or WIND keys to toggle through the relevant LCD sections:
1) Indoor temperature and humidity
2) Outdoor temperature and humidity
3) Outdoor wind chill
4) Dew point
5) Rainfall 24 hour
6) Rainfall 1hour
7) Rainfall Total
8) Relative and absolute pressure
9) Wind speed, wind direction and wind direction in degrees
If any readings cannot be received from the sensors, lines (- - -) will be displayed in the respective weather sections of the LCD. In this case, check that all cables are correctly inserted into the correct sockets and press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base station to the sensors otherwise no weather data will be received.
Some weather readings such as wind speed and direction may not appear immediately on the LCD if the wind-fan or vane of the wind sensor is moved. This is due to the set reading time intervals for the wind readings. However the current wind speed or direction will be displayed once the time reading interval is reached. For rainfall, the interval readings may take up to 2 minutes before the data is displayed on the LCD.
9. Mounting
Important Note
Prior to drilling mounting holes and permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the following points are considered:
- Cable lengths of the units meet with your distance requirements at the point of fixing
-
Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at points of mounting
-
Radio controlled time signal can be received at the point of mounting
Base Station
With two foldable legs at the back of the unit, the base station can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by the hanging holes also at the back of the unit. It is important to check that the 433MHz (if using wireless connection) and the DCF77 radio controlled time signal can be received before permanently mounting any of the units. Should the base station not display the 433MHz weather data from the sensors or the radio controlled time from the desired location, then relocate the units. Once the signals are received, the system can be affixed. Also if you have selected to use cable connection, ensure that distances can reach all desired locations before affixing any unit permanently
Mounting the Wind Sensor
The remote wind speed sensor can be mounted two ways:
With the use of screws
Using nylon straps
Mounting with screws
-
Unlock the mounting bracket from the remote wind speed sensor leaving the wire going through the bracket.
-
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
- Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
- Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are tight against the bracket.
- Slide the remote wind speed sensor onto the bracket making sure to lock it in place.
MOUNTING WITH NYLON STRAPS
- Unlock the mounting bracket from the remote wind speed sensor leaving the wire going through the bracket.
- Place two nylon straps through the slots on the mounting bracket.
- Place the remote wind speed sensor in your desired location.
- Fasten the two nylon straps securely around the mounting location.
- Slide the remote wind speed sensor onto the bracket making sure to lock it in place.
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station.
Mounting the Rain Sensor
For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 1 meter above the ground and in an open area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to the base station.
The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base station after about 2 minutes delay i.e. when the reading interval is reached (to clear this testing data on the base station, refer to the section "MIN/MAX Mode" below).
Mounting the thermo-hygro Sensor
An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be the outer wall beneath the extension of a roof, as this will protect the sensor from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions.
To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desired wall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure both parts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure that the cables from the wind and rain sensors are correctly plugged in otherwise data transmission errors could occur.
10. Resetting & factory settings:
As previously mentioned, in the event of a power reset to the sensor (for example a change of batteries), the base station has to synchronize to the sensor again otherwise no weather data will be received. To do this, simply press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base station to the sensor. When the units are synchronized, the data will be received again and the base station will return to normal operation mode.
Do not reset the power of the base station otherwise all 175 sets of recorded weather history data for transferring to the PC will be lost (for full details of PC use, please see PC user manual in the enclosed Heavy Weather CD-ROM).
However if you wish to make a full reset of the base station and return to the original factory settings, simultaneously press and hold the PRESSURE and WIND keys for about 5 seconds. The base station will beep once and the entire LCD will light up for 5 seconds and go back to the original factory settings. This process with clear all previous user defined values and all weather history recordings.

11. Function Description of the Weather Station
After setting up, the following data will be displayed in different sections on the LCD. If this is not the case please observe the notes on "Interferences" below.
LCD Section 1:
Time, date, seconds, time zone, weather forecasting icons with tendency arrows, air pressure, and respective alarms sections
LCD Section 2:
-Indoor and outdoor temperature and relative humidity, wind chill, dew point, rainfall, and respective alarms sections
LCD Section 3:
Wind direction, wind speed, and respective alarms sections
Time & Date (LCD Section 1)
If the DCF77 icon (icon 2) is ON and not flashing, it means that the DCF77 radio-controlled time and date are has been received. Press the PLUS(+) key to change the format of date display between date/month/year, weekday/date/month, seconds, alarm set time and time zone.
Weather forecasting (LCD Section 1)
The three weather icons Sunny, Cloudy and Rainy represent the weather forecasting. There are also two weather tendency indicators to show the air pressure tendency either side of the weather icons.
Sunny
Cloudy
Rainy
Notes to hPa sensitivity setting for weather forecasting:
The hPa (Hekto-Pascal) pressure sensitivity can be set to suit the user's requirement for weather forecasting from 2 hPa to 4 hPa (see Basic Programming below). For areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure (which does not necessarily reflect a change in the weather) requires a higher hPa setting compared to an area where the air pressure is stagnant. For example if 3 hPa is selected, then there must be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 3 hPa before the weather station will register this as a change in weather.
Air Pressure (LCD Section 1)
The air pressure reading is displayed here. Press the PRESSURE key to toggle between relative and absolute air pressure displays.
Notes to Absolute and Relative Air Pressure:
Absolute air pressure provides the display of the true measured air pressure of the current time and location. This is not programmable and the absolute air pressure range of the weather station is from 760 hPa to 1099 hPa (standard air pressure at an altitude of 2,300 meters is around 760 hPa).
Relative air pressure is the one value that is calculated back to sea level from the local absolute air pressure and can thus be taken as a reference for weather condition and weather development for the entire country. It can be programmed to represent your local surroundings. Since the relative air pressure is also the one value given by various newspapers, TV and radio broadcasting stations in their daily weather forecasts for their
respective locations, users can set the relative air pressure of the weather station to this value to represent readings your their area (see Basic Programming Modes below).
Weather Data (LCD Section 2)
Indoor temperature and humidity are displayed simultaneously in this section. Use the DISPLAY key to toggle through the displays for other weather information:
Outdoor temperature/humidity
- Outdoor wind chill
- Outdoor dew point
Rainfall 24h
Rainfall 1h - Rainfall total.
Notes to Dewpoint and Windchill:
Air can at a certain temperature only carry a certain amount of water (water vapor), which also increases and decreases with temperature. If the air temperature decreases below the so called dewpoint (saturation point), the excessive water vapor will condense and fall out in form of dew, fog or rain. At a temperature of e.g. 15^ and a relative humidity of 50% the dewpoint will be about 5^ , at 80% humidity about 12^ . At a relative humidity of 100% saturation is reached, i.e. the dewpoint is 15^ . A t a dewpoint below freezing the fallout will become frost or snow.
Windchill has been introduced for battle planning during World War II. It represents not the real measured but the one temperature a person feels in open area under the influence of wind and cold. Windchill is laid out in tables for various temperatures and wind speeds. At an outdoor temperature of e.g. 8^ and calm winds a person moving at a speed of 6 m/s will already feel a windchill temperature of 0^ .
Wind Data (LCD Section 3)
The current wind direction will be displayed on the LCD compass on the wind section. Press the WIND key to toggle between wind direction as numerical (e.g. 225) and abbreviated characters (e.g. SW) as well as numerical wind speed display inside the compass circle.

- If reception has been unsuccessful, then the DCF77 tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour within the time frame
If reception has been successful, the received time and date will overwrite the manually set time and date and no further reception is attempted until the following day
14. MIN/MAX Programming Modes
MIN/MAX display Mode
The MIN/MAX Mode provides the user with information about the MIN/MAX values of all weather data together with the time and date at which these values were recorded.
Entering each MIN/MAX mode
In the normal display mode for e.g. the indoor temperature and humidity, press MIN/MAX key to toggle the display between the maximum, minimum and current records. While the maximum or minimum values are shown press the DISPLAY key once to show the time and date that value was received. Now press the MIN/MAX key to toggle from the minimum and maximum readings and the time and dates the records were received are
also shown. Still in the MIN/MAX mode (where the time and date for a value are shown), press the DISPLAY key to move through each respective unit as follows:
- Indoor temperature (max or min with time and date)
- Indoor humidity (max or min with time and date)
- Outdoor temperature (max or min with time and date)
- Outdoor humidity (max or min with time and date)
- Outdoor wind chill (max or min with time and date)
- Outdoor dew point (max or min with time and date)
- Rainfall 24 hours (max or min with time and date)
- Rainfall 1 hour (max or min with time and date)
- Rainfall total (max only with time and date)
When in any of the above modes, press the MIN/MAX key to toggle between the maximum or minimum values of those records and their respective time and dates will also be shown.
For the wind and pressure minimum and maximum readings, the same would apply except that the WIND or PRESSURE keys would be used instead of the DISPLAY KEY.
Exiting the MIN/MAX modes
If the maximum and minimum modes with times and dates are displayed, press the PLUS(+) key twice to return the normal display mode.
Resetting the MIN/MAX records
Whilst in the minimum or maximum mode, the time and dates are also displayed along with the recorded values. If the MINUS(-) key is pressed whilst any of these values are displayed, that particular minimum or maximum record will be reset to current reading together with the current time and date with the exception of the following:
- The first case is Rainfall Total, which has neither maximum nor minimum records since it will show only the total rainfall. Pressing the MINUS(-) key, will reset the rainfall total value to zero and the time recording to current time.
- The second case is Rainfall 24h or 1h, which records maximum rain count only for these respective times. Pressing the MINUS(-) key in either of these two modes will reset the rain count to the current rain count and time and date.
Alarm Modes
As well as the normal time alarm, this feature will allow users to set a range of specific alarms to meet specific weather and temperature conditions set by the user. The weather station allows for the following 13 alarms modes to be set:
- Time alarm

To deactivate the BUZZER OFF, press the MINUS(-) key once more.
General Alarm Icon
The general alarm icon on the bottom right corner of the LCD will appear when any weather alarm is activated to show the user that a set weather condition has been reached. The activated alarm can be determined by checking the set alarm values against the MIN/MAX values reached. To deactivate the general weather alarm icon, press the ALARM key.
Important
When entering the alarm set mode for a specific weather or temperature condition, the corresponding alarm is automatically enabled (ON) when the SET key is pressed, regardless of its previous setting and the alarm value will flash to indicate that it has been activated. Press the ALARM key to confirm the setting and continue pressing the ALARM key to toggle through each alarm mode until it returns to the normal display mode or press the MIN/MAX key at any time to exit the alarm setting modes.
When a set weather alarm condition has been activated, that particular alarm will sound and flash for approximately 2 minutes but will continue to flash until weather conditions have become more steady.
Weather Alarms
The weather alarms are settable for when certain weather conditions are met according to the users requirements. For example, the user can set the thresholds for the outdoor temperature to +40^ (high) and -10^ (low), whilst e only enabling the high alarm and disabling the low alarm (i.e. temperatures < -10^ won't trigger alarm, but temperatures > + 40^ will).
| Alarm setting | Minimum | Maximum |
| Storm threshold | 3 hPa | 9 hPa |
| Air Pressure | 920.0 hPa | 1080.0 hPa |
| Outdoor Temperature | -30.0℃ | +69.9℃ |
| Indoor Temperature | -9.9℃. No alarm will sound if the minimum indoor temperature alarm is set below -9.9℃. | +59.9℃ |
| Humidity (all) | 1% RH | 99% RH |
| Rainfall 24h | 0.0 mm | 1000 mm. |
| Rainfall 1h | 0.0 mm | 1000 mm |
| Wind | 0.0 m/s | 50.0 m/s |
Hysteresis
To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to user set level, a hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +25^ and the current value moves to +25^ , the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to +24.9^ or below and thereafter again increases to beyond +25^ , the data will be blinking g, but no alarm will be activated. It has to drop to below +24^ (with a pre-set hysteresis of 1^ ) so that the alarm can be produced again. Hysteresis values for the various weather data types are given in the following table:
| Weather data | Hysteresis |
| Temperature | 1℃ |
| Humidity | 3% RH |
| Air pressure | 1 hPa |
| Rainfall 24h | 5.0mm |
| Rainfall 1h | 0.5mm |
| Wind | 10 km/h |
16. Auto memory for stored values
The base station has a memory back up system, which is used to memorize user-defined settings for when the batteries are changed or if a power failure occurs. User defined units are automatically updated each time these are changed. The base station will memorize the following user defined units:
Time zone
12/24h time display mode
Unit settings (temperature, pressure, rainfall, wind)
Air pressure offset for calculation of relative air pressure
- Weather picture threshold
Storm warning threshold
LCD contrast
Alarm time
- Weather Alarm thresholds
State of alarms (enabled/disabled)
Rainfall total value and reset time/date
17. Accessories: adding cable extensions
For your convenience, additional telephone cables to increase the connection distance between each of the units may be purchased from any reputable hardware store. Simply add these to the current cables to extend your cable connection distance.
Telephone Extension Cables
When securing the cables during mounting, ensure that base station can receive the weather data since increasing the cables lengths may also increase levels of interference and result with reception difficulties. Interference levels will greatly depend on the surrounding area for example setting up on or near metal piping may considerably reduce reception.
For best results, do not to add more than 10 meters of extension cable from item to item onto the existing cable lengths as this may reduce reception levels. Again, reception and interference levels will greatly depend on the surrounding environment at your point of mounting.
Note:
It is important to keep all the connected extension heads away from rain, moisture and other extreme weather conditions as exposure can cause short circuits and damage to this item.
18. Changing batteries:
Battery change only in the thermo-hygro-sensor:
- Open the battery cover
- Remove the old batteries and insert with new ones of the recommended type and replace the cover
Once the sensor is powered up, press and hold the PLUS(+) key for approx. 2 seconds in the normal display mode, the base station will sound a short beep and synchronize to the sensor otherwise no weather data will be received.
Battery change only in the base station:
- Connect power adaptor to base station and power outlet.
- Open the battery cover located at the back of the base station.
- Remove the old batteries, insert with new ones of the recommended type and replace the cover
This method of battery replacement will result in no loss of MIN/MAX and history data. However in case of possible power failure, the base station will lose the MIX/MAX and all weather data recordings and will need to be synchronized to the sensors again by pressing the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds.
Note:
When batteries require replacement for the base station, the low battery indicator will light up on the LCD.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment by properly disposing of all used-up batteries and accumulators at designated disposal points. Never dispose of batteries in a fire as this may cause explosion, risk of fire or leakage of dangerous chemicals and fumes
- Interferences and problems with operation
| Problem & cause | Remedy |
| Distance between transmitters and receiver too long. | Reduce distance between transmitters and receiver to receive signal |
| High shielding materials between the units (thick walls, steel, concrete, isolating aluminum foil and etc.) | Find a different location for sensors and/or receiver. See also Item ‘Transmission Range’ below. |
| Interference from other sources (e.g. wireless radio, headset, speaker, etc. operating on the same frequency) | Find a different location for the sensors and/or base station. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference with reception |
| No Reception after adding extension cables | Find a new location for the sensors and/or base station. Recommend not adding more than 10 meter extension cables between units to the existing cable lengths as this will increase the chance data reception problems. |
| Reception then no reception - loss of transmission signal from the sensor to the base station | Press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds to synchronize the base station to the sensors for weather data reception. If still no signal, then change the sensor batteries and synchronize the units again. |
| Poor contrast LCD or no reception or low batteries in sensors or receiver. | Check the LCD contrast setting or change batteries (check low battery indicator on the LCD) |
Quite frequently interferences are only of a temporary nature and may be easily overcome. If there are wireless headsets, remote babysitters or other devices working on 433MHz in your house or in the vicinity, their switch-on time is mostly limited. Furthermore most of these devices allow the change to an interference-free frequency. Such measures will effectively overcome interferences.
20. Transmission Range
The transmission distance from the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station in open space under optimum conditions is 100 meters. Although the signal transmission may travel though solid surfaces or objects, the following points should be avoided if possible:
High frequency interferences of any kind.
Constructions of any kind or trees.
- The distance of transmitter and receiver to conducting planes or object (including the human body or the ground) does influence the transmission characteristics and thus the transmission distance.
- Broadband interferences in municipal areas can reach levels reducing the signal/noise ratio over the entire frequency band, thus also reducing the transmission distance.
Devices working close by (example a neighbor's house) may also influence reception.
- Poorly shielded PCs can cause interferences that will reduce or in some cases stop reception
21. Cleaning and Maintenance
- Clean the housing and screen of the base station only with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
-
Ensure that the rain sensor does not collect leaves or other dirt by checking the funnel for blockages every now and then. Also clean the seesaw of the sensor with a damp cloth and check by lightly tapping with your finger that it can move freely from side to side.
-
Do not clean the funnel with the bottom half of the rain sensor attached nor the bottom part itself under running water. This may bear the danger of water entering the unit's inner parts and cause damages.
- Do not immerse the base station in water.
- Should there be damage to this product, please do not attempt to make any repairs. Please take this unit to a qualified technician. Opening or improper handling of the units will invalidate any guarantee.
