1. General information and functioning The WS-2510 Touch Screen Wireless Weather Station represents a high-quality, extremely convenient universal weather measuring system, which can record, process and display data from up to 8 external wireless temperature and humidity sensors, a wireless wind sensor, a wireless rainfall sensor and a wireless brightness sensor. The operating concept of the weather station is remarkable. It does not use any operating elements, but is operated solely via

Other - Confirmation tone for touch screen operation can be selected to on or off. - Can be desk mounted or wall mounted according to the design. - Programmable time for display illumination All important weather information appears at the same time on the display, so that operator intervention is unnecessary for monitoring the weather situation. Several base units can be operated at the same time and the sensor data can therefore be displayed at a number of places at the same time.

Weather station connection pane, mounting arrangements and battery compartment. Please read these instructions carefully from start to finish before initial start up to avoid functional breakdown and faulty operation. Keep the instructions available for future reference. Pay particular attention to the installation and calibration instructions for the instruments for recording the measured values. The indoor/outdoor sensor system of

Setting up/Wall mounting Depending on requirements, the weather station can be hung on a vertical surface (wall) by means of the hanging eyes or set up on a horizontal surface using the foldout desk stand. There are two possible latching positions (45º/60º) in the hinge of the desk stand for when the unit is mounted on the desk. When using this method, any cables that are connected should be laid tidily in the slots of the desk stand in order to ensure an inconspicuous and orderly routing of

ensures optimum reception in the initialization phase. If the signal from the sensor is unable to be received within this time, then the reception is affected and should be improved by re-positioning the sensor. The external temperature and humidity sensors should be addressed according to section 2.3.4. 2.2.1. Insertion of magnets into the outdoor sensors In the WS-2510-25 and WS-2510-19 outdoor sensors, the magnet for activating the system is pressed into an opening provided for it in t

The upper part of the housing can now be placed so that the solar cell is on the same side as the magnet, with the electronic part directly opposite it, with the three catches fitting neatly into the holding devices in the lower part. Finally turn the upper part gently anti-clockwise until it securely slots into holding devices of the lower part. The rain sensor is then ready for operation. As a test pour a little water gently into the funnel. The amount collected will 2 then be

2.3.8 Information on the storage of solar cell powered outdoor sensors These sensors receive their operating voltage from a solar cell that charges an internal battery to provide power for periods of darkness and bad weather. If one of these sensors is out of action for some time and does not receive any light this has no affect on the internal battery, provided the magnets designed to activate the operating voltage are removed. Therefore the sensor can be stored for several months in it

3.1.1. General settings Illumination settings To switch on the illumination, press any touch screen field on the display. The illumination will now remain switched on for the programmed time (after the last key press). As standard, the illumination is active for 10s with battery operation and continuously on when using the AC power adaptor. To switch off the illumination manually, press the “LIGHT OFF” key (bottom left, field 23). The times for the illumination can be set up in configur

Illumination time for AC adaptor operation The illumination time for AC adaptor operation (“line”) is displayed in the “LIGHT” field (touch screen field 1). A setting here is only meaningful when the weather station is powered by means of the AC adaptor power supply. The time displayed shows in hours and minutes how long the display is to remain lit after the last touch screen field has been pressed. A value of 0:00 means that the illumination will never come on. A value of -:-- (appears a

Calibration of the rainfall reading indicator The rainfall measuring system is delivered with a very high accuracy, so that normally no calibration is required. A calibration only becomes necessary when very high accuracy is required for professional use or for special purposes. Before starting the calibration of the rainfall reading indicator, set any existing summed rainfall value in the normal display mode back to zero (see section “Rainfall measurement“). For the exact calibration pr

Setting the air pressure display units The display units for air pressure are shown in touch screen field 11 on the right hand side next to the air pressure value. The factory setting is hPa. - By touching field 11 the display units can be switched between hPa, mmHg or inHg. Keypad beep on/off - The keypad beep can be switched on (Sound on) or off (Sound off) by touching field 12. Setting the display type for the history (trend display) - By touching field 16 the history display can b
