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.

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

components work properly before positioning them in their final
locations.
3.1

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
