Introduction Thank you for selecting the Honeywell Semi-Professional Weather Station. This compact and easy-to-use product uniquely measures and monitors weather data right at your immediate location. It includes a wide range of weather features plus precise atomic time and perpetual calendar. Weather measurements include: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall levels and more.
interconnecting wires are required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensors (transmitters). Power up and test communications between all of the sensors and the main unit BEFORE mounting them outside. · · For most applications alkaline batteries are acceptable where temperatures remain above 32°F (0°C). At temperatures below 32ºF(0ºC) use lithium batteries otherwise transmission performance will be reduced or interrupted · · Avoid using rechargeable batteries.
A. LED INDICATOR · Flashes once when the remote sensor transmits a reading to the main unit. · Flashes twice when battery power is low. B. BATTERY COMPARTMENT Holds two AA-size batteries C.

direct sunlight and an extreme weather conditions. · · · · Ideally, place the thermo-hygrometer sensor above the natural surfaces (such as a grassy lawn). Avoid placing the thermo-hygrometer sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys and heating elements. Avoid areas that collect or radiate heat from the sun, such as metal, brick/concrete structures, paving, or patio decks. The best location for temperature measurements is 4 feet (1.25meters) above the ground.

Initial Set up 1. Power up each of the remotes as instructed in previous sections.( Remove clear protective plastic slips from the battery compartments) 2. Then power up the main display. 3. Once the main unit is powered, the display will briefly show all available LCD segments for a moment. 4. IMPORTANT: Do not press any buttons during the set up process which typically takes about 5-10 minutes. The display functions will be automatically set including local altitude and pressure parameters.
2. 3. 4. 5. Time with the City abbreviation Time with the Seconds Month/ Day/ Year or Day/ Month/ Year. Current UTC Time (Coordinated Universal Time) Selecting Clock and Alarm Window Press main unit UP arrow button or DOWN arrow button until the clock icon next to the time/date display continues to flash. Initial Settings: City, Time, Date and Language · With the Clock and Alarm icon flashing, press and hold SET button until the day of week language abbreviation “ENG” will flash.
· Press SET to confirm selection. · Press UP or DOWN to select the correct minute. · Press SET to confirm selection and to complete the initial programming for your weather station. After programming is completed, the display will return to the default Clock and Alarm Window. Note: If you do not complete this sequence your entries will be lost. Note: Press and hold SET anytime during the setup to return to normal Clock and Alarm Window and all previous settings will be cancelled.
Select Pressure and Weather Forecast Window Press UP or DOWN arrow buttons on the main unit until the weather forecast icon begins to flash, upper display left corner. NOTE: Wait at least 5 - 10 minutes after initial set up to view a pressure or altitude information. Pressure and Altitude Information Press SET button once (do not hold it) to alternate between the Sea Level Pressure, Local Pressure and Local Altitude settings.
During initial power up (within the first 5 – 10 minutes) the weather station will not operate. These parameters can be modified after the display has stabilized Select the Pressure and Weather Forecast window by pressing UP or DOWN arrow button until the pressure and weather forecast icon starts flashing. NOTE: Locate your altitude with a portable GPS receiver or topographical map .Locate barometric pressure at: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/ccus.
Viewing the Pressure, Temperature and Humidity Bar Charts The pressure bar graph shows barometric pressure variations over the past 24 hours. This is very useful for understanding the Barometric trends that are used in weather forecasting. Each bar icon represents 0.06 inHg. Alternatively, the bar chart can be used to display 24 hour trend data for Sea Level Pressure, CH 1 Remote temperature or Ch1 Remote humidity.
Note: The weather forecast accuracy is approximately 70%. Display shows 12 to 24 hour forecast, not current conditions. The SUNNY icon indicates clear weather, even when displayed during the night-time. Temperature and Humidity Window The weather station supports Indoor Temperature & Humidity and up to five remote temperature and humidity sensors (1 remote sensor is included). Temperature can be displayed in either Celsius (ºC) or Fahrenheit (ºF).
Selecting Temperature and Humidity Window Press main unit UP or DOWN arrow buttons until the IN icon on the upper right will flash. Viewing Temperature and Humidity for each Channel At any time simply press the CHANNEL button to recall a different remote thermo hygrometer channel. Channel Auto-Scan Display: To enable automatic scan of all available channels, press and hold CHANNEL button, until the Channels will be alternately displayed with a 5-second delay. icon is displayed.
· In the Temperature and Humidity Mode, press ALARM/CHART button once selecting the desired alarm limit – Upper or Lower · Press and hold ALARM/CHART button until the remote temperature and starts flashing. · Adjust the temperature digits for the corresponding Temperature Alarm limit using the UP por DOWN qbuttons. Press and hold either button for fast digits advance. · Press the ALARM/CHART button to confirm selection and return to the Temperature Alarm selection screen.

Configuring Wind Display With the wind icon flashing, press the SET button to alternate between “wind chill with direction in bearings”, “wind chill with direction in compass points”, “anemometer temperature & wind direction in compass points” or “anemometer temperature and wind direction in bearings.
· Press ALARM/CHART button to confirm your selection and return to the wind alert selection screen. Disabling the Wind Alert To disable wind alert when it is displayed after pressing ALARM/CHART button press UP or DOWN arrow button – OFF will be displayed instead of previously set alarm time. LED Backlight Options The main unit backlight can be turned on, off or automatic depending on light conditions.
Disable/Enable Snooze function To enable a snooze function press LIGHT/SNOOZE button. Note: Alarm will automatically “snooze” if no buttons are pressed after the alarm sounds for 2 minutes. This will occur three times only. Disable alarm(s): Press ALARM/CHART button to disable the alarm (s). Note: For weekday alarm, pressing ALARM/CHART button will only disable the alarm for the current day. The alarm will activate again on the next day, Monday through Friday.
Remote Sensor Status The wave icon above the current channel display shows the connection status of the corresponding remote sensor: Activate Search for Remote Sensors Normally the main display will automatically find and display measurement results from the remote sensors. However, occasionally other radio transmission sources (TV, Cordless or Cell Phones etc) can interrupt the sensor signal. If this happens simply press and hold the DOWN arrow button for 4 – 6 seconds to activate a new search.
· To enforce an immediate remote signals search, press and hold DOWN arrow button for 4-5 seconds on the main unit. Cleaning The main unit and remote sensor casings can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Small parts can be cleaned with a cotton tip or pipe-cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaning agents and solvents. Do not immerse units with electronic parts under water. Anemometer Assure that wind vane and wind cups spin freely and are free from dirt, debris and spider webs.
appliances. Q: “My weather station readings are different from TV, radio or official weather reports.” A: The weather data may vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement of the remote sensors. If readings are in question, check the sensor placement tips included in this manual. Q: “The weather forecast is inaccurate.” A: Weather forecast predicts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, and does not reflect current weather conditions.
