5 Weather station connecti on pane, mo unting arrangements and battery compartment. The indoor/outdoor sensor system of the WS-2510 operates exclusively with wireless radio data transfer. You can set up or mount the sensors up to 300 feet (100 m) (depen ding on local conditions, see section on “range”) from t he base station. Longer distances a[...]

6 Setting up/Wall mounting Depending on requirem ents, the weather station can be hung o n 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 latchi ng positions (45º/60º) in the hinge of the desk stand for when the unit is mounted on the des k. When using [...]

7 ensures optimum reception in the initialization pha se. If the si gnal from the sensor is unable to be received within this time, then the reception is affected and shou ld be im proved by re-positioning the sensor. The external temperature and hum idity sensors shoul d be addressed according to sectio n 2.3.4. 2.2.1. Insertion of magnets into th[...]

8 electronics. The upper pa rt 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 cat ches fitting neatly into the holding devices in the lower part . Finally turn the upper part gently anti-cl ockwise until it secu rely slots into holding devices [...]

9 2.3.8 Information on the storage of solar cell po w ered outdoor sen sors These sensors receive their operating vo lt age from a solar cell that charges an internal battery to provide po wer for periods of darkness and ba d weather. If one of these sensors is out of action for some time and do es not receive any light this has no affect on the in[...]

10 3.1.1. General settings Illumination settings To switch on the illumination, press any touch screen field on the display. The illumination w ill now remai n switched on for the programmed time (after the last key press). As standard, the illumi nation is active for 10s with battery opera tion and continuously on when using the AC power adaptor. [...]

11 Illumination time for AC adaptor operation The illumination time for AC adaptor oper ation (“line”) is displayed in the “L IGHT” field (touch screen field 1). A setting here is only meaningful when the weather sta tion is powered by means of the AC adaptor power su pply. The time displayed shows in hours and minut es how long the display[...]

12 Calibration of the rainfall reading indicator The rainfall measuring system is delivered with a very hi gh accurac y, so that normally no calibration is required. A calibration only becomes necessa ry when very high accura cy is require d for professional use or for special purposes. Before starting the calibration of the rainf all reading indic[...]

13 Setting the air pressure display units The display units for air pressure are shown in tou ch screen field 11 on the right hand side next to the air pre ssure value. The factory setting is hPa. - By touching field 11 the display units can be switche d between hPa, mmHg or inHg. Keypad beep on/off - The keypad beep can be switched on (S ound on) [...]
