1. General aspects and Function
The TouchScreen Wireless Weather Station WS 550 US is a high-quality, highly
comfortable universal weather measurement system that can record, process
and display data from a maximum of 8 (currently not available) additional wireless
temperature and humidity sensors as well as a combi-sensor up to a distance of
400 ft. (outdoor range).
The combination sensor TX 550 US belonging to the weather station is meant for
outdoor use and captures the following:
Temperature, humidity, direction of wind, wind velocity, set in of rain, rain quantity
and duration of sunshine.
The weather sensors for inside temperature, indoor humidity and air pressure are
already located inside the weather station; hence no external sensor is required for
these measurements.
The operating concept is the most excellent feature of the weather station. It does
not have any traditional operating elements; it is operated only with the help of a
highly sensitive TouchScreen and simple menu structures. Even the weather sen-
sors can be easily logged into the system.
Weather data from the combi-sensor can be queried in real time; in “live mode”
touching the respective display field triggers a data query (bi-directional wireless
technology). Hence, the latest data is always available. Further, the combi-sensor
can also be prompted in "live mode" to send its measurement data for 20 seconds
at 2 seconds intervals. You can track in real time the wind direction and the wind
velocity for 20 seconds. The display can be illuminated permanently or with time
controls; thus the display is legible under almost all light conditions. The glass foot
and the transparent design frame of the device are also illuminated.
As the weather station has a large internal memory it is best suited for observation
over long periods - a total of 3000 records can be stored in the internal memory.
Please read this Operating Instructions manual carefully and in full to avoid
functional disturbances and wrong operations. Please store this manual
for future reference.
Please follow the assembling and calibration instructions for the measure-
ment recorders.
