1. General information and functions The E9300 Professional Weather Station is a high-quality universal weather measuring system that processes a wide range of weather data and additional information and can display both current values and forecasts. All relevant data are displayed simultaneously on the LCD, while additional data can be called up at the press of a button as required. The exclusive Weather Wiz Kid figure on the LCD makes reading the forecast a breeze. His clothes indicate the act

2. Preparation for operation Start up all outdoor sensors first, then the base station. 2.1. The outdoor sensors The following outdoor sensors are available for the weather station: - E 9301 combi-sensor: This is a permanently addressed combination sensor consisting of rain sensor, instant rain detection sensor, wind speed sensor, outdoor temperature/humidity sensor and integrated transmitter unit. Operation is by means of three AA batteries. - E 9305 outdoor temperature/humidity sensor: Address

The sensor will now be in synchronisation mode for about 5 minutes, during which one data packet will be sent every 4 seconds. - Close the housing again by pushing it up and turning it clockwise until it engages. - Erect the now fully assembled sensor within the possible transmission radius (up to 300 ft. in the open, but make allowances for the attenuating effects of walls etc.) so that it stands alone in such a way that both precipitation can fall directly into the rain sensor and that the win

Setting up/Wall mounting Depending on requirements, the weather station can be hung on a vertical surface (wall) by means of the attachment eye or set up on a horizontal surface using the fold-out desk stand. - The desk stand is erected as illustrated in the following pictures. It is important that the short claws of the desk stand are first inserted into the brackets on the rear of the unit. - The desk stand is then tilted forward until the long claws engage in the snap-in brackets on the botto

select a location near you and enter its coordinates. - If you have a GPS navigation system, e.g. in the car or a mobile device, you can copy its position indication to obtain an exact location. - Exact coordinates can also be obtained from the Internet. There are numerous sites which deal with navigation. Remember that strictly speaking the information for sunrise and sunset applies only by the sea or for land that is completely flat. Mountains, high forests etc. can reduce the actual daytime c

All the settings required for the weather station to operate normally have now been made. The expanded settings are not needed for normal operation. EXIT Quit Press the "EXIT" key to leave configuration configuration mode and return to normal mode. or NEXT Expanded Press the "NEXT" key in order to make settings expanded settings and to calibrate the rain sensor. Entering the rain sensor calibration value The rainfall measuring system is delivered from the factory with high accuracy, so that

Assigning the indicator path (History display) The history of the air pressure, the inside or the outside temperature can be illustrated in the display field of the graphic indicator path. If the indicator path is assigned to one of the two temperature displays, the additional symbol " " appears in the relevant display field to remind the user which measurement is indicated in the history display. Abbreviations in the display field: P → Air pressure O → Outside temperature I → Inside temperature

3.2. Operation Follow these instructions to operate the Professional Weather Station on a day to day basis. Selecting the indoor temperature display In normal mode the "INDOOR" display field shows the indoor temperature and indoor humidity. - By repeatedly pressing the "IN" key, you can switch between displaying the indoor temperature and the associated dew point value: → Indoor temperature → Dew point Selecting the outdoor temperature display In normal mode the "OUTDOOR" display field shows the

Calling up MIN/MAX values The minimum and maximum values reached for the indoor and outdoor temperature and indoor and outdoor humidity since the data were last deleted are saved. For the wind speed and rainfall measurement, only the MAX values are saved. For all figures, the date and time that the extreme value occurred are also saved. The stored data can be called up as follows: Calling up minimum values - Press the "MIN/MAX" key once: The display shows all minimum values in the relevant displ

Instant rain display - The onset of rain is reported to the base station in the next radio data transmis- sion and indicated by raindrops in the "RAIN" field and the Wiz Kid`s umbrella being open. Comfort indicator - The comfort indicator (☺) illustrates the climatic conditions (i.e. the rela- tionship between temperature and humidity). Chapter 9 has a table of values for the display ranges. 4. Changing batteries Base station If the flat battery symbol appears in the display (Lo Bat ) all batt

5. Troubleshooting Possible faults that could impair the correct display of the transmitted readings are: No reception – The distance between transmitter and receiver is too great. Reduce the distance between the transmitter and the receiver. No reception – Dense shielding materials are positioned between the trans- mitter and the receiver (thick walls, reinforced concrete, ...) Find another position for the transmitter and receiver. See also chapter 6 ("Range"). Transmitter batteries are discha

6. Range The free field range, i.e. the range of the line of sight contact between the transmitter and the receiver is 300 ft. under optimum conditions. Walls and even reinforced concrete can be penetrated, which does, however, reduce the range. A reduced range can occur due to the following reasons: · High-frequency interference of all kinds · Built structures and vegetation of all types · The distance of the transmitter or receiver from conductive surfaces or objects (even to the human body or
