Glossary of Common Terms

DCF/WWVB

The DCF or WWVB time signal is an AM modulated time-of-day signal broadcasted by the Federal

Government of Germany or NIST from USA. The time base is generated from an atomic time generator which

is accurate to 10 billions of one second.

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

Important Note:

Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual.

The touch screen weather station WH1080PC includes a base station(receiver), a transmitter unit, one wind

direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software package on

CD-ROM.

The Base Station is equipped with a Touch Screen LCD Monitor and allows the display of a large variety of

time and weather data.

Left Top LCD: IN-OUT temperature and humidity

Right Top LCD: Wind and Rain measurement

Left Middle LCD: Weather Forecast(Tendency)

Right Middle LCD: Air Pressure and Air Pressure History

Bottom Line LCD: Time and Date, Memory Data Usage

Note: The presence of the "Alarm-On icon" in the section means that the particular alarm has been enabled.

Important Notes: On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation. Wind speed sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket on wind direction sensor.

otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode will be terminated right after the touch of LCD. When outdoor transmitter has been registered, the Touch Screen Weather Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further settings can be performed by the user. If no RCC signal is detected in the initial setup, the transmitter will try once every hour to get an RCC signal until a signal is received.
