Configuration And Operation; A) Basic Settings, Configuration - Conrad Electronic WS333 Edition Bedienungsanleitung

Depending on the location, leaves, particles of dirt carried by the wind, small twigs and similar can enter the
cone collector of the rain gauge. Large parts can clog the flow-through!
Sand can also collect in the count rocker which will affect the measuring result negatively as it increases.
For this reason, the rain gauge should be cleaned at least once a year.
Proceed as follows:
• open the lower part of the rain gauge. To do this, turn the lower part approx. 1 cm to the left until you can
let the metal nips slide downwards.
• remove the upper cone collector by turning it first of all a small distance to the right; then lift it off to the
top.
• the rainfall sensor (the plastic part with the two brass pins and cable) can now be removed.
Make a note of the orientation; the connection cable of the rainfall sensor can be found at one side.
• Remove the count rocker.
Make a note of the orientation; there is a small magnet at one side of the count rocker.
• Now clean the components of the rain gauge. Think also of the drain hole in the plastic lower part of the
rain gauge which you have pushed downwards at the metal pipe.
• To reassemble, place the count rocker first of all in the
holder.
For this, the magnet of the count rocker has to belo-
cated on the side which points to the cable.
The two lower trapezoid pins have to be inserted into
the lower part of the holder correctly.
Only in this manner is it guaranteed that the count
rocker can be moved easily.

9. Configuration and Operation
After installation of the radio sensors and the subsequent commissioning of the base station (this order must
be observed!), the data transmitted by the radio sensors should appear on the LC display of the base station.
a) Basic Settings, configuration
The following settings are still required for operation:
• Year, month, day, hour, minute
• Latitude/longitude of your position
• Time zone
You will then see the display of the moon phase and the sunset/sunrise as well as the date and the
time.
Additional settings:
• Rain sensor alignment is possible on request (however, this was already carried out by the manufacturer
so that it normally does not have to be repeated!)
• Unit of rain quantity
• Assignment of progress display (air pressure, interior or exterior temperature)
• Wind strength unit
The keys have the following functions in configuration mode:
Imprint Function

You will also find the key allocation on the back of the weather station.
Please observe:
The values are adjusted more quickly if you press the keys "+" or "-" longer when making individual
settings.
After each setting, you can leave the configuration mode by pressing "EXIT" or move on to the next
setting using the key "NEXT".
Configuration takes place in the sequence:
Year Month Day Minute Hours Latitude
Longitude Time zone (ti) Rain sensor alignment
Rain unit quantity Assignment of progress display
After that, the setting order commences from the beginning again.
