3. Opstelling

3.1 Uitpak

Verwyder alle komponente versigtig uit die verpakking. Verifieer dat alle onderdele teenwoordig is:

• Hoofvertooneenheid
• Outdoor Multi-Sensor Unit
• Mounting hardware (screws, pole, base)
• Gebruikershandleiding (hierdie dokument)

Bewaar die verpakking vir toekomstige berging of vervoer.

3.2 Battery installasie

The Alecto WS-4700 requires AA batteries for operation.

1. Hoofvertooneenheid: Locate the battery compartment on the back of the display unit. Insert the required number of AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
2. Outdoor Multi-Sensor Unit: Locate the battery compartment on the outdoor sensor. Insert the required number of AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Securely close the compartment to protect against weather.

Let wel: It is recommended to use high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries for optimal performance, especially in cold climates for the outdoor sensor.

3.3 Sensorplasing

Proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate readings.

• Ligging: Choose an open area, away from obstructions like buildings, trees, or fences that could block wind or rain.
• Hoogte: Mount the sensor at a height of approximately 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) above the ground for optimal wind and rain measurement.
• Oriëntasie: Ensure the wind vane is oriented correctly (usually facing North) according to the instructions provided with the sensor.
• Sonlig: Position the sensor to minimize direct sunlight exposure on the temperature/humidity sensors, ideally in a shaded but open area, or rely on the built-in radiation shield.

The main display unit should be placed indoors, within the wireless range of the outdoor sensor. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electronic devices that could interfere with the wireless signal.

3.4 Aanvanklike Opstelling en Sensorsinchronisasie

After battery installation, the main display unit will automatically attempt to synchronize with the outdoor sensor.

1. Power on the main display unit.
2. Power on the outdoor sensor unit.
3. The display unit will search for the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes.
4. Once connected, outdoor temperature, humidity, wind, and rain data will appear on the display.
5. The radio-controlled clock will automatically attempt to set the correct time and date. This may take several hours depending on signal strength.

If synchronization fails, ensure both units have fresh batteries and are within range. You may need to manually initiate a sensor search from the main display unit (refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for specific button functions).

4. Bedryfsinstruksies

4.1 Vertoon oorview

The main display unit provides a comprehensive overview of current and historical weather data.

Figuur 5: Gedetailleerd view of the Alecto WS-4700 display. Key areas include time and date, indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, 12-hour weather forecast icons, barometric pressure with history graph, wind direction compass, wind speed, and wind chill.

Common display segments include:

• Tyd en Datum: Top section, automatically set by radio signal.
• Binne/buite temperatuur en humiditeit: Displays current readings.
• 12-Hour Forecast: Animated icons indicating predicted weather conditions.
• Barometriese druk: Current pressure and a historical graph.
• Winddata: Direction (compass rose), speed (current and average), and wind chill.
• Reënval: Total rainfall for various periods (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Heat Index / Dew Point: Calculated values for comfort and moisture.

4.2 Knoppie Funksies

The main display unit features several buttons for navigation and settings. While specific labels may vary, common functions include:

• GESKIEDENIS: View historical data for various parameters (e.g., max/min temperature, pressure trends).
• MAX/MIN: Toggle between maximum and minimum recorded values for temperature, humidity, etc.
• UITSTALLING: Cycle through different display modes or units (e.g., °C/°F, mph/km/h).
• STEL: Enter setup mode for manual adjustments (e.g., time zone, alarm settings).
• +/- (Op/Af): Adjust values during setup or navigate menus.

Refer to the on-screen prompts and the full manual for detailed button press sequences for specific functions.

4.3 Tyd en Datum instel (Handmatige aanpassing)

While the radio-controlled clock automatically sets the time, manual adjustment may be necessary if the signal is weak or unavailable.

1. Druk en hou die STEL knoppie om die tyd/datum-instellingsmodus te betree.
2. Gebruik die +/- knoppies om die flikkerende waarde aan te pas (bv. uur, minuut, jaar, maand, dag).
3. Druk STEL again to confirm the value and move to the next setting.
4. Repeat until all settings are configured.
5. Exit setup mode by pressing STEL or waiting for the unit to time out.

4.4 Weervoorspelling Interpretasie

The weather station predicts weather conditions based on changes in atmospheric pressure. The animated icons represent:

• Sonnig
• Gedeeltelik Bewolk
• Bewolk
• Reënerig
• Snowy (if applicable)

These forecasts are based on local barometric pressure trends and are generally accurate for a 12-24 hour period within a limited radius. They should not replace official weather alerts.

5. Onderhoud

5.1 Skoonmaak

• Vertooneenheid: Vee met 'n sagte, damp lap. Vermy skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels.
• Buitelugsensor: Periodically check the rain collector for debris (leaves, insects) and clean as necessary. Ensure the wind cups and vane spin freely. Gently wipe the radiation shield to remove dust or dirt.

5.2 Batteryvervanging

Replace batteries in both the main display unit and the outdoor sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries in a unit at the same time with new ones of the same type.

Let wel: When replacing outdoor sensor batteries, the main unit may temporarily lose connection. It should re-synchronize automatically within a few minutes.
