5. Features and functions
a) Weather station
At first glance, the weather station does not differ from other standard weather stations.
However, it can analyse and display weather information received in addition to the DCF signal (or the HBG signal
in Switzerland) via radio, the so-called "METEOTIME" signal.
The weather information is compiled by professional meteorologists with the most modern instrument and is
therefore based on similar data as the one in weather forecasts on the TV or radio.
The following forecasts displayed:
• Weather data display (weather forecast via symbols, day temperature, night temperature) for the current day and
the following 3 days for 60 regions in Europe
• Additional weather data display for 30 more regions in Europe (for the current and the next day)
• Precipitation forecast (today)
• Wind speed and direction (today)
• Weather warnings (e.g. storm)
• Display of the sunrise/sunset times for 272 metropolises in Europe
In addition, the weather station features the following displays and functions:
• Radio-controlled DCF time/date display
• Display of the indoor temperature/air humidity (measured via sensor)
• Display of the outdoor temperature/air humidity (measured via sensor)
• Display of the wind speed and wind direction (measured via sensor)
• Display of the rain quantity (measured via sensor)
• Display of the air pressure value and progression (measured via sensor)
• Temperature display (indoor/outdoor sensors) in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F, selectable)
• Air pressure display in different units ("hPa", "inHg", "mmHg")
• Wind speed display in kilometers per hour ("km/h"), miles per hour ("mph"), meters per second ("m/s")
• MIN/MAX memory for indoor/outdoor temperature, indoor/outdoor humidity, wind speed and rain quantity
• Installation on a table or mounting on a wall
• Operation with four batteries type AA/mignon or external power pack unit
• USB connection for data evaluation via PC
• Operation in dry indoor locations (weather station/power pack unit must not get damp or wet!)
• Background illumination of LC display
