1. General information and functioning
The WS-2510 Touch Screen Wireless Weather Station represents a high-quality, extremely convenient universal weather
measuring system, which can record, process and display data from up to 8 external wireless temperature and humidity
sensors, a wireless wind sensor, a wireless rainfall sensor and a wireless brightness sensor.
The operating concept of the weather station is remarkable. It does not use any operating elements, but is operated solely
via a large, touch-sensitive LC display.
The display can be illuminated permanently or on a time basis, so that it can be easily read under nearly all light
conditions.
The weather station can optionally be powered by means of batteries or with the plug-in power adaptor provided
(particularly recommended when the display is continuously lit or lit for any length of time).
