Operation Manual
About this manual
Thank you and congratulations on selecting this professional weather station! We are
positive you will enjoy the benefits of accurate weather readings and the precise radio
controlled time information that our instruments offer.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your PCE-FWS 20 device. Use
this manual to become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future
reference.
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 PCE-FWS 20 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.
An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed
time and weather data on a PC as well as the ability to upload the data to Internet Web
Sites.
Important Operation Notes
All actions and functions of the weather station are started on the touch screen by slightly
Touching (not pressing!) the related areas, touch the flashing +, ON/OFF or – to make the
corresponding selection or increase the value.
Every time a programming step is activated by touching a switching area on the Touch
Screen a tone will sound, and the back light is switched on for a few seconds as well.
If no areas are pressed for 30 seconds, the LCD will automatically revert to the normal
display mode (automatic time out).

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.
Wind direction sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-
hygro sensor with marking of “Wind” on top.
The rain sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro
sensor with marking of “Rain” on top.
System Start
Insert two pieces of LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter, the LED located in the
middle front case of transmitter will be turned on for 4 seconds and then it will be off and start
to work normally. The transmitter will make a data transmission and then start radio
controlled time reception routine. If time signal can be detected correctly, then the LED will
start to flash 5 times indicating time signal has been found correctly. When time signal is bad
and reception is not possible, the transmitter will terminate radio controlled time reception
within one minute and resume normal mode. When there is a data transmission happened,
the LED will be on for 20ms. During radio controlled time reception period, there is no
transmission and normal transmission will only resume after time reception routine is
complete. The longest time for radio controlled time reception is 5 minutes.
After inserting the batteries into the Weather Station, all LCD segments will be turned on for a
few seconds, all possible display segments are turned on for checking.
After this, the weather station will make initial measurement and start to register the
transmitter ( the radio reception icon will be turned on). Before there is outdoor data received,
it is not allowed to touch the LCD, 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. Once the transmitter receives the RCC signal it will
transmit the signal to the monitor.
On the monitor the RCC icon will be displayed, if the monitor doesn’t receive the RCC signal
or loses the signal the RCC icon will not be display.
Note: The best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00am – when
there is less atmospheric interference.
Positioning
Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they
can be positioned in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that
all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If e.g.
there appear to be problems with the 868 MHz radio transmission, they can mostly be
overcome by moving the mounting locations.
Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field
can reach a distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such
as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off
radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or
mounting locations.
Setting Up
Note: Because of the default settings already determined by the manufacturer it may not be
necessary for the majority of users to perform – except the Relative Air Pressure (see further
down) - any further basic settings. Changes, however, can be easily made.
For basic settings, the following menu is started by touching the Touch Screen in the desired
display area.
The basic settings can now be performed in the following successive order:
Note: setting procedure can be exited at any time by touching any other function area (except
“+”, “-” or “ON/OFF”).

PC Connection
As an important feature in addition to the display on the Touch Screen, the Weather
Station allows the read-out of all measured and displayed time and weather data in
form of complete history data sets on a PC.
Data Storage
For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the internal storage of up to
4080 complete sets of weather data with time and date. These data sets are being stored in
non-volatile ring buffer memory (EEPROM) and will not be lost even in case of an interruption
of power supply (e. g. change of batteries).
In case the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the oldest data sets stored
will be overwritten by the new ones entered.
Data Recall
Certain weather data or setting values can only be read out, processed, and displayed by
means of a PC. Also the settings of the storing intervals from 5 minutes to 250 minutes for
the storage of data sets can only be performed by means of a PC.
Connections and Software
The wiring between Weather Station and PC takes place by means of an included USB
cable. The Easy Weather software package, also included in the shipping contents, must be
installed on the PC.
This software allows the display of all present weather data with graphic symbols. It also
allows the display, storage, and printing of history data sets, whose volume exceeding the
maximum 4080 data sets of the Weather Station is only limited by the capacity of the PC’s
main memory.
PC software installation
The installation of PCE-FWS 20 software is very simple: double click the setup.exe file and
follow the steps popped up.
Make sure you are running the program under the administrator accounts of your windows
PC platform.

[e-mail]
17
Otherwise the graphic function might not be working when graph display mode is needed to
display all history data.
If you run the program for the first time, the current weather display will be displayed and at
the sub line of the window, the program will show related information regarding the read of all
history data into the PC. Please note however, when there is large amount of data is being
uploaded, it will take a few minutes time before the system can respond to your setup
settings. Otherwise it will display “read weather data fail” error message since the USB port is
reading the data from the memory and the system is not able to respond any further job
tasks.

[e-mail]
18
When memory is full, it will take about two minutes to upload all history data into PC and it
takes another two minutes to process all history data for graphic display.
