I. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting THE WEATHER PICTURE. To take full
advantage of its advanced features, please take a few minutes to read
through and follow this short booklet. Its simple step-by-step instructions
will speed you through installation and help assure you many years of
complete satisfaction.
THE WEATHER PICTURE displays information it receives from an
ULTIMETER®Weather Station, continuously providing and updating all
the vital weather data you have pre-selected, without having to press a
single key.
In addition to the compass rose Wind Direction Display, THE WEATHER
PICTURE features up to seven red illuminated Numeric Displays. Each
Numeric Display is easily pre-set by the user to display an individual item
of weather data collected by an ULTIMETER®Weather Station. The
displayed data is clearly labeled using easy-to-insert labels (provided) for
a totally customized, totally professional display. Each Numeric Display
can be set and labeled to show the exact data item and measurement
units you desire.
THE WEATHER PICTURE is connected to the Serial Data Output Port of
an ULTIMETER®Weather Station. Weather data sent to THE
WEATHER PICTURE is constantly updated (as often as two times per
second) to provide up-to-the-minute information on changing weather
conditions.
II. PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Please take a few minutes to plan the installation of your WEATHER
PICTURE. You'll help assure your long term satisfaction with the
installation and almost certainly save time and effort in the process.
The cable included with THE WEATHER PICTURE connects to the
junction box of an ULTIMETER®2100 Weather Station, or to the
Keyboard/Display Unit of an ULTIMETER®100/800/2000 Weather
Station and an AC Adapter (included). The length of the Weather Picture
cable is 25 feet, and the length of the AC Adapter cord is 6 feet, so plan
to hang THE WEATHER PICTURE on a wall within 25 feet of the
ULTIMETER®Keyboard/Display (or ULTIMETER®2100 Junction Box)
and near a 110v wall outlet.
If your installation requires greater distance between THE WEATHER
PICTURE and the ULTIMETER®Keyboard/Display, an Extension Cable
(40 feet) may be obtained (see "Available Accessories"). If no wall outlet
is close enough to where you wish to hang THE WEATHER PICTURE,
then use a properly-rated extension cord between the wall outlet and the
AC Adapter.

two holes 3.75 in. apart for the wood screws or drywall anchors
provided. Mount at a height slightly above eye level for best
viewing angle.
2. Install the mounting bracket using the two screws provided. Do
not overtighten.
3. Hang the WEATHER PICTURE from the two projecting nubs
on the mounting bracket.
11

TO ADJUST TIME, DATE, AND YEAR SETTING
The current time and date displayed on the WEATHER PICTURE
are set using the keyboard of the ULTIMETER Weather Station.
Refer to your Weather Station Owner's Manual for complete
information. The selection of 12-hr or 24-hr clock, however, is
made on the WEATHER PICTURE. See "Numeric Display
Function" section.
The ULTIMETER®Weather Stations feature a perpetual calendar.
For THE WEATHER PICTURE®to operate correctly, you must
adjust the year setting on the Keyboard/Display.
a) Press and release and simultaneously. The
clock and calendar symbols will appear on the screen and the
instrument will briefly display the year setting (default is
2009).
NOTE: Owners of earlier-model ULTIMETER weather
stations (purchased prior to 2003) should refer to their
weather station Owner's Manual for instructions on "Setting
Leap Year Counter"
b) Press and KEEP IT PRESSED until the year setting
begins to change. Then press or as required until
the display shows the current year.
c) Press and release to set time or to set date.
d) Press and hold or as required until the displayed
value is close to correct, then press repeatedly until correct
setting is displayed. Press any data key to return to normal
operation.
NOTE: Adjust the year counter BEFORE you set the date. If
you have already set the date, check it after setting the year.
12

SELECTING SERIAL DATA MODE
The serial data output port on the ULTIMETER weather stations
has two different modes which are used with THE WEATHER
PICTURE. The mode can be selected by pressing and holding a
combination of two keys. The following is a brief description, to
provide an idea of the capabilities of each mode.
DATA LOGGING MODE
In Data Logging Mode, the instrument puts out a steady
stream of records, about one per second. Each record
includes all current readings, including time and date. Key
Combo: Press and hold and for 3 seconds to enter
this mode.
COMPLETE RECORD MODE
In Complete Record Mode, the instrument puts out a steady
stream of records, about twenty per minute. Each record
includes all current values, today's high and low values,
yesterday's high and low values, and long term rain values,
and current time and date.
The ULTIMETER Weather Station must be in Complete
Record Mode for the WEATHER PICTURE to display some
historical weather data (such as Yesterday's High or Low
weather conditions).
If you have selected a function to be displayed on the
WEATHER PICTURE that requires Complete Record Mode, but
are operating the keyboard in Data Logging Mode, the error
code "Err4"will appear in the red numeric display. Change to
Complete Record Mode by the following key combo: Press and
hold and for 3 seconds to enter this mode. (It may
also be necessary to power-down and power-up the WEATHER
PICTURE to reset and clear the error.)
NOTE: It is essential to make the correct Year setting (see
previous section); otherwise, date data from the serial port
may be incorrect.
13

IV. SELECTING NUMERIC DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
The Numeric Displays of the WEATHER PICTURE are individually
set to display one of sixty different weather functions. The desired
function and the measurement units are selected by setting a
series of switches (DIP switch), found beside each Numeric
Display on the front of the WEATHER PICTURE (behind the
nameplate).
To access the DIP switches, follow the procedure for removing the
frame found in the next section, "Changing Numeric Display
Labels."
The DIP switches are numbered as follows (shown all "ON"):
12345678
ON WP
Switches 1-6 are used to select the desired data and
measurement units; switches 7 and 8 are used to select the
format for time and date displayed.
CAUTION: Turn off power (On/Off switch located on bottom edge
of Weather Picture) before adjusting DIP switches. When you first
reapply power, be sure the correct "CHECK VALUE" is displayed
in the Numeric Display.
SETTING DATE FORMAT
1. If you prefer a MM/DD date display, turn switch 7 "ON" ↑.
2. If you prefer a DD/MM date display, turn switch 7 "OFF" ↓.
SET TIME FORMAT
1. If you prefer a 24-hr clock display, turn switch 8 "ON" ↑.
2. If you prefer a 12-hr clock display (a.m. & p.m.) display,
turn switch 8 "OFF" ↓.
SELECTING UNITS (US/Metric)
Units are selected for each weather function individually, by DIP
switch setting. Refer to the list of switch settings to display a
weather function using the desired units (Fahrenheit/Celsius,
Knots/MPH, inHg/mbar, etc.).
14

CHANGING NUMERIC DISPLAY LABELS
A sheet of additional function labels is provided for customizing the data
display of your WEATHER PICTURE. Use scissors to cut the labels (up
to the black edge). Labels are designed to remain in place when
installed, but double-sided tape may be used if desired to keep a
function label in position. To change a label:
1) Place the WEATHER PICTURE face down on a soft flat surface.
Laying a soft towel down first is recommended to help prevent
scratching the nameplate. On Metal Frames: Loosen the 8 screws in
the corner brackets of the frame. On Oak Frames: Loosen the frame
retaining clip screws and rotate the clips to allow removal of the frame.
2) Turn the WEATHER PICTURE face up again. On Metal Frames:
Remove the metal frame from around the WEATHER PICTURE by
pulling the four frame parts away from the WEATHER PICTURE
housing. On Oak Frames: Lift frame up from the housing.
3) Carefully lift the nameplate out and set it aside.
4) Replace Display Function Labels as desired, using double-sided
tape to retain them if necessary.
5) Carefully replace nameplate in the slight recess of the housing
front.
6) Metal Frames Only: Install corner brackets in the two short frame
parts. Replace the long frame parts on their respective sides of the
housing. Then replace the short parts (with corner brackets).
7) Once again, place the WEATHER PICTURE face down on a soft
flat surface. On Metal Frames: Tighten the corner bracket screws.
On Oak Frames: Rotate the frame retaining clips and gently tighten
the screws. Do not overtighten.

V. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Care of Nameplate
The large nameplate on the front side of the WEATHER PICTURE
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth only. Use no harsh or
abrasive cleaners, as these will permanently scratch the surface
of the nameplate. Do not spray any liquids or cleaners directly on
the nameplate.
In Case of Non-Responsive WEATHER PICTURE
Sometimes an electrical storm or line power surge can cause the
weather station keyboard or WEATHER PICTURE to be disabled.
To correct this condition, press the On/Off switch to power down
and power up again, or unplug the WEATHER PICTURE's power
cord from its AC adapter, and re-plug to power up again. If this
does not correct the problem, unplug the junction box cable from
the back of the weather station keyboard display and remove the
9-volt battery (however, be advised that all memories and initial
settings will be lost). Install the battery again and reconnect the
junction box cable.
Error Codes
