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). 
 

The display and control possibilities of the WS-2510 at a glance: 

 

Display of the indoor temperature (in °F or °C) and humidity 

Can be switched over to display the dew point indoors 

Storage of the minimum and maximum temperature with the time/date of occurrence 

Storage of the minimum and maximum humidity with the time/date of occurrence 

Alarms can be set for high temperature, low temperature, high humidity and low humidity 

Comfort zone indicator 

Graphical history display for the last 24 h or 8 days (user selectable) 

 

Display of one of 8 (max.) outdoor sensors (temperature in 

º

F or 

º

C and humidity) 

Can be switched over to display the dew point or the wind chill temperature 

Storage of the minimum and maximum temperature with the time/date of occurrence 

Storage of the minimum and maximum humidity with the time/date of occurrence 

Alarms can be set for high temperature, low temperature, high humidity and low humidity 

Comfort zone indicator 

Graphical history display for the last 24 h or 8 days (user selectable) 

 

Display of wind speed with wind direction and variation 

Wind speed units: km/h, m/s, mph, knots or Beaufort. 

Storage of the maximum wind strength with direction and time/date of occurrence 

An alarm value can be set for high wind speed 

Graphical history display for the last 24 h or 8 days (user selectable) 

 

Display of the amount of rainfall in mm, l/m

2

 or inches 

Can be switched between total rainfall /current hour /last hour /current day /last day 

Storage of the maximum amount per hour and per day 

Graphical history display for the last 24 h or 8 days (user selectable) 

 

Display of the air pressure in hPa, mmHg or inHg 

Can be switched between absolute or relative (higher level of correction) air pressure 

Storage of the minimum and maximum air pressure with the time/date of occurrence 

An alarm value can be set for high air pressure and low air pressure 

Graphical history display for the last 24 h or 8 days (user selectable) 

 

Symbolic indication of the weather forecast: rainy, cloudy, bright or sunny

 

 

Display of hours of sunshine 

Can be switched between total hours of sunshine, last day or current day 

The threshold for detecting sunshine is adjustable 

Storage of the minimum and maximum hours per day with the time/date of occurrence 

Graphical history display for the last 8 days
