- Follow the instructions: Learning a transmitter (channel) to set up the channels you wish to use (say 3)
- Follow the instructions: Setting the number of transmitters to be saved into the system memory.
Once this has been done, put the batteries in the second remote sensor and notice that a symbol of concentric arcs of a circle appears again - showing that the sensor is communicating with the logger. At the same time, the logger number [2] will be displayed on the main screen. Mark the logger [2]
Once this has settled down, repeat this for the third remote sensor, noting the communication symbol and the logger number [3]. Mark the logger [3]
The unit will then be receiving signals from each of the remotes. -

There are a few possibilities when you experience no connection or no download.
The station is a serial data logger so it need to connect to correct serial port. On conventional PCs this is the 9 pin D connector. Serial is always the preferable connection as it is hardware controlled and not a software device such as USB. However today most consumer PCs and all lap tops come without a serial connection.
If they are using a USB to serial adapter then they need to have installed the drivers that came with the adapter. This will create a VCP (virtual com port) and again they need to know the port number it creates. The driver software will usually tell them this otherwise they can find it from their Windows Device Manager > Ports.
Once they do this communication should be OK.
Very occasionally we hear reports that the station stops receiving data. This is usually because something has affected the data logger, possibly an electrical

Here is a link for the manufacturers "HeavyWeather" software for the WS2800;

At the time of writting the station does not work directly with WeatherDisplay. It can be used by setting WeatherDisplay to "piggy back" on the HeavyWeather data files.
