6. Getting started
•
Place the basic station and the transmitter on a desk with a distance of approxi-
mately 1.5 meter. Avoid getting close to possible interference sources (Electronic
devices and radio installations).
•
Insert the adapter into the jack integrated in the sensor cable of the basic station.
Connect the power adapter to a wall socket. Important: Make sure that your
household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your weather station may be damaged.
•
When the basic station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD seg-
ments will light up for about 2 seconds before it enters into learning mode to
learn the transmitter security code.
•
Pull down and take away the holder of the weather station and insert 2 x AAA
1,5 V batteries into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity.
•
The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure.
•
Open the battery compartment of the transmitter by pushing inwards the two
latches at the bottom and insert 2 x AA 1,5 V batteries, observing the correct
polarity.
•
The LED indicator of the transmitter is blinking and the transmitter is set to
channel 1 by default.
•
After the sensor is powered up, it will first transmit the temperature and then the
sensor will start radio controlled time reception. During the DCF time reception
period (maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted.
•
After the reception of the radio controlled time the DCF signal appears perma-
nently on the display of the weather station.
•
Note: DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY during the first 10 minutes learning period or be-
fore radio controlled time is displayed on the receiver. After both outdoor values
and radio controlled time are displayed you can place your remote sensor out-
doors at the final destination. In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for
example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set man-
ually. If the outdoor weather data is not displayed or if any key is pressed before
the weather station receives the signal, or when changing the transmitter batter-
ies you will need to follow the installation procedure again. Please wait minimum
10 seconds to make a proper reset for both transmitter and receiver.
Note for radio-controlled time DCF:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting
range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is
automatic. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location.
Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around
Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
•
The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or
TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
•
Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to
improve the reception.

•
During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception
is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy
deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
•
The instrument will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed with-
in 10 seconds.
7.1 Manual setting of the clock
•
Press and hold the "MENU/SETUP" button for 2 seconds to enter setting mode.
The hour indicator is flashing and with the "▲" or "▼" button adjust the setting.
Holding the "▲" or "▼"" button, you will enter fast mode. Confirm with the
"MENU/SETUP" button.
•
Set minutes in the same way. Confirm with the "MENU/SETUP" button.
•
"On" appears on the display. The DCF time is activated. If DCF reception is on, the
manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received
successfully.
•
To turn off the DCF time, press the "▲" or "▼" button. "Off" appears on the dis-
play. Confirm with the "MENU/SETUP" button.
7.2 Setting of the alarm
•
Press the " " button to select alarm time. The alarm time appears on the LCD for
10 seconds.
•
To activate or deactivate the alarm function press the " " button again.
•
The alarm icon is shown on the display of the station as soon as the alarm is acti-
vated.
•
Press the " " button for 2 seconds to enter alarm time setting. The hour indicator
is flashing and with the "▲" or "▼" button adjust the setting. Holding the "▲" or
"▼" button, you will enter fast mode. Press the " " button to confirm it.
•
Set minutes in the same way. Press the " " button to confirm it.
•
The alarm time appears on the display (max. 10 sec.).
•
When alarm is sounding, press any button to stop the alarm.
•
When alarm is sounding, wave hand within max. 15 cm distance to activate snooze
function. The alarm symbol is flashing and the alarm will be interrupted for
5 minutes.
•
Press any button to stop the snooze function.
8. Weather forecast
•
There are 5 different weather symbols (sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rain and
storm) and 3 different symbols for the trend of atmospheric pressure (increasing,
steady, decreasing).
9. Maximum/Minimum function
•
Press the "MAX/MIN" button to show the maximum
door temperature.
•
Press the "MAX/MIN" button again to show minimum
•
Press the "MAX/MIN" button for 2 seconds to clear the recorded maximum and
minimum reading.
10. Positioning of basic station and the transmitter
•
Choose a shady and dry position for the transmitter. (Direct sunshine falsifies the
measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly)
•
Place the basic station in the living room with the additional table stand. With the
suspensions device you can fix it on a wall. Avoid the vicinity of any interfering
field like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
