3.1 Battery installation:
Note
:
To avoid operating problems, please take note of the battery polarity before/when inserting any
Alkaline batteries (permanent damage could be introduced by inserting the batteries in the wrong
direction). Use good quality Alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
Note: Where low outdoor temperatures are experienced we recommend the use of Lithium batteries
in the outdoor sensor as the performance of Alkaline batteries can be reduced.
1) Pull away the shower proof casing of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the two sockets (for the wind
sensor and rain sensor).
2) Connect the cables from the wind and rain sensors to the corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro
sensor by clicking them into place. Make sure that the rain and wind sockets are in their correct sockets.
3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located below the two sockets and insert 2 x LR6
(AA), 1.5V Alkaline batteries and close the cover.
4) Open the base station
’s battery cover located at the back of the unit and insert 3 x LR6 (AA), 1.5V
Alkaline batteries into the battery compartment and close the battery cover.
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), the LED
indicator will light up for 4 seconds (if the LED does not light up or stays on, make sure the batteries are
inserted the correct way round and a proper reset has occurred). The transmitter will make an initial data
transmission and then start the radio controlled time reception routine. If the time signal can be detected
correctly the LED will flash 5 times and then remain on for 20s, indicating the time signal has been found
correctly
(note no time signal is available in Aus/NZ)
. When reception of the time signal is not possible
the transmitter will terminate radio controlled time reception after no more than five minutes and resume
normal transmission. During the radio controlled time reception period there is no transmission of the
outdoor weather data to the console.
When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all the LCD segments will light up for about
3 seconds before the station enters its learning mode to learn the sensor
’s security code.
DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY during the first 10 minute learning period or before radio controlled time is
displayed on the receiver. After both outdoor weather data and radio controlled time are displayed you can
place your remote sensor outdoors and set your time (if no RCC reception is possible).
If there is no temperature reading in the indoor station, make sure the units are within range of each other or
repeat the battery installation procedure. If a key is pressed before the weather station receives the
