been no change, this is shown by a horizontal arrow.

External sensor
A cable connection is not needed to transmit the signal from the external
sensor to the base station. The external sensor transmits on a frequency
of 433 MHz. The transmission range from the external sensor to the base
station can be up to 40m in optimum conditions in the open.
Transmission between the external sensor and the base station can be
impaired by objects such as stonework, reinforced concrete, metal
windows and fog or by placing the external sensor and base station on
the floor, etc.
5.5.6.a
External sensor display
After inserting the batteries in the external sensor (see point 4, Putting
the device into operation), the external temperature and external
humidity is shown on the external sensor’s display.
5.5.6.b
Selecting °Celsius / °Fahrenheit
To re-set the temperature display on the external sensor, press the C/F
key on the back of the external sensor. (Please remove the battery
compartment cover first as described in point 7.2.2 Changing the
battery). Each time the key is pressed the display will change to °C or °F.
5.5.6.c
Registering a second or third external
sensor
Additional external sensors are not included. Please contact our service
address or our webshop
(
http://www.produktservice.info/shop/) if you
would like to buy additional external sensors.
Carry out the registration of the additional external sensors on a table
where you can lay the base station and the external sensor(s) next to each
other or stand them up. First set the channel selector on the back of the
external sensor (remove battery compartment cover) to the required
channel on which the external temperature and external humidity of this
external sensor should be displayed on the base station (the first external
sensor will normally be displayed on channel 1, therefore select channel
2 or 3 for additional sensors).
Then insert the batteries in the external sensor as described in point
7.2.2, Changing the battery. The selected channel number will be shown
at the upper left of the external sensor’s display. The signal will transmit
shown by the flashing of the red indicator on the front of the external
sensor. If the selected channel number does not appear at the top left of
the external sensor’s display, you can press the TX key to speed up the
transmission of the signal. If registration is not possible, please refer to
point 9, Troubleshooting.
5.5.6.d
Changing the channel display on the base
station manually and automatically
When you have registered 2 or 3 external sensors, press the CHANNEL
key to change from one channel to the next. If a rounded arrow is shown
on the display the channels will be displayed automatically one after the
other.
Changing the channel display automatically
Tip:
If for structural or other reasons it is not possible to attach the external
sensor to the windowsill or the house wall, you can use a sensor
extension cable which will be connected to the external sensor’s
connector. Place the external sensor on the windowsill in the living room
for example and feed the sensor extension cable a few centimetres
outside under the window. The temperature can be measured using the
sensor extension cable. This sensor extension cable is however not
included in this delivery. Please contact our service address or our
webshop
(
http://www.produktservice.info/shop/) if you would like to
buy a sensor extension cable.

Atmospheric pressure
5.6.1
Atmospheric pressure display
Atmospheric pressure display
After inserting the batteries, the base station will begin by displaying
atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa (factory setting).
The atmospheric pressure will be measured hourly starting from the
point that the batteries are inserted in the base station or from when the
atmospheric pressure value is set manually.
Tip:
To obtain a useful weather forecast you must input the current
atmospheric pressure value for your region (see next point 5.6.1a,
Inputting the atmospheric pressure value. You can obtain the current
atmospheric pressure value from the weather pages on video text or the
weather sites on the Internet, eg.: www.meteo24.de or www.wetter.com.
5.6.1.a
Setting the atmospheric pressure value
Press and hold the CLEAR/SET BARO key until the atmospheric
pressure display begins to flash. You can alter the atmospheric pressure
from 850 to 1050 hPa using the B

or B

key. Press the CLEAR/SET
BARO key quickly to confirm your setting. The base station will now
show the current atmospheric pressure in hPa.
5.6.1.b
Atmospheric pressure diagram
- Atmospheric pressure diagram
The atmospheric pressure graphic shows the development of the
atmospheric pressure over the past 12 hours in 5 stages, i.e. the
respective settings for 0 hours ago, 1 hour ago, 3 hours ago, 6 hours ago
and 12 hours ago. The column value is given for each of the 5 stages as a
diagram which reflects the trend over the stored period of time. A scale
on the right-hand side compares the results. The ‘0” in the middle of the
scale indicates the current atmospheric pressure, each change is shown in
hPa (+/- 2, 4, 6 and 8 hPa), how high or low the pressure was earlier in
comparison to the current pressure, which is shown in the right-hand
column. One bar equals 2 hPa.
Tip:
Please note that the atmospheric pressure diagram is always re-
configured from left to right (flashes)!
5.6.1.c
Atmospheric pressure min./max memory
To read off the maximum and minimum values of atmospheric pressure,
press the MIN/MAX key once to read off the maximum value and once
again to read off the minimum value and once again to return to the
normal display. The minimum and maximum atmospheric pressure value
cannot be deleted as it is a recording of the minimum and maximum
values over the past 12 hours.
5.6.2
Weather forecast
The weather forecast is an approximate statement which is calculated for
the next 12-24 hours over a radius of approximately 30-50 km. The
weather forecast is based on the fluctuations of the atmospheric pressure
and agrees with the actual weather with a probability of approximately
70-75%. As it is not possible to predict the weather with 100% accuracy,
we do not accept any liability for damage which may occur as a result of
an incorrect weather forecast. The weather is forecast using the
following symbols:
Sunny
Light cloud
Cloudy
Rain
Snow
If the measured temperature on an external sensor is b1°C and -
1°C, the snowflake symbol and an exclamation mark will flash to warn
of frost. A snowflake symbol and an exclamation mark are displayed
constantly if the measured temperature on an external sensor falls below
-1°C.
Bad weather / storm warning
If the weather forecasting symbols flash, this is an indication of pending
bad weather or a storm front, together with falling atmospheric pressure.
It is a pre-requisite that the relative atmospheric pressure is set correctly
for your region. If the atmospheric pressure rises again, the weather
forecast remains constant. At the top left of the display, the weather
tendency is shown and is updated every hour. If the atmospheric pressure
changes by more than 1 hPa within an hour, this will be indicated by an
arrow which points upwards or downwards. If there has been no change,
this is shown by a horizontal arrow.
horizontal arrow = constant atmospheric pressure
arrow pointing upwards = rising atmospheric pressure
arrow pointing downwards = falling atmospheric pressure
Tip:
After setting the basics, it takes approximately 12 to 24 hours before you
receive a useful weather forecast.
