Home Weather Station
Battery Installation Continued:
Now power the display console by inserting 3 x AA batteries into the battery
compartment at the back of the unit. When the console initially starts up, all
segments of the display will illuminate briefly to ensure the screen is functioning
correctly.
Following this, the weather station will make an initial measurement and begin
receiving the outdoor readings. Do not press any keys before the outdoor data is
received, as this will stop the console from searching for the outdoor sensor suite
and the connection will not be established. After the outdoor readings have been
registered, the console will enter the normal display mode and all functions will
be available. Every time there is a transmission of data between the sensor suite
and the display console, the LED next to the battery compartment will flash.
The display console will then begin searching for the Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)
signal in order to automatically set the time and date. Once this signal has been
received, the time will automatically adjust and the RCC tower icon will be
displayed on the console. If no signal is detected during the initial setup phase, or
if the signal is lost for over 12 hours, the transmitter will attempt to receive this
signal at 2-hour intervals until it is picked up. The best time to receive the RCC
signal is during the night – normally between 0:00 and 4:00 when there is
significantly less atmospheric interference.
Please note: If you change the batteries in the outdoor transmitter unit, the display
console will take around three hours to receive the outdoor signal again. If you’d
like to speed this synchronization process up, you can re-insert the batteries into
the display console again so that the new identification code is learned straight
away,
but any stored weather data and alarm settings will be lost
.
The ClimeMET CM2026 has a transmission range of 100 metres in an open field -
please remember that any obstacles such as buildings or trees will reduce this
range. Nearby electronics such as computers, radios and televisions can also
interfere with the radio signal used by the station, so please keep this in mind if
you encounter any problems and re-locate the system accordingly.
