• Touch "+" or "-" to set the interval time (OFF = data logger deactivated, 5 minutes to 60 minutes). Below you will
find some examples of how the interval time and the recording time relate:

"ALTITUDE": Setting the altitude
The altitude is needed for calculating the relative air pressure related to sea level compared to the absolute air
pressure at your location. This relative value is an important reference quantity to be able to correctly interpret
weather forecasts referring to the relative air pressure.
• Select the "SYSTEM" menu and here (via "BEEP", "DCF", "DST" and "INTERVAL") the option "ALTITUDE":
ALTITUDE ENTER

• Touch "ENTER" and you will see:
ALTITUDE + 0000 -
ALTITUDE + 0000 -
ALTITUDE + 0000 -
ALTITUDE + 0000 -
ALTITUDE + 0000 -
• Touch "+" or "-" to set the geographic altitude of your location above sea level in meters.
• Wait a few seconds and the corrected data for the relative air pressure are displayed. The value can also be
entered via the supplied software.

"RAIN CAL": Entering the calibration value for the rain collector
The rain measuring gauge is extremely accurate upon delivery; therefore it is normally not necessary to calibrate it.
The calibration value must first be determined during normal mode as described in the chapter “Calibration of the
rain collector”.
• Select the "SYSTEM" menu and here (via "BEEP", "DCF", "DST", "INTERVAL" and "ALTITUDE") the option
"RAIN CAL":
RAIN CAL ENTER

• Touch "+" or "-" to set the previously calculated value.
• Wait a few seconds until the station returns to the normal display. The value can also be entered via the supplied
software.
