STARTING UP
After inserting the batteries, the main unit will connect with the radio
transmitter (2) by RF signal. The RF signal (23) symbol at the out area
will flash.
This process takes about 3 minutes. Then the display shows the
outdoor temperature /humidity/wind speed/wind direction/rainfall, in
case of failure of reception, pls press“ALARM“ for more than 3 seconds
to receive again.
The automatic receiving of the DCF radio signal (DCF77, Time signal
frequency 77,5 kHz) begins after 3 minutes of outdoor RF reception.
This DCF reception process is going on,the flashing symbol “radio
tower“ (15) appears in the time display area at the same time.
Once radio signal receiving is successful, the display shows the symbol
“radio tower“ (15) continuously. No flashing. One synchronisation per
day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second.
Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference
such as televisions or computer screens.
INSTALLATION
NOTE! Before fitting the external sensors, the radio link between
WSRC 2257 and the transmitter (e) must be established.
First fit the batteries into the WSRC 2257, and thereafter (within 3
minutes) into the radio transmitter.
When the data transmission between WSRC 2257 and the radio
transmitter (e) is established, install the outdoor sensors as shown in
the drawing above.
ATTENTION: The wind direction sensor must be aligned at the final
assembly after the compass mark (h).
Connect the data cable from the Wind speed sensor (b) to the socket in
the wind direction sensor (c)
Now connect the data cable of the wind direction sensor (c) and the
rain sensor to the corresponding jacks (f) in the radio transmitter (e)
Slide the shower proof casing (d) in the guide over the radio transmitter (e)
For accurate results, the outdoor sensor mast should be securely
mounted onto a horizontal surface and in an open area away from trees
and other coverings where rainfall or wind speed may be reduced
causing inaccurate reading.
