1. INTRODUCTION

Instruments by Jörg Kachelmann

Jörg Kachelmann, meteorologist and founder of Meteomedia AG, 
revolutionised weather reports in the early 90ies with a new type of media 
presentation and the high quality of his local weather forecasts.

Today Meteomedia is one of the leading weather services in Europe and, 
with its own Severe Weather Centres in Switzerland and in Germany, 
among other things, specialist for modern early warning systems for 
extreme weather conditions.

The core of the company is the private weather measurement network. It 
is one of the biggest measurement networks in Europe.

With "Instruments by Jörg Kachelmann" Irox, market leader in the 
manufacturing of measuring devices, and Jörg Kachelmann have 
developed a joint product that convinces with its high quality 
measurements, simple handling and elegant design.

Weather forecasts by Jörg Kachelmann: www .meteocentrale.ch

The JKTG-2M is a high-quality thermo/hygrometer that gives you the 
absolutely unique feature of choosing between three different max/min 
memory functions.

Please read the instructions carefully. They contain some useful and 
interesting information that go beyond a mere explanation of how to 
operate the device.           

2. OPERATING ELEMENTS

2.1 LCD DISPLAY

All functions are depicted on the liquid crystal display (LCD) in 3 windows. 

Full-segment display

 

Comfort Zone: 
- display of the comfort status of the measurement of the 
  thermo/hygrometer

Thermo/hygro     : 
- temperature and relative air humidity of the display device (measures at 
  the location where the device is used) 
- memory values min/max of the thermo/hygrometer
- battery status of the display device        

2.2 KEYS / SWITCH / BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Rear view

°C/°F

Changes the unit of temperature in the display from °C to °F or vice versa

MEMORY RESET

Hold pressed for 3 seconds: Resets all memories. The new recording 

  now begins depending on the setting of the MIN-MAX switch

MIN-MAX

The MIN/MAX memory is managed and recorded depending on the setting. 
Pos. 1: 

PERM - 

From the last MEMORY RESET, the MIN/MAX recordings 

            after the function “drag indicator” are recorded. This recording is 
            "PERMANENT", i.e. a new recording does not start until after a 
            new MEMORY reset.

Pos. 2: 

24 Hr - 

If you choose this option, the MIN/MAX values for the last 

            24-28 hours in each case are recorded. After expiry of this period, 
            the MIN/MAX values that are older than 24-28 hours are removed 
            from the memory. As soon as you have selected this option, we 
            recommend that you start the memory recording in a defined way 
            with a MEMORY RESET. This then starts a recording that triggers 
            internally an elaborate calculation and recording. The MIN/MAX 
            values are administered here in blocks of four hours.
            Example: You want to be able to read the MIN/MAX values of the 
            last 24-28 hours at all times. Irrespective of when you look at the 
            display, you will always see the extreme values of the last 24-28 
            hours. Older recordings are deleted in the process. 

Pos. 3: 

DAY- 

If you select this option, the MIN/MAX values are recorded 

            for 24 hours in each case. You are free to choose when the 
            recording should begin. The start is determined by a MEMORY 
            RESET and after 24 hours, the memory is automatically reset and 
            a new recording begins. Example: You want to be able to read the 
            MIN/MAX values of the last 24 hours in each case at 8 p.m. You 
            therefore carry out a MEMORY RESET at 8 p.m. With this RESET, 
            the clock begins to tick internally and this automatically resets the 
            memory after 24 hours and starts a new recording.                   

 

 

 

   

Battery compartment

2 x 1.5 batteries of the size AM-4 resp. “AAA”
To open: slide lid in the direction of the arrow (indicated on the lid) after 
the stand has been removed.  

3. PUTTING INTO OPERATION

1. Open the battery compartment of the display device and remove all 
    insulation strips. If no batteries are in the device, insert the 2 batteries 
    (AM-4 or ‘AAA’ 1.5 V) in the 

correct polarity.

2. Now close the battery compartment.

3. Directly after the activation of the batteries, all segments are displayed 
    for a few seconds on the display. 

4. OPERATION

The JKTG-2M measures the temperature and relative air humidity directly. 
The temperature currently measured is displayed in the information 
windows in °C (or °F) and, for the location of the display device, the 
relative air humidity in % and the Comfort Zone.

The following operations can be made in this function:  

4.1 THERMO/HYGROMETER

4.1.1 MIN/MAX memory

a) The MIN/MAX values are always present on the display below the 
    current measurement value.
     - LEFT:    Minimal (=lowest) temperature "MIN"
     - RIGHT: Maximum (=highest) temperature "MAX"

The logic of the recordings is displayed in Section 

2.2 Operating 

elements.

  

4.1.2 Comfort Zone

The Comfort Zone is displayed for the thermo/hygro measurement of the 
display device. 
The logic is depicted in the following illustration:  

 

5. CHANGE OF BATTERY

: BATTERY CHANGE DISPLAY

The batteries last for around 8-12 months. Depending on the usage of the 
appliance and the batteries used, this time can be slightly shorter or longer. 
In order to avoid a surprising and unpleasant interruption to operations, the 
battery symbol appears in the temperature window. This means that 
batteries of the display appliance are becoming too weak and need to be 
replaced.

To change the batteries, please note Chapter 3 (Putting into operation).

Please only use new batteries and never mix old and new batteries.

Please also remember that used batteries should not be thrown in the 
household rubbish bin but handed in at the designated collection points. 
The environment will thank you for it!
