Setting up using batteries:
Important:
To avoid operating problems, please take note of bat-
tery polarity if inserting any batteries
1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the
three sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor and the base sta-
tion)
2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to the
corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking
them into place
3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located below
the three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries and
close the cover
4) Open the base station’s battery cover located at the back of the
unit and insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the battery
compartment and close the battery cover
Setting up using the AC adaptor:
Thermo-Hygro Sensor
1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using batter-
ies above
2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and
power up the base station by inserting the adaptor jack into the
6.0V DC socket located on the side of the base station
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after
a change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and this
code must be synchronized with the base station to receive weather
data.
When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all
LCD segments will light up for about 5 seconds before it enters into a
15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors security code. After the
learning mode (or by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base
station will start the DCF77 radio controlled time reception.
Note for DCF77 Radio Controlled Time:
The time and date display is based on the signal provided by a highly
accurate Caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Tech-
nische Bundesamt in Braunschweig (Germany). This radio-controlled
clock does not only provide for the weather station’s time and date
display but also functions as the time source for all of this weather
station’s memory and history values using time and date information.
LCD backlight:
When using the power adaptor, the LCD backlight is switched on
continuously. Under battery operation, the LCD backlight is switched
on for 15 seconds intervals when any key is pressed.

Cable Connection:
Using this method of operation will provide interference free transfer
of the weather data from the sensors to the base station. The data
sending interval from the sensors to the base station will also be more
frequent compared to using 433MHz transmission and will result in
higher power consumption. Therefore batteries will have a shorter life
span for cable connection compared to using 433MHz.
