17. Accessories: adding cable extensions
For your convenience, additional telephone cables to increase the
connection distance between each of the units may be purchased
from any reputable hardware store. Simply add these to the current
cables to extend your cable connection distance.
When securing the cables during mounting, ensure that base station
can receive the weather data since increasing the cables lengths may
also increase levels of interference and result with reception difficul-
ties. Interference levels will greatly depend on the surrounding area
for example setting up on or near metal piping may considerably
reduce reception.
For best results, do not to add more than 10 meters of extension
cable from item to item onto the existing cable lengths as this may
reduce reception levels. Again, reception and interference levels will
greatly depend on the surrounding environment at your point of
mounting.
Note:
It is important to keep all the connected extension heads away from
rain, moisture and other extreme weather conditions as exposure can
cause short circuits and damage to this item.
18. Changing batteries:
Battery change only in the thermo-hygro-sensor:
1. Open the battery cover
2. Remove the old batteries and insert with new ones of the rec-
ommended type and replace the cover
Once the sensor is powered up, press and hold the PLUS(+) key for
approx. 2 seconds in the normal display mode, the base station will
sound a short beep and synchronize to the sensor otherwise no
weather data will be received.
Battery change only in the base station:
1. Connect power adaptor to base station and power outlet.
2. Open the battery cover located at the back of the base station.
3. Remove the old batteries, insert with new ones of the recom-
mended type and replace the cover
This method of battery replacement will result in no loss of MIN/MAX
and history data. However in case of possible power failure, the base
station will lose the MIX/MAX and all weather data recordings and will
need to be synchronized to the sensors again by pressing the
PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds.
Note:
When batteries require replacement for the base station, the low
battery indicator will light up on the LCD.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment
by properly disposing of all used-up batteries and accu-
mulators at designated disposal points. Never dispose of
batteries in a fire as this may cause explosion, risk of fire
or leakage of dangerous chemicals and fumes
