INSTALLATION, SETTINGS
Quick start
1.
After unpacking the product, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. Do not install damaged
products.
2.
First, insert 3 x 1.5 V AA batteries into the weather station then 2 x 1.5 V AAA batteries into the outdoor transmitter,
observing the polarity markings. By pressing the SNOOZE/LIGHT (9) button, you can turn on the backlight of the
display for 5 seconds.
The weather station will then automatically search for and register the outdoor transmitter for 3 minutes. The signal
reception icon will flash in the meantime. On successful reception, the outdoor temperature and humidity will display.
If no signal is received, try to manually pair the outdoor transmitter.
Then the setting will continue with the automatic reception of the DCF77 clock signal. The DCF77 signal (8) will flash
on the display. Meanwhile, position the weather station so that it receives a clear DCF77 signal. This is indicated by
the full DCF77 symbol flashing. A stronger signal can be received in a westward facing window, far from TV sets or
monitors, and at night when interference is at a minimum.
Setup takes 3-8 minutes and
after
successful setup, the DCF77 symbol will display. This completes setup of the time
and date.
If no signal can be received, try
tuning manually
the DCF77 clock signal, or setting the time, date manually.
Location
The weather station and the outdoor transmitter can be either wall-mounted or placed on a horizontal surface by
opening the stand. To ensure accurate measurement, select a dry and shaded location for the outdoor transmitter.
Even though it is resistant to splashing water, it must not be exposed to constantly high humidity.
Preferably move the units away from other electromagnetic signal sources that may cause electrical interference.
Please note that the transmitter's range is 60 m in the open range, which of course is reduced by building walls,
reinforced concrete structures and other radio-frequency interference sources.
Manual pairing of outdoor transmitters
The default channel used by the outdoor transmitter is channel 1. If you want to use additional outdoor transmitters
(max. 3) with the weather station, they must be set to unique channels.
Setting channels other than Channel 1: after
inserting the battery, select channel 1, 2 or 3 by pressing the CH button on the outdoor transmitter. The outdoor
transmitter's LCD display will accordingly show CH 1, CH 2 or CH 3. Afterwards, keep the CH button pressed on the
weather station until a short beep is heard. Then the weather station will search and register any new outdoor
transmitters again while the signal icon will continuously blink.
In case of
successful reception, the outdoor
temperature and humidity will display alongside the channel number.
If no signal is received, check the batteries in both the weather station and the outdoor transmitter.
Manual reception of DCF77 clock signal
DCF77 is a long-wave (77.5 kHz) atomic clock synchronization signal transmitter in Mainflingen, Germany, 25 km SE
from central Frankfurt. The atomic clock is accurate to 1 second per one million years. The signal can be received
inside a radius of 2000 km, thus throughout Europe. It is used to automatically adjust the exact time and date, the day
of the week as well as the daylight savings time.
The weather station automatically updates itself using the DCF77 clock signal at 3:00 AM every day. If necessary, this
procedure can be performed anytime manually. In order to do so, keep the C/F button pressed for approx. 3 seconds.
The unit will emit a short beep and the DCF77 symbol (8) will flash. Meanwhile, position the weather station so that it
receives a clear DCF77 signal. This is indicated by the full DCF77 symbol flashing. If you want to interrupt the
reception, then keep pressed the C/F button.
If synchronization fails even on completing the set-up procedure, manual adjustment of the time and date is possible.
Manual set-up of time, zone time, date, snooze time, air pressure measure
When the exact time is displayed, press and hold the SET button for approx. 3 seconds.
The adjustable values will
begin to blink in the following sequence which can be toggled using the SET button:
zone time offset (-1 h - +1 h); 24 or 12-hour time display; hour; mintute; year (Yr); month (M); day (D); month/day
sequence; snooze period (SN) for 5 – 60 minutes; air pressure's measure (hPa, inHg). The values can be adjusted
by using the ▲ or ▼ buttons. Afternoon hours are indicated by PM if 12-hour time display is selected.
A successful reception of the DCF77 signal will overwrite the manual setting (time and date)
Setting the alarm
You can select one (A1) or the other (A2) alarm time by a short press of AL SET button. Meanwhile displaying the
alarm time, keep the AL SET button pressed for 3 seconds. Firstly the hour, the the minute can be set with ▲ or ▼
buttons.
The alarm can be activated or turned off by pressing shortly AL 1-2 button. The active alarm icon (2) appears during
displaying the accurate time.
FUNCTIONS
Alarm
The unit will sound an alarm by beeping at the active alarm time. If you do not wish to get up immediately, press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT button during the alarm. This will temporarily pause the alarm, the alarm icon (2) will blink on the
display then the unit will repeat the alarm after the set snooze time (5-60 minutes). To end the exact alarm, press any
button.
Weather forecast
The unit indicates the forecast weather using 5 different icons: Sunny / partly cloudy / cloudy / rainy / stormy. The icon
does not indicate the actual weather but a 12- to 24-hour weather forecast. The forecast accuracy is 70%.
Outside temperature and humidity
On the weather station
Pressing the CH button will select temperature or relative humidity display from among transmitters 1, 2 or 3.
On the outdoor transmitter
The temperature, relative humidity (RH) and exact channel will
be displayed
on the LCD display of the outdoor
transmitter. The °C/°F button under the battery compartment lid is used to switch between °C and °F temperature
display. This setting has no effect on the outdoor temperature unit displayed on the weather station.
Temperature units
Briefly pressing the C/F button on the weather station toggles display in Celsius degree (°C) or Fahrenheit degree
(°F) units.
Measured value extremes
It is possible to display the maximum and minimum measured values for both the outdoor and indoor temperature
and relative humidity. Press the MEM button once for the highest (MAX), and once more for the lowest (MIN) values.
The extreme values can be cleared by keeping the MEM button pressed for 3 seconds.
The extremes are stored by the unit from the time it is set up or from the time the last extreme is cleared.
Exact time, alarm
Briefly pressing the SET button will toggle the exact time and alarm time display. The unit will return to time display 15
seconds later. The alarm can be activated by briefly pressing the AL 1-2 button, alarm clock icons (2) appearing
confirm this.
Daylight saving time is indicated by the abbreviation DST above the exact time.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING
,
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
1.
A slightly dampened cloth can be used to clean the equipment. Aggressive detergents can mar the units' surface.
2.
Do not allow water to enter the weather station.
3.
When not planning to use the units for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery in the weather station if the display starts fading. If a battery status icon corresponding to the
exact outdoor transmitter appears (on the weather station's or the outdoor transmitter's display), the battery should be
replaced in that transmitter. If the batteries have leaked electrolyte, wear protective gloves and goggles and clean the
battery compartment with a dry cloth. Insert the new batteries observing the polarity.
Important!
The outdoor transmitters must be paired again with the weather station after battery replacement.
