However, ensure that you leave 10 seconds in between the reception of the
last transmitter and the set-up of the following transmitter. The Weather
Station will number the transmitters in the order of set-up, i.e. the first
transmitter will have the temperature displayed with the number 1 against it
and so on.
5.
When all the transmitters are set up, there is a testing period, during which
the display switches quickly between all the received transmitters at random,
according to which random transmission it receives. Pressing any key will
stop this process and the display will show the temperature for the first
transmitter. The process also stops automatically if no keys are pressed for a
few minutes.
6.
Once the remote temperature has been received and is displayed on the
Weather Station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started.
This takes typically between 3 - 5 minutes in good conditions. This time
period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable
location(s) outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission
however, this should under good conditions be no more than 20 - 25 metres
from where the Weather Station will be finally positioned (see notes on
“
Positioning
” and “
433 MHz Reception
”).
7.
If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET key to
manually enter a time initially. The clock will automatically attempt each hour
to receive the DCF time. When this is successful, the received time will
override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received
time (Please refer also to notes on “
Radio controlled time
” and “
Manual
time setting
”).
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER
STATION
The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V
batteries. When batteries need to be replaced, the
battery symbol will appear on the LCD. To install
and replace the batteries, please follow the steps
below:
1.
Insert finger or other solid object in the space
at the bottom center of the battery
compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
2.
Insert batteries observing the correct polarity
(see marking).
3.
Replace compartment cover.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC, LR3, 1.5V
batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the
steps below:
1.
Unscrew the screw on the front of the compartment and
remove the cover.
2.
Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see
marking).
3.
Replace the battery cover on the unit and seal by re-
screwing.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by
following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is
assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored
by the Weather Station in the first three minutes of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure
optimum accuracy of these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return
used batteries to an authorised depot.
