CHECKING FOR 868MHz RECEPTION
If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within three minutes
after setting up (or outdoor display always show “- -. -” in the outdoor section of the Weather
station during normal operation), please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Weather station or transmitters should be at least 2 meters away
from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window
frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the
868MHz-signal frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 868MHz-signal frequency can also
cause interference.
Note:
When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
transmitter or Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a
false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see
“Setting up”
above)
otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 100 meters from the Thermo-hygro transmitter to the
Weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment
and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors,
all system units have to be reset (see
“Setting up”
above).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before
wall mounting, please check that the outdoor data can be received from the desired
locations.
To wall mount:
1.
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head
extended out by about 5mm.
2.
Place the weather station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on
the backside. Gently pull the weather station down to lock the screw
into place.
Foldout table stand:
The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out
from the bottom center edge of the weather station, below the battery
compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the weather
station in an appropriate location.
POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER
The Thermo-hygro transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to
a wall with the three screws supplied. Before securing the transmitter, ensure
that the 868MHz signal is properly received. To attach to the wall, please
follow the steps below:
1.
Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in the holder to obtain the
exact drilling position.
2.
Drill holes in the wall at the points marked.
3.
Screw holder onto wall.
