2.
Avoid positioning the Temperature station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal
window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the
same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and
reception.
4.
Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can
also cause interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either
the transmitter or Temperature 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 maximum transmission range is 330 feet (TBC) (100 m- TBC) from the transmitter to
the Temperature 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
).
MOUNTING
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station has been designed to be hung onto wall or free standing.
14
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine. Before
wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values
can be received from the desired locations.
1.
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the
head extended out the by about 5mm.
2.
Remove the stand from the Temperature Station by pulling it
away from the base and hang the station onto the screw.
Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
Free standing
With the detachable stand, the temperature station can be placed
onto any flat surface.
15
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall
with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be position on a
flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.
To wall mount:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and
plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.
Note:
Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in
the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is
receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the
16
transmitters or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause
damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
Do not submerge the unit in water.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace
only with new batteries of the recommended type.
Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of
purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may
invalidate their guarantee.
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead
to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
