LCD 5 OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE:
The fifth LCD section shows the outdoor temperature and a transmission signal
reception icon. A number beside the temperature will also show if more than one
transmitter is used.
TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE OUTDOOR RECORDINGS:
1.
To toggle between the outdoor current, minimum and maximum temperature
data and the times at which they were recorded, press the OUT key:
Once to show the minimum temperature value with time and date recorded
Twice to show the maximum temperature value with time and date recorded
Three times to return to the current time, date and temperature level
2.
To toggle between transmitters, press the CHANNEL key:
Once to show transmitter 2
Twice to show transmitter 3
Three times to return to transmitter 1
Note:
The transmitter number will only be displayed if there is more than one
transmitter detected.
3.
To reset the minimum and maximum outdoor temperature data and the times
at which they were recorded, press the OUT key continuously for about 3
seconds. This will reset all minimum and maximum data recorded to the
current time, date, temperature. The min/max temperature recorded are of
current time and they remain unaffected by the time zone setting.
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The LCD display shows the current temperature at the location of the transmitter.
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the Weather Station approximately
every 60 seconds and at each transmission the antenna icon (Y) will light briefly.
The range of the Temperature Transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At
cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in
mind when positioning the transmitter. The LCD contrast on the unit may also be
reduced and the batteries are reduced in power.
433MHz RECEPTION:
The Weather station will receive the temperature data within 15 minutes. If the
temperature data is not being received 15 minutes after setting up (the display
shows “---”), then please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2
meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV
sets.
2.
Avoid placing the receiver 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 (433MHz) may prevent correct signal
transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal
frequency can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery covers 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 20 - 25 m from the 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
).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station comes attached with a removable table stand, which provides
the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please
check that the outdoor temperature 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 the by about 5mm.
2.
Remove the stand from the Weather Station by pulling it
way from the base and hang the station onto the screw.
Remember to ensure that it locks into place before
releasing.
