distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind
when positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may
be reduced in power for the thermo-hygro transmitter.
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.
