Product Information

The VA Colour Thermo-Hygro Station is a weather station that provides information about temperature and humidity levels. It comes with a base station and a wireless sensor that can be placed outdoors to measure the temperature and humidity levels. The station also features an alarm clock with a snooze function, a weather forecast display, and trend arrows indicating whether the temperature and humidity are rising or falling. The display is backlit and can be adjusted for brightness. The station can be powered by either a power adapter or batteries.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Before using the station, make sure to read the instruction manual carefully.
  2. To find further information on the product or available translations of the instructions, visit the manufacturer’s website using the QR code or web link provided in the manual.
  3. To power the station, plug in the power adapter or insert batteries into the battery compartment of both the base station and the wireless sensor. Make sure to align the battery poles correctly.
  4. If using a wireless sensor, make sure to set it to a different channel than any other sensors in use. If using only one sensor, set it to channel 1.
  5. The station can automatically set the time by receiving a radio signal. If this is not possible, the time can be set manually.

Before commissioning

NOTICE

Avoid connection faults!
In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

  1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
  2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
  3. Establish power supply for the sensor.
  4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
  5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries from both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio link can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection must also be briefly disconnected for this device when the batteries are changed. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are re-placed, the signal may subsequently not be received at all or not be received correctly. Note that the actual range depends on the respective construction materials used for the buildings as well as the respective position of the base unit and the outdoor sensor. External influences (various ra-dio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Some-times moving the sensor by just a few centimeters is enough!

Settings

Setting up power supply

Base device

  1. Insert the DC connector into the connection socket of the base station.

  2. Insert the mains plug into the power outlet.

  3. The device is energized directly.

  4. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.
    NOTICE!  For permanent operation, mains power supply is recommended. Alternatively a power supply with batteries is also possible, to keep the time setting in case of power failure (permanent backlight not active). Proceed as follows:

  5. Remove the battery compartment cover.

  6. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

  7. Replace the battery compartment cover.

  8. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.
    NOTICE!  After 7 seconds, the display switches to power-saving mode in battery mode. When using battery power, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to activate the display for about 7 seconds.
    NOTICE!  When switching from mains power supply to battery power supply or vice versa, the power supply is being disabled for a short moment for technical reasons. Exception: per-manent battery operation.
    Remote sensor

  9. Remove the battery compartment cover.

  10. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

  11. Set the channel selector switch to the desired channel.
    NOTICE!  This weather station can be operated with one or more remote sensors. Each re-mote sensor being connected must be operated on a different channel. If only one remote sensor is connected, it should be operated on channel 1.

  12. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Automatic time setting
After the power is restored, the unit automatically searches for the radio signal. It takes approximately 3-8 minutes for this process to complete. If the radio signal is received correctly, the date and time are set automatically and the reception sym-bol is displayed.

NOTICE!  Some functions/buttons are deactivated during radio signal reception.

If no radio signal is received, proceed as follows:

  1. Press the DOWN button on the base unit for approx. 3 seconds to activate reception of the radio signal. Reception is now initialized again.
  2. If still no radio signal is received, the time must be set manually.

Manual time setting
To set the time/date manually, first check whether the radio symbol in the display is still flashing (auto-matic reception of the time signal is then still active). If the radio symbol is still flashing, press the DOWN button for 3 seconds to deactivate reception.

  1. Press the SET button for approx. 3 seconds to enter the time setting mode.
  2. Digits to be set are flashing.
  3. Press UP or DOWN button to change the value.
  4. Press the SET button to confirm and switch to the next setting.
  5. Sequence of the settings: Time offset (+/- 12 hours) > hours > minutes > year > month > day > 12/24 hour mode > Exit
  6. Finally, press the SET button to save the settings and exit settings mode.

Alarm setting

Alarm time setting

  1. When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to activate the snooze function. The alarm sounds again after 5 minutes.
  2. When the alarm sounds, press any other key to stop the alarm until the set alarm time is reached again.
  3. If no key is pressed, the alarm is automatically switched off after 2 minutes.

Display change

  • In normal display mode, press the SET button to switch between time and alarm.
  • In normal display mode, press the UP button to toggle between °C and °F when displaying the temperature unit.
  • In normal display mode, press the CHANNEL button for about 3 seconds to clear the outdoor sensor data and reinitialize sensor reception.
  • In normal display mode, press the Max/Min button several times to display the set Max/Min values one after another.
  • During the Max/Min display, press the Max/Min button for about 3 seconds to clear the Max/Min data. Every day at 0:00 a.m. the max/min data record is automatically deleted.

Weather forecast
A weather trend for the next 12-24 hours is calculated from the measured values and displayed graphically as follows:

Trend arrow indicators

NATIONAL-GEOGRAPHIC-9070700-VA-Colour-Thermo-Hygro-Weather-Station-fig-
\(6\)

  • 1 rising
  • 2 falling

The temperature and humidity trend indicator shows the trends of weather change for the coming minutes. The arrows indicate a rising or falling trend.

Connecting remote sensors

The Weather Station can display the readings from up to 3 wireless sensors of the same type. Each radio sensor must be set to a separate channel. Proceed as follows to set the channel:

  1. Remove the battery compartment cover of the wireless sensor.
  2. Set the channel selection switch to the desired channel (CH1, CH2 or CH3).
  3. Re-attach the battery compartment cover.
  4. NOTICE! Each connected wireless sensor must be set to a different channel. If only one wireless sensor is connected, it should be set to CH1.
  5. Press CHANNEL button for about 3 seconds to reset the values and search for a wireless sensor (RF signal).

Display brightness regulation

  1. When using battery power, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to activate the display for about 7 seconds.
  2. In mains operation (DC 5V), touch the SNOOZE/LIGHT touch surface several times to set the desired display brightness in steps: dim – bright – off
  3. NOTE! It is not possible to adjust the display brightness in battery operation.
