INSTALLATION

Outdoor sensor power supply

Open the battery compartment of the outdoor unit
Insert 2 X 1.5V size AAA (LR03) batteries into the battery compartment (preferably alkaline batteries)
Click the battery cover back onto the weather station.

Indoor unit power supply

Open the battery compartment of the indoor unit.
Insert 4 X 1.5V size AA (LR6) batteries into the battery compartment (preferably alkaline batteries), paying attention to the polarity.
Click the battery cover back onto the weather station.

The weather station now starts the reception from the outdoor unit.

Weather forecast

The weather forecast is displayed in the form of animations: The weather station calculates the weather for the coming 12-24 hours based on air pressure. The trend arrows represent the predicted change in weather conditions (13). Upon inserting the batteries, the actual weather conditions must be set by choosing the most suitable icon. The weather animation will start flashing. Press the ▲(23) and ▼(16) buttons to select the correct icon.

Confirm your choice by pressing the “MODE/SET” (15) button.
For cloudy weather, select the cloud.
For sunny weather, select the sun, etc.

To adjust the weather icons at a later time

Press and hold the “MODE/SET” (15) button until the clock starts flashing and repeatedly press the “MODE/SET” (15) button until the animation starts flashing. Press the ▲(23) and ▼(16) buttons to select the correct icon and confirm your choice by pressing the “MODE/SET” (15) button. The weather forecast is now set. This forecast applies to an area of approx. 30-50km around the weather station and has an accuracy of 70-75%. Keep in mind that a correct display of the weather forecast cannot be guaranteed. The weather station uses the following predictions

When the weather station has received the outdoor sensor’s signal, it’ll automatically switch to the reception of the DCF-77 atomic time.

(DCF) time

When the symbol is flashing, the clock is receiving the atomic time. When it’s synchronized with the atomic time radio graphically sent by the ‘DCF77’ station, the symbol will remain lit. If this symbol doesn’t appear, the time is shown via the internal clock of the weather station. The DCF77 station is situated in Frankfurt, Germany. The reception of the DCF77 time is basically possible in the whole of Western Europe. During daylight saving time, the symbol appears.

TO MANUALLY SET THE WEATHER STATION

Press and hold the “MODE/SET” button for at least 1 second until 12Hr or 24Hr starts flashing. Repeatedly press the “MODE/SET” (15) button to adjust the following functions using the ▲(23) and ▼(16) buttons (the setup menu will close after 15 seconds without pressing any buttons).

Press any button (except the “SNOOZE” button) to stop the alarm signal. If no button is pressed, the alarm signal will stop automatically after ± 2 minutes.
After 24 hours the alarm signal, connected to the set wake-up time, will sound again.

To cancel the snooze function during snoozing

While snoozing, press the “ALERT” (20) button to cancel the snooze function. The icon disappears.

THERMOMETER

The temperature is shown at the left side in the display. Provided that the outdoor sensor is registered, the outdoor temperature is shown at the right side in the display. See “To manually set the weather station” to have the temperature display shown in °C or °F. When the measured temperature is outside the effective measuring range, the display will show LL.L for values that are too low and HH.H for values that are too high.

Temperature alert function

You may only set an alert for the outdoor temperature. You may set the desired temperature and as soon as the outdoor temperature exceeds the set temperature an alert will sound. You may also set a lower limit for an alert as soon as the outdoor temperature falls below the set temperature. Both thresholds can be enabled simultaneously.

To set the temperature alert

Press the “ALERT” (20) button for the following selection:

High alert active (setting from -49°C to +70°C).
High and low alert active.
Low alert active (setting from -50°C to +6°C).
No alert is active.

Press and hold the “ALERT”(20) button for at least 3 seconds until starts flashing. Use the ▲(23) and ▼(16) buttons to set the desired high-temperature alert. Press the “ALERT”(20) button ; starts flashing. Use the ▲(23) and ▼(16) buttons to set the desired low-temperature alert. Press the button “ALERT”(20) to capture everything. As soon as the temperature alert is reached, the icon with the temperature starts flashing ( or ) while an alert tone is emitted. Press a random button or wait for 2 minutes to stop the alert tone. For as long as the temperature remains too high or too low, the temperature display keeps flashing. As soon as the temperature falls between the thresholds, the temperature display stops flashing.

RESET / SYSTEM FAILURE

In case you’ve lost the overview of the settings or the weather station is exhibiting a possible error, it may be wise to reset the weather station and outdoor sensor.

POSITIONING TIPS

Never place the weather station in direct sunlight and keep it away from heat-radiating objects (lights, heaters, etc.)
For proper reception of the radio-controlled time signals, never place the weather station near large metal surfaces or heavy electrical equipment such as a refrigerator or washing machine (some experimenting might be required).
Depending on local circumstances, the effective range between the outdoor sensor and weather station might vary. Before actually fixing the outdoor sensor, check whether the connection between the outdoor sensor and the weather station remains. If so, mount the outdoor sensor.
The distance between the station and the external sensor should be no more than 30 meters.

MOUNTING

In the case of wall-mounting, the indoor and outdoor unit may be suspended from a single screw.
You may fold out the table support to place the weather station and outdoor unit on a flat surface.
