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!
Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

Power supply

Base unit

1. Insert the DC plug into the connection socket on the base unit.

2. Insert the Euro plug into the mains power socket.

3. The device is powered on directly.

4. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE! For permanent operation, mains power supply is recommended. Alternatively, operation using batteries is also possible to maintain the time setting in the event of a power failure. In battery operation, the station is set to power-saving mode after 6 seconds and the display indication is deactivated. The display can be reactivated by pressing the snooze button.
   For battery operation, proceed as follows:

5. Remove the battery compartment cover.

6. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).

7. Replace the battery compartment cover.

8. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE! When changing the type of power supply (mains power or batteries), the power supply is temporarily interrupted for technical reasons. All previously made settings will be lost.
   Wireless sensor

9. Remove the battery compartment cover.

10. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).

11. Move the channel slider to the desired channel.
    NOTICE! This weather station can be operated with one or more wireless sensors. Each connected wireless sensor must be operated on a different channel. If only one wireless sensor is connected, it should be operated on channel 1.

12. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Finding and connecting a sensor

Normally, the connection between the base station and the sensor is established automatically. How-ever, after a battery change or in the event of a connection fault, the sensor search can be triggered manually and thus the connection re-established.
NOTICE! Before establishing the connection, make sure that the identical channels are set on the desired sensor and on the base station.
In normal display mode, press the [SENSOR] button once to activate the reception of the sensor sig-nal for the displayed channel. The signal icon will flash.
NOTICE!  For example, if CH 1 is displayed, pressing the [SENSOR] button will start reception for channel 1 only.
The signal symbol flashes until the reception is successful. If no signal is received within 5 minutes, the symbol disappears.

Automatic time setting

NOTICE!  The reception of the radio signal for automatic time and date setting is done via the outdoor sensor. Therefore, the connection between the outdoor sensor and the base station must first be established.
The current time and date are automatically received and shown on the display of base station after proper synchronization of the outdoor sensor and base station. This process may take a few minutes.
Note:

• The outdoor sensor searches for the time signal at 2:00 and 17:00 every day to update the time and date information.
• Do not place the outdoor sensor and base station near sources of interference such as TVs, com-puters, etc.
• Do not place the components near metal plates
• The use in enclosed spaces such as airport buildings, high-rise buildings or factories is not recom-mended.
• Reception can be significantly disturbed in vehicles due to constant movement.

If the automatic reception of the radio signal does not work, perform a re- synchronization of the base station with the outdoor sensor to re-initiate the reception of the radio signal. Please also read the chapter “Finding and connecting a sensor” for more detailed information. If necessary, find a new loca-tion for the individual components. When doing so, observe the above notes on reception.
If the reception of the radio signal fails even after several attempts of synchronization, the time and date must be set manually. To do this, follow the instructions in the corresponding chapter.

Trend arrow indicators

The temperature trend indicator shows the trends of changes in the forthcoming few minutes. Arrows indicate a rising, steady or falling trend.

Barometric / Atmospheric Pressure

Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any location on earth, caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as alti-tude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Since variation in atmospheric pressure is greatly affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measur-ing the changes in pressure.

1. Press the BARO button to enter the setting mode.

2. Press the BARO button again, to change the unit between inHg / mmHg / hPa.

3. Press the BARO button for 3 seconds to change between absolute and relative atmospheric pres-sure.

   • ABSOLUTE: the absolute atmospheric pressure of your location.
   • RELATIVE: the relative atmospheric pressure based on the sea level.
     Set relative atmospheric pressure value

4. Get the atmospheric pressure data of the sea level (it is also the relative atmospheric pressure data of your home area) through the local weather service, internet and other channels.

5. Hold the BARO button for approx. 3 seconds, until ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE flashes.

6. Press the UP or DOWN button to switch to RELATIVE mode.

7. Press the BARO button again, and the number for RELATIVE flashes.

8. Press UP or DOWN button to change the value.

9. Press the BARO button to save and exit the setting mode.
   NOTE

10. The default relative atmospheric pressure value is 1013 mb/hPa (29.91 inHg), which refers to the average atmospheric pressure.

11. When you change the relative atmospheric pressure value, the weather indicators will change along with it.

12. The built-in barometer can notice the environmental absolute atmospheric pressure changes. Based on the data collected, it can predict the weather conditions in the forthcoming 12 hours. Therefore, the weather indicators will change according to the detected absolute atmospheric pressure after you operate the clock for 1 hour.

13. The relative atmospheric pressure is based on the sea level, but it will change with the absolute at-mospheric pressure changes after operating the clock for 1 hour.

Heat index

Press the INDEX button several times until HEAT INDEX is displayed.

55° C

(> 130° F)

| Extreme danger| Strong risk of dehydration / sun stroke
41° C – 54° C

(106° F – 129° F)

| Danger| Heat exhaustion likely
33° C – 40° C

(91° F – 105° F)

| Extreme caution| Possibility of dehydration
27° C – 32° C

(80° F – 90° F)

| Caution| Possibility of heat exhaustion

Notice:
The perceived temperature is based on the common effects of temperature and humidity. Heat index is only calculated when room temperature is at 27° (80° F) or higher. The displayed perceived temper-ature is calculated solely from temperature and humidity and is measured by the outdoor sensor.

Dew point

Press the INDEX button several times until DEW POINT is displayed.

Note:
The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface. The dewpoint temperature is calculated from the indoor temper- ature and humidity measured at the main unit.

History record for the past 24 hours

The base station automatically records and displays data of the past 24 hours.

1. Press the HISTORY button to check history records of the last hour.
2. Press the HISTORY button several times to display the history records of the hours 2,3,4,5 ……

MAX/MIN Weather data

The base station preserves the MAX/MIN weather data records until the next manual reset. To retrieve the data:

1. Press MEM button several times to display the saved values one after another.
2. Display order: maximum temperature > minimum temperature > maximum humidity > minimum humidity
3. When the MAX/MIN Weather data records are shown, the display will return to normal mode after 6 seconds.
4. Press the -/MEM button for approx. 2 Seconds, wenn the unit is showing MAX/MIN Weather data, to erase the saved records of the current channel.
