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 in both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio connection can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection for this device must also be disconnected briefly when changing the battery. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are re-placed, the signal cannot be received or can no longer be received correctly.
   Note that the actual range depends on the building materials used in the building and the position of the base unit and outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other loca-tions for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Sometimes a shift of just a few centimetres is enough!

Setting up power supply

Weather Trend
The weather station will calculate a weather trend for the next 12 hours on basis of the measured values.

Illustration 4: Weather trend indicators

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 atmospheric pressure changes after operating the clock for 1 hour.

Wind chill factor
Press the INDEX button several times until WIND CHILL is displayed.
Note: The wind chill factor is based on the common effects of temperature and wind speed.The displayed wind chill is calculated solely from temperature and wind speed and is measured by the outdoor sensor.

‘Feels like’ temperature
The ‘feels like’ temperature corresponds on the outside temperature perceived by the human body. It is a collective mix of wind chill factor (18°C/64°F or lower) and heat index (26°C/78°F or higher). At temperatures in the range between 18°C/64°F and 26°C/78°F, where both wind and humidity have less influence on the temperature, the unit displays the actual measured outdoor temperature as the ‘feels like’ temperature.
The following graph illustrates the increasing danger to the human organism when the heat index or wind chill increases.

Illustration 5: Proportionality of heat index and wind chill.

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.
