Getting Started

Note
Always make sure to start the measuring station first and then the base station.

Measuring station

• Open the battery compartment (43), remove the contact breaker, and then close the battery compartment (43).
• Press the CH button (40) repeatedly to select the channel the measuring station is to use for transmission. CH1, CH2, or CH 3 are shown on the display.
• Press the °C/°F button (42) to choose between °C and °F for the temperature display.
• Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

• Open the battery compartment (36) and insert three AA batteries with the correct polarity into the battery compartment (36). Then close the battery compartment cover.

Replacing the batteries

Note –Replacing the batteries

• Note that the stations have to be resynchronized each time after you change the batteries in the measuring or base station.
• To do this, remove the batteries from the other station and then reinsert them, or change them as required.

Measuring station

• When the symbol (26) appears, replace the 2AAA batteries for the measuring station with 2new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (43), remove and properly dispose of the depleted batteries, and insert two new AAA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover.

Base station

• When the symbol (22) appears, replace the 3AA batteries for the base station with 3new ones.
• Open the battery compartment (36), remove and properly dispose of the dead batteries and insert 3new AA batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment cover (36).

Installation

Note –Installation

• We recommend initially placing the base and measuring stations in the intended locations without installing them and making all the settings described in 6.
  Operation –todo.

• Only install the stations once the appropriate settings have been made and an astable wireless connection is established.

• Do not mount the product above locations where persons might linger.

• Before mounting, check that the wall you have chosen is suitable for the weight to be mounted. Also make sure that there are no electric, water, gas, or other lines running through the wall at the mounting site.

Note –Installation

• The wireless transmission range between the measuring and base stations is up to 30 min open spaces.
• Before installation, ensure that wireless transmission will not be disrupted by interference or obstacles like buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc.
• Before the final installation, ensure that there is sufficient reception between the intended installation locations.
• When installing the measuring station, ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and rain.

Note –Installation

• The international standard height for measuring air temperatureis1.25 m(4ft) above ground.

Warning

• Buy special or suitable installation material from a specialized dealer for wall-mounting.
• Ensure that no faulty or damaged parts are installed.
• Never apply force during installation. This could damage the product.
• Before installation, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there are no electrical wires, water, gas, or other lines at the installation site on the wall.

Base station

• Use the base to position the base station on a level surface.
• Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wall using the opening on the back.

Measuring station

• You can also position the measuring station on a level outdoor surface.
• We recommend installing the measuring station securely on an outdoor wall using the recess (41).

Operation

Connection to the measuring station

• After you insert the batteries, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and performs the initial setup.

Note

• Initial setup takes approx. 3minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the measuring station radio symbol (29) will flash.
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor (25) and outdoor (28) measurement data is displayed
• If the base station still does not receive a signal from the measuring station, press and hold the Channel button (35) for approx. 3seconds to start the manual search for the signal.

Basic and manual settings

Automatic setting using the DCF signal

• After the first time, the base station is switched on and successful transmission is established between the base station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for the PCF signal. During the search, the wireless symbol (14) will flash.

If the station still does not receive a signal, simultaneously press the +button (32) and –button (33) to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol (14) will start to flash.

Note –Time settings

• The search process takes about 7minutes. If the search fails, it ends and is repeated at the next clock hour.
  The radio symbol (14) goes out.

• In the meantime you can, however, set the time and the date manually.

• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.) to correct any deviations. If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

• Simultaneously press and hold the +button (32) and the –button (33) for approx. 3seconds to stop the manual search.

Note –Summertime
The clock automatically switches to summertime. DST appears on the display as long as summertime is activated.

(Manual) settings
Note
Hold down the + button (32) or the – button (33) to select the values faster.

• Simultaneously press and hold the + button (32) and the – button (33) for approx. 3seconds to stop the search for the DCF signal. The wireless symbol (14) disappears, and you can set the time manually.
• Press and hold the MODE button (31) for approx. 3 seconds to make the following settings one after the other:
• Year
• Calendar month(16)
• Date (15)

Weather forecast/ atmospheric pressure history

• Based on changes in the atmospheric pressure and the data saved, the base station is able to make weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours.

Note –Weather forecast
The weather forecast function is not available during the first few hours of operation because it requires data that is collected during operation.

• The weather forecast and the current weather are indicated by five different symbols (1):

Temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure trends

Note
The trend displays are not available during the first few hours of operation because they require data that is collected during operation.
The weather station indicates a trend as to how the values for the outdoor temperature/humidity (7/30), room temperature/ humidity (24/9), and atmospheric pressure(2) are likely to develop over the next few hours.

• Repeatedly press the HISTORY button (34) to access the atmospheric pressure values (4) for the last twelve hours in 1hour intervals (3).
• If you do not make an entry for the 20 seconds, the current atmospheric pressure(4) is displayed again automatically.

• As soon as the room temperature falls below +4°C, the symbol for risk of frost (27) is displayed.

Maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values

The base station automatically stores the maximum and minimum indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity values.

• Briefly press the + button (36) repeatedly to switch the display between the current temperature and humidity, maximum temperature and humidity (MAX), and minimum temperature and humidity (MIN).
• Press and hold the +button in the MAX/MIN view for more than three seconds to delete the saved maximum and minimum values.

Outdoor temperature alarm

• Press the + button (32) or the – button (33) to set the displayed limit value and confirm your selection by pressing the MODE button (31).

• Then repeat this procedure for the lower limit value .
  The alarm is triggered correspondingly if the outdoor temperature reaches one of these limit values.
  The symbol (27) and the outdoor temperature start to flash and an alarm signal sounds.
  Press any button to stop the alarm

Note –Outdoor temperature alarm

• You can define a lower and an upper limit value and activate an alarm for each channel and/or connected measuring station.
• Note that the lower limit value must be at least 1°C/1°F below the upper limit value.
