Operating the Base Station

Note –Input
Hold down the MIN/MAX button (30) or the + button (31) to select the values faster.
If you press the SNOOZE /LIGHT button (32), the display will light up for approx. 10 seconds.

Automatic initial setup

All available LCDsegments on the display are displayed briefly after turning the measuring station on for the first time.

• The base station then performs an automatic initial setup. During setup, the base station performs measuring station synchronization, the pressure measurement values are stabilized and factory settings are set.

Note –Initial setup

• Initial setup takes approx. 3minutes.
• 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 (12, 14) and outdoor (18, 20) measurement data is displayed
• 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 (27) will flash.

Note –Time settings

• If during the first minute of the initial setup, no DCF signal can be found, the search is stopped and repeated every two hours. The wireless symbol will go out.
• You can, however,set the time and the date manually.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis. If the signal is received successfully, the manually-set time and date are overwritten.

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

Basic and manual settings

• Press and hold the SET button (28) for approx. 3seconds to make the following settings one after the other:
• Time zone (24)
• 12/24 hour format (24)
•  Hours (24)
• Minutes (24)
• Year (21)
• Month (21)
• Day (21)
• Temperature unit (°C /°F) (13+17)
• Room temperature value (12)
• Room humidity value (14)
• Outdoor temperature value (18)
• Outdoor humidity value (20)
• Atmospheric pressure unit (hPa/inHg) (5+9)
• Relative atmospheric pressure reference value (5)
• Atmospheric pressure threshold value (5)
• Storm threshold value (5)
• To select the individual values press the MIN/MAX button (30) or the + button (31) and confirm each selection by pressing the SET button (28).
• Press the SET button (28) to adopt the set value displayed and to skip.
• If you do not make an entry for 20 seconds, you automatically exit setup mode. Alternatively, press the SNOOZE /LIGHT
  button (32) to exit setup mode before selecting all the values.

Note –Time zone

• The DCF signal can be received over a wide range, but always corresponds to the applicable Central European Time in Germany. Make sure you account for the time difference in countries with another time zone.
• If you are in Moscow, the time is 3hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then automatically sets itself 3hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according to the manually set time.

Note –Temperature and humidity

• In terms of accuracy, the temperature and air humidity measurement is intended for private, non-commercial use.
• In individual cases, the measured values displayed may differ slightly from comparison values, e.g. values from the calibrated measuring device. Using the Basic and manual settings, you can adjust and recalibrate the values for the room/outdoor temperature and/or the humidity.
• We recommend that you do not manually calibrate the measured values, press the SET button (28) during manual setup to skip this step.

Note –Atmospheric pressure

• The absolute atmospheric pressure(abs)is a value measured at the installation location that cannot be changed.
• The relative atmospheric pressure(rel)is the absolute atmospheric pressure at the installation location corrected to the atmospheric pressure at sea level (msl).
• The reference value for relative atmospheric pressure is set to 1013.2 HIPAA standard. For an exact measurement, adapt the reference value to your location. You can manually set the reference value to within arangeof919.0 hPa and 1080.0 hPa.
• Information on the current relative atmospheric pressure for you location is available on the Internet, from your local meteorological office, on the radio, etc.

Note –Atmospheric pressure threshold value

• The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure changes, and you individually set their threshold values between 2hPa and 4hPa.The threshold value is set to 3hPA as standard.
• A decrease or increase in the atmospheric pressure at least the set threshold value is registered as a change in the weather.
• For locations with frequent changes in atmospheric pressure, we recommend you set a higher atmospheric threshold value than for locations with a relatively constant atmospheric pressure.

Note –Storm threshold value

• The storm forecast is also based on atmospheric pressure changes, and you individually set their threshold values between 3hPa and 9hPa.The threshold value is set to 6hPA as standard.
• The storm warning display is activated if, over a period of three hours, there is a decrease or increase in the atmospheric pressure by at least the set threshold value.
• When the storm warning display is activated, the rain symbol and the trend arrow flash for three hours.

Weather forecast

• 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 four different symbols (1):

• Based on the measured barometer values, the atmospheric pressure trend for the next few hours is displayed between the weather forecast symbols.

• The weather symbols change depending on the current relative atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure changes within the past six hours. If the weather is changing, the atmospheric pressure trend arrows (3) flash for three hours to indicate the change in weather. The arrows (3) stop flashing when the weather conditions have subsequently stabilized and the station has not detected any further changes in weather.
  Examples:

Atmospheric pressure trend: Decreasing /Weather is getting worse
Current weather: Cloudy
| Current weather: Slightly cloudy
Atmospheric pressure trend: Increasing /Weather is improving
Weather forecast: Sun

• The bar graph (8) shows the history of the relative atmospheric pressure within the last 24 hours.

Temperature /atmospheric pressure display mode

• Press the SET button (28) repeatedly to change between the following displays:

• Outdoor temperature(18: TEMP)/ Dew point temperature (18: DEWPOINT)

• Absolute atmospheric pressure(7: abs)/Relative atmospheric pressure(7: rel)
  The applicable display begins to flash.

•  While the display is flashing, press the MIN/MAX button (30) or the + button (31) to switch between the outdoor temperature and the dew point or between the absolute and relative atmospheric pressure.

• Confirm your display selection by pressing the SET button (28).

The weather station offers you the option to adjust the relative air pressure display according to the height of the location above sea level.
To set /calibrate the relative air pressure, proceed as follows:

• Press and hold the SET button (28) until the time at the bottom edge of the display disappears.
• Now press the SET button (28) several times until “rel”appears next to air pressure and the numeric value for the air pressure flashes.
• Now use MIN/MAX (30) or + (31) to adjust the (current) relative value in 0.1 increments. Use the value from calibrated weather station nearby or the value from a weather service to set the value for the relative air pressure.

Note –Replacing the batteries

Note, 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.

Note –Faulty transfer of measured values
In isolated cases, interference—e.g. from a WLAN network, computer or television set—can cause the transfer of measured values between the measuring station and the base station to fail.
In this case, you must resynchronize the stations by briefly removing the batteries from both stations and reinserting them.
If the measured values are not transferred again once the batteries are inserted, replace the batteries with new ones. If necessary, select a new location for the base station in order to avoid possible interference in the future.
