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 ­ to do.
• Only install the stations once the appropriate settings have been made and a stable wireless connection is established.

Note

• The wireless transmission range between the measuring station and base station is up to 30 m in open spaces.
• Before installation, ensure that wireless transmission will not be disrupted by interference or obstacles like buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc.
• To avoid transmission interference, do not operate adjacent wireless devices on the same frequency (433 MHz).
• 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.
• The international standard height for measuring air temperature is 1.25 m (4 ft) above ground.

Warning

• Buy special or suitable installation material from a specialised 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.
• Do not mount the product above locations where persons might linger.

5.1 Base station

• Use the base to position the base station on a level surface.

5.2 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 (27).
• Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
• Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening (27) intended for this purpose.

6. Operation

6.1 Connection to the measuring station

• When the batteries have been inserted, the base station automatically searches for a connection to the measuring station and to the radio signal.

Note

• The respective symbols will flash during the connection attempts: connection to the measuring station, connection to the DCF signal
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of value errors and inaccuracies.
• Do not change the location of the base station during the search processes.
• The process is completed when the indoor (8) and outdoor (3) measurement data is displayed.

6.2 Basic and manual settings Automatic setting using the DCF signal

When the base station has been switched on for the first time and successful transmission has been established between the base station and the measuring station, the clock will automatically search for the DCF signal. During the search, the radio symbol flashes.

• If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the UP button (19) for approximately 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol starts to flash.

Note -­ Time settings

• The search process can take up to 7 minutes. If it fails, the radio symbol will go out.
• In the meantime, however, you can set the time and the date manually.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (at 1 am and 5 am). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

Note -­ Summer time

The clock automatically switches to summer time. DST appears on the display as long as summer time is activated.

Manual settings

• Press and hold the SET button (20) for approximately 3 seconds to make the following settings one after the other:

• Unit of atmospheric pressure (hPa or inHg)
• Press the UP button (19) or DOWN button (22) to select your setting. Press the SET button (20) to confirm your entries.

Note ­ Time zone

• The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always transmits the current Central European Time in Germany. Make sure you account for the time difference in countries in other time zones.
• If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then sets the time automatically to 3 hours ahead after receiving the DCF signal or according to the manually set time.

Alarm

• Press and hold the ALARM button (23) for approximately 3 seconds to set the time of the alarm displayed. The hours display begins to flash.
