Getting started

6.1 Insert the batteries

• Place the instruments on a table at a distance of about 1.5 meters from each other. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio equipment.

6.2 Installation of the base station

• Open the battery compartment and insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
• All segments will be displayed briefly.
• On the upper display of the base station appear 0:00 and the indoor temperature and humidity.
• “- -,-°C“ flashes on the lower display.
• The base station will scan for 3 minutes the outdoor values. You can install the pool sensor during this time.
• Close the battery compartment again.

6.3 Installation of the pool sensor

• Turn the screw cover counterclockwise.
• Carefully pull the battery container out of the body and insert 2 x AA 1.5 V batteries with the correct polarity.
• All segments will be displayed briefly.
• On the display of the pool sensor appears the temperature in °C.
• Push the battery container back into the housing.
• Close the cover carefully.
• Pay attention to the sealing ring.

6.4 Outdoor values reception

• After the batteries are inserted, the measuring values of the pool sensor will be transmitted to the base station.
•  If the reception is successfully on the lower display of the base station appear the water temperature with the maximum and minimum values.
• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -,-°C“ remains on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
• As soon as the base station receives the radio-controlled time, you can start the manual initialisation of the transmitter. Press and hold the CHANNEL/SEARCH button for three seconds while the indoor values “in“ are shown on the upper display. “- -, -°C“ flashes on the lower display. The base station will scan the outdoor values.

6.5 Radio-controlled time reception

• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.
  When the time code is successfully received after 2-10 minutes, the radio- controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00 and 2:00 o’clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o’clock, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock.

• You can also activate the DCF reception manually.

• Press the SET/RCC button. The DCF reception symbol flashes.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the SET/RCC button again. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• There are three different reception states:
  flashing – reception is active
  solid – reception is very good
  No symbol – no reception/time was set manually

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).

6.6 Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded  and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio  clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exacttime. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 – 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• Maximum and minimum values for the pool temperature: Press and hold the – MODE button in normal mode. The values will be deleted and reset to the current state.

Positioning and fixing of the base station and the pool sensor

• The base station can be placed onto any flat surface with the foldable leg or wall mounted at a chosen location with the mounting hole, both found at the back of the unit. Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
• The pool sensor floats on the water surface and measures the temperature in a water depth of about 110 mm. You can fix the pool sensor by a cord. Pull the cord through the opening.
• Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the pool sensor to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
• If necessary choose another position for the base station.

Additional transmitters (item no.: 30.3239.02) optionally available

• Beside the pool transmitter the base station is able to receive 2 additional transmitters for the control of indoor (e.g. children’s room, wine-cellar etc.) or outdoor climate
