Radio sensor

1. Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the radio
sensor.

2. Insert two type R03 (AAA) / 1.5 V batteries, as shown on the base
of the battery compartment.
Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) of the batteries.

3. Reattach the battery compartment lid.

Using additional radio sensors

The weather station is supplied with one radio sensor. However, you
can operate the weather station with up to three radio sensors. Addi­tional radio sensors are available through our Service centre, see
page 46.

! The radio sensors can be situated in different rooms or outdoors.
! Each sensor must have its own sensor number (sensor number =

number of the transmission channel) allocated to it (1 to 3).

! For the snow and frost warning, the weather station only evalu-

ates the data of the sensor with the lowest number (default is 1).

Procedure:

1. Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the radio
sensors.

2. Set a dedicated sensor number for each radio sensor using the
slide switches.

3. Reattach the battery compartment lids onto the radio sensors.

4. Keep the CHANNEL button pressed on the base station until the
display for weather data OUT flashes.
The base station will now access the weather data for all availa­ble radio sensors.

Base station

1. Fold open the battery compartment lid.

2. Insert two type LR6 / 1.5 V batteries, as shown on the base of the
battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).

3. Reattach the battery compartment lid and fold it shut.

4. Wait for approx. 30 minutes. The base station requires this time
in order to gather all of the weather data and receive radio sig­nals from the time indicator signal.

Setting air pressure

The air pressure depends on the altitude, i.e. in the mountains, there
is lower air pressure than in lowlands.

For the proper function of your weather station, you therefore need
to enter the current air pressure value of your device location. You
can obtain information on this on the Internet or from the local
authorities of your town or municipality. When you have entered the
current (related to sea level) air pressure in the weather station, this
always shows the sea-level-related air pressure of the location.

1. Keep the SET/BARO button pressed until the display that shows
the air pressure begins to flash.

2. Using the BARO- / BARO+ buttons, set the air pressure. Pay
attention to what is shown in the display.

3. Then, press SET/BARO again.

If you keep the BARO- / BARO+ pressed, the values move
forward more quickly.

About the time signal

General

The radio-controlled clock that is integrated into the weather station
receives its radio signals from the time indicator signal MSF.

As soon as the base station is supplied with power by the batteries,
it switches onto receiving and searches for the signal from transmit­ter MSF. If the time signal has been received through the ferrite bar
antenna built into the radio-controlled alarm clock at a sufficient
strength, the date and time will be shown in the display.

The base station switches on several times a day and synchronises its
time with the radio signal from transmitter MSF. In the case of non­receipt, e.g. with strong lightning storms, the device continues to
run accurately and only switches to receiving automatically at the
next designated time.

Start radio reception manually

When the batteries are inserted in the base station, all indications
will briefly been shown in the display. The display will also briefly illu­minate and sound a beep tone.

HELPLINE No. U K / N.IRELAND 0800 328 60 20 REP. IRELAND 00 800 44 67 58 88

WEB SUPPORT [e-mail]

14

After this, the device switches to receiving, whereby the radio
wave number shows the quality of the reception: The more
radio waves are displayed, the better the reception.

As soon as the signal is received with sufficient strength, the relevant
data is shown in the display and the transmitter tower symbol is
constantly displayed. This process can take a few minutes.

Effective immediately, the weather station switches to receiving
several times a day and compares the displayed time with that from
the time signal transmitter.

If a week signal is received the base station will stop the receiving
process and the tower symbol will not be shown. The receiving proc­ess will start again later.

In this case, the time continues to run normally, from the start time
of "00:00".

! First, check whether the location of the base station is suitable,

see page 16.

! You can restart the receiving process again manually, see

page 15, or

! Wait until the base station automatically switches to receiving

again later. Reception is usually better during the night.

! If reception is not possible at your location, you can set the time

and date manually, see next chapter.

In order to start the reception of the time signal manually, keep the

-/ /ZONE button pressed until the radio signal symbol is displayed

again and the weather station is switched to reception.

Please note:

! If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol disap-

pears after several minutes and the time in the display continues
to run normally.

! With successful reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock sets

itself to the time of the time signal transmitter. If you have
already carried out manual time and date settings, these are
automatically adjusted.

ATTENTION

- Protect the base station and radio sensor from dust,
impact, extreme temperatures and direct sunshine.

- Protect the base station from moisture. Exclusively posi­tion base station in a dry, enclosed space.

- The radio sensor is protected from moisture, but must be
protected from direct moisture, e.g. rain.

General

The base station and radio sensor exchange data through a radio
frequency. Therefore, the location is crucial to the range of the radio
connection.

Please note:

! The maximum allowable distance between the base station and

the sensor is 100 metres. However, this range is only possible
with "direct visible contact".

! Blocking building materials, e.g. reinforced concrete reduce or

prevent radio reception between the base station and radio
sensor.

! Devices, such as televisions, cordless telephones, computers and

neon tubes can also disrupt the radio reception.

! Do not place the base station and radio sensor directly on the

ground. This limits the range.

! At low temperatures during the winter, the performance of the

radio sensor batteries can fall significantly. This reduces the
transmission range.

Regarding the radio reception between the time signal transmitter
and the base station, please note the following points:

! Preferably set up the base station near a window.
! Keep a distance to televisions, PCs and monitors. Base stations of

cordless telephones should also not be in the direct vicinity of
the weather station.

! Reception is usually better during the night. If the alarm clock

should not have any reception during the daytime, it could be
that the signal will immediately be received at night and at full
strength.

! The weather, e.g. an intense lighting storm, can cause reception

problems.

! The transmitter can occasionally be switched off temporarily,

e.g. for maintenance works.

Weather data

Temperature and humidity

This area is divided into two parts in the display. The top section OUT
[OUTSIDE] shows the values measured by the radio sensor, the

bottom section IN [INSIDE ] shows the data recorded by the base
station. For technical reasons, the relative humidity can only be
determined within the temperature range of 0 - 60°C.

If "LL" is shown in the OUT [OUTSIDE] section of the
display, the humidity is either a) outside of the measure­ment range of 20% or b) the outside temperature has fallen

below 0°C. In case b), "LL" is displayed for technical reasons.

The MAX and MIN values are continuously measured and stored. It is
therefore not possible to manually delete these values.

In conjunction with the weather forecast, see next chapter, other
weather indications are possible. Two examples:

! Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure is falling quickly

and intensively >> strong rain is likely.

! Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure has risen during

the last 12 hours, but has fallen again during the last 3 hours >>
light rain is likely.

Weather forecast

After initial operation, the details regarding the weather
forecast cannot yet be used for approx. 12 hours, as the
weather station needs this time to gather and evaluate the

weather data.

The weather forecast results from the gathered weather data and
the measured changes in air pressure.

The forecast relates to the area around the weather station with a
radius of approx. 30 - 50 km for a period of the next 12 to 24 hours.

The precision of the weather forecast is approximate only.

Frost warning - When the radio sensor measures a temperature of
between + 1 °C and -1 °C, a risk of frost exists and a snowflake symbol
flashes. If the temperature falls below -1 °C for a constant period of
time, the snowflake symbol is displayed steadily.

Please note: Even if the temperature alarm is not displayed,
there is always a risk of frost/black ice with temperatures
around freezing point. The outside sensor can only measure the
local temperature at the installation site.

Only if a radio sensor is in use. With a frost alarm, the radio
sensor with the lowest sensor number is always evaluated.

If the symbols for the weather forecast start to flash and the air pres­sure falls, this is an indication of weather deterioration, e.g. because
of a storm front closing in.

However, the requirement for a correct display is that you have set
the air pressure at your location, see page 12.

When the air pressure rises again, the symbols are displayed
constantly again.

In the top section, an arrow indicates the weather trend. If it points

In order to accelerate the data interchange between the
weather station and radio sensor, you can keep CHANNEL
pressed on the weather station until the display flashes and
press the TX button on the appropriate radio sensor. With
this, the weather data will be directly transmitted to the
base station.

Have time displayed in a different time zone

The requirement for this is that you have also entered the time in a
second time zone, see from page 14.

1. Press the -/ /ZONE button if you intend to have the time in a
second time zone displayed.
Next to the time, ZONE is displayed.

2. Press -/ /ZONE again, if the originally displayed time should
appear again.

Each country is allocated to a time zone, whereby countries with a
very large east-west expansion frequently extend over several time
zones.

Russia, for example, extends across 9 time zones, Canada extends
over 5 time zones.
