1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing this product.
The product has been EMC-tested and thus meets the requirements
of the valid national guidelines. See also FCC-Information.
In order to maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, you, as the
user, have to observe this operating manual.
Prior to using the product for the first time, please read the entire operating
manual and observe all operating and safety instructions.
We should already like to point out now the correct order

for commissioning the products. Please also observe the
installation and calibration instructions in this operating
manual as well as the information about impairment of radio
transmission between the sensors and base station.
1.1. Intended use
The temperature station PTD 300 US is a high-quality temperature measuring system which processes a large quantity of temperature and air
humidity data. All external sensors transmit their data per radio to the
base station (433 MHz, range up to 300 ft. in open space, see chapter
14 on page 27).
You can use the following wireless sensors:
- Pool-Temperature sensor S 300PT-US (Water temperature)
- Combination sensor KS 300US (Temperature and air humidity)
- Combination sensor KS 200US (Temperature and air humidity)
- Temperature and humidity sensor ASH 2200US (Temperature and air
humidity)
At all you can apply up to 9 of these sensors to the base station (e.g. 1 x
KS 300US + 8 other sensors).
Additional a temperature and air humidity sensor for measuring the indoor
temperature and air humidity is integrated in the base station.
The information of the base station serve only the purpose of orientation.
The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for incorrect displays,
measuring values or any consequences which may result from these.
The product is intended for private use. It is not suited for medical purposes
or public information.
The components of this product are not toys. Install all components in
such a way that children have no access to them.
The product is battery-operated.
Any other use than that described above may lead to damage
to the product or to other danger.
Read the complete operating manual carefully. It contains much
important information about the installation and operation.

5. Safety instructions
Damage caused by non-observance of this operating
manual can lead to forfeiture of the warranty! We shall not
assume any liability for subsequent damage!
We shall not assume any liability for damage to items or
persons caused by improper handling or non-observance
of the safety instructions! In such cases, any guarantee
claims shall become null and void.
Dear Customer, the following safety and hazard notices not only serve
the protection of your health but also the protection of the appliance.
Please read the following points carefully!
• Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although
the outdoor sensor only emits relatively weak radio signals, these may
cause interference to life-support systems. The same can also apply
in other areas.
• The base station is only suited for dry, indoor premises. Do not expose
it to direct sunlight, extreme heat, cold, dampness or humidity.
• For safety and licensing reasons, it is not permitted to convert or modify
the product.
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around. Plastic foil and bags,
polystyrene parts etc. are dangerous toys in the hands of children.
• Handle the product with care! Blows or impact, or dropping it even
from a small height will damage it.

6. Battery and environment instructions
• Batteries do not belong in the hands of children.
• Observe the right polarity when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
• Do not leave batteries lying around. Pets or small children may swallow
them. If they are swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may lead to
injury to the skin. For this reason, use suitable protective gloves when
changing them.
• Make sure that batteries or rechargeable batteries are not thrown into
the fire or short-circuited. There is a likelihood of explosion!
• Never dismantle batteries/rechargeable batteries!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
• If the product is not used for longer periods of time (e.g. in case of
storage), please remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries
in order to prevent damage caused by leaking batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
7. Preparation for operation, commissioning
Please observe:
First of all, put all available outdoor sensors into operation
(insert batteries) and then the base station itself.
If you proceed in the opposite order, it could occur that
the base station does not detect all the existing outdoor
sensors.
We always recommend you first of all try out the base station with all
outdoor sensors in a room before installing the outdoor sensors in the
open air. However, the distance between the base station and the outdoor
sensors should be at least 6 ft. in order to avoid interference.
If you notice that one outdoor sensor is out of range after installation,
you can assume that radio reception is not sufficient (and that there is no
defect in the outdoor sensor).
This initial function test will save extensive and time-consuming error
searches afterwards.
7.1. Commissioning the base station
• Open the battery compartment on the back of the base station.
• Insert three batteries (AA cells) with the correct polarity into the battery
compartment. Use preferably alkaline batteries..

• Close battery compartment.
• After you have inserted the batteries, all segments of the LCD are

- If no sensor received: Temperature of the integrated sensor (indoor
temperature)
- If one sensor received: Temperature of this sensor

If more than one sensor received: Temperature of the sensor with address 8 (this is the pool sensor
the lowest sensor address.
If you have changed the address on the pool sensor S 300PT-US
you have to change the display panel A to this address (1...8,
see chapter 9.2.1.).

Additional you can see the associated comfort indicator and tendency
indicator.
You can either hang the base station on a wall (there is a corresponding
opening on the back) or place it on a level surface with the installation
base.
f you want to use the foot, first put the booth lower spikes of the foot
into the supports on the back side of the base station (below the battery
compartment). Then, swing the foot a little bit to the front till the two other
spikes lock into the catch supports at the buttom of the base station.
