Getting Started

Please follow these steps to ensure that your new Weather Station and Temperature Transmitterwork correctly together:

Remove all pieces from the packaging and place onto a table in front of you. Check that you have complete:

1. Weather Station

2. 433MHz temperature transmitter

3. Sealed pack with 3 screws and double-sided tape for wall mounting the transmitter

1. Slide open the battery cover of the transmiter as indicated above.

2. Checking the correct polarization, insert the 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment.

3. Replace the cover while ensuring the batteries do not spring free from the contacts as this may cause transmission start up problems.

4. Within 2 minutes of step 3, checking the correct polarization, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V battery into the battery compartment.

5. Replace the front cover while ensuring that the batteries do not spring free from the contacts as this may cause transmission start up problems (should this happen see Resetting below)

6. Your Weather Station is now operational.

Note: For securing the product into place, please see “Positioning the Temperature Transmitter“ and “Positioning the Weather Station“ below.

When setting up, always remember to insert the batteries into the transmitter first as this will start the 433MHz transmission signal for the Weather Station to pick when it is actived (always ensure batteries being used are new and of correct sizes).

Setting up

Going into Setting up, the display will run through the following sequence modes:

• LCD contrast

• Time setting unit (hour followed by minutes)

• Relative air pressure setting

• Weather sensitivity setting

LCD contrast setting

There are 8 different LCD contrast tones to suit the hanging level of the Weather Sation (default at Level 5). Simply hang the Weather station in the desired place and adjust the contrast level so that the LCD digits are sharp and clear from that particular level.

1. Flip open the front cover of the Weather Station from the slot at the base of the unit and then press and hold the “SET“ key until the “LCD5“ start flashing.

2. Press the “+“ key to select and go through each of the 8 different contrast tones

3. Once the desired contrast tone is selected, press the “SET“ key once to move to the time setting mode.

Time setting mode

Hour setting (flashing)

The hour digits will now start flashing.

1. Using the “+“ key, sety the required time in hours. Each press will increase the digits by one.

2. Once the hours are selected, press the “SET“ key to move into the minutes mode.

3. Press the “+“ key to set the required time in minutes. Each press will increase the digits by one.

4. When the time has been set, press the “SET“ key. The LCD will now enter the Relative Air pressure inHg setting mode.

Relative air pressure (inHg) setting

Following from the manual setting mode, the Relative air pressure inHg on the LCD will start flashing. The air pressure inHg range can be set between 28.60 to 30.45 inHg as follow:

1. Press the “+“ key to change the Relative air pressure setting. Each press or holding the key down will increase the digits by 0.01inHg.

2. When the desired Relative air pressure is set, press the “SET“ key. The LCD will now enter the Weather sensitivity setting mode.

Note: The inHg feature is beneficial for user living at various altitudes who want for example, to set readings base at sea level and not from their current surrounding area.

Weather sensitivity setting

Following from the Relative air pressure setting, the Weather sensitivity setting will start flashing in the Relative air pressure inHg section. The Weather sensitivity can be set between the range of 2-4 hPa as follows:

1. Press the “+“ key to select the hPa. Each press or holding the key down will increase the digit by one hPa.

2. When the desired hPa is selected, press the “SET“ key to return to the normal mode.

3. Now hang the Weather Station into place.

Your Weather Station is now fully set. Please read “Positioning the temperature transmitter“ and “Weather Station“ below.

Minutes setting (flashing)

Relative air pressure (flashing)

Note: The hPa setting feature can be used in area where there may be constant changes in air pressure which do not necessarily reflect the changes in the weather. In such areas for example, the hPa might be set to every 3hPa (millibars) meaning that there will be no change of weather icons if the air pressure does not drop or increase by at least 3hPa. For areas where the weather is stagnant, the hPa can be set lower.

After inserting the batteries, all the segments on the LCD will light up briefly before displaying the time and all the other modes.

Note: Please check that the outdoor temperature is received on the LCD. Should the signal not be received, then see Checking for 433MHz reception below.

Indoor temperature reading:

The indoor temperature is displayed underneath the time and will automatically appear after few seconds when the batteries are inserted.

Minimum and maximum indoor temperature recordings:

Underneath the current indoor temperature readings are the minimum and maximum indoor temperature recordings. This feature is useful for displaying the recorded temperatures of the room where the Weather Station has been placed. When a new temperature low or high is reached, it will be automatically updated and displayed.

Relative humidity reading with comfort level reading (face icons)

The relative humidity with comfort level reading is displayed underneath the indoor temperature. With this feature, users can determine how comfortable the reletive humidity is within their current surroundings. Again, as with the indoor temperature, the relative humidity reading will automatically be taken once the batteries are inserted.

Working together with relative humidity, the Weather Station will register a comfort level reading by representation of a “☺““Smilling“ face or “““Sad“ face. The temperature range between +68ºF to +78.7ºF and relative humidity range between 45% to 65% will register the “Smilling“ face. The “Sad“ face will appear should either the temperature or humidity readings be outside these set level and the “Sad“ face represents un uncomfortable one.

When the “““Sad“ face appears with the word “DRY“ or “WET“, it means that the relative humidity reading is outside its comfort range. However, “DRY“ or “WET“will not appear if only the temperature reading is outside its comfort level range. The “““Sad“ face and “DRY“ will appear of the relative humidity level is below 45% or “WET“ will appear if the level is above 65%.

Weather tendency icons

There are 3 weather icons on the fourth line of LCD which can be displayed in any one of the following combinations:

Sunny

Cloudy with sunny intervals

Rainy

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.
