SETTING UP

WHEN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

1. First, insert the batteries in the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Thermo-hygro outdoor transmitter”

above).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries in the Weather Station (see “How to install and replace batteries in the Weather Station” above). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If these information are not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, the distance between the Weather Station and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet (100 meters) (see notes on “Positioning” and

“915 MHz Reception”).

Note:

In the event of changing batteries of the units, ensure the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

WHEN MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER IS USED

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and transmitters, and wait 60 seconds.

2. Insert the batteries in the first transmitter.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries in the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tine will sound. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If these information are not displayed on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature and humidity data from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be displayed on the Weather Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units

and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries in the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature and humidity readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the Weather Station.

Note :

User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45 seconds after the Weather Station displays the information of the first transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries in the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor data are displayed on the Weather Station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.

Note :

User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45 seconds after the Weather Station displays the information of the first transmitter. Or immediately after reception of the second transmitter is finished.

8. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, the distance between the Weather Station and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet (100 meters) (see notes on “Positioning” and

“915 MHz Reception”).

IMPORTANT:

Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.

Note:

• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency of

915MHz for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If it is still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done during re-synchronization.

• When the weather station is receiving the WWVB time signal, the

outdoor transmitter data signal will temporarily not be received by the weather station. During this short period of time, the outdoor readings shown on the weather station will not be renewed until the WWVB time signal is successfully received.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station uses 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment cover.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMOHYGRO TRANSMITTER

The Thermo-hygro transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC, LR6,

1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the cover.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace the battery cover.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is due to a random security code assigned by the transmitter at start-up. This code must be received and stored by the Weather Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to the transmitter.

BATTERY CHANGE:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life see Specifications below).

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot.

RESETTING

The Weather Station and the Thermo-hygro transmitter need to be reset when one of the following conditions occur:

• Unsuccessful 915MHz signal reception.

• Malfunction on the units.

• Batteries replacement.

For resetting, remove all batteries from the units. Wait at least for 1 minute before powering up the Weather station again. Proceed from step 1 in

“Setting Up”.

ATOMIC TIME - WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.

The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call (303)499-7111. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for every second. It is possible that your wireless weather station will not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

2. Once the MIN or MAX data is displayed, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds to reset the respective MIN or MAX record to current temperature and humidity data, and current time, date display.

Note: The MIN or MAX data needs to be reset individually.

WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY: WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:

Weather icons in the third section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations:

FORECAST

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.

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.

Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).

If the Weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the weather forecast for the next 12-24

FORECAST

hours. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.

WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right sides of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.

Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.

Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.

AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND)

The third section of the LCD also shows the relative air pressure value and the air pressure history.

The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 24 hours in 7 steps, 0h, -3h, -6h, -9h, -12h, -18h, and -24h. The “0h” represents the current full hour air pressure recording. The columns represent the “hPa” (0, ±2, ±4, ±6) at specific time. The “0” in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each change (±2, ±4, ±6) represents how high or low in “hPa“ the past pressure was compared to the current pressure.

If the bars are rising it means that the weather is getting better due to the increase of air pressure. If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse from the present time “0h“.

Note:

For accurate barometric pressure trends, the Weather Station should operate at the same altitude for example, it should not be moved from the

Air pressure over the last 24 hours

ground to the second floor of the house. Should the unit be moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12-24 hours.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY DATA

The fourth LCD section shows the outdoor temperature and humidity, the reception indicator, the transmitter identification number and the MIN/MAX outdoor data.

Outdoor temperature in °C/ °F

MIN icon

Outdoor transmitter identification number

Outdoor relative humidity in RH%

TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE OUTDOOR DATA

1. To toggle between the outdoor current, MAX/MIN temperature and

humidity data and the times (for temperature data only) they were recorded press the OUT/+ key: Once to show the MAX outdoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Twice to show the MIN outdoor temperature and humidity data with the recorded time and date. Three times to return to the current displayed values.

2. Once the MIN or MAX data is displayed, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds to reset the respective MIN or MAX record to current temperature and humidity data, and current time, date display.

Note: The MIN or MAX data needs to be reset individually.

TO VIEW THE MIN/MAX DATA FROM DIFFERENT TRANSMITTERS

When more than 1 transmitter used:

1. To toggle between transmitters, press the SNOOZE/CH key: Once to show transmitter 2 Twice to show transmitter 3 Three times to return to transmitter 1

2. Use OUT/+ key to view the MIN/MAX temperature and humidity data for the selected transmitter.

3. To reset the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity data, and the times at which they were recorded, press the SET key continuously for about 3 seconds. This will reset the MIN/MAX data recorded to the current time, date, temperature and humidity. The current time taken is the normal displayed time and does not regard the time zone set for the unit.

Note: the MIN/MAX data for each transmitter needs to be reset separately.

BACK-LIGHT

The back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light will be switched on for approximately 8 seconds before automatically switching OFF.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.

ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

The range of the Thermo-hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitters. Also the batteries may be reduced in power for the Thermo-hygro transmitter.

CHECKING FOR 915MHz RECEPTION

If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display always show “- -. -” in the outdoor section of the Weather station during normal operation), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Weather station or transmitters should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2. Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the 915MHz-signal frequency may prevent correct signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz-signal frequency can also cause interference.

Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “Setting up” above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.

The transmission range is around 330 feet (100 meters) from the Thermohygro transmitter to the Weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see “Setting up” above).

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:

The weather station has been designed to be hang on a wall or free standing.

For free standing:

Simply attached the stand to the bottom of the unit and place onto a flat surface.

To wall mount

Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature and humidity values can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount:

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by about 0.2” (5mm).

2. Hang it onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.

POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The thermo-hygro transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the sensor.

To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the sensor onto the bracket.

Note:

Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor

temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the sensor(s) or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as

these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

• Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries,

burns, or property damage may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a long period of time.

SETTING UP:

When one Sensor is used

1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the temperature sensor“).

2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Temperature Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the

time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.

3. After inserting the batteries into the sensor, the Temperature Station will start

receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, there should be no more

than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature

Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions—but may take up to 4 nights.

When more than one sensor is to be used

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and sensors and

wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.

2. Insert the batteries to the first sensor.

3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries into to the

Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will

light up briefly. Following time as 12:00 and the indoor temperature will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be displayed

on the Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the battery into the second sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)

the reading form the first sensor is shown on LCD.

6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon should

then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries into the third sensor immediately after (within 10 seconds after)

ithe reading from the second sensor is shown on LCD.

8. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be

displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step

9. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be a distance of no

more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).

Note:

• Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as

described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.

• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45

seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.

10. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Temperature

Station, the WWVB time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions.

IMPORTANT:

• Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as

described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.

• If after 10 minutes, the Atomic auto-set time (WWVB time) has not been received,

press the SET key to manually enter a time initially.

• Daily WWVB reception is attempted at full hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If the

reception is successful, there will no reception attempt until the following day. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. (Please refer also to notes on “Atomic auto-set

time - WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”).

BATTERY INSTALLATION

ATOMIC TIME - WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Temperature Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The wireless weather station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.

Wireless Temperature Station may not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

915 MHz RECEPTION

The Temperature Station should receive the temperature data within 5 minutes after set-up. If the temperature data is not received 5 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the outdoor display shows “- - -” ), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the Temperature Station or sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet

(1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2. Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of

metal window frames.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the

same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can

also cause interference.

Note:

When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the sensor or Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up

above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the sensor to the Temperature Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).

MOUNTING

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:

The Temperature Station has been designed to be hung onto wall or free standing.

To wall mount

Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine . Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations.

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by about 5mm.

2. Remove the stand from the Temperature Station by pulling it away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.

Free standing

With the stand, the Temperature Station can be placed onto any flat surface.

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

The sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the sensor.

To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the sensor onto the bracket.

Note:

Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the sensors or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause

damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

• When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use

solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.

• Do not submerge the unit in water.

• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace

only with new batteries of the recommended type.

• Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of

PUESTA EN FUNCIONAMIENTO:

Cuando se utiliza solamente un Sensor

1. Primero, inserte las pilas en el Sensor (lea las instrucciones sobre “Como in stalar y cambiar las pilas en el Sensor de Temperatura” anotadas más adelante).

2. Inmediatamente después y dentro de un periodo de 30 segundos, coloque las pilas en la estación (lea las instrucciones sobre “Como instalar y Cambiar las pilas en la Estación”). Una vez que las pilas estén en su sitio, todos los segmentos de la

pantalla LCD se iluminarán brevemente. Luego se visualizarán los datos de la temperatura en interiores y la hora en las 12:00. Si estos datos no son visualizados después de 60 segundos, retire las pilas y espere por lo menos un minuto antes de reinsertarlas nuevamente.

3. Después de instalar las pilas en el Sensor, la estación empezará a recibir los datos del Sensor a distancia. Luego deberán visualizarse en la pantalla de la estación los datos de la temperatura exterior y el icono de la señal de recepción. Si esto no sucede después de 3 minutos, las pilas de ambas unidades deberán ser retiradas y las unidades deberán ser reinstaladas nuevamente desde el paso 1.

4. Recuerde que con el fin de asegurar una buena transmisión de la señal de 915MHz, la distancia de ubicación de las unidades bajo buenas condiciones de transmisión no debe ser superior a 330 pies (100 metros), contando la posición final entre la estación y el Sensor (lea las instrucciones sobre “Montaje/Instalación” y la señal de Recepción “915MHz”).

5. Una vez que la estación reciba y visualice los datos de la temperatura en exteriores, automáticamente se inicia la recepción de la radio señal de la hora WWVB. Esto habitualmente toma entre 3-5 minutos en buenas condiciones.

Cuando se va a utilizar más de un Sensor

1. El usuario debe retirar las pilas de la estación y el Sensor y esperar 60 segundos si

ya se ha hecho la instalación de un Sensor anteriormente.

2. Ponga las pilas en el primer sensor.

3. En un periodo de 30 segundos después de haber puesto las pilas en el primer

transmisor, ponga las pilas en la Estación de Temperatura. Una vez que las pilas estén en su sitio, todas las secciones de la pantalla se iluminarán brevemente. Acto seguido muestra los datos de la temperatura interior y la hora en las 12:00. Si estos datos no son mostrados en pantalla después de un minuto, quite las pilas y espere por lo menos un minuto antes de volver a colocarlas.

4. Luego deben visualizarse en la estación los datos de la temperatura exterior del

primer sensor (canal 1). También el símbolo de la señal de recepción titila en la pantalla. Si estos datos no son mostrados en pantalla después de 2 minutos, quite las pilas de ambas unidades y vuelva a comenzar desde el paso 1.

5. Tan pronto como se vean en la pantalla de la estación los datos de la temperatura

exterior del primer transmisor, ponga las pilas en el segundo sensor.

Nota: Las pilas del segundo sensor deben ser puestas 10 segundos después de la recepción de los datos del primer sensor.

6. Luego se deben ver en la pantalla de la estación los datos de la temperatura exterior del segundo sensor y el símbolo del "canal 2". Si estos datos no son mostrados en pantalla después de 2 minutos, quite las pilas de ambas unidades y vuelva a comenzar desde el paso 1

7. Tan pronto como se vean en la pantalla de la estación los datos de la temperatura exterior del segundo sensor y símbolo del "canal 2", ponga las pilas en el tercer sensor. Luego, dos minutos después se deben ver en la pantalla los datos en exteriores del tercer transmisor y el símbolo del canal debe devolverse al número "1", una vez que se reciban correctamente los datos del tercer sensor. Si estos datos no son recibidos, debe reinstalar las unidades desde el paso 1 nuevamente.

Nota: Las pilas del tercer sensor deben ser puestas 10 segundos después de la recepción de los datos del segundo sensor.

8. Con el fin de asegurar una buena transmisión de la señal de 915 MHz, la distancia de ubicación de las unidades bajo buenas condiciones de transmisión no debe ser superior a 330 pies (100 metros), contando la posición final entre la estación y el Sensor (lea las instrucciones sobre “Montaje” y la señal de “Recepción de 915 MHz”).

Nota:

Después de instalar los Sensores, el usuario debe verificar las lecturas de la estación y compararlas con las lecturas que aparecen en cada Sensor, con el fin de reconocer claramente en que canal se presentan los datos de cada Sensor.

Si la señal de recepción no se puede recibir bajo la primera frecuencia de (915MHz) durante 45 segundos, la señal de frecuencia cambia a 920MHz y vuelve a intentar la recepción durante otros 45 segundos. Si aún así no es posible, se intentará nuevamente la recepción durante otros 45 segundos bajo la frecuencia de 910MHz. Este proceso también se hace al resincronizar la unidad.

IMPORTANTE:

Se pueden presentar problemas de transmisión si la instalación de los sensores adicionales no se hace tal como se indicó anteriormente. En caso de cualquier problema de transmisión retire las pilas de todas las unidades y empiece nuevamente el proceso de instalación desde el paso 1.

10. Una vez que la estación reciba y visualice los datos de la temperatura en exteriores, automáticamente se inicia la recepción de la radio señal de la hora WWVB. Esto habitualmente toma entre 6-8 minutos en buenas condiciones.

Nota:

Si después de 10 minutos, la señal de la hora WWVB no es recibida, pulse la tecla SET para poner la hora manualmente. Diariamente se hace un intento de recepción de la señal WWVB cada hora entre la medianoche (12:00 am) y las seis de la madrugada (6:00 am). Si la señal de recepción no

es recibida correctamente, no se hará ningún otro intento de recepción hasta el día siguiente a la misma hora. Cuando la señal de recepción es recibida correctamente, se borrará la hora puesta manual y cambiará a la hora de la radio-señal. La fecha también es actualizada junto con la hora recibida. (Por favor refiérase las instrucciones sobre “La

radio- señal de la hora WWVB” y “Configuración Manual de la Hora”).

INSTALLACION DE LAS PILAS

INSTALACION Y CAMBIO DE LAS PILAS EN LA ESTACION DE LA TEMPERATURA

La estación requiere 2 pilas del tipo AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V. Para instalar y cambiar las pilas, por favor siga los siguientes pasos:

1. Retire la cubierta que esta en la parte trasera de la estación.

2. Instale las pilas siguiendo los signos de polaridad indicados (vea las marcaciones).

3. Vuelva a colocar la cubierta.

INSTALACION Y CAMBIO DE LAS PILAS EN EL SENSOR DE TEMPERATURA

La Sensor de Temperatura utiliza 2 baterías AA, IEC LR6, de 1.5V. Para instalar y cambiar las pilas, por favor siga los siguientes pasos:

1. Quite la tapa.

2. Inserte las baterías observando la polaridad correcta.

3. Vuelva a colocar la tapa de la batería en la unidad y asegúrela reatornillando nuevamente.

Nota:

Cuando cambie las pilas en alguna de las unidades, todas las unidades del sistema necesitarán ser reajustadas/reconfiguradas siguiendo los pasos descritos para la puesta en funcionamiento. Esto se debe a que el Sensor asigna un código de seguridad aleatorio en el momento del inicio de su funcionamiento. Este código debe ser recibido y almacenado por la estación de la temperatura en los 3 primeros minutos después de haberle puesto las pilas.

CAMBIO DE LAS PILAS:

Se recomienda cambiar las pilas en todas las unidades con regularidad para asegurar una optima exactitud de todas estas unidades (refiérase a las Especificaciones Técnicas anotadas más adelante).

LA HORA RADIO CONTROLADA WWVB

El NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB está ubicado en Ft. Collins, Colorado y transmite continuamente la señal de la hora y la fecha exactas a una frecuencia de 60 kHz en todo el territorio de los Estados Unidos. La señal puede ser recibida hasta una distancia o radio de 2,000 millas (3 200 Km.) con la ayuda de la antena incorporada en la Estación Meteorológica. Sin embargo, la recepción está muy limitada durante las horas diurnas debido a la naturaleza de la Ionosfera de la Tierra. La Estación Meteorológica buscará la señal durante la noche cuando se dan las mejores condiciones para recibir una buena recepción. La estación de radio WWVB deriva su señal de la estación del reloj Atómico NIST de Boulder, Colorado. Un equipo de físicos atómicos miden continuamente cada segundo de cada día hasta lograr una exactitud de diez billonésimos de segundo por día. Estos físicos

han creado una norma o estándar internacional, midiendo un segundo como 9,192,631,770 vibraciones de un átomo de Césium-133 al vacío. Para obtener mayor información sobre la señal WWVB y el reloj atómico, por favor visite nuestro sitio en la red del NIST, en la siguiente dirección: http ://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. Para escuchar la hora del reloj NIST, llame al (303)499-71 11. Este núme ro lo conectará a una contestadora automática que le dará la hora, anunciada en el último minuto en “Coordinación con la Hora Universal”, el cual también es conocido como la Hora del Meridiano de Greenwich (GMT). Esta hora no sigue el cambio de hora por cambio de estación. Al llegar al minuto cerrado, se escuchará un tono por cada segundo. Es posible que su estación no tenga los segundos exactos debido a las variaciones en el cuarzo. Sin embargo, el reloj ajustará el horario del cuarzo en el transcurso de varios días para tener una total exactitud, bajo 0.10 segundos por día.

RECEPCION DE LA SEÑAL DE 915 MHz

La estación de la temperatura debe recibir los datos de la temperatura exterior dentro de 5 minutos después de la puesta en funcionamiento. Si los datos de la temperatura no son recibidos 5 minutos después de la puesta en marcha (si continuamente no puede recibir la señal de recepción la sección de datos en exteriores muestra el símbolo “- - -” ), por favor verifique los siguientes puntos:

1. La estación o el Sensor deben ser colocados a una distancia mínima de por lo

menos 1.5 a 2 metros entre cualquier fuente de interferencia y su lugar de ubicación, de aparatos tales como monitores de ordenadores o televisores.

2. Evite poner la estación de temperatura en marcos de ventanas metálicas o en sus

alrededores.

3. La utilización de otros productos eléctricos como auriculares o altavoces que operen

con la misma frecuencia de radio de (915MHz) puede causar interferencia en la transmisión o recepción correctas de la señal.

4. Vecinos que usen aparatos eléctricos que operan con la misma señal de frecuencia

de 915MHz también pueden causar interferencia.

Nota:

Cuando la señal de la hora 915MHz es recibida correctamente, no vuelva a abrir la tapa de las pilas del Sensor o de la estación, porque las pilas pueden quedar por fuera de los contactos y pueden llevarlo a hacer un reajuste innecesario de las unidades. Si esto
