What exactly is a Weather Station?

Lexibookdigital stations measure not only the time in progress – thanks to their built-in clock- but also the
actual and upcoming weather.

The MeteoClock SM1600 incorporates the following functions:

- Thermometer:
The temperature is displayed in real time to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Thanks to its wireless
sensor, the station can detect from a distance the outdoor temperature or that of another room.

- Hygrometer:
Outdoor or indoor hygrometry is expressed in percentage of humidity in the ambient air. The ideal ‘Comfort
Zone’ for the human body ranges from 35 to 65% hygrometry for a given temperature between 18 and 24

o

C.

- Barometer:
The station also monitors the atmospheric pressure in real time. It displays the weather forecast by means of
animated icons (sun, clouds, rain...) and for the next 8 to 12 hours.

And many extra features:

- Wide screen

- Large digital display

- Animated icons

- Extreme weather alerts

- Wall Mount Holder

- Detachable table stand

Setting the remote sensor

Unscrew the battery cover and insert batteries to begin the settings.

HOUSE CODE will flash for 8 seconds.

Select HOUSE CODE (1-15) by pressing °C/°F and then press SET.

Select CHANNEL (1-3) by pressing °C/°F and then press SET. The

channel function allows the receiver to identify each remote sensor. Each receiver

can receive up to 3 different remote channels. The preferred channel number (1, 2 or 3) for

each individual remote sensor can be assigned. However, channel 1 is used for collecting data

from outdoor and activating the weather forecast symbols. If you only have one remote sensor,

please set it at channel 1 and place it outdoors.

The SM1600 comes with one receiver and one remote sensor. If you wish to buy additional sensors

Use a different house code if your weather station detects other signals from neighbouring sources.

Else, use default settings: house code = 01 and channel = 01

Fixing your remote sensor and receiver

The remote sensor has a detachable cover with both a wall mount holder and a stand (for an image,

refer to the layout section). To fix on a wall, make sure the stand is not pulled out and fix the holder

on a hook or nail. To fix the stand on a shelf or table, simply pull it out and make sure it is well secu-

red. The remote sensor should be fixed on a smooth surface to prevent altering the range of the date

transmission. To ensure a good transmission, the remote sensor should not installed on or near a

large metal surface. Before choosing the location of the remote sensor, test that the receiver can

receive the signals. It is also recommended that the remote sensor is placed as close as possible to

the receiver to eliminate any interference.

The receiver also has a wall mount holder and a stand. To place it, use the same precautions as for

the remote sensor.

Automatic Learn Function

1 - Learn function executes automatically and runs for

approximately 3 minutes when the batteries are first

installed in the receiver.

2 - Within these 3 minutes, the receiver picks up the tem-

perature & humidity signals from the remote sensor and

displays the readings.

Manual-Learn (Searching for Remote Signals)

If a new remote sensor is added or if the signal is lost (outdoor display blinking), the learn function
must be executed again.
