Setting up the devices

First install the batteries in the outdoor sensor.

Failure to observe the following warnings can result

in injuries or property damage.

When choosing where to position the weather station, make sure that it is not

exposed to direct sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. Do not place the devices close to sources of heat, e.g. radiators. Otherwise they may be damaged.

Do not place the devices on valuable or sensitive surfaces unless these are

appropriately protected. Otherwise they may be damaged.

Please ensure that neighboring devices are not operated at the same frequency

of 433 MHz. These types of devices may interfere with the radio connection.

18 US-EN

282650_aur_Funk-Wetterstation_Content_US.indd 18 14.02.17 14:19

Do not place the devices next to or on metal plates. Otherwise the quality of

radio wave transmission may be reduced.

Do not install the devices in buildings made of reinforced concrete, e.g. airports,

high-rise buildings, factories or cellars. Otherwise the transmission of the radio waves between the devices may be severely impaired.

Preparing to use the outdoor sensor

Remove the battery cover from the back of the outdoor sensor. Remove the battery insulation strip. The outdoor sensor is now ready for use

and the control LED

Close the battery cover.

Installing the Outdoor Sensor: Note: You will need an electric drill for this step.

19 US-EN

282650_aur_Funk-Wetterstation_Content_US.indd 19 14.02.17 14:19

Use the included drill template (shown on the fold-out page) intended for mark-

ing drill holes.

Preparing the weather station for use

Removing the battery insulation strip:

Open the battery compartment 40 on the back of the weather station. Remove the battery insulation strip. Then close the battery compartment.

As soon as the battery insulation strip has been removed the weather station will start receiving radio signal.

Note: Do not move the weather station while it is receiving the signal. This may disrupt reception.

Connecting the weather station with the outdoor sensor and the WWVB radio signal:

After removing the battery insulation strip the weather station will attempt to establish a connection with the outdoor sensor. This process can take a few minutes. The symbol will keep ﬂashing for a few minutes. After successfully connecting with the outdoor sensor, the selected channel symbol the channel of the outdoor sensor (if necessary you can change the channel of the

20 US-EN

will appear in the LC display with

282650_aur_Funk-Wetterstation_Content_US.indd 20 14.02.17 14:19

outdoor sensor as shown under “Setting the channel”). If the connection with the outdoor sensor is not established automatically, this can be done manually as follows:

1. Press the channel button (CH)

. The icon of the selected channel 27 will ﬂash

in the LC display.

2. Then press the sensor RESET button

As soon as the weather station has established a connection with the outdoor sensor it automatically begins to receive the WWVB radio signal. This process takes several minutes and is indicated in the LC display by a ﬂashing radio tower symbol

When the WWVB radio signal is being successfully received, the radio tower symbol is shown permanently in the display. If the product cannot synchronize with the atomic clock during setup, you can also set the clock manually (“Setting the 12 / 24 Hour mode / °C / °F / hPa / inHg / Time zone / time / date / language manually”).

Radio signal (WWVB):

The WWVB signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time pulses emitted by one of the most accurate clocks in the world close to Fort Collins, Colorado.

Reception of the radio signal generally takes 3–10 minutes. Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). In the event of reception problems, change the position of the weather station (e.g. to somewhere near a window).

21 US-EN

282650_aur_Funk-Wetterstation_Content_US.indd 21 14.02.17 14:19

Operation

Receiving the WWVB radio time signal

After connecting with the outdoor sensor or 3 minutes after the battery insulation strip is removed, the weather station automatically begins to search for the WWVB radio signal. The LC display will show a ﬂashing radio tower symbol process. Note: In buildings made of reinforced concrete the reception of the radio signal may be severely impaired (see “Setting up the devices”). In order to correct any deviations from the exact time, the clock is automatically synchronized with the WWVB radio signal every day at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00. The weather station’s reception of the WWVB radio signal can also be initiated manually.

Press the + and – button 35, 36 at the same time. The weather station attempts

to receive the WWVB radio signal. This process takes several minutes and is indicated in the LC display by a ﬂashing radio tower symbol.

If the connection with the WWVB radio signal cannot be established, the search is stopped. Note: If the clock of the weather station cannot receive the WWVB radio signal due to errors, the distance to the transmitter or similar reasons, the time may also be set

22 US-EN
