GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Batteries for the remote and main units are supplied with this product. Press the RESET button whenever you change batteries.

The main unit uses:

• 3 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V batteries The thermo / hygro sensor uses:

• 2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries The optional UV sensor uses:

• 4 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries

NOTE Insert the batteries in the remote unit before you set up the main unit. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

AC ADAPTOR (MAIN UNIT)

When the main unit is plugged into the power socket or batteries are inserted for the first time, an opening animation will be shown before the Main Menu screen.

NOTE Batteries are for memory backup purposes only; the AC adaptor should power the main unit.

Connect the AC adaptor to your weather station’s AC socket located on the side of the main unit base stand.

REMOTE SENSOR (RTGR328N)

This product is shipped with a RTGR328N Thermo-Hygro Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to 6 sensors (5 Thermo-Hygro Sensors and 1 UV Sensor).

The following sensors are compatible with the main unit:

• THGR228N

• THGR238N

• THR228N

• THGR328N The RTGR328N sensor collects temperature and

humidity readings, and signals from official timekeeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock.

AWS899_EN_R19 10/26/05, 6:29 PM6

SETUP REMOTE SENSOR

1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.

2. Insert the batteries.

3. Set the channel and radio signal format. The switches are located in the battery compartment.

4. Press RESET. Then set the temperature unit.

SWITCH OPTION

Channel If you are using more than one

sensor, select a different channel for each sensor.

Radio Signal Format EU (DCF) / UK (MSF)

SWITCH OPTION

Temp ˚C / ˚F

5. Close the battery compartment and place the sensor in your desired location.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (100 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.

• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission.

You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

REMOTE SENSOR SIGNAL

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking and show the signal strength by displaying between 1 and 4 waves.

AWS899_EN_R19 10/26/05, 6:29 PM7

ICON MEANING

Searching for sensor

Sensor found

No Sensor

Press SEARCH to manually activate a search for the radio-controlled clock signal. The reception icon will blink until the clock signal is found or the search period times out.

NOTE Signals from household devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.

CLOCK

This product tracks the time and date based on radiocontrolled signals from the RTGR328N remote sensor, or manual settings that you enter.

STRONG SIGNAL

WEAK SIGNAL NO SIGNAL

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The time and date are automatically updated by radiocontrolled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England) unless you disable this feature. The signals are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N) whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

MAIN UNIT SENSOR SEARCHING

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Press and hold TEMP / HYGRO SEARCH for 2 seconds to manually activate sensor searching. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.

To view the status of the main unit’s signal with the outdoor temperature and humidity channel(s), go to the TEMP & HUMIDITY Display:

AWS899_EN_R19 10/26/05, 6:29 PM8

To view the status of the main unit’s signal with the radio-controlled clock signals, look for the icon shown in the CLOCK & ALARM Display area. It indicates 2 factors:

• Connection between the main unit and the sensor ( )

• RF signal reception ( )

How these signals work together:

ICON MEANING

The unit has contact with the sensor and has synchronized the time.

The unit has contact with the sensor but the time has not been synchronized.

The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor but the time is synchronized.

The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor and the time is not synchronized.

The unit cannot reach the remote sensor.

NOTE To force a manual search for RF clock reception, press and hold TEMP / HYGRO SEARCH on the main unit for 2 seconds.

TURN RADIO RECEPTION ON / OFF

When you are in the CLOCK & ALARM Display you can turn the reception on or off.

To turn the radio reception ON: Press and hold UP for 2 seconds.

To turn the radio reception OFF: Press and hold DOWN for 2 seconds.

Alternatively, you can turn it ON / OFF in the CLOCK Setting Mode (see relevant section).
