TRANSMITTER

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE
STATION

The temperature station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. To install and
replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

• Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to
temperature station by 868 MHz signal

• Wall mounting case

• Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and

sunshine

The temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V
batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the
steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the
transmitter.

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

3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

1. Remove the cover at the back of the
temperature station.

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

Battery replacement

• Replace the batteries of the temperature station when the battery symbol
appears above the indoor temperature display.

• When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon
appears above the outdoor temperature display.

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 because a random security code is
assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by
the temperature station in the first three minutes of power being supplied to it.

SETTING UP:

Note: This temperature station receives only one outdoor transmitter.

1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature transmitter. (see “Install and

2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into temperature

station (see “Install and replace batteries in the temperature station”).

3. Replace compartment cover.

Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly.
Following the time as 0:00 will be displayed and indoor temperature. 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, the temperature station will start receiving data
from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon
should then
after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and
reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under
good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final
position of the Temperature station and the transmitter (see notes on
“Mounting” and “868 MHz Reception”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the
temperature station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is
automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good
conditions. If after 10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, press the
SET key to manually enter a time initially.

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.

DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by
the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time
deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and
transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)

be displayed on the temperature station. If this does not happen
