TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-HYGRO
TRANSMITTER
The outdoor 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 battery cover at the front side with a small
screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see
battery compartment marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
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,
Battery replacement
•
Replace the batteries when the battery symbol of the temperature station
appears near the indoor humidity display.
•
When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon
appears near 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 due to a random security code
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.

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.
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. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the time
as 0:00 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 868 MHz transmission however, the distance
between the weather station and the transmitter should not be more than
100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 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 TRA NSMITTER 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. Following the indoor temperature/humidity and the
time as 0:00 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 displa yed 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.
User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45
Note :
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.
User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45
Note :
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 868 MHz transmission however, the distance
between the weather station and the transmitter should not be more than
100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 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.
DCF 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) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radiocontrolled weather station receives this signal and converts it to show the precise
time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In
normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of
Frankfurt.
DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not
successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so
on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If the reception is not
26
successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at
02:00 am.
Once the outdoor data reception test period is completed, the DCF tower icon in
the clock display will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the
clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it.
When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the
time will be displayed.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not
appear at all, then please take note of the following:
•
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors
or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received
signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close
to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
•
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and
reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to
keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
