INTRODUCTION:

Thank you for choosing this this professional temperature and humidity
data logger from TFA.

BEFORE YOU USE IT

Please be sure to read the instruction manual carefully.
This information will help you to familiarise yourself with your new device,
learn all of its functions and parts, find out important details about its first
use and how to operate it, and get advice in the event of faults.
Following the instruction manual for use will prevent damage to the
device and loss of your statutory rights arising from defects due to
incorrect use. We shall not be liable for any damage occurring as a result
of not following these instructions. As well we shall not be liable for any
incorrect readings and any consequences that occur should an
inaccurate reading take place.

Please take particular note of the safety advice!
Please look after this manual for future reference.

FIELD OF OPERATION

This device allows you to make detailed recordings of the temperature
and humidity and to actively monitor them. Recorded data can be
transferred to a computer using a USB transceiver for easy analysis. The
supplied software can also be used for managing the logger and can be
used purely as windows service to provide datasets to your own software
application. The logger is able to use up to eight outdoor transmitters.

For your safety:

 The product is exclusively intended for the field of application

described above. The product should only be used as described
within these instructions.

 Unauthorised repairs, modifications or changes to the product are

prohibited.

Caution!
Risk of injury:

 Keep this instrument and the batteries out of reach of children.
 Batteries must not be thrown into the fire, short-circuited, taken

apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!

 Batteries contain harmful acids. Low batteries should be changed

as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by a leaking
battery. Never use a combination of old and new batteries together
or batteries of different types. Wear chemical-resistant protective
gloves and glasses when handling leaked batteries.

! Important information on product safety!

 Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as

these may cause damage to the units and give inaccurate
readings.

 Protect from moisture.Do not submerge the units in water
 Avoid placing the instrument near interference sources/metal

frames such as computer or TV sets.

ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER (purchased separately)

You have the possibility to receive up to eight additional external
transmitters with your KlimaLogg Pro. These are separately available in
specialist shops.

INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERIES:

Note:

If you have purchased external transmitters, you should insert the

batteries into the transmitters just before into the KlimaLogg Pro. For

more information, please have a look at the chapter “transmitters” of this

manual or refer the instruction manual of the transmitter.

The instrument operates with three 1,5 V batteries Type Mignon AA.
For installation and replacement of the batteries, 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 the batteries, pay
attention to their correct polarity.

3. Insert compartment cover and
close it.

FIRST INSTALLATION:

When the KlimaLogg Pro is powered up, a short beep will sound and all
LCD segments will light up.

The KlimaLogg Pro shows the current temperature and humidity values.

“INDOOR” is displayed in the text field, and 00:00:00 and 01.01.10 are

displayed in the time and date area (the device counts up the time until
the DCF signal has been received or the time and date are manually
set).

After the KlimaLogg Pro has been started up, it searches for external
transmitters for three minutes. After a battery change, the transmitters
that were entered previously are once again assigned the channel that
had previously been assigned to them. External transmitters that had not
been previously detected are automatically entered on a available
channel.

DCF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME RECEPTION

 After the KlimaLogg Pro has searched for external transmitters for

three minutes, the device begins to search for the DCF signal
(german radio-controlled clock signal), and the DCF reception
indicator flashes. If the time code has been received after 5-10
minutes, the radio-controlled time is displayed and the DCF
reception indicator remains on the LCD.

 In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to

disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set
manually.

 The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Basic

settings/Time and calendar).

 The radio controlled clock receives the signals at 2:00 and 3:00

o'clock in the morning.

 As soon as the clock has received the DCF signal, the manually

set time will be overwritten by the DCF time.

 Note that during reception of the radio-controlled clock signal, no

communication with the USB wireless transceiver is possible or
may be briefly interrupted.

Note for Radio Controlled Time DCF:

The base for the radio controlled time is a Caesium 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 1500 km. Your Logger 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 1,500 km radius around

Frankfurt.

Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer

monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.

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 night-time, 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.
