INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR913 Digital Weather

Forecaster with Hygrometer and RF Clock. The BAR913 is an all-

in-one weather forecasting device and clock.

The BAR913, a weather forecasting device, has several weather

related functions. A main feature is that it takes and records

temperatures in more than one location. Using a wireless remote

thermo-sensor, it can simultaneously monitor temperatures in

three remote locations. The unit will show temperature trends and

record maximum and minimum temperature readings.

As part of the weather forecasting function, a built-in barometer

that displays atmospheric pressure. Using graphic illustrations

the unit displays atmospheric pressure trends and displays forecasts

as sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy.

The BAR913 is also a Radio Frequency (RF) controlled clock. It can

automatically synchronize its current time and date when it is

brought within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio signal

generated from Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77).

Included with this unit is a hygrometer. This feature graphically

illustrates the current comfort level, displays the current humidity,

and shows maximum and minimum humidity levels.

Other features of the BAR913 include, backlight, extra-large liquid

crystal display (LCD), and a daily crescendo alarm with an eight

minute snooze function.

No wire installation is required between the main and remote units.

As the BAR913 operates at 433 MHz, it can be used in the USA and

most places in Continental Europe.

inserting the batteries for the main unit.

2. Position the remote unit and the main unit within effective

transmission range. In usual circumstances, the effective range

is 30 meters.

3. Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed

away form direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION:

REMOTE UNIT

The remote unit uses two (2) UM-4 or “AAA” size batteries.

Installation:

1. Remove the outer battery compartment door.

2. Remove inner screws and open the inner clear plastic

compartment door.

3. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.

4. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.

5. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown.

6. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

1. Gently lift the tab on the battery compartment door.

2. Insert four UM-3 or “AA” size alkaline batteries.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

Note: For both the remote sensor and the main unit, replace batteries

when they are low. The [ ] battery low indicator in the outdoor

temperature window will be displayed when the batteries are low.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The BAR913 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar

clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio

signal. It will scan and adjust every full hour.

When the BAR913 is within range, its radio-control mechanism

will override all manual settings.

When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION

signal will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes

about two to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio

signal.

When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal

will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full

hour will be indicated.

For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and

electrical appliances to minimize interference.

Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press

MODE and DOWN(-) button simultaneously.

To reactivate the RF control function, press MODE and UP(+)

simultaneously.

CHECKING INDOOR AND REMOTE

SENSOR TEMPERATURES

Theindoor temperature readings,and indoor temperaturemaximum/

minimum indicator are all part of the INDOOR TEMPERATURE

window.

The OUTDOOR temperature window displays remote sensor

temperatures, maximum and minimum temperatures and outdoor

temperature trends. This window also displays the remote sensor

channels and a remote sensor battery low [ ] icon.

The temperature can be shown in Centigrade (°C) or Fahrenheit

(°F). Select the appropriate reading by using the °C/°F slide switch

(located in the battery compartment). Slide the switch to °C for

Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit.

This unit is able to measure outdoor temperatures within -50°C (-

58°F) and +70°C (+158°F) and indoor temperatures within -9.9° C

(14.2° F) and 70.° C (158.°F). If the temperature goes above or below

these amounts, the display will show a flashing “HHH” or “LLL”.

NOTE ON OUTDOOR-REMOTE

TEMPERATURE

Once batteries are in place in the remote unit, it will start

transmitting samplings at 30 second intervals.

If no signals are received when the outdoor-remote temperature is

selected, “ ” will be displayed. To force the main unit to

search for remote sensor signals, press MEMORY and CHANNEL

simultaneously.

If that fails, check that the remote sensor is still in place. Make sure

the transmission is within range and the path is clear of obstacles

and interference.

Repeat this procedure whenever you find discrepancies between

the display on the main unit and the display on the remote sensor.

NOTE ON SETTING REMOTE SENSOR

CHANNELS

The unit has an auto-scan function that sequentially displays

temperature readings of up to three remote sensors. If more than one

remote sensor is being used, set the channel before inserting the

batteries.
