• Wall mounting case

• Mounting at a sheltered place. A oid direct rain and

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE

TRANSMITTER

The temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V

batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the

steps below:

1. Remo e the battery compartment co er at the back of the

transmitter.

2. Insert the batteries, obser ing the correct polarity (see

marking).

3. Replace the battery compartment co er on the unit.

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:

1. Remo e the co er at the back of the

temperature station.

2. Insert batteries obser ing the correct

polarity (see marking).

3. Replace compartment co er.

Batt ry r plac m nt

• Replace the batteries of the temperature station when the battery symbol

appears abo e the indoor temperature display.

• When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon

appears abo e the outdoor temperature display.

Not :

In the e ent 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 recei ed and stored by

the temperature station in the first three minutes of power being supplied to it.

SETTING UP:

Not : This t mp ratur station r c iv s only on outdoor transmitt r.

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

r plac batt ri s in th t mp ratur transmitt r“).

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

station (see “Install and r plac batt ri s in th t mp ratur station”).

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, remo e the batteries and wait for at least

10 seconds before reinserting them.

3. After inserting the batteries, the temperature station will start recei ing data

from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon

should then

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

after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be remo ed from both units and

reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission howe er, 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 R c ption”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been recei ed 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 recei ed, press the

SET key to manually enter a time initially.

Not :

In the e ent of changing batteries of the units, ensure the batteries do not spring free

from the contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after remo ing 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

de iation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and

transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt ia frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)

and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled

temperature station recei es this signal and con erts 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.

Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the temperature station, 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 recei e it. When the time code is recei ed, the DCF tower becomes permanently

lit and the time will be displayed.

DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not

successful at 02:00 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 successful at

06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am.

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 recei ed 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 se ere and

reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to

keep the accuracy de iation below 1 second.

* When the signal is successfully recei ed by the temperature station, the outdoor

transmission icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown

on LCD). The user can then easily see whether the last reception was successful

(icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows

that a reception is currently taking place.

MANUAL SETTING

The following manual settings can be done in the setting mode:

• Manual time

• Calendar

• 12/24 hour time display

• Time zone

• Time reception ON/OFF (DCF ON/OFF)

• Temperature unit °C/°F setting

MANUAL TIME SETTING

In case the temperature station is not able to detect the DCF-signal (disturbances,

transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as

a normal Quartz clock.

1. The hour digit in the time section starts flashing. Use the MIN/MAX/+ key to

set the hour.

2. Press the SET key to enter the minutes. The minute digits start flashing.

3. Use the MIN/MAX/+ key to set the minute.

4. Press again the SET key to confirm and enter the Cal ndar s tting mode.

Not :

The unit will still try and recei e the signal despite it being manually set. When it

does recei e the signal, it will change the manually set time into the recei ed time.

CALENDAR SETTING

The date default of the temperature station is 1. 1. in the year 2008. Once the radio-

controlled time signals are recei ed, the date is automatically updated. Howe er, if

the signals are not recei ed, the date can also be set manually:
