6 3. Setup Guide 3.1 Battery Installation: Note: To avoid operating problems, please take note of battery polarity before/when inserting any Alkaline Batteries (permanent damaged could be introduced by inserting the battery in wrong direction). Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1) Insert two AAA batteries into the remote sensor. 2) Insert three AA batteries into the weather station straight afterward. 3) Within 3 minutes (but probably sooner) the outdoor temperature should be received by the weather station. Do not press any keys before the outdoor sensor data is received. 4) Once the outdoor connection has been established, mount the units ensuring that the receiver can still pick up the signal from the transmitter. Position the remote sensor at the desired location indoors/outdoors and it will transmit the temperature from its location. Every time the remote sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries) a random security code is transmitted that must be synchronized with the base station to receive weather data. Therefore, if the batteries from the remote sensor were changed, then the display console must also be powered up again to re-learn the transmitter so it can receive data. The most effective way to do this is to remove all batteries from both parts, wait one minute with both units unpowered, then re-insert all batteries again within a 30-second time period. When the display console is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light-up for 3 seconds before it enters learning-mode in order to identify the remote sensors security code. Following this period, the base station will then start the DCF radio controlled time reception. The console will commence Radio-Controlled Clock reception period and no weather data will be received during this period of time. If the RCC signal can t be found within 1 minute, the search process will be cancelled and will automatically re-attempt every two hours until the signal is successfully received. The regular radio-frequency link will be resumed once the RCC reception routine has been completed. 05

7 3.1 Battery Installation Continued: Note: Please make sure not to press any keys during the initial learning-period if a key is pressed before the station receives the temperature signal, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again. Please wait 10 seconds before re-inserting the batteries in order to ensure both the transmitter and receiver have been allowed to completely reset. Note for Radio Controlled Time: The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the highly accurate government operated atomic clock based in Frankfurt, Germany. The display console will continue to scan for the radio controlled time signal each day, even if the time has been set manually. If this reception has been unsuccessful, the radio controlled time icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted continually. If reception has been successful, the received time and date will overwrite the manually-set time and date. If after setting the time manually it appears to then jump forward, it is possible that the unit has received the radio-controlled time and overwritten the manual time setting. If this happens, please check the Time Zone setting, as you may need to adjust this to compensate for international time difference. To do this, press and hold the SET key until the time changes to a flashing single digit (this will display 0 by default). Then, press either the + or MIN/MAX key to change the time zone setting up and down accordingly. Note: When batteries require replacement for the display console the low battery indicator will light up on the LCD. 3.2 Sensor Installation: 1) Display Console Using the foldable legs at the back of the unit, the base station can be placed onto any flat surface. It can also be wall mounted at the desired position by using the hanging holes also found at the back of the unit. It s important to check that the radio signal can be received successfully before permanently mounting either of the units. 06

8 3.2 Sensor Installation Continued: 2) Remote sensor Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, please try to avoid mounting the remote sensor in direct sunlight. The outer casing of the sensor could potentially heat up and then take time to cool again, resulting in false temperature readings. We recommend that you install the remote sensor on an outside North-facing wall. Remember that some obstacles such as thick walls, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the transmission range. To wall mount, use 3 screws to fix the wall bracket to the desired wall and then simply plug the remote sensor into the bracket. 4.

10 4.1 Weather Forecasting: The four weather icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy are used for weather forecasting. There are also two weather tendency indicators to show the air pressure tendency between the displayed weather icons. The weather forecasting is calculated from the changing air pressure. 4.2 Weather Tendency Indicator: The weather tendency indicator arrow is located between the weather icons to show the air pressure tendency and to provide a forecast of the upcoming weather. The rightward arrow means that the air pressure is increasing and weather is expected to generally become better. The leftward arrow means that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse. The weather forecast icon is in accordance with the calculation between the current relative-pressure and the on-going pressure change over the last six hours. If a change is occurring, the weather tendency indicator (animated arrows) will be flashing for three hours indicating that a change in the weather is underway. If weather conditions have then become stable and no new weather change conditions are met, the arrows will be fixed. 4.3 Examples of Changing Weather Icons: 4.4 Storm Warning Indicator: The storm threshold can be set to suit the user s requirement for storm forecasting, from a sensitivity of between 3-9hPa (default 2hPa). Areas that experience frequent changes in air pressure generally require a higher setting compared to an area where the air pressure is calmer. For example, if 4hPa is selected there must be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 4hPa before the weather station will register this as a change in weather. 09

11 5. Program Mode The display console uses five keys for operation: SET, ALARM, MIN/MAX, + and SNOOZE/LIGHT. There are also four program modes available: Quick Display Mode, Setting Mode, Alarm Mode and Min/Max Mode.

When changing the unit setting, the value will convert accordingly but may cause resolution loss due to the internal calculation-algorithm. 5.3 Setting Calibrated Humidity: The display console allows you to calibrate both the indoor and outdoor humidity. Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure accurately and drifts over time - the calibration feature allows you to compensate for this. To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer or whirling hygrometer. To calibrate indoor humidity - In the Setup Mode with the indoor humidity flashing, press the + key or the MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the known humidity source. To return the indoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. To calibrate outdoor humidity - In the Setup Mode with the outdoor humidity flashing, press the + key or MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the known humidity source. To return the outdoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. Note: The remote thermo-hygrometer will always display the measured humidity level and not the calibrated humidity level. Only the console will show this calibrated value. Note: The dew point calculation is based on the calibrated humidity level. 14

16 5.4 Setting Barometric Pressure: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to height above sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure is generally higher than your measured pressure. Therefore your absolute pressure may read inhg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is inhg (1016 mb). The standard sea-level pressure is in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than inhg (1013 mb) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than inhg are considered low pressure. To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as weather.com or wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station. To change this, while the relative pressure is flashing press the + key or MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the relative pressure setting to match the official reporting station. 5.5 Alarm Mode: - While in Normal Mode press the ALARM key to enter the High Alarm Mode - Press the ALARM key again to enter Low Alarm mode After the initial pressing of the ALARM key the display will be refreshed to show current high and low alarm value. The alarm value will be displayed only for those already activated - all non-activated values will display --- instead. 15

17 5.5 Alarm Mode Continued: - While In the High Alarm Mode, press the SET key to scroll through the following alarm modes: 1. Time alarm (hour/minute) 2. Indoor humidity/high alarm 3. Indoor temperature high alarm 4. Outdoor humidity high alarm 5. Outdoor temperature and dew point high alarm 6. Pressure high alarm - In the Low Alarm mode press the SET key to scroll through the following alarm modes: 1. Time alarm (hour/minute) 2. Indoor humidity low alarm 3. Indoor temperature low alarm 4. Outdoor humidity low alarm 5. Outdoor temperature and dew point low alarm 6. Pressure low alarm - When the desired alarm mode is selected, press the + key or MIN/MAX key change or toggle the alarm value. Holding the + key or MIN/MAX key for 3 seconds will change the figure in larger amounts. Press the ALARM key to then choose if the alarm is on or off (if the alarm is enabled, the speaker icon on the LCD will be displayed to indicate this). Press the SET key to confirm the setting and continue pressing the SET key to toggle through the remaining alarm modes until it returns to the normal display mode. - Remember - you can press SNOOZE/LIGHT key or leave the keys alone for 10 seconds at any time and the alarm mode will return to Normal Mode. Cancelling the Temperature Alarms a. When an alarm condition has been met, that particular alarm will sound and flash for 120 seconds. At this point, simply press any key to mute the alarm. If the alarm condition is activated again within 10 minutes, the alarm will not sound again but will continue to flash until weather conditions have stabilized. This feature will prevent repeated alarms sounding for the same value being triggered in a short period of time. b. The alarm will then reactivate automatically once the value has fallen below the set limit or if a new value is entered instead. 16

18 5.5 Alarm Mode Continued: The Outdoor Weather Alarm When an outdoor weather alarm has been triggered it will flash on the LCD display. The primary outdoor alarm icon and high/low alarm icon will also flash accordingly. For example, in the outdoor temperature display mode when then dew point high alarm is triggered, the DEW POINT icon will flash along with the outdoor & high alarm icons, confirming that the current alarm is relating to high dew point. 5.6 Moon Phase: The following moon phases are displayed based on the calendar date. 17

21 6. Support Problem Cause Remedy My stations clock is an hour fast. Your time zone is set to default. TO SET THE TIME ZONE You will need to set the time zone. 1) Press and hold the SET button for at least 10 seconds. 2) The time zone will be the first option. 3) When it is flashing 0, press the MIN/MAX button until it shows -1. 4) Leave your station for the changes to be set. My sensor is not transmitting to the console. There are a few causes: Too much distance between the two parts. Interference from other sources (wireless radio, speaker etc.). Loss of signal. Reduce the distance. Find a different location for the sensor or console away from units with the same frequency. Reset the whole unit. TO RESET THE WHOLE STATION 1) Place the console and sensor next to each other and take all batteries out of both parts. 2) Leave the console overnight powered down without batteries. 3) In the morning reinsert the batteries into the sensor first then straight away place the batteries into the console. 4) Wait a few minutes; you should then see the readings show on both the console and sensor. EVERY TIME THE SENSOR IS POWERED UP A RANDOM SECURITY CODE IS TRANSMITTED AND THIS CODE MUST SYNCRONIZE WITH THE CONSOLE TO RECEIVE WEATHER DATA. 20

22 Support Continued Problem Cause Remedy My weather tendency is not showing any change or is changing too often. The number in which your barometric pressure threshold is set to is too low or too high. You will need to set the barometric pressure threshold. I cannot reset my Minimum and Maximum values. TO CHANGE THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE THRESHOLD 1) Press and hold the Set button for at least 10 seconds. 2) Press the Set button to scroll through the options until the relative pressure setting display changes to a single number. 3) The pressure threshold is defaulted to 2hPa. Check that this is what is displayed the range is 2-4hPa. The lower the number, the less it will take to detect a change in pressure. The higher the number, the more pressure will need to change to alter the weather tendency. 4) Use Min/Max and the + buttons to change the barometric threshold. You will need to use these following steps. TO CHANGE THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE THRESHOLD 1) Press the Min/Max button - once for Maximum values and twice for Minimum. The values will then start to flash. 2) Press the + button to scroll through the values. 3) Press and hold the Set button for the value you want to reset. 4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 for all values you want to reset. 5) Leave your station and it will return to normal mode. 21
