Attention: after the installation, it may take several hours up to a day before the correct values are displayed. Additionally, after replacing exhausted batteries in the indoor unit, all measured the indoor unit will be erased.

3.1 Power supply:

Advice regarding batteries:

We advise you to use normal alkaline batteries of high quality for the indoor unit. Alkaline batteries with a capacity of 2000mAh have a lifespan of over one year. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended because of their lower supply voltage.

Also the outdoor unit is powered by 3 AA 1.5Volt batteries, but because normal Alkaline batteries perform poorly or not at all at temperatures of around or below 0°C, it's not recommended to use standard Alkaline batteries for the outdoor unit.

For that reason, we advise you to use Lithium batteries for the outdoor unit that are designed to function well within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. These batteries can be ordered via the service department of Alecto via www.alecto.info

Lithium batteries with a capacity of 2900mAh have a lifespan of over one year.

Indoor unit:

Slide down the battery cover at the rear of the unit and insert 3 AA 1.5V batteries according to the markings inside the battery compartment. Slide the battery cover back onto the indoor unit. (Batteries are not included) The indoor unit will now start a 1 minute scan to search for the outdoor unit. Therefore, you'll need to insert the batteries into the outdoor unit within that minute.

Outdoor unit:

Open the battery compartment by loosening the battery cover using a small crosshead screwdriver. Install 3 AA 1.5V batteries according to the picture below, paying attention to the correct polarity (+ and -). Replace the cover and fasten the screw (batteries are not included).

3.2 Pairing the indoor unit/outdoor unit:

Automatically:

As soon as you insert the batteries into the indoor unit, the indoor unit will start a 1 minute scan to search for the signal of the outdoor unit. Therefore, if you insert the batteries into the outdoor unit within that minute and the units will 'find' each other, they will be automatically paired and the display of the indoor unit will show the temperature transmitted by the outdoor unit.

Manually:

If the units cannot be paired automatically, or after replacing the batteries, you can pair the outdoor unit (again) with the indoor unit as follows:

  1. press and hold the SCAN button on the indoor unit for 2 seconds until the antenna symbol starts flashing in the display
  2. Press briefly press the RESET button on the outdoor unit
  3. the units will have found each other (again) after several seconds

3.3 Positioning: reset

Indoor unit:

You may suspend the indoor unit from a simple screw in a wall or use it as a desk model with the supplied support. In any case, never place the indoor unit in direct sunlight or next to heat radiating lights or stoves.

Outdoor unit:

You may place the outdoor unit on a flat surface (such as a fence or railing) or on top of a pole (not included). In any case, make sure the unit is placed at least 1.5 meters above the ground and ensure the unit is standing freely in the rain and wind.

Two-panel diagram showing a mechanical component with an arrow indicating motion, no text or symbols present.

Outdoor unit positioning tips:

To ensure that the rain meter is functioning as accurate as possible, the outdoor unit must be standing exactly horizontal. You can verify this by using the built-in spirit level at the top of the outdoor unit.

N >1,5m

To be able to check from which direction to wind is

coming, the outdoor unit should be aimed to the North. To do this, use the N marking on top of the outdoor unit. Use an accurate compass (not included) to properly orient the unit.

Make sure that the distance between the outdoor unit and indoor unit is no greater than 50 to 100 meters.

3.4 Clock:

Introduction

The WS-4700 is provided with a built-in DCF receiver which receives the DCF time signal from Frankfurt. This signal ensures that the clock shows the time very accurately, provided a strong enough signal is being received.

Automatically:

As soon as you insert the batteries into the indoor unit, the clock will start searching for the DCF radio signal for the time while the antenna symbol is flashing. After several seconds or minutes the WS-4700 will start showing the correct time. In extreme cases, it can take over a day before the DCF time is shown.

Manually:

If the clock cannot receive the radio signal or cannot receive it well enough, you can set the clock manually as follows:

  1. press and hold the button Ⓤ for 2 seconds, 12Hr or 24Hr will appear in the display
  2. Use v A to set the time format, then briefly press the @ button
  3. use ∨ ∧ to set the hours and then briefly press the Ⓗ button
  4. use v λ to set the minutes and then briefly press the Ⓗ button
  5. use V/A to set the seconds to 0 (this allows you to have the clock run synchronously with your own clock) and then briefly press the Ⓤbutton
  6. use ∨ ∧ to set the year and then briefly press the Ⓤbutton
  7. use ∨ ∧ to set the month and then briefly press the Ⓤ button
  8. use v A to set the date and then briefly press the @button
  9. use V/A to set the hour difference compared to the DCF time. E.g. for use in the Benelux select '0' and then briefly press the Ⓤbutton.
  10. use v/ʌ to set the language in which the day must be displayed, you may choose from: EN (English), FR (French), DE (German), ES (Spanish) or IT (Italian), now briefly press the Ⓗbutton.
  11. use V/A to determine whether the clock must switch to daylight saving time or standard time automatically (AUTO) or whether you prefer to do this manually (OFF), now briefly press the Ⓗ button. The clock is now set manually.

When the DCF receiver is enabled and a strong signal is being received, the receiver will overwrite the clock display.

Switching the DCF receiver on/off:

You can turn off the DCF receiver as follows, allowing you to have only the time and date shown on the display according to your programming:

- turn off: press and hold the RCC OFF button at the rear of the indoor unit for 8 seconds until the antenna symbol disappears.

You can turn the receiver back on as follows:

- turn on: press and hold the RCC ON button at the rear of the indoor unit for 8 seconds until the antenna symbol starts flashing.

The symbol in the upper middle part of the display shows the status of the DCF clock: no symbol: the DCF receiver is disabled; the displayed time is provided by the internal clock of the WS-4700

flashing: the DCF receiver is enabled and is searching for the DCF signal; the displayed time is provided by the internal clock of the WS-4700

remains lit: the DCF receiver is enabled and is receiving the DCF signal; the displayed time and date are provided by the DCF atomic clock in Frankfurt

3.5 To reset measurement data:

After the installation is completed, press and hold the HISTORY button for 10 seconds to delete all of the measurements made up until that moment. This ensures that you won't see any measurements at a later time that were caused by movements during the installation.
