DIGITAL WEATHER FORECASTER

WITH HY GROMETER AND

RF CLOCK MODEL : DECO-BAR USER'S MANUAL INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the IBR923 Digital Weather Forecaster with Hycromster and RF Clodk The IBR923s anall-in-one westher forecasting device and clock. The IBR923, a weather forecasting device, has several weather related functions. À 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 pat of the weather forecasting function, a built in barometer that: displays atmosphere pressure, Using graphic illustrations the unit. displays atmosphere pressure trends and displays forecasts as sumny, partiy oudy, Goudy, and rainy. TheTBR923 is also a Radio Frequency (RF) controlled dock. It can automatically synchronize its current time and date when it is brought within an approximate 1500 km radis of the radio signal generated from Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77). Included with this unit is à hygrometer, This feature graphically illustrates the current comfort level, displays the current humidity, and shows maximum and minimum humidity levels. Other features include extra large liquid crystal display (LCD), and a daily crescendo alarm. Ko wire installation is required between the main and remote units 28 the IBR923 operates at 433 MH.

MAIN FEATURES: MAIN UNIT

FRONT DISPLAY The extra large LCD occupies the front panel. The LCD is subivided into five easy-to-rend sections, Each section hes a spodfic purpose that rélates 10 weather forecasting terrperature, Bumidity, or lock/ calendar / alarm functions.

3. Install 2 alkline batteries (UM-4 or“ AAA" size 15V)stictly

according to the polarities shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its scres.

1. Insert batteries forthe remote unit first. Then proceed with

® inserting the batteries for the main unit.

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

tansmissionrange. Inusual drcurrstances, the effective rangeis 30 meters.

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

fon direct sunlight, rain or snow. "] | 18R92305-tech_ENoutput 5

Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only “change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

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.

Notez For both the remote sensor and the main unit, replace batteries wben they are low. The [1] battery low indicator in the outrloor temperature window wall be displayed when the betteies are low.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The IBR923 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar dock once itis brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio Signal. It will scan and adjust every full our. When the unit is within range, its radio-control mechanism will ovemide all manuel settings. When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION Sigrel will start to Bin À complete reception generally takes about two to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal. 18R92305-tech_ENoutput 6 When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal wil stop Hlinking, The strength of the reception farthe les fu hour will be indicated. For better rooeption, place the clock away from metal oljects and! electrical appliances to minimize interference.

1. Itis not necessary and not possible to adjust the altitude of the

weather station. After the initial start-up of the weather station, a first Forecast will be made within the first 24 hours of operation.

2. Inperiods of long stable weather conditions, it becomes difficult

3. Thewestherforecast is soldy calculatedonthe basis of baromeric

air pressure changes.

4. The probability of a correct weather forecast is approximetely

70% and is valid for an area of approx. 20-30 km around the location of the weather station.

5. The forecast “Sunny” means at night “cloudless weather”, Fogis

not indicated by the weather station as this can occur with different weather conditions. If youtrvdl viththe weather station, ardliable weather forecest will Become impossible due to changes in altitude and location. Y ou‘ IL Have to wait up Lo 24 hours 50 that the westherstation can calculate a new forecæst baser on the conditions a the new location.
