Congratulations with the purchase if the In/Out Thermometer with wireless sensor and radio controlled clock.

The basic package comes with a main unit (the temperature/clock station) and a remote unit (the thermo sensor).

The main unit has large displays for time/date, indoors temperature and humidity, outdoors temperature and humidity as received from the remote unit. The main unit can receive data from up to 3 remote units.

The main unit has a memory for maximum and minimum reached temperatures and humidity of different sites.

The remote units have a range up to 30 meters, this range can be influenced by several factors (concrete walls, electric wires, other sending devices, etc.)

The sensors are weatherproof and can be used outdoors, but should not be submerged into water or hung in a place where rain can reach the unit.

The clock/calendar function is radio controlled and the unit has a 2 minute crescendo weekly and daily alarm.

The clock is synchronised with the atom clock in Frankfurt Germany, this clock has a range of 1.500 km and your clock will receive the time signal 12 to 24 times a day and will correct, if necessary. When you first operate your clock, it can take up to 60 minutes before the radio signal is received and the correct time is set.

When you put the main unit and the remote unit next to each other, you will notice a minimal difference in temperature. This is caused by the software used and the insulation of the outdoors sensor, this sensor is calibrated on the average outdoors temperature, whereas the main unit is calibrated on the average indoors temperature.

This is no defect in the units

At temperatures below freezing point the operation can be distorted, this is caused because the batteries cannot deliver the power needed to operate the unit correctly.

You can avoid this by using branded batteries and change them just before the winter starts.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Home Receiver:

Lift off the battery cover at the back, install 2 pcs AA batteries according to the polarity indicated, close the battery cover.

Remote Sensor:

Lift off the bracket stand, loose the 4 screws with a small screwdriver, insert 2 pcs AAA batteries according to the polarity indicated. Replace the cover and tighten the 4 screws.

SETTING UP THE WIRELESS THERMOMETER:

• For the first installation, always insert batteries to the home unit and then the remote sensor. Set Channel 1 for the first remote sensor. Set channel 2 and channel 3 for the 2nd and 3rd sensor.
• Press the Tx button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF reception.
• If more than 1 sensor is connected, press "CH" to select Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 and Auto Ch Scrolling.

C/F SELECTION, HOME TIME & WORLD (ZONE) TIME

Press "C/F" to select C/F

Hold "ZONE" button 3 seconds to select display home time and world time (only with manual time setting).

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The unit will start synchronizing the clock after the 1st channel of the RF thermometer is registered. Press SET for 2 seconds to force synchronization.

The antenna icon will appear during synchronization, if the icon disappear afterwards, radio time signal is not available at the moment. Try other locations later. Place the unit away from source of interference such as mobile phones, appliances, TV etc.

Antenna icon will appear fix on screen if the radio time reception is successful.

The radio-controlled clock will have a daily synchronization at 01:00 everyday. Each reception cycle is minimum 2.5 minutes and maximum 5 minutes.

MOON PHASE

Moon phase will be displayed automatically according to current calendar.

SETTING UP THE BAROMETER

When power up, the pressure section will display 1013hPa. Press HISTORY for 3 seconds, the value flashes. Press BARO▲, BARO▼ to adjust the air pressure according the current sea level pressure value (available from local authorities or the Internet), press HISTORY to save the setting.

There is no need to enter the existing weather to the unit, the digital barometer will calculate & forecast the weather conditions based on the air pressure data.

To change the scale between hPa/mb and inHg, hold BARO▼ for 3 seconds.

To view air pressure for the past 12 hours, press HISTORY each time to view the pressure history for each hour. The corresponding pressure history values can only be available after the barometer operated and recorded the pressure data in the past 12 hours.

The spectrum bar chart indicates the pressure changes (range from +0.24 inHg to -0.24 inHg/ -8 hPa mb to +8 hPa mb) of the current and past 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 hour.

WEATHER FORECAST

The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12 - 24 hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The coverage area is around 30 - 50 km. The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure change and is about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted, we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
