CRYSTAL WEATHER STATION WITH 433MHZ THERMO SENSOR

MODEL:WX782

INSTRUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this new Crystal Weather Station with 3D projection icons. This unique product is designed for everyday use for the home or office and is a definite asset of great use. To fully benefit from all the features and understand the correct operation of this product, please read this instruction manual thoroughly.

FUNCTIONS OF THE WEATHER STATION

This weather station measures the ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure for weather forecasting. Moreover, equipped with a 433MHz radio frequency (RF) interface, it can receive data from up to three remote sensors for outdoor temperature measurement within a distance of 75 meters (250 feet) in open space. The data is continuously updated and displayed on LCD display.

FEATURES: MAIN UNIT

A. IR motion sensor

It is a motion sensing device to activate the backlight or snooze function, provided that an object (e.g. human hand) gets within an 8cm distance in front of the sensor.

B. Weather forecast

The unit lights up the 3D weather icon in the crystal and displays weather icon simultaneously in the LCD to forecast the weather.

C. Alarm on icon

It is shown when the daily alarm is enabled.

D. Low battery indicator

It is to indicate the battery in the main unit is low and all displayed information in LCD is no longer reliable. The user needs to change the batteries at once

E. Radio reception signal

It is to indicate the status of DCF radio controlled time reception

F. Clock window

Display current time, calendar or alarm time

G. Indoor indicator

Indicates the indoor temperature is displayed

H. Indoor maximum/minimum indicator

Indicates the maximum/minimum indoor temperature is displayed

I. Outdoor remote sensor indicator

Indicates the current outdoor remote sensor signal received. It can display up to 3 different remote sensors which is placed in 3 different places and within 75 meter distance from the main unit.

J. Auto scroll indicator

The animated rolling arrow icon is shown to indicate the auto scroll of 3 different remote channels.

K. Outdoor maximum/minimum indicator

Indicates the maximum/minimum outdoor temperature is displayed.

L. Remote sensor battery low indicator

Appears when the batteries of the remote sensor are running dry and the temperature measured by this sensor is no longer reliable. The user must change the batteries at once.

GETTING STARTED

This Weather Station was designed for easy set up. For best operation, the following steps are required to be done in the proper sequence.

1. INSERT BATTERIES FOR MAIN UNIT BEFORE DOING SO FOR THE SENSOR UNITS.
2. RECEIVING UNIT CANNOT BE PROGRAMMED MANUALLY UNTIL THE WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR UNIT REGISTRATION PROCEDURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
3. POSITION THE REMOTE UNIT AND MAIN UNIT WITHIN EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION RANGE, WHICH, IN USUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IS 250 FEET.

Although the remote unit is weather resistant, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION FOR MAIN UNIT

1. Turn the metal nut anti-clockwise on the bottom of the unit to open and release the battery compartment;
2. Insert 4 AA size 1.5V alkaline battery as indicate by the polarity;
3. Push the battery compartment back, turn the metal nut clockwise to lock; Note: Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the top-right corner of the LCD.

WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

1. Insert x4 AA batteries first to the main unit, the temperature display shows - - . - While the wave icon will keep blinking for 2 minutes indicate unit is in sensor searching mode.
2. In a second step, insert the x2 AAA batteries for the sensor unit. The LED on the front panel will start flashing at a rate of one time per around 2 seconds indicates channel-1 is in use.
3. While the LED is flashing, press once the [CH] key will change the sensor channel setting to 2. Keep toggle on [CH] key can change channel setting up to 5. The LED is blinking at a frequency to indicate the channel setting. i.e. continuous blinks 2 times indicate channel-2 is selected.

Note: If user does not press any key for 10 seconds, it will exit the channel setting mode and transmit the RF signal. The main unit will register the temperature reading.

(If the transmitter has the LCD display, the C/F key will toggle the

temperature unit on the LCD.) As the channel 4 & 5 are reserved for other models, please never set the remote sensor to channel 4 & 5.

REMOTE CHANNEL AUTO-SCROLLING

This device is equipped with an auto-Scroll function. While the auto-Scroll function is set, the unit will automatically cycle to display the temperature of each remote sensor for 4 seconds.

1. To retrieve manually the specific sensor temperature reading, press CHANNEL key until desired channel number is displayed.
2. To enable autoScroll function, use CHANNEL button to select channel 1, 2, ... until auto scroll icon appears.

DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK

The radio-controlled time is calculated by the Cesium Atomic clock of Braunschweig (official clock of Germany). Then the time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen - near Frankfurt - via a signal on DCF -77 (77.5 kHz). The transmitting range of the signal is 1500km , which means that most of Western and Central Europe is covered by this signal. Within this range the received time is completely accurate. Once sensor signal(s) are received, the wave icon will flash to indicate that the receiving unit starts to receive the DCF radio controlled time signal.

Radio Controlled wave icon can indicate 4 levels of signal status:

Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will automatically be updated.

Note: During 10 minutes of time signal reception, all manual settings will be suspended. If setting is desired, the user can press [▲] key once to abort the reception.
