NOTES:

• First insert the batteries of main unit, then insert the batteries of the outdoor sensor in 3 minutes after the main unit is powered on, to assure of the sensor data received well.
  In case of the outdoor sensor data received failure, pls press ALARM key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the RF signal.
  • Every time the batteries are replaced, the main unit will lose all the weather data.
• Every time the batteries are replaced, the thermo-hygro sensor should synchronize with the main unit again, please press the key ALARM for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the RF signal.

Mounting the main unit

- The main unit can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by Hanging hole. It is important to check that the radio signal can be received before mounting.

Mounting the outdoor sensor onto the stainless steel mast

For accurate results, the outdoor sensor mast should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface and in an open area away from trees and other coverings where rainfall or wind speed may be reduced to cause inaccurate reading.

Mounting the wind speed sensor to the first plastic bracket: first check the wind-fan can rotate freely before fixing, then the wind speed sensor should be mounted onto the

bracket to allow the wind to travel around the sensor from all directions. Please follow the below display :

Pure mechanical diagram showing a lever mechanism with no text, numbers, or symbols

Mounting the wind direction sensor to the first plastic bracket: first check the wind direction sensor before fixing, there is one cable from wind speed sensor, please insert it into the socket under. please follow the below display:

Pure mechanical diagram showing a lever system with a pulley and weights, no text or symbols present

Mounting the rain sensor to the second plastic bracket: there are vertical engraved lines at the bottom edge of the round cover and the sensor part, you only need to adjust the two line into one position, then turn clockwise, the rain sensor part will be connected well, then fix them with 4 screws onto the plastic bracket ( don't use only 2 screws ) please follow the below display:

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

Mounting the thermo-hygro sensor to the third plastic bracket: once the wind sensors and rain sensor are fixed onto the bracket, connect the cables to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor sockets with the plugs, so that data can be transmitted to the main unit, then put the house-like cover onto the thermo-hygro sensor, please follow the below display:

Pure technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with no text, numbers, or symbols

LOW BATTERY CONDITION DISPLAY

The weather station displays the low battery condition symbol to remind you that the batteries of the weather station or the outdoor sensor need to be exchanged.

• Weather station low battery condition display: within indoor area of the display
• Outdoor sensor low battery condition display: in the outdoor area of the display

RF CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOOR SENSOR

- Press and hold the key "ALARM" for 3 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor. The RF signal symbol at the outside area will flash when trying to connect. The RF reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. The distance will be shortened if you have interference. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window

RECEPTION OF THE RADIO CONTROLLED SIGNAL

• The DCF radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The "radio tower" signal is flashing.
• Press "UP" and "DOWN" for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the Radio controlled signal reception
• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to 3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful ("radio tower" symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made From 4:00 and 5:00 until success. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not success, daily reception stop.

Information

• The flashing "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception started.
• The continuous "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception successful.
• Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5 m to sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens.
• The radio signal is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the main unit near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second.

Tip

You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically. Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DISPOSAL

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – WEEE – requires that old household electrical appliances should not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances should be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation that when you dispose of the appliance, it should be separately collected. Contact your local authority for information concerning the correct disposal of your old appliance.
