Only then can the weather station function without flaws. Do not use rechargeable batteries, since their voltage is too low (only 1.2 V instead of

1.5 V). This affects, among other things, the

precision of the measurements. Where possible, use alkaline rather than zinc-carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer, especially at low outdoor temperatures. Outdoor sensor

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the rear

side of the outdoor sensor by pressing with a little force on the imprinted arrow. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, away from the outdoor sensor.

2. Insert 2 batteries of the type LR6 (AA) / 1.5 V as

depicted on the bottom of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place

on the outdoor sensor.49 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 English Base station

1. Push the locking tab down slightly and remove the

battery compartment cover.

2. Insert 3 batteries of type LR03 (AAA)/1.5 V as depicted

on the bottom of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover and snap it

4. Wait approx. 30 minutes. The base station requires this

time to collect all weather data and to receive radio signals from the time signal transmitter. Starting signal reception When the base station is energised, all displays are shown for a brief moment. Furthermore, the display is briefly lit up and a beep sounds. The device then switches to receiving-mode, during which the number of radio waves indicates the quality of the reception: The more radio waves shown on the display, the better is the reception. During wireless reception by the time signal transmitter, the buttons are disabled (except

As soon as the signals from the time signal transmitter and wireless outdoor sensor have been received in sufficient strength, the respective data is permanently shown in the display.50 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 Time signal transmitter: Time and Date Radio tower symbol Wireless outdoor sensor: outdoor temperature Humidity Base station: indoor temperature Humidity From now on, the weather station automatically switches to receiving-mode multiple times each night. During this process, the displayed time is compared with that received from the time signal transmitter and, if necessary, corrected. If no sufficiently strong signal has been received, the base station aborts the receiving process after a few minutes and the radio-tower symbol goes out. The receiving process is started again at a later point in time. In this case, the time proceeds as usual (beginning with the start time of “00:00”). The data from the wireless outdoor sensor are transmitted continuously once per minute. Checklist when data is missing in the display No data display from the time signal transmitter

1. Check whether the location of the base station is

suitable, see "Choosing a location".51 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 English

2. Restart reception manually, see "Manually starting

3. Wait until the base station automatically switches

back to reception at a later time. The reception is usually better at night.

4. Manually perform the settings if reception is not

possible at your location, see "Setting the time and date manually". No data display from the wireless outdoor sensor

1. Check whether you have inserted the batteries

2. Check whether the location of the wireless outdoor

sensor is suitable, see "Choosing a location". Setting the time and date manually If there is more than approx. 8 seconds between two pushes of a button, the setting process automatically ends and you will have to repeat it.

1. Press and hold down the SET button until “00” flashes

/ buttons to select your time zone (for most countries in Europe, “00” is the correct setting).

4. Proceed as previously described:52

Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 − Press the / button to set the desired value. − Press SET to save the setting you have made.

5. Carry out the following settings:

− Hours − Minutes − Year − Month − Day − Language (refers exclusively to the display of the weekday abbreviation)

6. Finally, press SET to conclude the procedure.

Starting signal reception manually If the radio signal symbol to the left is no longer displayed, the radio signals from the time signal transmitter are no longer being received. The time indicator nevertheless continues precisely. − Press and hold the button until the radio signal symbol is displayed again. The signal reception is thus started manually. Pay attention to the following: If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol fades out after a few minutes and the time on the display continues normally. Upon successful signal reception, the base station adjusts itself to the time of the time signal transmitter. If you have already made manual time and date settings, they will be adjusted automatically.53 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 English Choosing a location NOTE on material damage Protect the base station and wireless sensor from dust, impacts, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Protect the base station from moisture. Position the base station exclusively in a dry, closed room. The wireless sensor is protected against moisture, but must be protected from direct exposure to moisture, e.g. rain. Signal reception between the base station and wireless outdoor sensor The maximum distance between the base station and the outdoor sensor is 60 metres. This range is, however, only possible with “direct line of sight”. Protective construction materials such as reinforced concrete reduce or inhibit signal reception between the base station and outdoor sensor. Devices such as TVs, cordless phones, computers, and fluorescent tubes can likewise disrupt signal reception. Do not place the base station and the outdoor sensor directly on the ground. This limits the range. At low temperatures in winter, the performance of the outdoor sensor batteries can markedly decrease. This reduces the transmission range. Signal reception between the base station and54 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 time signal transmitter Maintain distance from TV sets, computers, and monitors. Also, base stations from cordless phones should not be located in immediate proximity to the weather station. The reception is generally better at night. If the base station did not have reception during the day, it may well be that the signal will be immediately and fully received at night. Depending on your location, it can infrequently happen that the base station receives signals from another time signal transmitter or even alternately from two time signal transmitters. This is not a fault in the device. In this case you should change the location of the base station. The weather, e.g. a heavy storm, can cause interference with the reception. Temporary shutoffs of the transmitter can sometimes happen, e.g. because of maintenance work. Setting up equipment The Base station has a foot. − Set up the base station as close to a window as possible. Here, the reception will generally be best. The wireless outdoor sensor has a suspension eyelet on the back panel. − Place or hang the outdoor sensor at a position where it is protected from the direct inuence of the weather (rain, sun, wind, etc.). Suitable locations are, for example, under an awning or in a carport.55 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 English Use additional wireless sensors The base station is supplied with a wireless sensor. However, you can operate it with up to three outdoor sensors. For more information or priced order please use the following email address: [e-mail]. The outdoor sensors can be situated in different spaces or outdoors. Every sensor must be allocated its own number (= no. of the transmission channel). Procedure:

1. Place the base station and wireless sensors close

2. Remove the battery compartment cover on the rear

side of the outdoor sensor.

3. For each outdoor sensor, set a unique channel using

the switches. Sensor included in delivery uses by default channel 1, so select channel 2 for the second and channel 3 for the third sensor.

4. Insert two batteries of the type indicated on the base.

Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).

5. Put the battery compartment cover back in place.

6. Using the CH button, select the corresponding outdoor

sensor (1, 2 or 3) in order to have its data displayed.

7. Using the CH button, select the

corresponding outdoor sensor (1, 2 or 3) in order to have its data displayed.56 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 If the channel number is not displayed after inserting the batteries, press the TX button for the respective wireless sensor. This way, the weather data is transmitted directly to the base station. Then you can install the new wireless outdoor sensor on the appropriate location. About the time signal transmitter DCF77 The radio-controlled clock integrated into the weather station receives its radio signal from the DCF77 time signal transmitter. This broadcasts the precise and official time of the Federal Republic of Germany on the long-wave frequency of 77.5 kHz. The transmitter is located in Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main and, with its range of up to 2000 km, supplies the majority of radio-controlled clocks in western Europe with the necessary radio signals. As soon as the base station is supplied with current, it switches to receiving mode and searches for the signal from the DCF77 transmitter. If the time signal is received in sufficient strength, the display shows the date and time. The base station switches on multiple times daily and synchronises the time with the radio signal from the DCF77 transmitter. In the event the signal is not received, e.g. during a strong storm, the device continues to run57 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 English precisely and then switches to receiving mode again at the next scheduled time. Display indicators of the base station Weather forecast After start-up, the information still can not be used for weather forecasting for approximately 12 hours, since the weather station needs this time to collect and analyse the weather data. The weather forecast is based on the collected data and the measured air pressure changes. The forecast pertains to the region around the weather station with a radius of approx 30 to 50 km, for a period of 12 to 24 hours. The accuracy of the weather forecast lies around 75%. There are four different displays: sunny light cloud cloudy rainy If an additional S is displayed, summer time is currently valid.58 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 Time and moon phase displays Time display in

Check the chosen location. Start the signal reception manually, if necessary. Adjust the time manually. The temperature information of the sensor seems too high. Check whether the sensor has been exposed to direct sunlight. Instead of showing the measured values for temperature or humidity, the display shows H.HH or LL.L. The values lie above or below the measurement range. The temperature indicator is blinking on the display. The temperature alarm has tripped; see chapter “Temperature alarm”. The indicator is illegible, the function is unclear, or the values are obviously false. Remove the batteries for a few moments.66 Weather Station with Wireless Outdoor Sensor WS 1822 Fault Possible cause The base station is not receiving signals from the wireless sensor. Ensure that no electrical sources of interference are located in the vicinity of the wireless sensor or of the base station. Check the batteries in the sensor. Move the base station closer to the sensor, or vice versa. The time differs by exactly one, two, three, etc. hours. You have probably set an incorrect time zone.
