Intended Use

  • The weather station with radio alarm clock - composed of a base station and a wireless outdoor sensor - displays different weather data from the surrounding area. The weather station makes a weather forecast on the basis of the measured weather data.
  • The weather station is also an FM radio with integrated alarm function.
  • The device is not suitable for commercial use.

Safety

  • This device can be used by children 8 years of age and older, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lacking experience and/or knowledge, if they are being supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the dangers that may arise.
  • The device and the mains adaptor must be kept away from children younger than 8 years.
  • Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be carried out by children unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.
  • Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
  • The wireless weather station and mains adaptor must not be submerged in water or other liquids. Risk of electric shock!
  • You should therefore not use the base station of the wireless weather station in the vicinity of sources of moisture, such as wash basins.
  • Only use the supplied mains adaptor and replace it only with one of the same type. The mains adaptor may only be used in dry indoor spaces and must be protected from moisture.

DANGER for children

  • Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. You should therefore keep the weather station, wireless sensor, and batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.
  • Keep children away from packaging material and other small parts included in the scope of delivery. Risk of choking if swallowed.

Danger from electricity

  • Connect the device to a correctly installed socket that has a voltage corresponding to that described under "Technical Data".
  • Ensure that the socket is easily accessible, so that the mains adaptor can be pulled out quickly if necessary.
  • Do not use the wireless weather station if the mains adaptor or mains adaptor cable are damaged.
  • Do not cover the mains adaptor with curtains, newspapers, etc., and ensure sufficient ventilation. The mains adaptor can become hot.
  • Completely uncoil the mains adaptor cable before connecting it. In doing so, take care to keep the cable from being damaged by sharp corners or hot objects.

- Pull the mains adaptor out of the socket:

–before cleaning the wireless weather station,
-if, during operation, there appears to be interference,
-during a storm.

When doing so, always pull on the plug, not on the cable.

  • Do not make any modifications to the item or to the connection cable. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop, since inexpertly repaired devices can present hazards to the user.
  • Do not replace the mains adaptor cable. When the cable or mains adaptor is damaged, it must be scrapped and replaced with a mains adaptor of the same type.

Risk of injuries

  • Attention: Risk of explosion if batteries are improperly used. Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited.
  • Avoid contact of the battery fluid with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If you do come into contact with the fluid, you must immediately flush the affected areas thoroughly with clean water and promptly see a doctor.

Note on material damage

  • Protect the base station and outdoor 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.

- Remove the batteries from the base station and outdoor sensor once they have been consumed or when you are no longer using the weather station. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid.

- Do not expose the batteries to any extreme conditions, e.g. by storing them on heaters or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!

- Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.

- Always exchange all of the batteries in the base station or in the outdoor sensor at the same time.

- Only insert batteries of the same type; do not use different types or used and new batteries with each other.

- Do not make any modifications to the device. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop and pay attention to the guarantee conditions.

- Do not connect the wire antenna to any other antenna. Also, do not try to connect the clock radio to your house antenna.

- There are feet on the underside of the weather station. Since furniture surfaces are made of various materials and are treated with various care products, it cannot be completely ruled out that some of these substances contain ingredients that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place a non-slip pad underneath the device.

- Do not under any circumstances use hard, scratching, or abrasive cleaning agents or the like in order to clean the weather station. Doing so may scratch the surfaces.

ADE WS 1604 - Base station with radio - 2

You can also operate the base station without a backup battery. Operation with only the battery - without connecting to the mains - is not possible.

In the event of a power outage, a 3 V CR2032 battery ensures that settings made (e.g. alarm times) remain stored for several hours. Upon delivery, the backup battery is already inserted and is provided with an iso strip to protect against premature discharge.

  1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover on the underside using a fine Phillips screwdriver.
  2. Remove the battery compartment cover.
  3. Pull out the iso-strips.
  4. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it in place using the fastening screw.
  5. Unwind the FM wire antenna and attach the end as high as possible to a wall or a shelf, e.g. with adhesive tape.

  6. Insert the plug of the supplied mains adaptor into the connection socket of the base station.

  7. Plug the mains adaptor into a socket that has a voltage corresponding to that described under "Technical Data".

Starting signal reception

ADE WS 1604 - Starting signal reception - 1

It can take up to 30 minutes for the base station to collect all weather data and receive the wireless signals from the time signal transmitter.

As soon as the base station is powered, all available data is shown in the display. The device switches to reception at the same time and searches for the wireless signals of the time signal transmitter and the wireless outdoor sensor.

ADE WS 1604 - Starting signal reception - 2

The number of radio waves in the display indicates the quality of reception to the time signal transmitter: The more radio waves shown on the display, the better is the reception.

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.

Time signal transmitter: · Time and Date · Radio tower symbol
Wireless outdoor sensor· Outdoor temperature

The base station immediately and automatically switches to reception several 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").

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".
2. Restart reception manually, see "Manually starting signal reception".
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 correctly.
2. Check whether the location of the wireless outdoor sensor is suitable, see "Choosing a location".
3. Press and hold CH to manually start signal reception to the outdoor sensor.
4. When using a single wireless outdoor sensor (standard), transmission channel 1 is usually used for data transmission.Press the CH button repeatedly until is shown in the display.Then, if necessary, check whether the sliding switch on the wireless outdoor sensor is also set to "1".Note: You can also use any other transmission channel. However, it must be identical for the base station and the outdoor sensor.

Setting the time and date manually

ADE WS 1604 - Setting the time and date manually - 1

Manually starting signal reception to the time signal transmitter

ADE WS 1604 - Manually starting signal reception to the time signal transmitter - 1

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 WAVE 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 radio-controlled alarm clock adjusts itself to the time of the time signal transmitter. If you have already made manual settings, these are automatically adjusted.

Choosing a location

ADE WS 1604 - Choosing a location - 1

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 and time signal transmitter

  • Maintain distance from TV sets, computers, and monitors. Base stations of wireless phones should also not be located in the immediate vicinity of the base 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 the base station

- Set up the base station as close to a window as possible. Here, the reception will generally be best.

Setting up the wireless outdoor sensor

ADE WS 1604 - Setting up the wireless outdoor sensor - 1

DANGER of severe injuries

- During wall installation, there must be no electrical cables, gas or water pipes installed in the walls at the mounting site. Otherwise, when drilling holes, there is a risk of electric shock!

The wireless outdoor sensor has a hanging eyelet on the back, as well as a mounting foot.

- Place or hang the outdoor sensor at a position where it is protected from the direct influence of the weather (rain, sun, wind, etc.). Suitable locations are, for example, under an awning or in a carport.

Use additional wireless sensors

The base station is supplied with a wireless sensor. However, you can operate it with up to three outdoor sensors. Please contact service@ade-germany.de for more information or a paid order.

- 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 the outdoor sensor close to each other.
  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. The sensor delivered with the weather station uses channel 1 by default; for the second sensor you should thus choose channel 2.
  4. Insert two batteries of the type indicated on the base. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
  5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
  6. Using the CH button, select the corresponding outdoor sensor (1, 2 or 3) in order to have its data displayed.

ADE WS 1604 - Procedure: - 1

- You can also press the CH button repeatedly until it appears in the display above the outdoor temperature. This is a sign that the data from the outdoor sensors will automatically be called up and displayed in succession.

- 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.

You can then set up the new outdoor sensor at its own installation site.

About the time signal transmitter DCF77

The radio clock integrated into the base station receives its radio signals from the time signal transmitter DCF77. 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 has been received in sufficient strength via the ferrite rod antenna installed in the radio alarm, the time is shown in the display.

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 run precisely and then switches to receiving mode again at the next scheduled time.

Weather functions

Weather forecast

After startup, the weather forecast information cannot be used for about 12 hours, since the base station uses this time to collect and evaluate the weather data.

The weather forecast is based on the collected data and the measured air pressure changes.

The forecast applies to the area around the base station with a radius of about 30 to 50km for a period of the next 8 hours. The accuracy of the weather forecast lies around 75% .

The weather symbols indicate the weather developing in the next 8 hours, not the current weather.
