7. Note on radio-controlled time

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one mil- lion years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency sig- nal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time the DST symbol is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. Therefore, please note the following steps:

The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least

Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• Important: a button operation is not possible during the reception of the transmitters signal or of the radio-controlled time signal.

Press and hold the MaxMin/+ or RCC/- button in the respective setting mode for fast setting.

The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.

Press and hold the Set button in normal mode.

dcF appears on the display and on (default) will be flashing.

Press the MaxMin/+ or RCC/- button to deactivate (OFF) or activate (on) the DCF time reception.

Once the DCF time reception is deactivated, the clock must be manually set.

Press the Set button to do the settings in the following sequence: Time zone (0 - default), the 12 or 24-hour system (24hr - default), the hours, the minutes, the year, the month, the day and the temperature display (°C - default), Press the MaxMin/+ or RCC/- button to adjust it.

Confirm with the Set button.

Once the DCF time signal is successfully received, the manually set time is overwritten, if the DCF reception is activated.

In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-12/+12).

The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).

8.1.2 12/24-hour display setting

• Press the MaxMin/+ or RCC/- button in the setting mode to choose between the 12 or 24-hour sys- tem.

In the 12-hour system AM or PM (after 12 o'clock) appears on the display as well as the American date format (month first, then the day).

Press the MaxMin/+ or RCC/- button in the setting mode to select the temperature display in °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.

• Place the instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5 meters. Avoid being close to possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio installations.

1. Open the battery compartment of the first transmitter.

2. Set the switch to the channel 1 position.

3. Insert two new AA 1,5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.

4. Close the battery compartment carefully.

• Repeat steps 1-4 for the other two transmitters. Select different channels for each sensor with the switch.

• Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert two new AA 1.5V batteries, polarity as illustrated.

• All segments will be displayed briefly.

• Close the battery compartment again.

6.1.1 Transmitters' reception

• After the batteries are inserted the base station will automatically receive the measured values. The reception symbol will be flashing on the display.

• If the reception of the measured values fails, “- -” appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.

• As soon as the base station receives the radio-controlled time, you can start the transmitters man- ual initialization. Choose the respective transmitter by pressing the Channel button. Press and hold the Channel button for four seconds. The base station tries to receive the measured values.

• For testing, or in case of transmitter signal loss, press the TX button to transmit the measured val- ues manually.

6.2 Radio-controlled time reception

• After the base station has completed searching for the transmitters, the device starts scanning the DCF signal and the DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• When the time code is successfully received after 2-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, the DST (if applicable) and the DCF symbols will be shown steadily on the display.

• The DCF reception always takes place hourly between 1:00 and 5:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received until 5:00 o'clock, the next DCF reception attempt will hap- pen at 1:00 o'clock in the following morning.

• There are three different reception symbols: flashing - reception is active solid - reception is very good No symbol - no reception / set the clock manually

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).

• Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol appears on the display of the indoor values.

• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between transmitter and base station must be restored – so always start a manual transmitter search or make a restart according to the manual.

Never dispose of empty batteries and rechargeable batteries with ordinary household waste. As a consumer, you are required by law to take them to your retail store or to an appro- priate collection site depending on national or local regulations in order to protect the environment. The symbols for the contained heavy metals are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead This product is labelled in accordance with the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip- ment Directive (WEEE). Please do not dispose of this product in ordinary household waste. As a consumer, you are required to take end-of-life devices to a designated collection point for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, in order to ensure environmentally-compatible disposal.

The trend arrows indicate whether the temperature and humidity values are currently increasing or decreasing. If the arrows are steady, there is no change.

8.3 Maximum/Minimum function

• Press the MaxMin/+ button in normal mode.

• appears on the display.

• The maximum values measured since the last reset appear on the display.

• Press the MaxMin/+ button again.

• appears on the display.

• The minimum values measured since the last reset appear on the display.

• When the maximum or the minimum values are displayed, press and hold the MaxMin/+ button for four seconds to reset the corresponding values.

• Press the MaxMin/+ button again to return to normal mode.

When the temperature is between 19 °C and 25 °C and the humidity between 40% and 60% (com- fort level range) a smiling face appears on the display. If the values are outside this range, a sad face appears instead.

9. Positioning and mounting of the base station and the transmitters

• Place the base station at the final position. Avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.

• The transmitter can be wall mounted (mounting hole at the back). When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly.

• Once the desired location is chosen, check if the transmission from transmitters to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 80m in open areas), within solid walls, especially with metal parts, the transmission range can be considerably reduced.

• If necessary choose another position for the transmitter and/or base station.

10. Transmitter sites labelling

• You can name the three sites on the base station display once the transmitters 1-3 have been per- manently installed at the desired location. Please use a correctable pen (e.g.: Staedtler Lumocolor correctable pen).

11. Care and maintenance

• Clean the devices with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

• Remove the batteries if you do not use the devices for a long period of time.

• Keep the devices in a dry place.
