INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION The temperature station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:46

1. Remove the cover at the back of the temperature station.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see

3. Replace compartment cover.

Battery replacement Replace the batteries when the battery symbol of the temperature station appears near the indoor temperature display. When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon appears near the outdoor temperature display.47 Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the temperature station in the first three minutes of power being supplied to it. SETTING UP: Note: This temperature station receives only one outdoor transmitter.

1. First, insert the batteries into the temperature transmitter. (see “Install and replace

batteries in the temperature transmitter“).

2. Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into temperature station

(see “Install and replace batteries in the temperature station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 0:00 will be displayed and indoor temperature. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.48

3. After inserting the batteries, the temperature station will start receiving data from the

transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the temperature station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, this should under good

conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the temperature station and the transmitter (see notes on “Mounting” and “868 MHz Reception”).

5. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the temperature

station, the DCF time (radio controlled time) code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. If after 10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, press the SET button to manually enter a time initially.49 Note: In the event of changing batteries of the units, ensure the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled temperature station receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.50 Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the temperature station, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not successful at 02:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If the reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters. Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.51 MIN/MAX/+ button SET button During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter. 868 MHz RECEPTION: The temperature station should receive the temperature data within 2 minutes after set-up. If the temperature data is not received 2 minutes after setting up (the outdoor display shows64 “- - -” ), please check the following points:

1. The distance of the temperature station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters

away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same

signal frequency (868MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 868 MHz signal frequency can also

cause interference. Note: When the 868MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or temperature station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 100 m from the transmitter to the temperature station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no65 reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up). POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION: Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations. Wall mount

1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head

extended out the by about 5mm.

2. Hang the temperature station onto the screw. Remember to ensure

that it locks into place before releasing.66 Free standing With the foldout stand, the temperature station can be placed onto any flat surface.

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER: The transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The transmitter can also be positioned on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the transmitter.67 To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic

2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.

Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter or move it slightly as this may help the signal reception.
