Within 3 minutes of activating the Temperature Station, place the batteries into the outdoor transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the outdoor transmitter” below). After a few seconds of inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Temperature Station will start receiving data from the transmitter(s).

Once the remote temperature has been received and is displayed on the Temperature Station, the DCF-77 time code reception is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5 minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable location(s) outdoors. In order to ensure the sufficient 433 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be no more than 25 meters from where the Temperature Station will finally be positioned.

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.

• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres. • 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.

433 MHz RECEPTION: The Temperature Station will receive the temperature data within 15 minutes. If the temperature data is not being received 15 minutes after setting up (the display shows “---”), then please check the following points: 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.
Page 21
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION: The Temperature Station comes complete with a convenient stand that gives the option of table standing or wall mounting. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature can be received from the desired locations. To wall mount: Fix a screw into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by about 5mm.

range. If for example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.).
• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type. • Do not make any repair attempts to the units. Return it to its original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate its guarantee.
