In the current display panel the frost warning symbol (see above) appears. 12. Changing batteries Depending on what type of batteries or rechargeable batteries you use, the replacement interval can be very different. High- quality alkaline batteries provide longest service, rechargeable batteries or cheap zinc-carbon batteries require more frequent changing. 12.1. Base station If the battery flat symbol appears in the display ( need replacing. • Always replace the whole set of batteries. • Never mix new batteries with “used” batteries. • Always use three batteries of the same type by the same manufacturer. • Do not mix batteries with rechargeable batteries. • As already mentioned, you can use rechargeable batteries, however, durability is appreciably lower than with batteries.

  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    13. Troubleshooting Observe the safety instructions contained in these operating instructions! Problem Remedy No reception • The distance between the base station and out- door sensors is too great. Relocate the outdoor sensors. • Objects or shielding materials are interfering with the radio reception. Relocate the outdoor sensors and the base station. • The batteries of the outdoor sensors are too weak or flat. Try replacing batteries in the sensors. • Another transmitter on the same or a neighboring frequency is interfering with the radio signal from the outdoor sensors. This could be radio headphones, radio loudspeakers, or other similar devices.
  • Page 26 Problem Problems with the Synchronization Remedy • When you insert batteries into the outdoor sensors and the base station (make sure you follow this order), the devices enter synchronization mode. In sync mode, a datagram is transmitted every 4 seconds to speed up detection and registra- tion of the outdoor sensors by the base station. To trigger a resync, remove the batteries from the base station and outdoor sensors. Then wait for at least 60 seconds before reinsert- ing the batteries into the outdoor sensors, and finally the base station (make sure you follow this order – insert batteries into all out- door sensors first, then into the base station.

  • Page 27: Range

    14. Range The transmission range of the radio signals to the base station is 300 ft. under optimum conditions. This is often described as the “free field range”. This ideal arrangement (e.g. base station and outdoor sen- sor on a smooth, level field without trees, houses etc.) is, however, never found in practical conditions. You will normally wish to set up the base station in your home, with the combination sensor in your garden and additional outdoor sensors, for example in outbuildings or your garage. The following can considerably reduce the reception range: • walls, reinforced steel ceilings • coated/layered insulation glass panes • vehicles...

  • Page 30: Terminology

    17. Terminology 17.1. Comfort indicator (only display panel B) The symbol of the comfort indicator (the three different “smileys“ J K L ) reflect the room climate; refer to the following table when interpreting the weather station readings: Temperature air humidity (%) < 64,4°F 64.4-67.9°F 68.0-71.5°F L 71.6-75.1°F L 75.2-78.7°F L 78.8-82.3°F L over 82.4°F L Depending the temperature to humidity ratio, there are clearly delimited areas which are defined as comfortable or uncomfortable climates. For example, you might consider humidity of under 30% to be too dry at a temperature of 77° F (e. g. dry air due to central heating) and humidity of over approx. 60% to be to sticky. • The comfort indicator on display panel A is driven by the defined comfort temperature range (see chapter 10.4.) • For sensors which do not transmit air humidity values, the comfort indicator does not appear on the display.
