The Weather station
The Outdoor Temperature Transmitter
Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor transmitter.
Note:
Daily DCF reception is done at 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00 every day. If the reception at 03:00 is not successful, then at 04:00 and 05:00 there are other tries, until one is successful. If the reception at 05:00 is still not successful, then the next try takes place at 01:00 next day.
If reception is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. (Please refer also to notes on "DCF-77 Radio Controlled Time " and "Manual Time Setting ")
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR03, 1.5V battery. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
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 security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life See Specifications below).
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorised depot.
Weather station:
The weather station has four easy to use function keys.
SET key
+ key
ALARM key
MIN/MAX RESET key
* When the outdoor signal is successfully received by the Weather Station, this icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off).
For a better display clarity, the LCD screen is split into 4 sections.
Section 1 - TIME AND ALARM
Section 2 - INDOOR TEMPERATURE
Section 3 - WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY ICONS
Section 4 - OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
The following manual settings can be done in the setting mode:
Press and hold the SET key for about 3 seconds to advance to the setting mode:
The time zone default is "0" hour. To set a different time zone:
In area where reception of the radio-controlled time (DCF time) is not possible, the time reception function can be turned OFF. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. (Default setting is ON).
Note:
If the Time Reception function is turned OFF manually, the clock will not attempt any reception of the radio-controlled time (DCF time) as long as the Time Reception OFF function is activated. The Time Reception icon and the DCF icon will not be displayed on the LCD.
In case the Weather station is not able to detect the radio-controlled time (DCF time) signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.
To set the clock:
Note:
The unit will still try to receive the signal despite a manual setting. When the signal is received, the manually set time will automatically be replaced by the received time. During reception attempts, the DCF tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, the DCF tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted.
To set alarm:
Note: The duration of alarm sounding is 85 seconds
TO ACTIVATE THE SNOOZE FUNCTION AND STOPPING THE ALARM:
THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:
There are 4 weather icons in the third section of LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations:
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Sunny | Cloudy with sunny intervals | Cloudy | Rainy |
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.
The icons display weather forecasts in terms of getting better or worse, and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR:
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right hand side of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, you will see how the weather has changed and how it is expected to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny (sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloud with rain icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
Note:
Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in the air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.
The indoor temperature and indoor MIN/MAX records are displayed on the second section of the LCD.
Note: The MIN/MAX indoor temperature range is -10ºC to + 50ºC with 1°C resolution.
The outdoor temperature and outdoor MIN/MAX records are displayed on the last section of the LCD.
Note: The MIN/MAX outdoor temperature resolution is range -50ºC to +70ºC with 1°C resolution.
RESETTING THE INDOOR AND OUTDDOR MIN/MAX RECORDS
Note: All the MIN/MAX records will be reset at the same time.
Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.
The Weather station should receive the temperature data within 3 minutes after set-up. If the temperature data is not received 3 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the outdoor display shows "- - -" ), please check the following points:
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Weather 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 Weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up ).
The Weather Station may be hung onto wall easily or free standing.
