  • Page 10: Setting Up

    SETTING UP: When one sensor is to be used First, insert the batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the thermo-hygro sensor “). Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather Station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Weather Station”).
  • Page 11 In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”). When more than one sensor is to be used User shall remove all the batteries from the Weather Station and sensors and wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one sensor before.
  • Page 12 displayed on the Weather Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. Insert the batteries to the second sensor as soon as the outdoor temperature readings from the first sensor are displayed on the Weather Station.
  • Page 13 sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1. Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third sensor within 30 seconds of reception of the second sensor. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Weather Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting”...
  • Page 14 IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1. Once the remote temperature has been received and displayed on the Weather Station, the Atomic time (WWVB time) code reception is automatically started.

(Please refer also to notes on “Atomic time - WWVB Radio controlled Time” and “Manual Time Setting”) BATTERY INSTALLATION INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: Remove the cover at the back of the Weather Station.
  • Page 16 INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR The sensor uses 2 x AA Alkaline batteries. To install and replace the batteries: 1. Remove the Protective Rain Cover. 2. Remove the Battery Cover. 3. Observing the correct polarity, install 2 “AA” Alkaline Batteries—make sure they do not spring free, or start-up problems may occur.
  • Page 17 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 sensor 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 BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of...

  • Page 42 Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 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.
  • Page 43 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 48 to 60 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 (the upward and downward arrow located near Oscar Outlook).

Note: The daily minimum temperature record is reset automatically at 8:00 pm and the daily maximum temperature is reset automatically at 8:00 am every day. 915 MHz RECEPTION The Weather Station should receive the temperature data within 15 minutes after set-up.
  • Page 54 Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the sensor or Weather Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset.

  • Page 55: Mounting

    MOUNTING POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION: The Weather Station may be hung onto wall easily or free standing. To wall mount Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values can be received from the desired locations.
  • Page 56 Free standing With the foldout stand, the Weather Station can be placed onto any flat surface.
  • Page 57 POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR: The sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The sensor can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the sensor.
  • Page 58 To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. 2. Clip the remote thermo-hygro sensor onto the bracket. Note: Before permanently fixing the sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable.

  • Page 59: Care And Maintenance

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE: • Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. • When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
