    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.

  • Page 54 The distance of the Weather Station or sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. Avoid positioning the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.

  • Page 55: Mounting

    The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the sensor 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).
  • Page 56 Remove the stand from the Weather Station by pulling it away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing. 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.

  • Page 60: Specifications

    • Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
