1.1. Intended use
The temperature station E9311 is a high-quality temperature measuring
system which processes a large quantity of temperature and air humid-
ity data. All external sensors use wireless transmission technologies to
transmit their data to the base station (433 MHz, range up to 300 ft. in
open space, see chapter 14 on page 27).
You can use the following wireless sensors:
- Wireless Pool Thermometer E9310 (water temperature)
- This sensor is included with the E9250 Weather Station.
- Combination sensor E9301 (temperature and air humidity)
- This sensor is included with the E9300 Weather Station.
- Temperature and humidity sensor E9305 (temperature and air humidity)
You can use the base station with up to 9 sensors (e.g. 1 x E9251 +
8 other sensors).

6. Battery and environment instructions

8
• Batteries do not belong in the hands of children.
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as pets or small children might
swallow them. If your child or pet swallows a battery, consult your
doctor or vet immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may lead to
injury to the skin. For this reason, use suitable protective gloves when
changing them.
• Make sure that batteries or rechargeable batteries are not thrown into
the fire or short-circuited. Risk of explosion!
• Never dismantle batteries/rechargeable batteries!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. Risk of explosion!
• If you will not be using the product for an extendend period of time (e.g.
for storage), please remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries
in order to prevent damage caused by leaking batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
7. Preparation for operation, commissioning
Please observe the following:
Commission your outdoor sensors first (insert batteries); then
commission the base station.
If you do not follow this order, the base station may not detect
all your outdoor sensors.
We always recommend trying out the base station with all outdoor sensors
first, before installing the outdoor sensors outside. However, the distance
between the base station and the outdoor sensors should be at least 6 ft.
in order to avoid interference.
If you notice that one outdoor sensor is out of range after installation, you
can assume that radio reception is not sufficient (rather than the sensor
being defective).
This initial function test will save extensive and time-consuming error
troubleshooting later.
6. Battery and enviroment insructions

9
7.1. Commissioning the base station
• Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station.
• Insert three batteries (AA cells) into the battery compartment observing
correct polarity. Use alkaline batteries if possible.
Althrough you can use rechargeable batteries, this will reduce the
operational life due to their lower voltage / capacity.
• Close battery compartment.
• After you have inserted the batteries, all LC-display segments are
actuated briefly, after which the version number is displayed.
• The base station then enables synchronization mode for 10 minutes.
During synchronization the display shows ”SY”, with a counter under-
neath that counts down the 10 minutes.
• After synchronization, the following data appear on the display:
Top row (“Display panel A”, see next page):
- If no sensor is received: Temperature of the integrated sensor (indoor
temperature)
- If one sensor is received: Temperature reading for this sensor
-
If more than one sensor is received: Temperature reading for the sensor
with address 8 (this is the pool sensor
E9310 in default setting), or for
the sensor with the lowest sensor address.
If you have changed the address of the pool sensor E9310, you
will need to change display panel A to this address (1...8, see
chapter 9.2.1.).
Bottom row (”Display panel B”, see next page):
- Temperature and air humidity of the integrated sensor
Additional you can see the associated comfort indicator and trend
indicator.
• You can either wall-mount the base station (there is a cut-out at the
rear for this purpose) or use the plastic base, placing the base station
on a level surface.
• If you wish to use the plastic base, first slot the lower spikes into the
slots at the rear of the base station (below the battery compartment).
Then, swivel the plinth slightly towards the front until the two other
spikes lock into slots at the bottom of the base station.

The frost warning is not deactivated until temperature rises above 41°F.
If required, you can enable an audible warning along with the frost warning
(see chapter 10.3).
• The alarm value of 39.2˚F is fixed and not adjustable.
• The frost warning is only enabled for the sensors displayed in
display panel A and B; in other words, if the temperature of
sensors not currently displayed falls below 39.2˚F, no alarm
occurs.
9.6. Activating the temperature alarm
You can set up high and/or low temperature thresholds.
If the temperature exceeds a threshold, a temperature alarm occurs.
• Status indicator ”HI”: upper temperature threshold is exceeded
• Status indicator ”LO”: temperature below lower temperature threshold
If you assign temperature threshold values, as described in chapter 10.2,
a temperature alarm automatically occurs.
To disable the temperature alarm, set the threshold to ”--.-“ (see Chapter
10.2).
If required, you can enable an audible warning with the temperature alarm
(see Chapter 10.3).
• The temperature alarm is only enabled for the sensors dis-
played in display panel A and B; in other words, if the tem-
perature of sensors not currently displayed exceeds one of
these thresholds, no alarm occurs.
9.7. Switching off audible alarm signal
- Press any key, to switch the audible warning off immediately.
The signal generator function remains enabled after switching off
the audible warning. However, audible warnings are blocked, for
as long as the temperature measurement causing the alarm is
outside of the normal range. For example, if a permanent frost
warning exists, there will be no audible alarm for the next tem-
perature measurement from the sensor in question. The audible
alarm is not reenabled until the measurement (frost warning or
min./max. temperature) causing the alarm returns to normal for
a minimum of one measurement.

rature threshold for any sensor. A tem-
perature alarm occurs for temperatures
outside the threshold values.
• The temperature alarm is disabled
as a factory default (no thresholds
are set).
• The configurable range is between
-21.8˚F and +175.8˚F indepen-
dently of the sensor type. Take the
sensor’s range into consideration
when setting the alarm limits.
• To set only a high or low threshold,
set the other threshold to ”– – .– ”
(disabled).
This is the setting that follows the
value of “+175.8˚F”.
• The temperature alarm only applies
to the active sensors, that is, the
sensors displayed on panels A and
B. If the temperature of a sensor
that is not displayed is above/below
the threshold, no alarm occurs.
