SETTING UP:
1. First, insertthe batteries into the Weather Station (see “How to install and replace
batteries in the Weather Station”below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of
the LCD will lightup brieflyand a short signaltone willsound. Following the displayof the
time as 0:00, the seconds, the date as 1.1.04,the moon and stars icons, the weather icons,
air pressure 1013.0 hPa and some weather information, the indoor temperature and
humiditywill be measured. If the indoor temperature and humidityare not displayed after 30
seconds,remove the batteriesand waitfor at least 15 seconds before reinserting them.
Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to step 2.
2. Within 3 minutes of activating the Weather Station,place the batteriesinto the transmitter
(see “How to installand replace batteries in the Outdoor Thermo-hygrotransmitter“
below).
3. After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Weather Station will start receiving data
from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and humidityshould then be displayed on the
Weather Station. Ifthis does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be
removed from both units and resetfrom step 1.
4. The Weather Station can receive up to3 remote Thermo-hygro transmitters. If you have
purchased additionaltransmitters, repeat from step 2 for all extra transmitters.However,
ensure that you leave 10 secondsin between the reception of the lasttransmitter and the
set-up of the following transmitter.The Weather Station will number the transmittersin the
order of set-up, i.e. the first transmitter will have the temperature and humiditydisplayed
with the number 1 against itand so on.
5. With less than 3 transmitters received, the weather station will tryto pickup the remaining
one in approximately3 minutes.If3 transmitters are received, the weather station will stop
further reception.
6. Once the outdoor temperature and humidityreception has been completed and data had
been displayed on the Weather Station,the DCF-77 time code reception isautomatically
started. This takes typicallybetween 3-5 minutes in good conditions.
7. Ifafter 10 minutes, the DCF time has not been received, use the SET keyto manuallyenter
a time initially. The clockwill automaticallyattemptto receive the DCF time from 2:00 to
6:00 am for a successful reception. When DCF signal reception is successful, the received
time will override the manuallysettime.The date is also updated with the received time.
The nextreception attempt will occur on the following day.(Please refer also to noteson
“Radio controlled Time Reception” and “Manual Time Setting”).
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION
The Weather Station uses3 xAA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries.When batteries need to be replaced,
the lowbatterysymbol will appear on the LCD.

27
To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps
below:
1. Insert finger or other solid objectin the space at the
bottom center of the batterycompartment and lift up to
remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity(see
batterycompartment marking).
3. Replace batterycover.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE OUTDOOR THERMO-
HYGRO TRANSMITTER
The outdoor Thermo-hygro transmitter uses 2xAA IEC LR6, 1.5Vbatteries. To
install and replace the batteries, please follow the stepsbelow:
1. Remove the batterycover at the front side with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries,observing the correct polarity(see battery
compartmentmarking).
3. Replace the batterycover on the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in anyof the units, all units need to be reset byfollowing the
setting up procedures. This is becausea random securitycode is assigned bythe transmitter at
start-up and thiscode must be received and stored bythe Weather Station in the first 3 minutes
of power being supplied to it.
BATTERY CHANGE:
Itis recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum
accuracyofthese units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries
to an authorised depot.
DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME RECEPTION:
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clockoperatedbythe
Physikalisch Technische BundesanstaltBraunschweigwhich has a time deviation of less than
one second in one million years.The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near
Frankfurtvia frequencysignal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and hasa transmitting range of approximately
1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station receives this signal and converts it to showthe
precise time in summer or wintertime.
The qualityof the reception depends greatlyon the geographic location. In normal cases, there
should be no reception problems within a 1,500km radius around Frankfurt.
After the temperature and humidityreception is completed in initialsetup, the DCF tower icon in
the clockdisplaywill start flashing in the upper right corner of the firstsection of the LCD. This
indicates that the clockhasdetected the presence of a radio signal and is trying to receive it.
When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanentlylit and the radio-
controlled time will be displayed.
Ifthe tower icon flashes, butdoes notset the time or the DCF tower doesnot appear at all, then
please take note of the following:
•Recommended distance to anyinterfering sourceslike computer monitorsor TV sets isa
minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, pleaseplace the unit close toawindow and/or point its front
or backtowards the Frankfurt transmitter.

ALM STOP key
•During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usuallyless severe and reception is
possible in most cases. A single dailyreception is adequate to keep the accuracy
deviation below1 second.

WEATHER ALARMOPERATIONS
WEATHER ALARMS
The Weather alarms are settable for when certainweather conditionsare met according to the
users requirements. For example, the user can setthe thresholds for the outdoor temperature to
+40°C(high) and -10°C(low), whilst onlyenabling the high alarm and disabling the low alarm
(i.e. temperatures <-10°C won’t trigger alarm, buttemperatures>+40°C will).
Alarm setting Minimum Maximum
Air Pressure 920.0 hPa 1080.0 hPa
Outdoor Temperature -30.0°C +69.9°C
Indoor Temperature -10.0°C. +59.9°C
Humidity(all) 1% RH 99% RH
HYSTERESIS
To compensate for fluctuation ofthe measured data, which maycause the weather alarm to
sound constantlyif the measured reading is close to user set level, a hysteresis function has
been implemented for each weather alarm. For example,if the high temperature alarm is setto
+25°Cand the current value moves to+25°C, the alarm will be activated (if it has been
enabled). Nowwhen the temperature dropsto +24.9°C or below and thereafter again increases
to beyond +25°C, the data willbe blinking, butno alarm will be activated. Ithas to drop tobelow
+24°C(with a pre-set hysteresis of 1°C) so that the alarm can be produced again. Hysteresis
values for the various weather data types are given in the following table:

38
Weather data Hysteresis
Temperature 1°C
Humidity 3% RH
Air pressure 1 hPa
GENERALALARM
The generalalarm indicator (red LED) and the generalalarm icon will flash when any Weather
Alarm occurs.
General Alarm Indicator
The generalalarm indicator islocated at the top of the weather station. It will flash when any
weather alarm occurs to indicate thata set weather condition has been reached.
To stop the general alarm indicator from flashing press the ALMSTOP (or anyother keys) to
switch off the indicator.
General Alarm Icon
The generalindoor alarm icon will flash when indoor temperature alarm, indoor humidityalarm

WEATHER FORECASTAND WEATHER TENDENCY:
WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:
There are 4weather icons in the fourth section of LCDwhich can be displayed in anyof the
following combinations:
SunnyCloudywith sunny intervals CloudyRainy
For everysudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update
accordinglytorepresent the change in weather. Ifthe icons do notchange, then it means either
the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slowfor the Weather station to
register. However,if the icon displayed is a sun orrainy, there willbe no change oficon if the
weather gets anybetter (with sunnyicon) or worse (with rainyicon) since the icons are already
at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not
necessarilysunnyor rainyas each icon indicates.For example,if the current weather is cloudy
and the rainyicon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faultybecause itis not
raining. It simplymeans that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get
worse but not necessarilyrainy.
The change of weather forecasticon is in accord to the relationship between currentrelative
pressure and the pressure change since lastthree hours.
Ifthe weather is changing, both oldweather icon and newweather icon will be shown with
weather tendencyindicator (animated arrows). If the weather has notchanged within 6 hours,
onlythe new weather icon in the middle displaywill be shown.
Examples of changing weather icons:
Note:
After initialsetup ofthe Intelligent Weather Station with the setting of the relative value,
readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow

40
sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at a constantaltitude and
therefore resultin a more accurate forecast.
Ifthe Intelligent Weather Station is moved to another location significantlyhigher or lower than
its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), set
again the relative air pressure value,and discard the weather forecastfor the next 12-24 hours.
Bydoing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the newlocation as being a possible change
in air-pressure when reallyit is due to the slight change of altitude.
AIR PRESSURE TENDENCY INDICATOR
The air pressure tendencyindicators are located on the left side of the air pressure display,
below the Weather icons, and theyworkindependentlyfrom the Weather forecast icons.The air
pressure tendencyindicator pointing upward or downward directions is displayed based on
comparing the difference of the air pressure recorded during a full hour time frame.
Note:
•A single air pressure tendencyindicator will point upward or downward when the
difference in airpressure registered is between 1 and 3hPa within 4 hours.
•Twoair pressure tendencyindicators pointing upward or downward will be displayed when
the air pressure difference has increased or decreased by3hPa or more within 4 hours.
AIR PRESSURE
The 5th and 6th sections of the sections of the LCD showthe relative airpressure and the air
pressure history.
The reference relative air pressure (hPa) can be set between 960 to 1040hPa.See “Relative
pressure value setting” in manual setting.
BAR GRAPH DISPLAY
Depending on programming conditions,displayof the historyof airpressure inform ofagraph
consisting of vertical bars.
AIR PRESSURE HISTORY
The bar graph ofthe electronic barometer shows the air pressure history of the past36 hours in
17 steps.
The horizontal axis representsthe last 36 hours air pressure recording (-36, -24, -12, -6, -5, -4, -
3, -2, -1, and 0 hour). The barsare plotted at each ofthe 17 stepsand give the trend over the
recorded period. The scale on the right compares the result. The ″0″in the middle of this scale
determines the current air pressure.
The vertical axisrepresentsthe air pressure changes inhPa (+8, +6, +4, +2, 0, -2, -4, -8. “0”
represents the current air pressure). Each change (±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±6, ±7, ±8; the odd values
are not shown on the vertical axis but can be determined) shows in Hekto-Pascal (hPa), how
high or lowthe past air pressure was as compared to the current one. Ifthe bars are rising it
indicates that the weather is getting better due to an increase in air pressure. Ifthe bars go down
it indicates a drop of the air pressure and the weather is expected to get worse from the present
time ″0″.
At everyfull hour the current airpressure is used as a basis for the displayof a newgraph bar.
The existing graph is then moved one bar to the left.

Note:
For accurate barometric pressure trend, the IntelligentWeather Station should operateat the
same altitude. For example, it should not be move from the ground to the second floor ofthe
house. Should the unit be moved toa newlocation, discard readingsfor the next12 – 36 hours.

OUTDOOR THERMO-HYGROTRANSMITTER/433MHZ RECEPTION CHECK
The outdoor temperature and humidityis measured and transmitted every60 seconds.

44
The transmission range ofthe Outdoor Thermo-hygro transmitter maybe affected bythe
ambient temperature.At cold temperaturesthe transmitting distance maybe decreased. Please
bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.
To install the Thermo-hygro transmitter outside,choose a shadyand dryplace.Before
fixing the Thermo-hygrotransmitter with the enclosed screws, wait for 30 minutes to see
if the receiver is able to scan the signal from this location. Obstacles (walls, windows,
trees) and interfering radio waves (PC, mobile phone, TV) can impede the reception or
limit the range (about 100 meters in open space) considerably.Should interference
occurred, choose another location for the Thermo-hygroTransmitter and/or the Weather
Station.
Ifthe outdoor temperature and humidity data are not being received within 1 minute after setting
up (or the outdoor displayshow“--.-“ in the outdoor section of the IntelligentWeather Station
after 3 failed attempts during normal operation). Please checkthe following points:
1. The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters away
from anyinterfering sources such ascomputer monitorsor TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximityof metal doors or
window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signalfrequency(433MHz) mayprevent correct signaltransmission and reception.
3. Neighboursusing electricaldevicesoperating on the 433MHzsignal frequencycan also
cause interference.
4. “Visibility” of weather station and transmitter (e.g. through awindow) increases the range.
Note:
When the 433MHzsignal is received, do not re-open the batterycover of either the transmitter
or Weather Station, asthe batteries mayspring free from the contacts and force a false reset.
Should this happen accidentallythen reset allunits (see Setting up above) otherwise
transmission problems mayoccur.
Ifno reception is possible despite the observation of these factors,all system units have to be
reset (see Setting up).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station hasbeen designed to be hung on a wall or free standing.
For Freestanding:
Pull out the easel on the backof the unit and place onto a flat surface.
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine.
Before wall mounting, please checkthat the outdoor temperature and
humidityvalues can be received from the desired locations. To wall
mount:
1. Fixa screw(not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head
extended outthe byabout 5mm.
2. Fold the stand of the Weather Station bypushing inward and hang
it onto the screw. Remember to ensure thatit locks into place
before releasing.
