external air humidity will then show on the base station once

the search for the radio clock signal has finished.

If the transmission of the initial signal does not work, or if you

would like to speed up the process, press the TX key in the battery

compartment on the rear of the external sensor and the transmission

of the signal will then be activated manually.

The external sensor is set in the factory so that the transmission of the

signal takes place on channel 1. Wait a moment until the temperature is

shown on channel no. 1 on the main device. The sensor is now registered

on channel 1.

In order to ensure the transmission of the signal, the base station and the

external sensor should be a maximum of 40 metres apart. The range can

be limited by stonework, reinforced concrete, metal-framed windows

and fog. Overlapping radio waves can also affect reception. The external

sensor measures the temperature and humidity at intervals of 30 seconds.

If the data between the two measurements deviate only slightly from one

another then there will be no transfer to the base station. In order to

please read point 5.5.6c, Registering a second or third external sensor

Now you can screw the external sensor’s battery compartment cover

back on. As soon as the radio clock time is shown, we recommend you

set it in following way.

7. Frankfurt am Main, Germany is set by the factory as the basis

of calculation for the rising and setting of both the sun and the

moon. In order to receive the correct display for the rising and

setting of the sun and moon for your location, it is necessary to

take the setting for your country or the adjacent town to your

location as given in point 5.3, Rising and setting of the sun and

moon.

8. After inserting the batteries, the base station will begin by

displaying humidity of 1013 hPa (factory setting). In order to

receive a useful weather forecast it is necessary to configure

the settings specified as in point 5.6.1a, Setting the

atmospheric pressure values. This completes the process of

putting the Weather Station into operation. You can now place

or hang the external sensor where you want it to be (see point

6, Assembly).

5 Modes / Function keys

5.1 Time, date and time zone

5.1.1 Radio clock time

The time basis for the radio-controlled time display is one of the cesium

atom clocks operated by the Physikalischen-Technischen Bundesanstalt

in Brunswick, Germany. This time is coded (DCF77) and is transmitted

by a long-wave transmitter in Mainflingen near Frankfurt over a

transmission range of some 1,500 km. If your Weather Station is within

this transmission area, it receives this signal, converts it and always

displays the precise time and date irrespective of summer or wintertime.

Several times a day the radio clock time is automatically synchronised

by the base station in order to correct any possible deviations. If it is not

possible to receive a radio signal at the location of use, the time can also

be set manually (see point 5.1.2, Manual setting).

5.1.2 Manual Setting

If it is not possible to receive a radio signal at the location of use, you

can also set the time and date manually.

1. To set the time manually, press and hold the SET/ZONE key

for approx. 3 seconds until the year begins to flash. Press the

‘+

‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the year. Confirm with the

SET/ZONE key. The month will now begin to flash.

2. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the month. Confirm

with the SET/ZONE key. The day will now begin to flash.

3. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the day. The day of the

week will be automatically calculated and displayed. Confirm

with the SET/ZONE key. The hours will now begin to flash.

4. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the hours. Confirm

with the SET/ZONE key. The minutes will now begin to flash.

5. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the minutes. Confirm

with the SET/ZONE key. The 12/24-hour format will now

begin to flash.

6. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the 12/24-hour format.

Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The time zone will now

begin to flash.

The earth is divided into 24 time zones. A time zone is a section of the

earth’s surface where a common time applies. Usually it runs along the

longitude from the poles. On passing into another zone, time changes by

an hour. In an easterly direction this moves forward by an hour and in a

westerly direction it moves backward by an hour. If, for example, you

would like to set the time for a country which is 6 time zones west of

your country, you must input minus 6 hours.

7. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required time zone.

Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The country will now begin

to flash.

In order to display the time in the set time zone, press the

SET/ZONE key after the settings 1-9, ‘ZONE” will appear next to

the time. Press the SET/ZONE key again to return to the normal

time display.

8. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required country

(see also point 5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and

moon). Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The name of the

city will now begin to flash.

9. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required city (see

also point 5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and moon).

Confirm this last setting again with the SET/ZONE key. Now

the rising and setting times of the sun and moon will be

automatically calculated (even if the settings for country and

city have not been changed). The relevant times will appear

after approximately 17 seconds.

Tip: It may occur that while entering the country and city settings, the

radio clock signal is lost. You will know this has happened as the radio

tower symbol will no longer be indicated. In this case, please press and

hold the ‘– ‘ key to receive the radio clock signal again.

Tip: Please note that in the summer time phase, it is not absolutely

necessary to receive a daily radio clock signal. If this is not the case, then

it is possible that there is a deviation of an hour for the rising and setting

times of the sun and moon (the difference between summer and

wintertime). (For help, see point 9, Troubleshooting ‘The radio clock is

not receiving a radio clock signal”).

The settings are now completed.

5.2 Phase of the moon

The phase of the moon depends on the current date. It is automatically

calculated and the following symbols are displayed:

Full moon waning moon new moon

New moon waxing moon Full moon

5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and moon

Tip: Please note that this function depends on the date, i.e. it will

function once the base station has received the radio clock signal and

also the current time and date.

Frankfurt am Main is displayed as the initial city for the rising and

setting times of the sun and moon mode (factory setting).

1. To set the times for the rising and setting of the sun and moon

at your location, press and hold the SET/ZONE key until the

year begins to flash.

2. Press the SET/ZONE key (7 times) until the country display

begins to flash (see also point 5.1.2, Manual setting).

Flashing display for the country name

3. Now, by pressing the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key, select the

country. Please use the abbreviation for your country from the

country and city lists on the following page. Confirm your

choice with the SET/ZONE key. Now the name of the town

will flash.

Flashing display for the city name

4. Using the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key, you can now select the

towns which are listed in alphabetical order by abbreviation.

Please use the abbreviations from the country and city list on

the following page for the city which is closest to your location

and which is stored in the base station. Confirm your choice by

pressing the SET/ZONE key.

5. Now the times for the rising and setting of the sun and the

moon will be calculated. The relevant times will appear after

approximately 17 seconds.
