• There are three different reception symbols:
flashing – reception is active
stays – reception is very good
No symbol – no reception / set time manually
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, trans-
mitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears
and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual settings).
7. Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by
the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of
less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from
Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a trans-
mitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this
signal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or
winter time is automatic. On the display appears a symbol during the Daylight Sav-
ing Time.The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location.
The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
•
The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or
TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
•
Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to
improve the reception.
•
During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and recep-
tion is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the
accuracy deviation under 1 second.
8. Operation
• Attention: During the reception of the outdoor values and the radio-controlled
time a button operation is not possible.
•
Press and hold the MIN/MAX/- or CHANNEL/+ button in the respective setting
mode for fast running.
•
The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for a
long period of time.
8.1 Manual settings
•
Press and hold ALARM/SET button in normal mode.
•
RCC appears on the display.
•
On (default) will be flashing and you can deactivate (OFF) the DCF reception with
the MIN/MAX/- or CHANNEL/+ button.
•
Press the ALARM/SET button to make the settings in the following sequence: Time
zone (ZON - default OH), the 12 or 24 hours system (24 H - default), the hours, the
minutes, the indication for the date (D-M default), the month, the day, the year
and the possibility of the automatic reset of the maximum and minimum values
(CLR - default ON). Press the MIN/MAX/- or CHANNEL/+ button to adjust it.
•
Confirm the setting with the ALARM/SET button.
6. Getting started
6.1 Insert the batteries
• Place the instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5 meter. Avoid
getting close to possible interference sources (Electronic devices and radio installa-
tions).
6.1.1 Installation of the pool sensor (Fig. 5)
• Turn the locking bolt 90° and remove it.
• Turn the lid strongly in direction of the arrow (open), see page 78, fig. 5!
• Please pay attention to the connection cable when opening.
• Open the battery compartment of the pool sensor by lifting the battery compart-
ment cover at the recess.
• Insert four new batteries 1,5 V AAA, polarity as illustrated.
• The LED signal lamp will be flashing.
• On the display of the pool sensor appear the channel number 1 and the tempera-
ture in °C.
• Close the battery compartment and carefully screw the lid in direction of the
arrow (close).
• Pay attention to the sealing ring.
• Insert the locking bolt from the bottom side in the hole and lock the lid.
6.1.2 Installation of the basic station
• Open the battery compartment and insert four new batteries 1.5 V AAA, polarity
as illustrated.
• The device will alert you with a beep.
• All LCD segments will be displayed briefly.
• On the upper display of the basic station appear the indoor temperature and
humidity.
• The pool sensor automatically uses channel number one and is displayed in the
lower display. If the reception is successfully, on the display appear the water tem-
perature with the maximum and minimum values.
• Close the battery compartment again.
6.2 Reception of the outdoor values
• After the batteries are inserted, the measuring values of the pool sensor will be
transmitted to the basic station. The LED signal lamp will be flashing. If the recep-
tion of the outdoor values fails, “- -” appears on the display of the basic station.
Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
Press the RESET button on the pool sensor.
• As soon as the basic station received the radio-controlled time, you can start the
initialization manually. Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for three seconds. A
short beep will be heard and the basic station will scan the outdoor values.
6.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flash-
ing on the display. When the time code is received successfully after a few min-
utes, the radio-controlled time, the DCF symbol, optionally the Daylight Saving
symbol and the date are displayed steadily on the display.
• The DCF reception always takes place every six hours.
