GETTING STARTED
Place the instruments on a desk with a distance of approximately 1,5 meters. Avoid being close to
possible sources of interference such as electronic devices and radio installations.
Open the battery compartment of the transmitter.
Set the switch to the channel 1 position.
Insert two new AAA 1,5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
Close the battery compartment carefully.
Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert three new AAA 1,5 V batteries, polarity
as illustrated.
All segments will be displayed briefly.
Close the battery compartment again.
TRANSMITTER RECE TION
After the batteries are inserted the base station will automatically receive the measured values. The
reception symbol will be flashing on the display.
If the reception of the measured values fails, „ “ appears on the display. Check the batteries and try
it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
As soon as the base station receives the radio controlled time, you can start the transmission
reception manually. You can find more informations in paragraph Manual transmitter search.
If a base station doesn’t receive signal from successfully received transmitter for more than 60
minutes, it will show “–. –”. Data on display will be restored when signal is received again.
RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME RECE TION
After the base station has completed searching for the transmitter, the device starts scanning the DCF
signal and the DCF reception icon will be flashing.
When the time code is successfully received after 2 10 minutes, the radio controlled time, the DST
(if applicable) and DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
If the base station is unable to synchronize with the DCF signal, you can also set the time manually
or attempt reception again.
You can restart DCF reception search manually if you press button RCC / SET.
If you are in a country where the DCF signal is still being received, but the current time is different,
Page 2 / 5
EN
you can use the time zone setting to set the weather station to the current time in your country.
There are three different reception symbols:
◦flashing – reception is active
◦solid – reception is very good
◦no symbol – no reception / set the clock manually
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which 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 transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio controlled temperature station
receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. The quality of the
reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems
within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
•Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum
of 1.5 2 meters.
•Within ferro concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.
In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the
Frankfurt transmitter.
•During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
O ERATION
Setting time, time format, temperature unit and time zone
•Press and hold button RCC / SET to enter time setting mode. Digits of hours starts to blink.
•Press buttons MEM / ▼ or CH / ▲ to decrease or increase hours.
•Press button RCC / SET to confirm and enter next setting in sequence minutes – time format –
temperature unit – time zone. Press buttons MEM / ▼ or CH / ▲ to adjust it.
Additional outdoor transmitters
•For having more than one external transmitter, select different channels for each sensor with the
switch 1 2 3 in battery compartment of each sensor.
•If you have installed more than one transmitter, press button CH / ▲ to toggle between transmitters
CH1, CH2, CH3 or loop display (interval 5 seconds).
Manual transmitter search
•Hold button CH / ▲ for 3 seconds. All wireless records will be cleared and LCD will display “–.
–”. The base station tries to receive the measured values for 3 minutes.
•You can initiate transmittion manually by pressing the TX button in battery compartment of sensor.
Maximum and minimum values
•Press button MEM / ▼ to show the maximum (MAX) values of temperature and humidity. Press the
button MEM / ▼ again to show minimum (MIN) values.
•If you press and hold the button MEM / ▼ for 3 seconds, the maximum and minimum values are
deleted and reset to the actual value.
Frost alert
•If the outdoor temperature drops to value ≤ 3 °C, the frost warning alert [A 15] on display appears.
Mold alert
•If the indoor humidity drops to value ≥ 70%, the mold warning alert [A 17] on display appears.
Ventilation recommendation
•Based on the outdoor and indoor humidity values, the station recommends opening the window or
Page 3 / 5
EN
closing the window to improve the room climate.
Climate change
•Station uses the measured data (indoor and outdoor) to calculate the expected change in the room
climate. The symbols show how ventilation will affect the room climate.
The expected increase in indoor absolute humidity will be more than 0.8 g/m3.
The expected increase or decrease in indoor abs. humidity will be within max. 0.8 g/m3.
The expected decrease in indoor absolute humidity will be more than 0.8 g/m3.
Humidity comfort indication with history
•Based on the indoor humidity value, the station displays the current indoor humidity in five levels:
TOO WET > 70 %
WET 61 % 70 %
COMFORT 40 % 60 %
DRY 30 % 39 %
TOO DRY < 30 %
•Station shows graphically on a timeline (now, 3 hours ago / 6 hours ago / 9 hours ago / 12 hours ago)
the indoor humidity levels that were reached.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean your instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

BATTERY RE LACEMENT
When the battery symbol [A 9] appears on display beside a channel number, replace the batteries of
the respective transmitter.
Change the batteries of the base station, when the symbol of battery appears on display of indoor
values.
NOTE: When the batteries are changed, ID between transmitter and base station must be restored –
so please always follow instructions in paragraph Getting started or start manual transmitter search.
