Operation Manual
signal transmission or reception. Neighbors using electrical devices
operating on the 433MHz-signal frequency can also cause
interference.
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery
cover of either the transmitter or Weather station, as the batteries may
spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen
accidentally then reset all units (see “Setting up” above) otherwise
transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 100 meters from the Temperature
transmitter to the Weather Station (in open space). However, this depends
on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is
possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to
be reset (see “Setting up” above).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
The Weather Station provides the option of table
standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall
mounting, please check that the outdoor
temperature(s) can be received from the desired
location(s). To wall mount:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall,
leaving the head extended out by about 5mm.
2. Remove the stand from the Weather Station by
pulling it away from the base and hang the
station onto the screw. Remember to ensure
that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be
attached to a wall with the three screws supplied.
Before securing the transmitter, ensure that the
433MHz signal (outdoor temperature readings) is
properly received. To attach to the wall, please
follow the steps below:
1. Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in
the holder to obtain the exact drilling position.
2. Drill holes in the wall at the points marked.
3. Screw holder onto wall.
There is also double sided tape included with the wall mount. On smooth
surfaces this can be used instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface
can, however, affect the transmission range. If for example the unit is
attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the
transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on
any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly
polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double
glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Weather
station can receive the 433MHz signal from the Temperature transmitter
at the positions that you wish to situate them.
The Temperature Transmitter simply clicks in or out of the holder. When
inserting or removing the Temperature Transmitter from the wall holder
please hold both units securely.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as
these may cause damage to the units and give inaccurate forecasts
