Outdoor values reception
y After the batteries are inserted, the outdoor values of the outdoor sensors will be transmitted
to the base station.
y The base station will scan the outdoor values of the transmitters. The reception symbols of the tempera-
ture-humidity sensor (Fig.1-C7), the wind sensor (Fig.1-E1) and the rain sensor (Fig.1-D1) are ashing.
y If reception is successful, beeps sound and the outdoor values are permanently displayed.
y Outdoor temperature and humidity appear on the display (Fig.1-C3+C4).
y The rainfall amount (initially 0.0 mm) (Fig.1-D5) and the wind speed (initially 0.0 km/h) (Fig.1-E5) are
displayed. To simulate values, move the rocker (Fig.3-E) or the wind wheel (Fig.4-A) (transmission time rain
sensor: 90 seconds, wind sensor: 31 seconds).
y If the reception of the outdoor values fails within three minutes, “- -“ appears on the display. Check the batter-
ies and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
y You can also start the outdoor transmitters search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter is lost or if
the batteries are changed):
y Press and hold the CHANNEL button (Fig.1-N) for three seconds to search for the temperature-humidity
sensor. Press the TX button (Fig.2-F)button in the transmitter’s battery compartment (Fig.2-H).
y Press and hold the RAIN button (Fig.1-G) for three seconds to search for the rain sensor.
y Press and hold the WIND button (Fig.1-H) for three seconds to search for the wind sensor.
y A beep will sound. The registered transmitter will be cancelled. The reception symbol of the transmitter
ashes and the base station will scan the outdoor values.
Reception of the DCF frequency signal
y After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF
symbol ashes on the display (Fig.1-B1).
y When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF
symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
y The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00 and 2:00 o’clock in the morning. If the reception was not
successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock.
y You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press the SET button (Fig.1-M).
The DCF reception symbol ashes.
y There are 3 different reception symbols:
y
ashing symbol: reception is active
y solid: reception is successful
y no symbol: no DCF reception
y If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can
be set manually.
y The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: “Manual settings”).
Note on radio-controlled time
y The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency
signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always
shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
y During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to
keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to
improve reception.
Operation
y During the operation, all successful settings will be conrmed by a brief beep tone. Provided that in the
setting mode the button tone is activated (BEEP ON).
y The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 10 seconds.
y Press the ALERTS button (Fig.1-O) to quit the setting mode.
y Press and hold the + or - button (Fig.1-K+L) in setting mode for fast mode.
Manual settings
y Press and hold the SET button (Fig.1-M) for three seconds to enter the setting mode.
y Beep ON (default) ashes on the display. Press the + or - button (Fig.1-K+L) to deactivate (OFF) or activate
again the button tone.
y Conrm the setting with the SET button.
y The next adjustable value ashes on the display.
y Use the + or - button to make the desired setting.
y Conrm with the SET button and go to the next setting.
y The sequence is shown as follows:
y Button tone ON/OFF (default: BEEP ON)
y DCF reception ON/OFF (default: DCF ON)
y Time zone -12/+12 (default: 0H)
y Hour, minute (Fig.1-B2)
y Year, month, day (Fig.1-B3)
y Atmospheric pressure setting (default: 1013 hPa) (Fig.1-F2)
y Unit of the wind speed (km/h (default), m/s or bft) (Fig.1-E5)
y Average wind speed (AVG 10, default) or maximum wind speed (TOP 1HR) (Fig.1-E6)
y Prevailing wind direction, optionally as cardinal points (default) or degrees (Fig.1-E4)
y Day-of-week language (default: GER) (Fig.1-B3)
DCF reception
y By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no
manual time setting is necessary.
y Once the DCF time reception is deactivated (DCF OFF) the clock must be manually set.
y If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is
received successfully.
Time zone setting
y In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction
y The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is
different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).
Atmospheric pressure setting
y The relative atmospheric pressure (Fig.1-F2) is referred to the sea level’s pressure and has to be adjusted
rst to your local altitude. Ask for the current atmospheric pressure of your home area (Local weather service,
Internet, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings and airport).
Day-of-week language setting
y In the setting mode you can choose the day-of-the-week language.
y Day-of-the-week language: German (GER), English (ENG), French (FRE), Italian (ITA), Dutch (DUT), Spanish
(SPA), Swedish (SWE) and Czech (CZE).
Temperature and humidity
Trend arrows
y The trend arrows (Fig.1-A4+C8) indicate whether the values for temperature and humidity of the last 15
minutes are increasing, steady or decreasing.
Temperature/humidity are increasing
Temperature/humidity are steady (change < 0.5°C/2%)
Temperature/humidity are decreasing
Maximum and minimum values
y Press several times the TEMP button (Fig.1-J) button in normal mode.
y You can now see the highest (HI) and lowest values (LO) (Fig.1-A3+C5) ) since the last reset with time and
date of recording.
y The sequence is shown as follows: Indoor temperature (HI/LO), indoor humidity (HI/LO), outdoor temperature
(HI/LO), outdoor humidity (HI/LO).
y If you have connected more than one temperature-humidity sensor, the highest and lowest values for addition-
al channels appear.
y Press the TEMP button once more, to go back to the current values display.
y The device will automatically quit the HI/LO mode if no button is pressed.
y Press and hold the - button (Fig.1-L) for 3 seconds while the maximum or minimum values are displayed to
clear the recorded readings (display - -).
