RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME* A radio-controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio-controlled time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna. The radio- controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio-controlled time device. LCD “LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Cryst

The direct cable connection of Transmitter unit and Base Station can be used if: • the flexibility of 433 MHz radio transmission is not needed and • data transmission absolutely free of any environmental interferences is wanted. 3.2 Power Supply The Weather Station can be powered by the use of batteries, by the AC/DC adapter or, by direct cable connection. 3.2.1 Batteries: • First insert (2) "C" batteries into the battery compartment of the Transmitter unit. • Immediatel

Note: In both cases it is important to power the units in this order because the transmitter will send an identification code which has to be received and stored by the Base Station within the first few minutes of operation. After doing this, full operation of the entire Weather Station System is ensured. 3.2.3 Cable Connection: An additional feature of the direct cable connection (mentioned in Item 3.1 above) is when using the AC/DC adapter, power i

3.3 System Start After inserting the batteries and connecting the AC/DC adapter, the LCD of the Weather Station will, for a few seconds, display all possible display segments for checking. Immediately after this, the unit will enter the “play mode”, during which for about 15 minutes all measured and received weather data are being switched through, updated, and displayed. During this time period there will be no reception of the WWVB time information. Note: The play mode phase a

Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field can reach a distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc. Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting locations. 4 Setting Up Note: Because of the default se

Note: It will take 5 minutes for the factory reset process. During this period, the text “Factory Reset In Progress” will be shown. After the reset process is finished, the LCD will switch off and the text “Remove Battery” will be displayed.

With ٭MINMAX٭ the below shown menu step is activated, which in return leads to the displays of the stored Min/Max values by use of ٭MIN٭ / ٭MAX٭, which on their part again can be directly selected. Note: During individual displays of the stored Min/Max values the top line of the LCD screen will automatically display the time and date of their storage. The following menu item will appear upon touching the display labelled ٭ALARMS٭. Because of the constant access
