Positioning and mounting of the base station and the transmitter
y
When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct
sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages
the electronic components needlessly.
y
Place the base station in any room of the house. Make sure to avoid the
vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid
metal objects.
y
Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the
transmitter to the base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100m
in open areas). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the
transmission range can be reduced considerably.
y
If necessary, choose, another position for the outdoor transmitter
and/or receiver.
y
If the transmission is successful, you can place or wall mount the base station
and the outdoor transmitter with the suspension device.
Additional outdoor transmitters (optional)
y
When having more than one external transmitter, select a different channel for
each one with the 1/2/3 switch inside the transmitter’s battery compartment.
Insert two new AA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Start the base station
operation or the manual search for the outdoor transmitter.
y
Choose the respective channel by pressing the CHANNEL button.
y
Press and hold the CHANNEL button for three seconds. The last registered
transmitter (channel) will be cancelled and the manual search begins.
y
Press the TX button in the corresponding transmitter’s battery compartment.
The transmission of the outdoor data will take place immediately.
y
The outdoor values and the channel number will be shown on the base station
display. If you have installed more than one outdoor transmitter, press the
CHANNEL button on the base station to change between the channels 1 to 3.
y
You can also choose an alternating channel display. Press CHANNEL button.
After the last registered channel (1 to 3) a circle symbol will appear.
To deactivate the function press the CHANNEL button again.
y
After a successful installation close the outdoor transmitter’s battery
compartment carefully.
Battery replacement
y
As soon as the battery symbol
will appear on the outdoor values display
of the base station or on the display of the outdoor transmitter, change the
batteries of the outdoor transmitter.
y
Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol
appears
on the indoor values display.
y
Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the trans-
mitter and the receiver must be restored – so always insert new batteries into
both devices or start the manual search for the transmitter.
