Note:
When the 915MHz 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, reset all units (see “Setting up” above), or transmission
problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 300 feet from the Thermo-hygro
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 data can be received from the desired
locations.
TO WALL MOUNT:
1.
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving
the head extended out by about
0.2” (5mm).
42
2.
Place the weather station onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the weather
station down to lock the screw into place.
FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS:
The foldout table stands legs are located on the
backside. Simply unfold the stands on the back. Once
the foldout table stands are extended, place the weather
station in an appropriate location.
POSITIONING THE THERMO/HYGRO TRANSMITTER:
The remote thermo/hygro transmitter can be placed onto
any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which
doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
43
TO WALL MOUNT:
1.
Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the
screws and plastic anchors.
2.
Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the
bracket.
Note:
The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance,
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 to
place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large
metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage
doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that
the Temperature Station can receive the 915MHz signal from the
temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to place them.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
x
Extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks should be avoided as
these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts
and readings.
44
x
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only.
Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD
and casings.
x
Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in
place where the units are adequately protected against moisture
and rain.
x
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and
damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended
type.
x
Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their
original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer.
Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their
guarantee.
x
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature
changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and readings
and thereby reduce their accuracy.
