3. Configuració

3.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

1. Main Console: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main console. Insert three (3) 'AA' batteries (not included), observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment.
2. Sensor sense fils: Open the battery compartment on the back of the wireless sensor. Insert two (2) 'AAA' batteries (not included), observing the correct polarity (+/-). Lithium batteries are recommended for extended life and cold weather performance. Close the battery compartment.

3.2 Col·locació del sensor

For optimal performance, place the wireless sensor in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and precipitation. Ensure it is within the transmission range of the main console (up to 330 feet line of sight, typically 100 feet under most conditions). Avoid placing the sensor near large metal objects or electrical appliances that may interfere with the wireless signal.

3.3 Sincronització inicial

After installing batteries in both units, the main console will automatically begin searching for the wireless sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Once connected, the outdoor temperature and humidity readings will appear on the console display.

3.4 Atomic Clock Synchronization

The weather station is equipped with a radio-controlled clock (WWVB & DCF). Upon initial power-up, the console will attempt to synchronize with the atomic clock signal. This process can take several hours, especially in areas with weak signals. Ensure the console is placed away from electronic interference. The time will automatically update for daylight saving time (with an on/off option).

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Mostra finalview

The main console's LCD displays various environmental data and time information:

• Hora i data: Displays current time (12 or 24-hour format) and date.
• Temperatura i humitat interiors: Current readings inside.
• Temperatura i humitat exteriors: Lectures actuals del sensor sense fil.
• Pressió baromètrica: Current pressure reading and a 24-hour history graph.
• Icones de previsió: Graphical representation of predicted weather based on pressure trends.
• Min/Max Records: Highest and lowest recorded values for temperature and humidity.

4.2 Setting Time and Alarm

Refer to the specific buttons (SET, ALM) on the console for adjusting time, date, and setting the alarm. The atomic clock typically handles time setting automatically, but manual adjustments are possible if needed. The alarm features a snooze function.

4.3 Min/Max Data

Premeu el botó MIN / MAX button to cycle through the minimum and maximum recorded indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity values. These records are timestamped with the date and time they occurred.

4.4 Barometric Pressure and Forecast

6. Especificacions

7. Manteniment

• Neteja: Wipe the console and sensor with a soft, damp drap. Eviteu productes de neteja o dissolvents abrasius.
• Substitució de la bateria: Replace batteries in both units when the low battery indicator appears on the console. For the outdoor sensor, consider replacing batteries annually, especially before winter, to ensure continuous operation in cold temperatures.
• Protecció del sensor: Periodically check the outdoor sensor for debris or insect nests that might obstruct ventilation or affect readings. Ensure it remains protected from direct heavy rain or snow.

8. Solució De Problemes

• No es mostren dades exteriors:
  • Ensure batteries are correctly installed in both the console and sensor.
  • Verify the sensor is within range and not obstructed by large metal objects or thick walls.
  • Try bringing the sensor closer to the console temporarily to re-establish connection.
  • Reset both units by removing batteries, waiting a few seconds, and then reinserting them, starting with the sensor.
• Lectures inexactes:
  • Ensure the outdoor sensor is placed in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Allow sufficient time (at least 30 minutes) for readings to stabilize after setup or battery replacement.
  • Outdoor humidity can be calibrated if necessary (refer to advanced settings in the full manual).
• Atomic Clock Not Syncing:
  • Place the console near a window, away from electronic devices that may cause interference.
  • La sincronització inicial pot trigar fins a 24 hores.
  • Check if your location has a strong WWVB or DCF signal.
• Display Issues (e.g., dim, uneven lighting):
  • Assegureu-vos que les piles estiguin noves i completament carregades.
  • The LED backlight is temporary; press the appropriate button to activate it.
