1. General The BA 1010US LCD Barometer displays the current air pressure in a round, stylised instrument display as well as a numerical digit display. Analoguous to traditional barometers, the electronic display moves in the direction of the current trend when the housing is tapped. Also, the trend of the air pressure development is conveniently displayed by means of an arrow/symbol display and the local weather forecast is shown by means of an easy to understand weather symbol.
Please read the complete instructions thoroughly before initial operation; these instructions contain information for the correct use of this device. Intended use The BA 1010US LCD Barometer is intended for indoor use with maximum humidity of 95 % and a temperature range of -19.9 °C to +70 °C. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for the consequences of improper use; all rights under the warranty will be forfeited. 2. Safety and maintenance information - Do not open the device.
3. Commissioning 3.1. Inserting the batteries Open the battery compartment on the back of the display device. Place three 1.5 V Mignon batteries (LR 6 / Mignon / AA alkaline) into the battery compartment, ensuring that the polarity is correct, and then close the battery compartment.
3.2.
4. Operation 4.1. Initialisation The device switches on automatically when the three Mignon batteries are inserted. In some cases it may happen that the device does not begin operation after the batteries are inserted, in which case nothing is shown in the display. If this happens, remove the batteries and reinsert to produce a display. This problem does not influence the further operation of the device. After the segment test, the current data are displayed. 4.2.
4.3. Setting sensor address for outdoor sensor - Commissioning and addressing the outdoor sensor is to be performed in accordance with their respective instructions. - First position the outdoor sensor near the barometer and then carry out addressing on the barometer as follows: - Press the middle button on the back for approximately 2 seconds until “SEN x” appears in the display. The “X” stands for a sensor address. - Using the upper button, you can now select the address (1-8) set on the sensor.
development in the next few hours. One point also shows the weather forecast. An arrow shows the air pressure development trend if there are air pressure changes. - Analoguous to traditional hand-display barometers, the air pressure indicator updates in the direction of the trend when the display is tapped a few times. 4.4.2. Temperature, humidity, climate - In the centre of the display the temperature and humidity values of the currently selected sensor location are shown.
5. Changing the batteries A change of batteries is necessary if the display becomes unusually pale or disappears altogether. Then it is time to change batteries in accordance with Section 3.1.
6. Range and reception interference The free field range (i.e. the range of the line of sight contact between the transmitter and the receiver) is 100 m under optimum conditions. Walls and even reinforced concrete can be penetrated, which does, however, reduce the range. Before mounting the system, try out interferencefree reception at different times of the day. Reduced range can have the following causes: ● ● ● ● ● ● High frequency interference of all kinds. Buildings of all types or vegetation.
