FOR YOUR SAFETY:

• The product is exclusively intended for the field of application

described above. The product should only be used as

described within these instructions.

•

Unauthorised repairs, modifications or changes to the product

Risk of injury:

• Keep the instruments and the batteries out of reach of

children.

• Batteries must not be thrown into the fire, short-circuited,

taken apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!

• Batteries contain harmful acids. Low batteries should be

changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by a

leaking battery. Never use a combination of old and new

batteries together or batteries of different types. Wear

chemical-resistant protective gloves and glasses when

handling leaked batteries.

! Important information on product safety!

• Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures,

vibration or shock.

• The outdoor transmitter is protected against splash water, but

is not watertight. Choose a shady and dry position for the

outdoor transmitter.

• When water freezes remove the pool sensor.

ELEMENTS

The temperature station

The outdoor transmitter

• Remote transmission of outdoor

temperature to temperature station by 868

MHz signal

•

Wall mounting case

• Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid

direct rain and sunshine

The pool sensor

• Remote transmission of water temperature in pool or pond to

temperature station by 868 MHz signal

• Waterproof case

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE

OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

The outdoor transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3,

1.5V batteries. To install and replace the

batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Slide the battery cover downwards and

remove it.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct

polarity (see marking).

3. Replace the battery cover.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE

POOL SENSOR

The pool sensor uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and

replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Hold the body of the pool sensor and unlock the upper part by

turning it counter clockwise and separate it carefully from the

body.

2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Screw the two parts together again. Ensure that the cover is

flat and sufficiently tight secured (markings should

correspond). This will prevent water from entering the battery

compartment and subsequently damage the unit.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE

TEMPERATURE STATION

The temperature station uses 2 x

AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries. To

install and replace the batteries,

please follow the steps below:

1. Open the battery compartment

by pushing the battery cover

upwards with your thumb.

Insert batteries observing the

correct polarity (see marking).

2. Replace compartment cover.

SETTING UP

1. First, insert the batteries in the outdoor transmitter (see “To

install and replace batteries in the temperature

transmitter” above).

2. Then, insert the batteries in the pool sensor (see “To install

and replace batteries in the pool sensor” above)

3. Within 15 seconds of powering up the outdoor transmitter and

pool sensor, insert the batteries in the temperature station

(see “To install and replace batteries in the temperature

station” above). Once the batteries are in place, all segments

of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor

temperature/humidity and the time as 00:00 will be displayed.

If this information is not displayed on the LCD after 60

seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60

seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is

displayed user may proceed to the next step.

4. After the batteries are inserted, the temperature station will

start receiving data signal from the outdoor transmitter and

pool sensor. The outdoor temperature data should then be

displayed on the temperature station. If this does not happen

after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from all

units and reset from step 1.

5. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however,

the distance between the temperature station and the outdoor

transmitter should not be more than 100 meters and 25

meters to the pool sensor (in water). (see notes on

“Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).

Note:

In the event of changing batteries of the units, ensure the

batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at

least 1 minute after removing the batteries before reinserting,

otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

6. Once the outdoor data reception period is completed, the DCF

tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper

left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that

there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When

the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes

permanently lit and the time will be displayed.

RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME RECEPTION

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock

operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt

Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one

million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen

near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a

transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled

clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time.

‘Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatically.

The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic

location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems

within a 1.500 km radius of Frankfurt.

DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the

reception is not successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes

place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is

successful. If the reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the

next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am.

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like

computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.

• Within Ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures),

the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases,

please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front

or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.

• During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually

less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single

daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation

under 1 second.

FUNCTION BUTTONS:

Temperature station:

The device has 3 easy to use function buttons: 1 button on the front,

and 2 buttons on the back

LCD SCREEN

The LCD screen is split into 4 sections displaying the information for

time, indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature and pool

temperature.

* When the signal is successfully received by the temperature

station, the outdoor reception icon will be switched on. (If not

successful, the icon will not be shown on LCD). The user can then

easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not

(icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that

a reception is currently taking place.
