[. . . ] For basic settings the following menu is started by touching the Touch Screen in the center of the text display (last two lines on the LCD). Touching the display SETUP will enter the setup mode. 36 The basic settings can now be performed in the following successive order: LCD Contrast Contrast can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7 (Default 4). Time Zone Time Zones can be set in the range from -12 to +12 hours (Default 0 hours for Central Europe). DCF77 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) ON/OFF. In setting "OFF" the clock is operating as a normal Quartz clock (Default RCC ON). 12/24 hour Time Display Format (Default 24 h Format). Units · Temperature Display (Temp) in °C or °F (Default °C). 37 · Air Pressure (Press) in hPa or inHg (Default hPa). Relative Air Pressure (Rel. Pressure) To be set to the locally valid reference air pressure with regard to the local height above sea level (Default 1013, 0 hPa). Weather Tendency (Tendency) Setting to a definite switching threshold (2 hPa to 4 hPa) for a change in display of weather icons (Default 3 hPa). Storm Warning (Storm) Setting to a definite switching threshold for storm warning display at a decrease of air pressure from 3 hPa to 9 hPa over 6 hours (Default 5 hPa). Activate/Deactivate storm warning alarm with ON / OFF resp. (Default OFF). 38 Relearn Mode (Relearn Tx) Allows to newly recognize the outdoor transmitter (e. after a battery change in the transmitter) without the necessity of a comprehensive re-setup of all system components Acknowledge with CONFIRM. Default Settings (Factory Reset) Allows to clear all weather data form non-volatile buffer memory (EEPROM) and reset of all set and/or stored values to the factory settings set prior to shipment Acknowledge with CONFIRM. Note: It will take about 5 minutes for the factory reset process. During this period, the text "Factory Reset In Progress" will be shown. After the reset process is finished, the LCD will switch off and the text "Remove Battery" will be displayed. Remove the battery and perform system start again. See "3 - Putting in Operation" paragraph. Leaving the basic settings procedure (Setup Mode) with EXIT. 5 Display of stored Min/Max Values and Alarm Value Settings Named values are in each case upon recall being simultaneously displayed and flashing in their respective display sections. To recall named measuring and alarm values the menu shown below will have to be activated by touching the Touch Screen in the center of 39 the text display section (last two lines at the bottom of the LCD). The display of the values is started by touching the displays MINMAX or ALARMS resp. The continuance of the recalling process is essentially selfexplanatory. With MINMAX the below shown menu step is activated, which in return leads to the displays of the stored Min/Max values by use of MIN / MAX resp. , which on their part again can be directly selected. Note: · · · Up and down arrow indicate weather tendency Advanced storm warning is displayed by Rainy symbol with a flashing down arrow Every minute, when a new pressure reading is obtained, this value is compared to pressure readings from last 2 hours and the biggest resulting difference is displayed in the difference barometer. 43 8 Air Pressure History (Pressure History) The air pressure history shows the progress of the air pressure over a time period of 24 or 72 hours in form of a 7-step bar graph, where the length of the utmost right bar represents the present air pressure and the remaining bars show the progress of the air pressure with regard to the present air pressure. Note: The time resolution of the bar graph can be changed from fine (0 to -24 h) to coarse (0 to -72 h) and back by once touching the PRESSURE HISTORY section. 9 · · · · · Operating and Setting of the following Functions: Air Pressure (Pressure), Relative and Absolute Indoor Temperature (Indoor Temp) Indoor Humidity (Indoor Humidity) Outdoor Temperature (Outdoor Temp), Dew Point Outdoor Humidity (Outdoor Humidity) Important Note!Since the operating procedures and settings are similar for all steps to be carried out on the Touch Screen Weather Station for above functions, here, the procedure shall be explained only once by means of the following example "Air Pressure". 44 9. 1 Air Pressure (Pressure) Example for Activating the Displays of Stored Maximum Values Call up the menu on the text section by touching the PRESSURE section. Start with MAX in the menu section. Note: Display of the stored minimum values is from here possible through MIN analog to this example. Display of stored value. Proceed with MAX PRESSURE. Resetting of the displayed value to the present value with CONFIRM. Without resetting advance with EXIT. 45 End of Example Example for Setting of Alarms by means of the HI Alarms As in the example above here too call up the menu on the text section by touching the PRESSURE section. Start with ALARM in the menu section. Proceed with HI AL in the menu section. Note: Setting of the LO alarms is from here possible through LO AL analog to this example. Setting of high alarm value with UP or DOWN. [. . . ] User shall take an active part in the reuse, recycling and recovery of the electrical and electronic waste.
