[. . . ] there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission they can mostly be overcome by moving the mounting locations. 11 Note: Commonly the radio communication between receiver and transmitter in the open field can reach a distance of up to 330 feet providing that there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc. Radio interferences such as PC screens, radios or TV sets can, in bad cases, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing standing or mounting locations. 4 Setting Up Note: Because of the default settings already determined by the manufacturer it may not be necessary for the majority of users to perform ­ except the Relative Air Pressure (see further down) - any further basic settings. For basic settings, the following menu is started by touching the Touch Screen in the center of the text display (last 2 lines on the LCD). To recall measuring and alarm values, the menu shown below will have to be activated by touching the Touch Screen in the center of the text display section (last 2 lines at the bottom of the LCD). The display of the values is started by touching the displays MINMAX or ALARMS. 15 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, which on their part again can be directly selected. Note: During individual displays of the stored Min/Max values the top line of the LCD screen will automatically display the time and date of their storage. The following menu item will appear upon touching the display labelled ALARMS. Because of the constant access to the respective opposite menu item MINMAX/ALARMS, it is possible at any time to toggle between the MIN/MAX and ALARMS value displays. Any action can immediately be terminated through EXIT. 6 Radio-Controlled WWVB Clock The Radio-Controlled WWVB Clock is normally controlled by the radio signal of the WWVB time code transmitter and will thus set time and date automatically. Under bad reception conditions however both can be set manually as follows: Setting the Time The action is started by touching the time display in the TIME section of the Touch Screen. 16 Start TIME in the menu section (last 2 lines on the LCD). Set the hours and minutes. Leave the mode with EXIT or wait for automatic time-out. Setting the Date The action is started by touching the date display in the DATE section of the Touch Screen. Set the year, month and date of day. Leave the mode with EXIT. 17 Note: By touching the DATE section twice, the display will toggle between the following: · Date in MM. DD. YY format (12 hour time format) or Date in DD. MM. YY format (24 hour time format) · Weekday, Month, Date of Day (12 hour time format) or Weekday (in English abbreviation), Date of Day, Month (24 hour format) · Seconds · Set Wake-up Alarm Time Setting of Wake-up Alarm The action is started by touching the time display in the TIME section. Start ALARM in the menu section (last two lines on the LCD). Set hours and minutes of the wake-up time. Leave the mode with EXIT. Note: The wake-up alarm is activated/deactivated by twice touching the TIME section. Here the alarm symbol (((·))) will show or disappear after EXIT (or automatic time-out). 7 Weather Tendency Call up the tendency display by touching the weather symbol in the TENDENCY section. 18 The text section (last 2 lines on the LCD) will show because (with time and date) the weather condition corresponds to the presently displayed weather symbol Sunny, Fair (Cloudy with sunny intervals) or Rainy. 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. 8 Air 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 touching the PRESSURE HISTORY section once. 19 9 · · Features and Operations Air Pressure (Pressure), Relative and Absolute Wind Speed, Wind Gust Important Note!Because the operating procedures in all measurements are identical, the various functions of the weather station will be explained once here by the following example of "Air Pressure". 9. 1 Air Pressure Example for Activating the Displays of Stored Maximum Values Call up the menu on the text section by touching the PRESSURE section. (Similarly, if user wants to check the wind measurements, the WIND section should be touched. ) 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. 20 Resetting of the displayed value to the present value with CONFIRM. Without resetting advance with EXIT. End of Example Example for Setting of Alarms by means of the HI Alarms In this example the setting up of Pressure high/ low alarm will be demonstrated.
