[. . . ] DIGITAL WEATHER FORECASTER WITH REMOTE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR AND RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK MODEL NO. : BAR182HG USERS MANUAL INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Weather forecaster with cable free sensor and radio-controlled calendar clock (BAR182HG). This unit has a large four-line liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying weather forecast information, in/outdoor temperatures and relative humidity, radio frequency (RF) controlled calendar clock, clock display of 2nd time-zone and dual daily alarms. Also, the main unit can support up to three remote sensors. Other features include weekday display in four abbreviated languages, crescendo alarm and interchangeable clock display modes. MAIN FEATURES: MAIN UNIT I A A1 B C D E F G H MODEL NO. [. . . ] This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature and humidity readings will resume once the interference recedes. To display temperature / humidity readings from the main unit: Press [CHANNEL] until a dot is displayed in the box under the kinetic-wave. 6 HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the main unit. There are three possible forms: The unit is in searching mode. Transmission data are securely registered. No signal received in search mode. THE COMFORT-LEVEL ICONS The comfort level indicators COM, WET or DRY will tell you if the current environment is comfortable, too wet or too dry. The comfort indicator will appear on the display when the following conditions are satisfied: Indicator displays on the unit Temperature Range Humidity Range Shows that the Current Environment Ideal range for both relative humidity and temperature Contains excess moisture. Contains inadequate moisture No comment COM 20°C to 25°C 40%RH(68°F to 77°F) 70%RH -5°C -+ 50°C OVER(23°F - 122°F) 70%RH -5°C -+ 50°C Below (23°F - 122°F) 70%RH Less than 20°C( 68°F) or More than 25°C (77°F) 40%RH to 70%RH REMOTE SENSOR SCANNING The unit can be set to automatically scan and display readings from the remote sensors and indoor readings. When the remote-sensor mode is active, the display will show the readings from one channel for about 4-second and then proceed to the next channel display. To activate the remote-sensor scanning mode: Press and hold [CHANNEL] for 2-seconds. To deactivate the remote-sensor scanning mode: Press either [CHANNEL], [MEM], [HI/LO], [ I ], [ ON / OFF] WET DRY No Indicator (TEMP % RH AL) 7 GB GB TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY & PRESSURE TREND INDICATORS The temperature-trend, humidity-trend and pressure trend indicators show the trends of collected readings. Arrows indicate a rising, steady or falling trend. Arrow indicator Temperature Trend Rising Steady Falling MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY The maximum and minimum recorded temperature and humidity readings will automatically be stored in the memory. To display the maximum and minimum display memory: 1. Press [MEM] once to display the maximum temperature and humidity and again the minimum temperature and humidity. The respective indicators, MAX or MIN will be displayed. To clear the memory: Press and hold [MEM] for 2-seconds. If you press [MEM] now, the maximum and minimum recordings will have the same values as the current ones until different readings are recorded. Arrow indicator Humidity Trend Rising Steady Falling Arrow indicator Steady Falling HOW TO USE CHANNEL-1 TEMPERATURE/ HUMIDITY ALARM Rising Pressure Trend Upper and lower temperature and humidity limits for channel-1 can be set so that an alarm activates when the limits are exceeded. The high and low temperature and humidity displays are selected by sequentially pressing [ HI/LO ]. Note: If the readings goes above or below the measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit ( stated in specification), the display will show HHH or LLL. 8 The high-low displays are as follows: Sequence Pressing HI/LO once Pressing HI/LO twice Pressing HI/LO third time Pressing HI/LO fourth time Respective Display Enters HI temperature display Enters HI humidity display Enters LO temperature display Enters LO humidity display The respective HI, LO or both indicators will light up to signify the status of the alarm. If in another channel other than channel one is selected, when the alarm activates the display will switch to channel-1 and the display will flash. If left untouched, the alarm will activate for a 1-minute. Press [CHANNEL], [MEM], [HI/LO], [I], [ ON / OFF] to (TEMP % RH AL) momentarily stop the alarm. The alarm will activate again if the limit continues to exceed the set limit. Note: If a second limit is passed while an alarm is active, the first alarm will complete its 1-minute cycle and the alarm will continue to activate for a second minute to indicate that a second limit has been surpassed. [. . . ] When an alarm is armed, it will go off at the set time. The four-step crescendo function allows the alarm to start off gently and step up its intensity every 20 seconds for four times. Without interruption, the alarm will go off for a total of two minutes. If no key is pressed to turn off the alarm within these 2 minutes, the alarm will go off once more after 8 minutes. [. . . ]
