LUMAX
– Wireless weather station
1. Introduction
This new wireless thermometer consists on a base station with indoor sensors for room
temperature and atmospheric pressure and a remote sensor for measuring outdoor tem-
perature. So you get useful information about weather and temperature in and around
your house. This is fun and makes you curious to know more.
Please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it!

3. Getting started

• Place the display unit and the transmitter on a desk with a distance of approxi-
mately 1.5 meter. Check that no other electronic devices are close.
• Insert the adapter into the jack (O). Connect the power adapter to a wall socket.
Important: Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your
weather station may be damaged.
• When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD
segments will light up for about 2 seconds before it enters into learning mode to
learn the sensors security code.
• Pull down and take away the holder of the weather station and insert 2 x AAA
1,5 V batteries into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity.
• The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure.
• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter by pushing inwards the two
latches at the bottom and insert 2 x AA 1,5 V batteries, observing the correct
polarity.
• The LED indicator of the transmitter is blinking and the transmitter is set to
channel 1 by default.
• After the sensor is powered up, it will first transmit the temperature and then the
sensor will start radio controlled time reception. During the DCF time reception
period (maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted.
• After the reception of the radio controlled time the DCF signal appears perma-
nently on the display of the weather station.
• Note: DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY during the first 10 minutes learning period or be-
fore radio controlled time is displayed on the receiver. After both outdoor values
and radio controlled time are displayed you can place your remote sensor out-
doors at the final destination. In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for
example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set
manually. If the outdoor weather data is not displayed or if any key is pressed
before the weather station receives the signal, or when changing the transmitter
batteries you will need to follow the installation procedure again. Please wait
minimum 10 seconds to make a proper reset for both transmitter and receiver.
Note for Radio Controlled Time DCF:
• The time base for the radio controlled time is a Caesium Atomic Clock operated by
the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time de-
viation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and trans-
mitted 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 in summer or
wintertime. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic loca-
tion. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km
radius around Frankfurt.
