OM 3528 D
GET STARTED
SETTING UP:
Step 1: insert the batteries into the Temperature Station first
(see "How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature
Station" below).
Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will
light up briefly and a short signal tone will sound. Then the
indoor temperature, the time as 0:00 and the date as 1.1. will be
displayed. If the indoor temperature is not displayed after a few
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds
before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed
proceed to step 2.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPE-
RATURE STATION
First, please open the Battery Compartment to check which kind
of battery the product use. Observe the correct polarity.
Step 2: In 3 minutes of activating the clock, to insert
2 new AAA battery (not included) into the transmitter.
Observe the correct polarity. And made sure the CH
is at channel 1.
Remark:
1) After inserting the batteries, the clock indicates default data,
the default RF channel is channel 1.Indoor temperature is
correctly indicated.
If the indoor temperature is not displayed after a few seconds,
remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before
reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed
to step 2.
2) After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Temperature
Station (clock) will start receiving transmissions from the
transmitter. Automatically received from RF for 3 minutes,
whilst the Antenna symbol is flashing
per 1HZ. When connecting to the RF signal,
the Antenna symbol is flashing.
The outdoor temperature should then be
displayed on the clock. If this does not happen
within 15 minutes, the batteries will need to be
removed from both units and reset from step 1.
Also press the transmitter's button 'test' under the battery
cover.
3) The Temperature Station (clock) will receive the outdoor
temperature automatically from channel 1 to channel 3.
4) Once the remote temperature has been received and is
displayed on the clock, the DCF-77 time code reception
is automatically started. This takes typically between 3-5
DIGITAL CLOCK
minutes in good conditions. This time period is an excellent
opportunity to locate the transmitter(s) in suitable location(s)
outdoors. In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission
,however, this should under good conditions be no more than
30 meters from where the clock will be finally positioned
5) If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use
the MODE key (3) to manually enter a time initially. The clock
will automatically attempt each hour to receive the DCF time.
When this is successful, the received time will override the
manually set time. The date is also updated with the received
time (Please refer also to notes on "Radio controlled time"
and "Manual time setting")
DCF RADIO-CONTROLLED (ATOMIC) TIME SEARCH
• Press the DOWN button to start or stop a manual signal
search. DCF Icon will flash when searching.
The time is coded and transmitted from Main flinger
near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)
and has a transmitting range of approximately
1,500km. Your radio-controlled Temperature Station 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 location. In normal cases, there should be no reception
problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Temperature
Station, 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. If the tower icon flashes, but
does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all,
then please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like com-
puter 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 - the reception is possible in most cases. A single
daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation
below 1 second.
REMARK: These three steps begin after power on. And they have
their own signals receiving time, will not interfere each other.
1) Receiving RF signal:
From 00:01:01 to 00:03:20, start to receive the RF signal
from the sensor. ( No problem in this step.)
2) Receiving RCC signal:
From 00:03:21 to 00:10:00, start to receive RCC signal.
3) Every day at AM 2:03, 3:03,4:03, 5:03 the receiver would
received the signal automatically. But in any of these 4 time,
if it received one time, then in this day it would no received
any again.
