English

SM1760IM0036 GB5

Note: if the sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries
may lose power which may cause the transmission range to be limited. High temperatures also reduce
the battery performance.

SETUP
Automatic Learning Function

GETTING STARTED

1. Learn function executes automatically and
runs for approximately 3 minutes when the
batteries are first installed in the receiver.
2. Within these 3 minutes, the receiver picks up
the temperature & humidity signals from the
remote sensor and displays the readings.

Setting the remote sensor
1

Unscrew the battery cover and insert batteries to begin the settings.

The house code will flash for 8 seconds.

4
5

Select a house code (1-15) by pressing °C/°F [8] and then press
SET [7]. The house code is the frequency signal sent by the
remote sensor to the receiver. The remote sensors for each
receiver must be set to the same house code, and remember to
press SET.

Manual-Learning (Searching for Remote Signals)

The channel will flash for 8 seconds.

If a new remote sensor is added or if the signal is
lost (outdoor display blinking), the learning function must be executed again.

Select a channel (1-3) by pressing °C/°F [8] and then press SET [7]. The channel
function allows the receiver to identify each remote sensor. Each receiver can receive
up to 3 different remote channels. The preferred channel number (1, 2 or 3) for each individual
remote sensor can be assigned. However, channel 1 is used for collecting data from outdoor and
activating the weather forecast symbols. If you only have one remote sensor, please set it at
channel 1 and place it outdoors.

1. Press and hold CHN [4] for 3 seconds to start.
2. A beep sound indicates that the learning function has started.
3. The 'Channel' symbol will flash and unit will beep as each remote sensor
is detected.
4. Temperature & humidity readings of remote sensor are displayed on the receiver.
Note: Auto/Manual Learn will not operate while the radio controlled clock is receiving DCF77 or MSF
signals.

Humidity and temperature will be displayed.

Toggle between °C or °F temperature display by pressing °C/°F key [8].

Insert 3 x AA batteries at the back of the main unit.

Notes:
• The SM1760 comes with one receiver and one remote sensor. If you wish to buy additional sensors
please refer to the section ACCESSORIES at the end of this manual.
• Use a different house code if your weather station detects other signals from neighbouring sources.
Else, use default settings: house code = 01 and channel = 01

SM1760IM0036 GB8

The remote sensor has a detachable cover with both a wall mount holder and a stand [12]. To fix it on a
wall, make sure the stand is not pulled out and fix the holder on a hook or nail. To fix the stand on a shelf
or table, simply pull it out and make sure it is well secured. The remote sensor should be fixed on a
smooth surface to prevent altering the range of the date transmission. To ensure a good transmission,
the remote sensor should not installed on or near a large metal surface. Before choosing the location of
the remote sensor, test that the receiver can receive the signals. It is also recommended that the remote
sensor is placed as close as possible to the receiver to eliminate any interference. The receiver also has
a wall mount holder and a stand. To place it, use the same precautions as for the remote sensor.

2. When the reception is complete, the Radio
Tower symbol will stop blinking and remain
solid. The clock automatically scans the
time signal at 02:07 everyday to maintain
accurate timing.
3. If the clock is within the range of both the DCF77 and MSF radio signals, you can toggle between the
2 signals by sliding the DCF/MSF RCC key [10].
Notes:
• For an optimal reception, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances (i.e.
television, computer, monitor, etc.) to minimize interference.
• If the user sets the time (year/month/date/hour/minute) manually, the unit will stop receiving the radio
control clock signals.

Backlight
The default state of the Backlight is ON. To turn the backlight on, press either Mode [1] or Snooze [5]. It
will stay on for about 10 seconds.
To disable it: at year setting mode (see section on manual clock setting), press the SNOOZE [5] key once,
press another time to switch it on again.

MANUAL CLOCK SETTING
Clock 1 setting
1. Press and hold mode [1] for 3 seconds to enter the clock setting mode
(the CLOCK 1 symbol will appear, and the time will flash).
2. Press Hour/+ [2] to set the hour and Minute/- [3] to set the minutes.
3. Press Snooze during the clock settings to alternate between the 12 and
24 hour display.
4. Press MODE [1] to set the date and month.

CLOCK AND DATE SETTINGS
RADIO CONTROL CLOCK
The SM1760 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock
once it is brought within the reception range of a radio signal. There are
2 different radio signals:
- DCF77 signal, for GMT +1 (France, Spain, Italy, Germany);
2
- MSF signal, for GMT (UK, Ireland, Portugal).
The DCF77 signal will be received if the main unit is within 1500 km of the
Frankfurt atomic clock. Your main unit will be automatically synchronised
with the MSF signal if located within the UK radio signal range.

Note:
• If you do not press any key for one minute, the clock will accept the last settings
entered.
• February will have either 28 or 29 days. Your weather station will display the 29th day on bissextile
years.

1. The clock automatically starts scanning the RF 433MHz signal after new batteries are inserted in the
main unit. When receiving radio signal, the Radio Tower symbol starts to blink. A complete reception
generally takes several minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal. The scan can also be
triggered manually by holding the Min/- key [3] for 3 seconds.

MOON PHASES
Throughout the 28 days of the lunar month, the aspect of the moon changes. Indeed, the moon, being
spherical, is always half lightened up by the sun. As the moon rotates around the Earth, the appearance
of its lightened side changes continuously. This phenomenon creates moon phases. The moon phase
on your MeteoClock is automatically updated according to the year/ month/day.

WEATHER FORECAST & DISPLAY
Animated weather forecast symbols
This weather station is capable of detecting barometric
pressure changes, and based on the data collected, can
predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. The
effective range covers an area of 30 – 50km.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE DISPLAY
Your weather station displays the existing atmospheric pressure in hectopascal (hPa). It is commonly
acknowledged that a value of 1015 hPa is the limit between an anticyclone (good weather > 1015 hPa)
and a low-pressure area (bad weather < 1015 hPa).

Storm Alert

In order to establish a comparison between pressure values, the latter are expressed in hPa at sea level,
i.e. zero altitude. Ambient pressure varies according to altitude (hence, the altitude at which your home
stands is important). This is why it is possible and perfectly normal to notice a small difference between
the pressure displayed by the MeteoClock® SM1760 unit (not corrected to the local altitude) and the
official values broadcasted by the national weather agency. The reason being that the latter considers
the altitude and corrects the measured pressure (to express it as if it was at sea level).
Therefore, the digital readings shown by this unit must not be regarded as final: What is in fact important
in terms of weather forecast is the evolution and trend of those readings. A significant change in ambient
pressure can be determined by an increase or a reduction of 5 hPa.

* The storm symbol will flash to warn of a thunderstorm.
* It is activated when pressure falls/rises and temperature plunges.
About Snow and Freeze Warning
* The snow symbol will flash to warn that it might snow.
* Activated when the temperature of Channel 1 is between -1.9 °C & +2.9 °C.
* The snow symbol will appear solid when the temperature of channel 1 falls below - 1.9 °C, and it is
freezing.
Note:
* The remote sensor set at channel 1 displays the weather forecast icons (as well as the trend indication).
Please place it outdoors.

REMARKS:
• After having completed the settings of your weather station, please discard the readings of the weather
forecast for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to operate at a
constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
• Absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed regarding weather forecasting. The weather forecasting
feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather
Station has been designed to be used in.
• If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing
point (e.g. from ground floor to 1st floor of a house), remove the batteries and reinsert them after about
30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will mistakenly consider the new location as a possible
change in air pressure. Again, discard the weather forecasts for the next 12-24 hours as to allow time
for operation at a constant altitude.

English

Why study barometric pressure?
Generally, bad weather is associated with low barometric pressure and fine
weather with high pressure. A low pressure area is surrounded by air of
higher pressure. As the higher pressure air cannot move in the low pressure
area, it will move upwards, causing condensation of water in the air and
producing clouds. The opposite is true for high pressure: in a high pressure
area, air of lower pressure will move downwards, warming up the air and
evaporating the water in the air.
Low pressure

SM1760IM0036 GB16

English

SM1760IM0036 GB15

Pressure trend
The trend pointer displayed at [A2] indicates the trend of the barometric pressure.

Note:
The weather forecast, by the means of the animated icons, depends on the evolution of the barometric
pressure. By consulting the barometric pressure historical graph you can evaluate the likeliness or the
strength of the weather forecast currently displayed. For example, if the pressure has steadily increased
over the past 12 hours but decreases slightly in the next 3 hours, the weather station might forecast rain,
but you could expect the probability of rain to remain low. On the other hand, if you observe a sudden
and large shift in pressure, the weather forecast is more likely to be extreme. For example, if the
forecast is rain, and you observe a large and sudden downward shift of pressure, the rain is likely to be
heavy.

COMFORT LEVEL ICON

Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is increasing.

The comfort level will be established based on the data collected from indoor temperature/humidity. The
indicator below will display whether the level is comfortable, normal or uncomfortable.

Indicates that the barometric pressure trend is steady.

Comfort Level

Indicates the barometric pressure trend is decreasing.

Description
It shows that the current environment is within
the ideal range for indoor temperature and
relative humidity.

PRESSURE HISTORICAL BAR GRAPH
The bar graph lets you see the pressure trend over a period of 12 hours. The bar graph will show the
pressure trend by default. To view the indoor temperature trend or the outdoor temperature trend, press
Snooze [5] in Clock1 mode.
The sequence is:

4. Receiver is no longer receiving remote sensor
signals or display.
5. An abnormal operation has been observed and
certain functions do not work.

1. Place the clock away from metal objects or
electrical appliances such as TVs, computers,
monitors, etc. Trigger the scan manually by
holding the Min/- key [3] for 3 seconds.
2. Wait for about 1-2 minutes to ensure the
remote sensor and receiver are in phase.
Otherwise, re-synchronize receiver by holding
CHN [5] for 3 seconds until a beep is heard.
3. Ensure the remote sensor is out of direct
sunlight, and away from sources of heat.
4. Repeat the learning procedures.
- Temperature may be below -30°C.
- Batteries in remote sensor may need
changing.
- Move remote sensor closer to the receiver.
- Make sure remote sensor is away from
sources of electrical disturbance.
