The main unit can collect data from up to 5 sensors (5 Thermo / Hygro Sensors). The THGR328N and THGR228N sensors are also compatible with this weather station. (Additional sensors are sold separately. Contact your local stockist for more information). The RTGR328N Sensor collects temperature and humidity readings, and signals from official time-keeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock. SET UP THERMO / HYGRO SENSOR (RTGR328N) 1 1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. 2. Insert batteries. 3. Set the channel and radio signal format. The switches are located in the battery compartment. 2 SWITCH OPTION Channel If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor. Radio Signal Format EU (DCF) / UK (MSF) 4. Press RESET, then set the temperature unit. 3 4 SWITCH OPTION Temp °C / °F 5. Close the battery compartment. To fold out the stand: 1 2 5 6 AC ADAPTOR (MAIN UNIT) For best results: Please install the AC adaptor at the back of the unit as illustrated. (Hiding of the adaptor wire can only happen when the wall-mount holder is installed). • • • • • • Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and radio signal format before you mount the sensor. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (100 feet) from the main (indoor) unit. Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects. Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission. NOTE The transmission range may vary and is subject to the receiving range of the main unit. 4 EN SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION SET CLOCK Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 60 seconds. The reception icon shown indicates the status. You only need to do this if you have disabled the radio-controlled clock (or if you are too far from a RF signal). ICON DESCRIPTION 1. Press and hold CLOCK for 2 seconds. 2. Select the time zone offset hour (+ / -23 hours), 12 / 24-hour format, hour, minute, year, date / month format, month, day and display language. 3. Press UP or DOWN to change the setting. 4. Press CLOCK to confirm. Main unit is searching for sensors. At least 1 channel has been found. Sensor 1 is sending data. (The number shows which sensor is selected). --- NOTE The language options are (E) English, (F) French, (D) German, (I) Italian, and (S) Spanish. The language you select determines the weekday display. The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries. SWITCH CLOCK DISPLAY Press CLOCK to toggle between: • Clock with day • Clock with time-zone offset SEARCH FOR SENSOR To search for the sensor, simultaneously press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL for 2 seconds. NOTE If the sensor is still not found, please check the batteries. ALARMS This product has 2 alarms. CLOCK AND CALENDAR SET ALARM This product tracks the time and date based on radio-controlled signals from the RTGR328N remote sensor, or manual settings that you enter. 1. Select Alarm#1 or Alarm#2 by pressing ALARM once or twice (once to view Alarm #1, twice to view Alarm#2). The alarm number will show just to the right of the displayed alarm time. 2. Press and hold ALARM for 2 seconds. 3. Select the hour and minute. Press UP or DOWN to change settings. 4. Press ALARM to confirm. The Daily Alarm icon will light up when the alarm is set. RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK The time and date are automatically updated by radio-controlled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England) unless you disable this feature. Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes and is initiated when you first set up the unit or whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. ACTIVATE/ DEACTIVATE ALARM To activate / deactivate the alarm, press ALARM ON / OFF. The alarm icons will light up when the alarm is set. You can set Alarm#1, Alarm#2 or both alarms simultaneously. How these signals work together: ICON NOTE When the alarm time is reached, the crescendo alarm will sound for 2 minutes. Press any key to silence the alarm. It will sound at the same time the next day. MEANING The unit has contact with the sensor and has synchronized the time. SNOOZE The unit has contact with the sensor but the time has not been synchronized. Tap on the area at front of the ACTIVE / SNOOZE panel to temporarily disable the alarm for 8 minutes. The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor but the time is synchronized. The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor and the time is not synchronized. The unit cannot reach the remote sensor. NOTE To force a manual search for RF clock reception, press and hold SEARCH on the sensor for 2 seconds. TURN RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK ON / OFF If you wish to manually set the clock, you must first disable the radio-controlled feature. NOTE The ACTIVE / SNOOZE touch panel is subject to varying degrees of sensitivity; you may need to tap against the area of the touch panel more than once and with varying degrees of pressure or force to trigger the function. To disable the radio-controlled feature, press and hold DOWN on the main unit for 2 seconds. To enable the radio-controlled feature, press and hold UP for 2 seconds. NOTE When the feature is disabled, the house icon disappears in the upper lefthand corner of the VFD display. 5 EN WEATHER FORECAST TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TREND LINES This product forecasts the next 12 to 24 hours of weather within a 30-50 km (1931 mile) radius. The forecast is based on barometric pressure trend readings. The trend lines are shown next to the temperature and humidity readings. TREND RISING STEADY FALLING The top area shows an animated icon indicating the forecasted weather. TEMPERATURE WEATHER FORECAST ICONS HUMIDITY ICON DESCRIPTION Clear COMFORT ZONE Day / Night The Comfort Zone indicates how comfortable the climate is, based on current temperature and humidity measurements. Partly cloudy Day / Night Cloudy ZONE TEMPERATURE HUMIDITY WET Any >70% COM 20-25°C (68-77°F) 40-70% DRY Any <40% Rainy NOTE This information is shown just beside the humidity reading. Snowy RESET SYSTEM The RESET button is located at the back of the unit. NOTE The nighttime icon displays from 6 PM to 6 AM. When the Channel 1 sensor records a temperature of 2°C (35.6 °F) or lower, the Rainy icon becomes Snowy. Press RESET whenever performance is not behaving as expected, (for example, unable to establish radio frequency link with remote unit or radio-controlled clock). TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY NOTE When you press RESET, all settings will return to the default settings so you will lose all stored information. The weather station can display the following information: • Current, minimum and maximum temperatures and relative humidity percentages. • Comfort level indicator and trend line (rising, falling, or steady).
