41. GeneralThe BA 1010US LCD Barometer displays the currentair pressure in a round, stylised instrument display aswell as a numerical digit display.Analoguous to traditional barometers, the electronic dis-play moves in the direction of the current trend whenthe housing is tapped.Also, the trend of the air pressure development is con-veniently displayed by means of an arrow/symbol dis-play and the local weather forecast is shown by meansof an easy to understand weather symbol.Additionally, you can choose to display the tempera-ture and relative humidity for indoors or outdoors aswell as a comfort factor based on both temperature andhumidity.The functional features of the BA 1010US:- Air pressure display from 300 to 1,100 hPa- Air pressure trend display- Weather forecast function via symbols- Knock-on update of display in direction of trend- Display of the indoor temperature and humidity(sensors in the device)or- Display of the outdoor temperature and humidity viaradio reception of data using an outdoor radio sensor(effective up to 100 m unobstructed)- Climate comfort factor for room climate indicated bythree smilies: dry, agreeable, and humid.
5Please read the complete instructions thoroughlybefore initial operation; these instructions containinformation for the correct use of this device.Intended useThe BA 1010US LCD Barometer is intended for indooruse with maximum humidity of 95 % and a temperaturerange of -19.9 °C to +70 °C. The manufacturer does notaccept any liability for the consequences of improperuse; all rights under the warranty will be forfeited.2. Safety and maintenance information- Do not open the device. It contains no user-service-able parts.- Operate the display device only indoors and avoidmoisture, dust and direct sunlight.- Clean the display device using a dry linen cloth; it maybe slightly dampened to remove obstinate soiling. Donot use solvents for cleaning.- The device should be kept out of reach of children. Itis not a toy!
6gg3. Commissioning3.1. Inserting the batteriesOpen the battery compartment on the back of thedisplay device.Place three 1.5 V Mignon batteries (LR 6 / Mignon /AA alkaline) into the battery compartment, ensuring thatthe polarity is correct, and then close the batterycompartment.CAUTION! Observe regulations for thedisposal of batteries!Used batteries and rechargeable accumu-lators must not be thrown away with house-hold rubbish!Please take exhausted batteries and re-chargeables to your local dealer or to acollection point for hazardous waste or bat-teries.Attachment eye Attachment eye

84. Operation4.1. InitialisationThe device switches on automatically when the threeMignon batteries are inserted. In some cases it mayhappen that the device does not begin operationafter the batteries are inserted, in which case nothingis shown in the display. If this happens, removethe batteries and reinsert to produce a display. Thisproblem does not influence the further operation of thedevice.After the segment test, the current data are displayed.4.2. Altitude adjustmentThe air pressure display is based on the altitudeabove sea level of the location where the device isoperated. It is therefore necessary to adjust to theactual altitude in order to have the correct air pressurevalue displayed.- Open the battery compartment and take out one of thebatteries. Wait about 1 minute.- Press and hold down the middle button on the backof the device while inserting the battery.- Release the button and set the altitude with theupper button (increments of +10 m) or lower button(increments of -10 m). The range is to 2,000 m.- Once the exact altitude is set, save the setting bypressing the middle button. This value remainsstored even when the batteries are changed.
94.3. Setting sensor address for outdoor sensor- Commissioning and addressing the outdoor sensor isto be performed in accordance with their respectiveinstructions.- First position the outdoor sensor near the barometerand then carry out addressing on the barometer asfollows:- Press the middle button on the back for approximate-ly 2 seconds until “SEN x” appears in the display. The“X” stands for a sensor address.- Using the upper button, you can now select theaddress (1-8) set on the sensor.- Once the sensor is selected, no further buttons needto be pressed. The device exits the setting modeautomatically after about 5 seconds.- Now the automated synchronisation with the outdoorsensor takes place. This process takes 6 minutes.During this time it is not possible to operate the device.4.4. Indicators and indicator adjustment4.4.1. Air pressure, forecast, trend- The analogue air pressure indicator is located onthe outer edge. The current air pressure (950 to1,050 hPa) is indicated by an arrow.- In the centre below is the numerical display of thisair pressure value in an expanded range between300 to 1,100 hPa.- At the top of the display the local weather forecastis indicated by weather icons (sunny, fair, cloudy,rain).- At the bottom is a trend display for the air pressure
10development in the next few hours. One point alsoshows the weather forecast. An arrow shows the airpressure development trend if there are air pressurechanges.- Analoguous to traditional hand-display barometers,the air pressure indicator updates in the direction ofthe trend when the display is tapped a few times.4.4.2. Temperature, humidity, climate- In the centre of the display the temperature andhumidity values of the currently selected sensor loca-tion are shown.- The climate comfort factor based on the temperatureand humidity is shown in the bottom display line bymeans of smilies (dry, agreeable, humid).4.4.3. Sensor selection- The barometer permits you to select the display oftemperature and humidity at the indoor sensor (in thedevice) or at the addressed outdoor sensor.- You can switch from one to the other using the bottombutton on the back of the device. The selected sensoris indicated by the house icon at the bottom left of thedisplay:Thermometer icon in the house: indoor valuesThermometer icon next to the house: outdoor values- Switching over can also be done by tapping. Aftertapping several times, the trend is shown in theanalogue display. Afterward the house flashes toindicate that the display can be switched over bytapping again.
115. Changing the batteriesA change of batteries is necessary if the display be-comes unusually pale or disappears altogether.Then it is time to change batteries in accordance withSection 3.1.
126. Range and reception interferenceThe free field range (i.e. the range of the line of sightcontact between the transmitter and the receiver) is100 m under optimum conditions. Walls and evenreinforced concrete can be penetrated, which does,however, reduce the range.Before mounting the system, try out interference-free reception at different times of the day.Reduced range can have the following causes:●High frequency interference of all kinds.●Buildings of all types or vegetation.●The distance of the transmitter or receiver fromconductive surfaces or objects (even to the humanbody or the ground) has an effect on the radiationcharacteristics and therefore the range.●Wide band interference in built up areas can reachlevels that reduce the signal-noise ratio throughoutthe frequency band which reduces the range.●Devices working on adjacent frequencies can alsoaffect the receiver.●Badly shielded PCs can radiate into the receiver andreduce the range.
