2.5 Pairing the weather station / outdoor unit:
Automatically:
As soon as the batteries are installed in the weather station, the weather forecast animation icon starts
flashing. Use the ▼and ▲ buttons on the front panel of the weather station to input the actual weather type.
After 1 minute the weather stations enters the reception mode from the outdoor unit and starts searching
for a signal from the outdoor unit. Therefore, if you insert the batteries into the outdoor unit within that
minute and the units will 'find' each other, they will be automatically paired and the display of the weather
station will show the temperature transmitted by the outdoor unit. The weather station will then switch to
the reception of the DCF-77 time signal to synchronise with the station in Frankfurt (see Clock).
Manually:
If the units cannot be paired automatically, or after replacing the batteries, you can pair the outdoor unit
(again) with the weather station unit as follows:
1. press and hold the ▲ button on the weather station for 2 seconds until the
symbol starts flashing in the display
2. Press briefly press the RESET button on the outdoor unit
3. the units will have found each other (again) after several seconds
3. POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
When the outdoor unit is registered on the weather station and everything is working properly, you may
place the outdoor unit with outdoor sensor (wind and rain sensor) outside.
Because the outdoor sensor and outdoor unit are connected with a cable, the outdoor unit may be placed
closer to the weather station (max. distance 30 meters) or at eye-level to easily read the outdoor unit.
In case of wall-mounting, the weather station and outdoor unit may be suspended from a single screw. You
may also fold out the table stand to place the weather station onto a flat surface.
3.1 Outdoor unit placement tips:
To have the rain and wind meter function as accurate as possible, the rain and wind meter must be placed
exactly horizontal.
3.2 To set the wind meter:
To be able to indicate from which direction the wind is blowing, the rain and wind unit must face the North.
Make sure that the wind vane is aimed to the front (the rear of the wind vane is located above the arm and
closest to the rain sensor. for this, see the "direction for setting wind vane" marking above the rain and wind
meter. Use an accurate compass (not included) to properly aim the unit.
The wind rose will indicate the wind direction. When the outdoor wind meter is installed correctly, the wind
direction may be activated as follows.
Press and hold the "MODE/SET" (30) button for at least 1 second until
12Hr or 24Hr starts flashing.
Then press the "MODE/SET" (30) 14 times until the wind rose starts
flashing. Now use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to set the North. The settings menu
closes after 15 seconds without pressing any buttons or you may press the
"MODE/SET" (30) button.
