Remedy
• The distance between the base station and outdoor sensors is too great.
Alter the position of the outdoor sensors.
• Objects or shielding materials are obstructing the radio reception.
Alter the position of the outdoor sensors and the base station.
• The batteries of the outdoor sensors are too weak or flat.
Insert new batteries into the sensors as an attempt.
• Another transmitter on the same or neighbouring frequencies is disturbing the radio
signal of the outdoor sensors. This can be, for example, radio headphones, radio
loudspeakers or similar devices.
Such products are not usually operated constantly; the radio reception can, for
example, be perfect the next day; this makes the search for the cause more difficult
If possible, set another frequency on the instruments which can eliminate the
reception problems of the weather station.
• The outdoor sensors transmit their data to the base station approx. every 3
minutes for a period of 0.1 (100ms) seconds. In this short period, disturbances in
other devices are also possible.
For example, a very short disturbance signal can be audible from a radio head
phone every 3 minutes.
• When inserting the batteries into the outdoor sensors and the base station
(observe this order exactly!), these devices are in synchronisation mode. A data
telegram is transmitted here every 4 seconds which accelerates the recognition and
registration of the outdoor sensors at the base station.
To enforce new synchronisation, remove the batteries from the base station and
outdoor sensors. After that, wait at least 60 seconds before you insert the batteries
into the outdoor sensors again and, lastly, into the base station (observe this order
without fail – first of all insert the batteries into all existing outdoor sensors, only
then into the base station.
In doing so, however, all values/data which the base station has stored (e.g. mini
mum values, maximum values and date/time etc.), are lost.
• Before you position the outdoor sensors, for example in your garden, carry out a
function test as described at the beginning of section 7.
