Thank you for buying the WS1170! This is a wireless weather station with DCF clock and outdoor sensor. Please read
the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, don't install or use it
and contact your dealer. Note that damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by
the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems. Contents: 1 x base
station, 1 x remote outdoor sensor and this manual.
2. Setting up Your Weather Station
• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor and insert 2 x AAA alkaline batteries. Mind the polarity.
• Open the battery compartment of the weather station and insert 3 x AA alkaline batteries. Mind the polarity.
• Wait ± 3 minutes until the temperature is displayed on the weather station. Do not press any keys before the
weather station has received data.
• Mount both units (see "3. Mounting the Units") at a distance where the weather station is still able to pick up
the signal from the sensor.
Every time the outdoor sensor is powered up (after e.g. a battery replacement), a random security code will be
transmitted. This code must be synchronized to the base station in order to receive weather data. The station
base must also be powered up when replacing the batteries in the outdoor sensor.
When the weather station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light for 3 seconds
before the station enters into the learning mode. After the learning mode the station will start DCF radio-controlled
time reception and RCC time reception for ± 10 minutes during which it will not be able to receive any weather
data. If the RCC signal cannot be found within 1 minute, the signal search will be cancelled and will automatically
resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. Regular RF link will be established once the
RCC reception routine is finished.
Do not press any key during the learning period (± 3 minutes). After both indoor and outdoor data is
displayed you can install the remote outdoor sensor and set the time (if no RCC reception is available). If there is
no temperature reading on the outdoor station make sure both units are within transmission range or check the
batteries. If you press a key before the weather station receives the temperature signal, take out the batteries and
reinstall them after ± 10 seconds.
Time and date are provided by a highly accurate atomic clock. Note that, whenever reception is possible, the
weather station will scan for the DCF radio signal and overwrite a manually set time and date.
3. Mounting the Units
a. The Base Station
Place the base station onto a flat surface by deploying the foldable legs at the back of the unit. The unit can
also be wall-mounted. It is important to check that the radio signal can be received before permanently
mounting both units.
