[. . . ] Close the remote sensor battery compartment. 4/6/05, 5:46 PM EN EN 5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand. · · 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. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately 10°F (-12°C). Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -40°F (-40°C). Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i. e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures). For best results: · Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor. · Do not place the sensor more than 98 feet (30 meters) from the main (indoor) unit. · Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. 8 RGR126(R13)-4(final) 8 4/6/05, 5:46 PM DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the remote thermo sensor approx. The reception icon shows the status - see table. THERMO SENSOR RAIN GAUGE DESCRIPTION Searching Connected Disconnected LOW BATTERY WARNING There are 3 low-battery indicators - see table. UNIT Main Remote Thermo Sensor Rain Gauge LOCATION ON MAIN UNIT DISPLAY Indoor Temperature Area Outdoor Temperature Area Total Rainfall Area Replace the batteries immediately when the respective indicator lights up. If without obvious reason the main unit display shows that the thermo sensor or rainfall connector is disconnected, press and hold SEARCH to enforce an immediate search. N If that fails, check: · The remote rain gauge and thermo sensor are still in place. · The batteries of the main unit, rain gauge, and thermo sensor are still good. · The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles and interference. Then press and hold SEARCH again. CLOCK / CALENDAR SETTING Press TIME / SET to toggle among today's rainfall, time, date, and year. The order of the settings is hour, minute, year, month and day. 9 RGR126(R13)-4(final) 9 4/6/05, 5:46 PM EN EN RAINFALL Today's rainfall appears on the 1st line of the display and total rainfall is shown on the 2nd line. Press in / mm to toggle between inches and millimeters as the unit of measurement. RAINFALL HISTORY The rainfall history is displayed on the 1st line of the LCD display. Caution: Other sensors using the 433 MHz transmission frequency may influence the rainfall reading. TOTAL RAINFALL The total rainfall is displayed on the 2nd line of the LCD display. To display the commencing date of the total rainfall record, press SINCE. 10 RGR126(R13)-4(final) 10 To clear the existing commencing date and reset it to start again, press and hold SINCE. [. . . ] This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 13 RGR126(R13)-4(final) 13 4/6/05, 5:46 PM EN EN · · · · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. [. . . ]
