User manual LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY WS9723

[. . . ] After inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the Temperature Station will start receiving data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission there should be no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the transmitter (see notes on "Mounting" and "868 MHz Reception"). [. . . ] When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: · Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1. 5 - 2 metres. · Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter. MANUAL SETTINGS: The following manual settings can be done in the setting mode: · Time zone setting · Manual time setting · Calendar setting · °C/ °F setting Press and hold the SET key for about 3 seconds to advance to the setting mode: 47 TIME ZONE SETTING: flashing The time zone default of the Temperature Station is "0 hour". Press and hold the SET key for about 3 seconds to enter the time zone setting (flashing). Press the SET key to confirm and enter the "Manual Time Setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the MIN/MAX key 48 MANUAL TIME SETTING In case the Temperature Station is not able to detect the Atomic time (DCF) signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc. ), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. Hours (flashing) Minutes (flashing) To set the clock: 1. Use the + key to adjust the hours and then press SET key to go to the minute setting. Confirm with the SET key and enter the "Calendar Setting" or exit the setting mode by pressing the MIN/MAX key Note: · The unit will still try to receive the signal at each full hour despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. 49 · The time format is fixed to "24-hr" time display. CALENDAR SETTING Year "Date. Month" weekday The date default of the Temperature Station is 1. Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, the date can also be set manually. Press the + key to set the month and then press the SET key to go to the date setting. Press + key to select the weekday, "MO", TU", "WE" etc. Confirm with SET key and enter the "°C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING" or exit the setting mode by pressing the MIN/MAX key. °C/°F TEMPERATURE UNIT SETTING flashing The default temperature reading is set to °C (Fahrenheit). The "°F/ °C" will be flashing, use the + key to toggle between "°F" and "°C". The alarm will then sound and the Ice Alarm icon will be blinking on the LCD. The alarm duration will be about 1. 5 minutes. HYSTERESIS OF ICE ALARM To compensate for the fluctuation of the measured outdoor temperature, which may cause the Ice Alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to 4°C (39. 2°F), a 58 hysteresis function has been implemented for the alarm. If the current temperature value drops to 4°C (39. 2°F), the ice alarm will be activated (if the alarm has been enabled). If the temperature rises back to 4. 6°C (40. 3°F) and thereafter again drops to below 4°C (39. 2°F), the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated.
