OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: • • • • Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to Weather Station by 433 MHz Shower proof casing Wall mounting case Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK The Moonphase wall clock uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1.
. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and “03” will appear on LCD 1. Then the indoor and outdoor temperature - -.-°C, the time as -:--, the date as 1/1, and weekday will be displayed. Do not press any buttons for 10 minutes The Moonphase wall clock will start receiving data from the transmitter. The remote temperature will then be displayed on the Moonphase wall clock.
To display the alarm time in normal mode display To exit any setting modes MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS The Moonphase wall clock's LCD is divided into 2 sections and once the batteries are inserted, all the segments will light up briefly before displaying the information for time, date, indoor and outdoor temperatures.
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME: The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig, which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km.
2. Press and release the SET key to enter the mode “Manual Time Setting”. MANUAL TIME SETTING In case the Moonphase wall clock is not able to detect the DCF-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock. 1. The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1. 2. Set the desired hours by pressing and releasing the + key followed by pressing the SET key. 3. Now the minute digits will start flashing. 4.
12/24 HOURS TIME DISPLAY SETTING 1. 2. The “12h” or “24h” will start flashing in LCD1 (Default setting 24h). Select the desired time display mode by use of the + key. Press and release the SET key to enter the “ºC/ºF Temperature Setting”. °C OR °F TEMPERATURE SETTING 1. 2. The characters “°C” or “°F” will start flashing on LCD1 (Default setting °C). By use of the + key select “°C” for temperature display in degrees Celsius or “°F” for degrees Fahrenheit.
SNOOZE SETTING The snooze can only be activated during alarm time for a snooze duration of 10 minutes by pressing the SNZ key on the back of the Moonphase wall clock MOON PHASE The Moonphase wall clock will also display all 12 Moon phases throughout the year accordingly to the set calendar: New Moon FullMoon Small Waxing Crescent Large Waxing First Quarter Crescent Large Waning Gibbous Small Waning Gibbous Last Quarter Small Waxing Gibbous Large Waning Crescent Large Waxing Gibbous Small Waning
Note: When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the outdoor temperature transmitter or moonphase wall clock, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The maximum transmission range is 100 meters from the outdoor temperature transmitter to the moonphase wall clock (in open space).
POSITIONING THE MOONPHASE WALL CLOCK: There are two possible ways to mount the Moonphase wall clock: • use of the foldout table stand, or • wall mounting FOLDOUT TABLE STAND Simply unfold the stand at the back of the clock and place on a flat surface. WALL MOUNTING 1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 60 mm three screw positions on a wall. 2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving approximately 5mm extended from the wall.
There is also double sided tape included with the wall mount. On smooth surfaces this can be used instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface can, however, affect the transmission range. If for example the unit is att/ached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range.
Transmission distance : maximum 100 meters in open field, depending upon surrounding structures, mounting location and possible interfering sources Power source (Alkaline batteries recommended) Moonphase wall clock : 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries Transmitter : 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries Battery life : about 12 months Dimensions (L x W x H) Moonphase wall clock : 222 x 31.
