1 Scope of application
This weather station has been designed for use solely as a weather
station. Weather stations supply information about room climate, can be
used to forecast the local weather and to receive information about the
external temperature, external humidity, and can give information about
frost (car drivers, agriculturalists, etc.). The weather station can be used
in the customer’s domain within the specified tolerances. Do NOT use
the weather station for commercial or professional weather forecasts. It
is not permitted to use the weather station for purposes other than those
described in the operating instructions as this may result in damage and
injury. No liability will be accepted for claims arising from improper
use. You will find further instructions and explanations in the operating
instructions.
2 Safety and maintenance
2.1 Safety information
Please read this section carefully and follow all the information given.
This will ensure reliable operation and ensure that the weather station
will serve you for a long time. Keep the packaging and operating
instructions in a safe place so that you can give these to the new owner if
you sell the weather station.
Never open the base station housing and the external sensor housing.
These do not have any parts to be maintained (the exception to this is
opening the battery compartments to insert or change the batteries. See
point 7 Change battery display and changing the batteries). Do not put
any objects on the base station or on the external sensor and do not exert
any pressure on the display. This could cause the display to break. To
avoid damage do not touch the display with sharp objects.
2.2 Repair
In the event of necessary repair or a technical problem, please contact
our service centre. You will find the address on the guarantee card.
2.3 Conditions for operating environment
The base station is not protected against splashes. Ensure that your base
station is not subject to wet conditions or constant high levels of
humidity and avoid conditions which are dusty, hot and long periods of
direct sunlight. In order to ensure optimum radio registration, place or
hang the base station in a stable position, but not on a metallic surface.
The external sensor is protected against splashes. To use the device
outdoors, please choose a location in which the external sensor is not
exposed to rain or direct sunlight. Ignoring this information may result in
faults or damage to the weather station or the external sensor.
2.4 Ambient temperature
The base station can be operated constantly in an ambient temperature
from 0° to 50°C. It should only be exposed to temperatures from -10° to
0°C for short periods. If the base station is not being used, it can be
stored at temperatures of between -10° to 50°C. The external sensor can
be operated constantly in an ambient temperature from -10° to 50°C. It
should only be exposed to temperatures of -25° to -10°C and 50°C to
60°C for short periods of time. If the external sensor is not being used, it
can be stored at temperatures of between -10° to 50°C.
2.5 Electro-magnetic compatibility
If possible, do not place the base station or the external sensor near to
computers, printers, television sets, mobile telephones or radios as
devices with strong EMC rays and other radio stations can interrupt or
prevent radio reception.
2.6 Battery operation
The base station is operated by two 1.5v AA batteries and the external
sensor is operated by two 1.5v AAA batteries. Below you will find
information about using batteries.
Always replace batteries with batteries of the same type. Batteries must
not be recharged or reactivated by other means. Do not dismantle
batteries, throw them in the fire or shortcircuit them. Always keep
batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can be harmful if
swallowed. Therefore keep batteries and the weather station out of the
reach of infants. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help
immediately.
Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid allowing the base station or the
external sensor and therefore the batteries from becoming too hot.
Ignoring this information may result in damage and in some
circumstances may cause the batteries to explode. Temperatures of
below 0°C can have a negative effect on the life of batteries. You will
find information on changing batteries under point 7, Change battery
display and changing batteries.
Tip: Please position the external sensor in such a way that it is not
exposed to extremes of heat or cold. In extremely cold conditions, the
batteries and therefore the transmission signal will be adversely affected.
2.7 Disposal
2.7.1 Disposal of batteries
Batteries should not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries can
be disposed of correctly by shops selling batteries and at municipal
recycling points where there are appropriate containers.
2.7.2 Disposing of the Weather Station

4 Putting the device into operation
We recommend that you read the operating instructions carefully before
using the Weather Station for the first time. In particular, before using
the device for the first time, please read point 3.1, Base station and point
3.2, External sensor to become familiar with the Weather Station’s
function keys.
Put the device into operation on a table where you can lay the base
station and the external sensor next to each other or stand them upright
1. Remove the battery compartment cover located at the rear of
the base station.
2. Also remove the battery compartment cover located at the rear
of the external sensor. First push the retractable stand in the
direction of the arrow so that you can remove the battery
compartment cover. Please unscrew the battery compartment
cover using a small screwdriver.
Tip: Please note that the batteries must be inserted in the base
station first and then in the external sensor otherwise the base
station may fail to receive the external sensor’s signal.
3. First insert the 2 x 1.5V AA batteries in the base station’s
battery compartment (note +/- polarity).
Tip: Please ensure that the batteries are new and are the correct
size.
When you have inserted the batteries correctly, this will be
confirmed by an audible tone. Now you can close the battery
compartment again with the compartment cover.
4. Then insert the 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries in the external sensor’s
battery compartment (note +/- polarity). Leave the battery
compartment open so that you can set more settings.
Tip: Please ensure that the batteries are new and are the correct
size.
5. Shortly after inserting the batteries, the base station will begin
to search for the DCF77 signal for the radio clock, indicated by
the flashing radio tower symbol.
Radio tower symbol
The base station will receive the radio clock signal within 4 minutes and
this will be displayed by a constant radio tower symbol. If this is not the
case (the radio tower symbol will not be visible), then press the ‘–
‘
key until you hear a signal tone. The radio tower will appear and it will
try for another 4 minutes to receive a radio clock signal. If it is not
possible to receive a signal at the location of use, you can set the time
manually (see point 5.1.2, Manual setting) or alter the location of the
base station (see point 9, Troubleshooting).
Tip: The search process will be interrupted if you press the ‘+ ‘, or ‘–
‘ or the LIGHT/SNOOZE key.
6. After inserting the batteries, the external sensor will begin to

external air humidity will then show on the base station once
the search for the radio clock signal has finished.
If the transmission of the initial signal does not work, or if you
would like to speed up the process, press the TX key in the battery
compartment on the rear of the external sensor and the transmission
of the signal will then be activated manually.
The external sensor is set in the factory so that the transmission of the
signal takes place on channel 1. Wait a moment until the temperature is
shown on channel no. 1 on the main device. The sensor is now registered
on channel 1.
In order to ensure the transmission of the signal, the base station and the
external sensor should be a maximum of 40 metres apart. The range can
be limited by stonework, reinforced concrete, metal-framed windows
and fog. Overlapping radio waves can also affect reception. The external
sensor measures the temperature and humidity at intervals of 30 seconds.
If the data between the two measurements deviate only slightly from one
another then there will be no transfer to the base station. In order to
register a second or third external sensor (not included in delivery),
please read point 5.5.6c, Registering a second or third external sensor
Now you can screw the external sensor’s battery compartment cover
back on. As soon as the radio clock time is shown, we recommend you
set it in following way.
7. Frankfurt am Main, Germany is set by the factory as the basis
of calculation for the rising and setting of both the sun and the
moon. In order to receive the correct display for the rising and
setting of the sun and moon for your location, it is necessary to
take the setting for your country or the adjacent town to your
location as given in point 5.3, Rising and setting of the sun and
moon.
8. After inserting the batteries, the base station will begin by
displaying humidity of 1013 hPa (factory setting). In order to
receive a useful weather forecast it is necessary to configure
the settings specified as in point 5.6.1a, Setting the
atmospheric pressure values. This completes the process of
putting the Weather Station into operation. You can now place
or hang the external sensor where you want it to be (see point
6, Assembly).
5 Modes / Function keys
5.1 Time, date and time zone
5.1.1 Radio clock time
The time basis for the radio-controlled time display is one of the cesium
atom clocks operated by the Physikalischen-Technischen Bundesanstalt
in Brunswick, Germany. This time is coded (DCF77) and is transmitted
by a long-wave transmitter in Mainflingen near Frankfurt over a
transmission range of some 1,500 km. If your Weather Station is within
this transmission area, it receives this signal, converts it and always
displays the precise time and date irrespective of summer or wintertime.
Several times a day the radio clock time is automatically synchronised
by the base station in order to correct any possible deviations. If it is not
possible to receive a radio signal at the location of use, the time can also
be set manually (see point 5.1.2, Manual setting).
5.1.2 Manual Setting
If it is not possible to receive a radio signal at the location of use, you
can also set the time and date manually.
1. To set the time manually, press and hold the SET/ZONE key
for approx. 3 seconds until the year begins to flash. Press the
‘+
‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the year. Confirm with the
SET/ZONE key. The month will now begin to flash.
2. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the month. Confirm
with the SET/ZONE key. The day will now begin to flash.
3. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the day. The day of the
week will be automatically calculated and displayed. Confirm
with the SET/ZONE key. The hours will now begin to flash.
4. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the hours. Confirm
with the SET/ZONE key. The minutes will now begin to flash.
5. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the minutes. Confirm
with the SET/ZONE key. The 12/24-hour format will now
begin to flash.
6. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the 12/24-hour format.
Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The time zone will now
begin to flash.
The earth is divided into 24 time zones. A time zone is a section of the
earth’s surface where a common time applies. Usually it runs along the
longitude from the poles. On passing into another zone, time changes by
an hour. In an easterly direction this moves forward by an hour and in a
westerly direction it moves backward by an hour. If, for example, you
would like to set the time for a country which is 6 time zones west of
your country, you must input minus 6 hours.
7. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required time zone.
Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The country will now begin
to flash.
In order to display the time in the set time zone, press the
SET/ZONE key after the settings 1-9, ‘ZONE” will appear next to
the time. Press the SET/ZONE key again to return to the normal
time display.
8. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required country
(see also point 5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and
moon). Confirm with the SET/ZONE key. The name of the
city will now begin to flash.
9. Press the ‘+ ‘ or the ‘– ‘ key to set the required city (see
also point 5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and moon).
Confirm this last setting again with the SET/ZONE key. Now
the rising and setting times of the sun and moon will be
automatically calculated (even if the settings for country and
city have not been changed). The relevant times will appear
after approximately 17 seconds.
Tip: It may occur that while entering the country and city settings, the
radio clock signal is lost. You will know this has happened as the radio
tower symbol will no longer be indicated. In this case, please press and
hold the ‘– ‘ key to receive the radio clock signal again.
Tip: Please note that in the summer time phase, it is not absolutely
necessary to receive a daily radio clock signal. If this is not the case, then
it is possible that there is a deviation of an hour for the rising and setting
times of the sun and moon (the difference between summer and
wintertime). (For help, see point 9, Troubleshooting ‘The radio clock is
not receiving a radio clock signal”).
The settings are now completed.
5.2 Phase of the moon
The phase of the moon depends on the current date. It is automatically
calculated and the following symbols are displayed:
Full moon waning moon new moon
New moon waxing moon Full moon
5.3 Rising and setting times of the sun and moon
Tip: Please note that this function depends on the date, i.e. it will
function once the base station has received the radio clock signal and
also the current time and date.
Frankfurt am Main is displayed as the initial city for the rising and
setting times of the sun and moon mode (factory setting).
1. To set the times for the rising and setting of the sun and moon

been no change, this is shown by a horizontal arrow.
5.5.6 External sensor
A cable connection is not needed to transmit the signal from the external
sensor to the base station. The external sensor transmits on a frequency
of 433 MHz. The transmission range from the external sensor to the base
station can be up to 40m in optimum conditions in the open.
Transmission between the external sensor and the base station can be
impaired by objects such as stonework, reinforced concrete, metal
windows and fog or by placing the external sensor and base station on
the floor, etc.
5.5.6.a External sensor display
After inserting the batteries in the external sensor (see point 4, Putting
the device into operation), the external temperature and external
humidity is shown on the external sensor’s display.
5.5.6.b Selecting °Celsius / °Fahrenheit
To re-set the temperature display on the external sensor, press the C/F
key on the back of the external sensor. (Please remove the battery
compartment cover first as described in point 7.2.2 Changing the
battery). Each time the key is pressed the display will change to °C or °F.
5.5.6.c Registering a second or third external
sensor
Additional external sensors are not included. Please contact our service
address or our webshop (http://www.produktservice.info/shop/) if you
would like to buy additional external sensors.
Carry out the registration of the additional external sensors on a table
where you can lay the base station and the external sensor(s) next to each
other or stand them up. First set the channel selector on the back of the
external sensor (remove battery compartment cover) to the required
channel on which the external temperature and external humidity of this
external sensor should be displayed on the base station (the first external
sensor will normally be displayed on channel 1, therefore select channel
2 or 3 for additional sensors).
Then insert the batteries in the external sensor as described in point
7.2.2, Changing the battery. The selected channel number will be shown
at the upper left of the external sensor’s display. The signal will transmit
shown by the flashing of the red indicator on the front of the external
sensor. If the selected channel number does not appear at the top left of
the external sensor’s display, you can press the TX key to speed up the
transmission of the signal. If registration is not possible, please refer to
point 9, Troubleshooting.
5.5.6.d Changing the channel display on the base
station manually and automatically
When you have registered 2 or 3 external sensors, press the CHANNEL
key to change from one channel to the next. If a rounded arrow is shown
on the display the channels will be displayed automatically one after the
other.
Changing the channel display automatically
Tip:
If for structural or other reasons it is not possible to attach the external
sensor to the windowsill or the house wall, you can use a sensor
extension cable which will be connected to the external sensor’s
connector. Place the external sensor on the windowsill in the living room
for example and feed the sensor extension cable a few centimetres
outside under the window. The temperature can be measured using the
sensor extension cable. This sensor extension cable is however not
included in this delivery. Please contact our service address or our
webshop (http://www.produktservice.info/shop/) if you would like to
buy a sensor extension cable.

5.6 Atmospheric pressure
5.6.1 Atmospheric pressure display
Atmospheric pressure display
After inserting the batteries, the base station will begin by displaying
atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa (factory setting).
The atmospheric pressure will be measured hourly starting from the
point that the batteries are inserted in the base station or from when the
atmospheric pressure value is set manually.
Tip: To obtain a useful weather forecast you must input the current
atmospheric pressure value for your region (see next point 5.6.1a,
Inputting the atmospheric pressure value. You can obtain the current
atmospheric pressure value from the weather pages on video text or the
weather sites on the Internet, eg.: www.meteo24.de or www.wetter.com.
5.6.1.a Setting the atmospheric pressure value
Press and hold the CLEAR/SET BARO key until the atmospheric
pressure display begins to flash. You can alter the atmospheric pressure
from 850 to 1050 hPa using the B▲ or B▼ key. Press the CLEAR/SET
BARO key quickly to confirm your setting. The base station will now
show the current atmospheric pressure in hPa.
5.6.1.b Atmospheric pressure diagram
- Atmospheric pressure diagram
The atmospheric pressure graphic shows the development of the
atmospheric pressure over the past 12 hours in 5 stages, i.e. the
respective settings for 0 hours ago, 1 hour ago, 3 hours ago, 6 hours ago
and 12 hours ago. The column value is given for each of the 5 stages as a
diagram which reflects the trend over the stored period of time. A scale
on the right-hand side compares the results. The ‘0” in the middle of the
scale indicates the current atmospheric pressure, each change is shown in
hPa (+/- 2, 4, 6 and 8 hPa), how high or low the pressure was earlier in
comparison to the current pressure, which is shown in the right-hand
column. One bar equals 2 hPa.
Tip: Please note that the atmospheric pressure diagram is always re-
configured from left to right (flashes)!
5.6.1.c Atmospheric pressure min./max memory
To read off the maximum and minimum values of atmospheric pressure,
press the MIN/MAX key once to read off the maximum value and once
again to read off the minimum value and once again to return to the
normal display. The minimum and maximum atmospheric pressure value
cannot be deleted as it is a recording of the minimum and maximum
values over the past 12 hours.
5.6.2 Weather forecast
The weather forecast is an approximate statement which is calculated for
the next 12-24 hours over a radius of approximately 30-50 km. The
weather forecast is based on the fluctuations of the atmospheric pressure
and agrees with the actual weather with a probability of approximately
70-75%. As it is not possible to predict the weather with 100% accuracy,
we do not accept any liability for damage which may occur as a result of
an incorrect weather forecast. The weather is forecast using the
following symbols:
Sunny Light cloud Cloudy
Rain Snow
If the measured temperature on an external sensor is between +1°C and -
1°C, the snowflake symbol and an exclamation mark will flash to warn
of frost. A snowflake symbol and an exclamation mark are displayed
constantly if the measured temperature on an external sensor falls below
-1°C.
Bad weather / storm warning
If the weather forecasting symbols flash, this is an indication of pending
bad weather or a storm front, together with falling atmospheric pressure.
It is a pre-requisite that the relative atmospheric pressure is set correctly
for your region. If the atmospheric pressure rises again, the weather
forecast remains constant. At the top left of the display, the weather
tendency is shown and is updated every hour. If the atmospheric pressure
changes by more than 1 hPa within an hour, this will be indicated by an
arrow which points upwards or downwards. If there has been no change,
this is shown by a horizontal arrow.
horizontal arrow = constant atmospheric pressure
arrow pointing upwards = rising atmospheric pressure
arrow pointing downwards = falling atmospheric pressure
Tip:
After setting the basics, it takes approximately 12 to 24 hours before you
receive a useful weather forecast.

5.7 Light
By pressing the LIGHT/SNOOZE key the display will be lit for
approximately 5 seconds so that you can read the display on your base
station in the dark. It is not possible to have a continuous light on the
display. Please note, however, that more power is required to light the
display which can result in shorter battery life.
6 Assembly
The base station can either be fixed to a wall by means of a wall fixing
kit on the back or be positioned on its stand. The external sensor all has a
wall fixing kit on the back and a retractable stand.
7 Change battery display and changing the
batteries
7.1 Base station

7.1.2 Changing the batteries
Open the battery compartment on the back of the housing. Insert
batteries (two x 1.5v AA batteries) correctly (note +/- polarity) and close
the battery compartment with the cover again.
In the event that after changing the batteries the external temperature and
external humidity are not displayed on the base station, you should
remove the batteries from the external sensor as well and re-insert them.
In addition, you can press the TX key on the back of the external sensor
to transmit the transmission signal manually. We recommend that you do
not use rechargeable batteries but use normal batteries in the Weather
Station.
Tip: When the batteries are changed, the stored data will be lost. You
must re-set the city and country data for sunrise, sunset, moonrise,
moonset and the atmospheric pressure.
7.2 External sensor
7.2.1 Change battery display
Weak batteries in the external sensor are indicated by the change battery
display. A battery symbol appears on the display on the base station on
the right next to the external humidity display. It will only appear
however when the batteries are low. The change battery display on the
base station for the external sensor will be shown only for the currently
selected channel (= external sensor).

When changing the batteries take care not to get the battery compartment
cover seal jammed and not to lose it.
8 Declaration of conformity
R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC
Summary of the declaration of conformity: Krippl-Watches hereby
declares that the Weather Station (item no. AUK-WS-11) conforms with
the basic requirements and other relevant conditions of the Guideline
1999/5/EC.
9 Troubleshooting
Before you make a complaint about the device, first please check the
batteries and if necessary replace with new ones.
If the external temperature / humidity is not displayed on the base station
If the external sensor no longer registers, this may be for one of the
following reasons:
- The batteries on the external sensor and/or the base station are
too weak. Replace the old batteries. Never use old and new
batteries together and proceed with the re-registration of the
sensor as described in point 4, Putting the device into
operation.
- The external sensor reception is interrupted by obstructions, as
removal of obstructions is often not possible (e.g. thermopane
glazing, walls with steel reinforcements or certain concrete
compositions, steel bearers). Please reduce the distance
between the external sensor and the base station or use a sensor
extension cable (not included in the delivery).
- If by mistake the first external sensor registers on the second
channel or the second external sensor registers on the third
channel, remove the batteries, check the relevant setting of the
channel selector on the back of the external sensor (channel 1,2
or 3) and insert the batteries again.
- Two different external sensors alternately display the
temperature on one channel: Remove the batteries from both
external sensors, check the relevant setting of the channel
selector on the back of the sensor (channel 1,2 or 3) and insert
the batteries again. Every time the external sensors are put
into operation again, the internal transmission signal is
changed (recoded)
- When external temperatures are below 0°C, the battery
performance can diminish and radio transmission can weaken.
In this event, reduce the distance between the external sensor
and the base station.
- If the display on the base station is not showing the external
temperature and the external humidity, but only ‘- - -.-’, this
could be caused by the batteries in the base station being too
weak and therefore unable to receive the signals from the
external sensor. Exchange the batteries for new ones.
Interruptions to reception can also be caused by other
household equipment, TV and radio remote controls, jamming
transmitters or other external transmitters. Also in this case
only ‘- - - - or HHH or LLL” can be seen on the display. In
this event, hold the CHANNEL key down for approximately 5
seconds until you hear a signal tone. Wait a short time. After
the external sensor’s next transmission signal the current
external temperature and external humidity should be
displayed again.
Weak batteries in the base station
Replace the batteries as soon as the change battery symbol is displayed.
Wait for approximately 30 minutes before inserting the new batteries. Do
not touch the battery contacts when inserting the batteries. This reduces
the corrosion stability of the contacts and extends the life of the batteries.
When inserting the new batteries always observe the polarity is correct.
After changing the batteries proceed as described in point 4, Putting the
device into operation.
Weak batteries in the external sensor
Replace the batteries as soon as the change battery symbol is displayed
(appears on the external sensor and the base station). When inserting the
new batteries always observe the polarity is correct. Afterwards the
external sensor must be re-registered. Proceed as described in point 4,
Putting the device into operation.
Temperature tolerance
The base station and the external sensor have sensors which work
independently of one another.
External sensor temperature tolerance: +/- 1°C
Base station temperature tolerance: +/- 1°C
It is therefore possible that 2 external sensors positioned next to each
other (and/or base station and external sensor) show a temperature
difference of 2°C.) In the case of marked temperature fluctuations, the
difference can be slightly higher as the external sensor does not transmit
permanently.
Incorrect temperature display
The temperature display will be affected by direct sunlight. Please
position the external sensor so that it is exposed to actual weather
fluctuations, i.e. not indoors for example or in a summerhouse in the
garden.
Humidity tolerance
The base station and the external sensor have sensors which work
independently of one another.
External sensor humidity tolerance: +/- 10%
Base station humidity tolerance: +/- 10%
(each related to medium humidity)
It is therefore possible that 2 external sensors positioned next to each
other (and/or base station and external sensor) show a humidity
difference of 20%.) In the case of marked humidity fluctuations, the
difference can be slightly higher as the external sensor does not transmit
permanently.
Humidity display permanently 20%
If the humidity display permanently shows 20%, then the humidity is
below the measurable range or is 20%. Air surges can remedy this.
Frequent air surges can cause higher humidity. Above all, in winter
humidity in living rooms is very low.
The radio clock is not receiving a radio signal
In the event that the radio clock is not receiving a signal, please try again
in a different location. The reception of the radio clock signal can be
obstructed by structural or natural obstructions (e.g. mountains) or it can
be impossible to receive a signal. The device has a quartz clock for this
event, which can then be used instead (see point 5.1.2, Manual settings)
Electro-magnetic or atmospheric interruptions can also obstruct the radio
clock signal. These interruptions can be remedied usually just by moving
to a different location.
Electro-magnetic interference
If possible, do not place the base station or the external sensor near to
computers, printers, television sets, mobile telephones or radios as
devices with strong EMC rays and other radio stations can interrupt or
prevent radio reception.
Times for sunrise, sunset and moonrise and moonset are not correct
Please note that in the summer time phase, it is not absolutely necessary
to receive a daily radio clock signal. If this is not the case, then it is
possible that there is a deviation of an hour for the rising and setting
times of the sun and moon (the difference between summer and
wintertime). (For help, see point 9, Troubleshooting ‘The radio clock is
not receiving a radio clock signal”).
