STANDARD PACKAGE CONTENTS

INSTALLATION

The Weather Station portion of TN924W operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no wire installation is required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote weather sensors (transmitters).

The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer (temperature and humidity) sensor, anemometer (wind sensor) and a rain gauge (rain sensor). All data measured by these remote sensors is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with the operating range in the open area from 100 feet (30 meters) for anemometers and rain gauge up to 328 feet (100 meters) for temperature and humidity sensor.

Remote anemometer and a rain gauge must be placed outdoors to measure weather elements.

Remote thermo-hygrometers can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature and humidity are intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature and humidity, place the remote sensor outdoors.

NOTE: It is critical to assemble and power up all of the remote weather sensors BEFORE setting up the main unit.

NOTE: It is critical to power up and test communication between all of the weather sensors and the main unit BEFORE permanently mounting them outside.

The Weather Radio segment of TN924W operates at frequency band from 162.400MHz to 162.500MHz and requires AC adapter connected at all times.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

???ALWAYS install batteries in the remote weather sensors before the main unit

???We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote weather sensors and the main unit when temperatures are above 32??F (0??C). We recommend using lithium batteries for the remote weather sensors when temperatures are below 32??F (0??C)

???Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements)

???Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment

???Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any)

???During an initial setup, place the remote weather sensors close to the main unit

???After reception is established (all of the remote readings will appear on the main unit???s display), position the remote sensors and the main unit within the effective transmission range: 328 feet (100 meters) for temperature/humidity sensor(s) and 100 feet (30 meters for anemometer and rain gauge. Ideally they should be placed within the line of sight of the main unit. See placement tips in the user manual for each remote weather sensor

???Transmission/reception range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances, by the surrounding building materials and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitters (weather sensors) are positioned

???The main unit must be placed indoors.

???Place the remote weather sensors so that they face the main unit (receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the outdoor remote weather sensors may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of 32??F (0??C) and below.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that remote weather sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.

We recommend cleaning the remote weather sensors periodically, as the dirt and debris may affect sensors accuracy.

WEATHER RADIO

ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM

The National Weather Service (NWS) is a government agency within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that operates the nationwide radio network known as NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). NWR is a nationwide radio stations network continuously broadcasting information about all types of hazardous events both environmental and technological. NWR works with the Federal Communications Commission???s (FCC) Emergency Alert System (EAS), and considered to be a single source of all weather and emergency information.

As a nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than 940 transmitters in all 50 US states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and US Pacific Territories. This network also includes a Weatheradio Canada which is a part of Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC).

Routine broadcast consisting of local weather forecast, regional conditions and marine forecasts is repeated every few minutes. During emergencies, routine broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings.

When the NWR broadcasts specific warning, a digital code of Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is included as part of the message. The SAME code consists of specific information containing the geographical area affected, the expiration time of the message and the message itself.

Your Weather Radio has been designed to receive and decode warning, watch or non-emergency messages that are broadcast in digital SAME code by the National Weather service. A SAME broadcast will be heard as very brief tone burst resembling chirps. Once received, the message will be presented visually and by voice announcement. The SAME code contains the type of message, county(s) affected, and message expiration time. Your radio should provide reception for up to 40 miles distant from the NWR transmitter depending on terrain and man made structures, either of which can reduce that distance.

To receive SAME messages about events occurring only in your specific area you can use the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) codes and program up to nine

(9) specific locations. The FIPS codes you have entered will be automatically saved into the radio memory.

NOTE: For customizing your Weather Radio use the Weather Radio Control Panel buttons located on the front of the main unit.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR WEATHER RADIO

Weather Radio allows selecting and programming of several different features, including the weather radio channel, country, language of the events (alerts), alerts, location, signal reminder and alert mode.

19

CHANNEL SEARCH

There are two options available for searching of NWR channels ??? an auto and manual. The default channel search mode is auto.

If an auto search is selected, leave the Weather Radio in the default mode after the main unit has been powered. Then the Weather Radio will scan automatically through all 7 NOAA frequencies (channels) and lock on the strongest available channel.

When an auto search is selected and reception is successful, the Weather Radio will display the number of the received channel (for example: CHANNEL 7).

If no channel is detected at this time, the message NO CHANNEL AVAILABLE BACK TO CHANNEL X will be displayed.

If a manual search is selected, follow this programming procedure:

???Press MENU/SELECT button until message MANUAL is displayed

???Press MENU/SELECT once entering into the channel search programming mode ??? a channel number will be displayed

???Press ??? or ??? adjusting the desired channel number - 1 through 7

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Time Clock in your Weather Station can receive this WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth???s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit???s display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:

???During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY WINDOW

The Weather Station supports up to 5 remote thermo hygrometers, corresponding to a separate channel of the temperature and relative humidity display. The temperature can be displayed in Celsius (??C) or Fahrenheit (??F).

The main unit carries the temperature and humidity sensor and uses this data to calculate an indoors comfort level - Wet, Comfort or Dry.

A temperature alert function is available for each channel. It can be programmed to sound if the channel temperature exceeds or falls below the pre-set upper and lower limits. The limits are the same for all remote channels.

Thermo-Hygrometer remote battery status is monitored on the main unit.

Note: The temperature alarms have a 0.5 ??C deviation to prevent them from sounding due to small temperature fluctuations that are close to the set alarm value. This means that after the temperature reaches the alarm temperature, it will have to fall below the alarm temperature plus the deviation (0.5??C) to activate the alarm.

COMFORT LEVEL INDICATION

The main unit is capable of detecting and displaying the current indoor comfort levels of surrounding environment.
