Troubleshooting - Conrad WB92 Bedienungsanleitung

12. Troubleshooting

With this weather station, you purchased a product built to the state of the art and operationally
safe. Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur. The following contains descriptions for the
removal of possible interferences.
No reception of the outdoor sensor signal
• Perform a manual search for the outdoor sensor at the weather station (see chapter 10. c).
• The distance between weather station and outdoor sensor is too large. Change the
installation site of the weather station and/or outdoor sensor.
• Objects or shielding materials (metallised insulated glass windows, reinforced concrete,
etc.) interfere with radio reception. The weather station is too close to other electronic
devices (TV, computer). Change the installation site of the weather station and/or outdoor
sensor.
• The outdoor sensor batteries are weak or flat. Try inserting new batteries in the outdoor
sensor. Observe Chapter 11.
• Very low outdoor temperatures (less than -20 °C) decrease battery and in particular
rechargeable battery performance. Therefore, only use high-quality alkaline batteries for the
outdoor sensor, but no rechargeable batteries.
• Another transmitter on the same or an adjacent frequency interferes with the outdoor sensor
radio signal. It may be helpful to reduce the distance between the weather station and
outdoor sensor.
No DCF Reception
• Perform a manual search for the DCF signal, see chapter 10. b).
• The weather station is installed close to other electronic devices or close to electrical lines
or metal parts.
Buildings made of reinforced concrete, metal-coated insulating glass windows and setup in
a basement also prevent good reception of the DCF signal.
• The DCF reception is best at night, when there are least interferences by electronic devices
(e.g. TVs or computers are off).
Just wait for the next day; the weather station should display the DCF time and date then.
