User manual LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY WS-6010

[. . . ] Idle Operation Mode: · This mode is occurred when the battery voltage is dropped lower than 2. 4V · LCD is turned off · Does not perform temperature measurement and transmission · If battery voltage is raised higher than 2. 5V, will go into Normal mode · If the solar transmitter is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours, will goes into Stop mode. Stop Operation Mode: · This mode is occurred when the solar transmitter is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours or the user cover the solar cell for 10 seconds and press the RESET button · The transmitter is in a standby state. Without perform any operation and LCD is off 22 · · Under a bright condition, press the reset button to wake up the transmitter into normal operation mode (battery voltage is higher than 2. 5V). If the battery is lower than 2. 4V, a "Lo" icon will be shown in the LCD for a while. [. . . ] If they are not shown in the LCD after 30 seconds, reinstall the batteries of the Solar Station again. Once the indoor data is displayed, the Solar Station will start receiving the outdoor data. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on the Solar Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. In order to ensure better reception and transmission, the distance between the Solar Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100m to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission. (see notes on "Positioning" and "868 MHz Reception"). Always wait at least 10 minutes after removing batteries before re-inserting; otherwise start up problems may occur. FUNCTION KEYS The solar station has 2 easy to use keys: SET key + key : : To enter into the set modes for: time and solar modes To toggle between the display modes To change any values in manual set modes To reset all the MIN/MAX temperature records to current temperatures 26 LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS The solar station 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, indoor and outdoor temperature and indoor and outdoor humidity. Low battery icon (station) Low battery icon (transmitter) Outdoor transmission reception icon* Outdoor temperature Indoor temperature Outdoor humidity display Time Indoor humidity display * When the signal from the transmitter is successfully received by the Solar Station, this icon will be switched on. User can therefore easily see whether the last reception was successful ("ON" icon) or not ("OFF" icon). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done at that time. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: -RX Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the Solar Station batteries voltage is low. -TX Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the Solar Transmitter batteries voltage is low. 27 MANUAL SETTINGS After completion of the above described procedures in "Setting-up" the manual setting modes can be entered by pressing the SET key. The following settings can now be programmed: · · Manual time setting Solar mode setting Press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds to enter the time setting mode. Set the desired hours by pressing and releasing the + key followed by pressing the SET key. Press the SET key again to confirm and enter the Solar Mode setting. MANUAL TIME SETTING 1. 6.

Press and release the SET key to exit the setting mode and switch back to the normal display mode. If the solar mode setting is ON: · LCD will automatically turn OFF if the environment is too dark · LCD will automatically turn ON if the environment is bright enough; the surrounding environment brightness is checked every 5 seconds. 28 · · · No information will be displayed when the LCD is OFF, but all the settings and operations will remain, except for the temperature and humidity measurements. The outdoor data will not be received if the LCD is OFF for more than 10 minutes. If the user wants to check data while the display is automatically turned off, because the environment is not bright enough, take the solar station into a brighter environment. The display will turn on again. If the solar mode setting is OFF: · LCD will remain ON constantly.
