Range - BASETech WS-9130-IT Notice D'emploi

• Very low outdoor temperatures (less than -20 °C) decrease battery performance (this effect
will be stronger for rechargeable batteries). This reduces the range or the outdoor sensor will
no longer work properly.
• Another transmitter on the same or close frequency interferes with the radio signal of the
outdoor sensor. It may be helpful to reduce the distance between the weather station and
outdoor sensor or to choose another installation site.
• Objects or shielding materials (metallised insulating glass windows, steel reinforced concrete
etc.) are obstructing the reception.
• The weather station is too close to other electronic devices (TV, computer). Change the
location of the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
No DCF reception
• Objects or shielding materials (metallised insulating glass windows, steel reinforced concrete
etc.) are obstructing reception.
• The weather station is too close to other electronic devices (TV, computer), cables or mains
sockets. Change the location of the weather station.
• Setting up the weather station in the basement or similar will result in a weak DCF signal
and is therefore not possible. The same applies if the weather station is too far away from
the DCF transmitter.
• The weather station performs several reception attempts for the DCF signal every day.
Therefore, just leave the weather station standing for a day; maybe reception will be free of
interference at another time of the day.

14. Range

The transmission range of the radio signals between the outdoor sensor and weather station is
up to 100 m under ideal conditions.
This range specification refers to the so-called "free-field range".
However, this ideal arrangement (e.g. weather station and outdoor sensor on a plain, even
meadow without trees, houses etc.) never exists in practice.
Usually, the weather station is placed inside a house and the outside sensor is placed e.g. under
a carport or at a window.
Different objects have a different impact on the range, therefore no specific range can be
guaranteed.
However, the range should be sufficient for use in a detached house.
