Choosing The Installation Location - eQ-3 WFC 310 Manuel D'utilisation

3. Choosing the installation location

Similar to a mobile telephone network or radio/TV reception,
the reception of the radio-time receiver may not be perfect in all
locations. Just a couple of notes to make sure that your device
works with no problems.
The location of the weather station is very important. This is the
reason for the new test function that allows the quality of reception
to be checked in the surrounding area and to position the device
in a location that has the best possible conditions.
• Switch on all potential sources of interference (e.g. televi-
sion) in the area that you want to install the station during
the test!
• Position the device in the location, oriented as you prefer,
but at least one meter from the possible source of interfer-
ence.
• Activate test mode as described.
• Monitor the reception display on the weather station. If you
have found a location that has good reception, you can leave
the device there and it will retrieve data automatically from
the transmitter.
note!
• The time and date appear within a few minutes. Local outside
temperature will appear just after the set up (see page 18)
• The transfer of larger quantities of data for the forecast take
much longer: In order to receive all data, the station requires
24 hours after start-up.
4. possible sources of interference
Interferences as with a radio transmitter can occur and could be
caused by the following influences:
• In buildings with a lot of concrete, metal parts and electrical
systems, reception problems can occur (e.g. Mall).
• Electrical devices such as television, computer, house-hold
devices, etc. or transformers, land lines, radio transmitters
and railways are possible direct sources of interference.
• Atmospheric influences and geographical features (moun-
tains, etc.) can affect the propagation of the radio waves.
