SM1960IM size : 110mm W x 105mm H
Notes: The rain gauge measures the rainfall but does not collect any rain. So remember to put it in a
location where the water can flow easily. To obtain accurate rain fall readings, there should be no
obstacles (walls, trees, etc...) in the proximity of the rain gauge.
When the rain gauge's batteries are low, the following indicator will be shown under the rain fall
display: .
Setting the remote sensor
1. Pull off the detachable cover at the back of the remote sensor. Use a screwdriver to open the battery
door located at the back of the remote sensor unit. Insert 2 AA batteries according to the polarity.
Close back the battery compartment and tighten the screw. The remote sensor will now display the
outdoor temperature and humidity alternatively.
To toggle between °C or °F temperature display, press the °C/°F key [2].
The SM1960 comes with one remote sensor. If you have not purchased additional sensors, you do not
need any additional settings aside from inserting the batteries. Proceed to the next section. If you wish
to set your main unit to more than one sensor or experience interference during the settings, please
refer to section 'Multiple sensor use'.
Interference
The house code is the frequency signal sent by the remote sensor to the receiver. If your weather
station detects other signals from neighbouring sources, you need to set the remote sensor to a
different house code (default setting = 1).
After inserting the batteries, the house code will flash for 8 seconds. Select a house code (1-15) by
pressing °C/°F [11] and then press SET [10]. The house code is the frequency signal sent by the remote
sensor to the receiver. The remote sensors for each receiver must be set to the same house code.
Multiple sensor use
If you have purchased several remote sensors, you must set each of them to a different channel. The
channel function allows the receiver to identify each remote sensor. Each receiver can receive up to 3
different remote channels.
The channel will flash for 8 seconds after setting the house code. Select a channel (1-3) by pressing
°C/°F [11] and then press SET [10]. Channel 1 is used for collecting data from outdoor and activating
the weather forecast symbols.
Low battery indication: If the batteries of the sensor are are low, the indicator
on the main unit below the outdoor temperature display. Note: If the sensor is exposed to very low
temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries may lose power which may cause the
transmission range to be limited. High temperatures also reduce the battery performance.

Setting the main unit
Use your finger to lift the battery door located at the back of the main unit. If it proves difficult, use a flat
screwdriver to lift it. Then, insert 3 AA batteries according to the polarity. Close back the battery
compartment. The SM1960 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought
within the reception range of a radio signal. If the clock is within the range of both the DCF77 and MSF
radio signals, you can toggle between the 2 signals by sliding the DCF/MSF RCC key at the back of the
unit, inside the battery compartment [6].
The main unit will display the outdoor temperature and humidity data transmitted from the sensor.
If this is not the case, there might be interference in your neighbourhood. Please refer the paragraph
above (interference).
The main unit will also display the data collected from the anemometer and the rain gauge sensors. You
are now ready to use your new weather station.
Note: this step will take several minutes.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION: If the batteries of the main unit are low, the following indicator
will be displayed on the screen of the main unit below the inside temperature. When the main unit's LCD
display becomes dim, it indicates that the batteries are low and need to be changed.
SETUP
Automatic Learning Function
1. After batteries have been inserted in the remote sensor, rain gauge, anenometer and in the main unit,
the learning function is launched automatically and runs for approximately 3 minutes.
2. Within these 3 minutes, the main unit (receiver) picks up the temperature & humidity signals from the
remote sensor and displays the readings.
Manual-Learning (Searching for Remote Signals)
If a new remote sensor is added or if the signal is lost (outdoor display blinking), the learning function
must be executed again.
1. Press and hold CHN [4] for 3 seconds to start.
2. A beep sound indicates that the learning function has started.
3. The 'arrow' symbol inside the outside temperature trend box will flash, and unit will beep as each
remote sensor is detected.
4. Temperature & humidity readings of the remote sensor and wind direction, wind speed & rainfall
readings are displayed on the main unit.
Note: Auto/Manual Learn will not operate while the radio controlled clock is receiving DCF77 or MSF
signals.
