C&E Conrad RW 53 Wireless Weather Station with 2 Ourdoor Sensors WH 5300 Scheda Tecnica

The DCF signal is sent by a station in Mainflingen (near Frankfurt am
Main). Its range is up to 1500 km, and under perfect reception conditions
even up to 2000 km.

The DCF signal contains, among others, the precise time (deviation
theoretically 1 second in one million years!) and the date.

This means you do not have to switch manually between daylight savings
time and normal time; the time is adjusted automatically.

The first DCF reception attempt is always performed at initial
commissioning (insertion of the batteries in the outdoor sensor); see
chapter 8.



The DCF receiver is integrated in the outdoor sensor housing. This leads to much less interference in DCF
reception than in other weather stations.

A DCF reception attempt is performed several times per day. A single proper reception of the DCF signal
per day will keep the deviation of the quartz clock in the weather station below a second.

• Step 1:

If you do not see any current time in the display of the weather station after 10 minutes, remove the batteries from the
weather station and the outdoor sensor.

• Step 2:

Insert the batteries in the weather station again; see chapter 8. b). Wait for a few seconds until the regular display
appears.

• Step 3:

Insert the batteries in the outdoor sensor and proceed as described in chapter 8. c).



This procedure is required because the safety code of the outdoor sensor changes every time the batteries
are replaced. The weather station would no longer recognise the outdoor sensor.

Therefore, always proceed in the above order, so that the safety code of outdoor sensor and weather
station matches and the measured values and DCF data can be displayed.
