Sensor).

The main unit is compatible with the following sensors:

THGR228N, THGR328N, THR228N, THR328N and

THWR288. (Additional sensors are sold separately.

Contact your local retailer for more information.)


The RTGR328N Sensor collects temperature and humidity readings, and signals from official time-keeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and

radio signal format before you mount the sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 70 metres

(230 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

• Position the sensor so that it faces the main

(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors,

walls, and furniture.

• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the

sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.

• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold

winter months as below-freezing temperatures may

affect battery performance and signal transmission.

NOTE The transmission range may vary and is subject to the receiving range of the main unit.

You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.


SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION

Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 60 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature / Humidity Area indicates the status.

ICON DESCRIPTION

Main unit is searching for sensors.

--- shows in Temp /

Sensor 1 is sending data. (The number shows which sensor is selected.)

The selected sensor cannot be found.

Search for the sensor or check batteries.

Then, press and hold MEM and CH for 2 seconds.

NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries.

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The time and date are automatically updated by radiocontrolled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby

(England) unless you disable this feature. The signals are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N) whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when


you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET.

Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.

In addition to the local time and calendar display, you can also select to display the corresponding time of 130 major world cities.

The unit cannot reach the remote sensor.

NOTE To force a manual search for RF clock reception, press and hold SEARCH on the sensor

(RTGR328N) for 2 seconds.

UV MEASUREMENT

The UVR128 Ultra-Violet Radiation Sensor is included with the BAR966HG and is available as an optional item for the BAR916HG. The UV sensor gives you the following information at your fingertips:

• 10-hour Ultra-Violet Index (UVI) record.

• Automatic calculation of acceptable UV exposure

times based on pre-set user profiles (4 users

maximum).

• UVI Danger Alert when UV Index reaches unsafe

levels.

UV data is shown in the same area as the Barometer.

Press SEL to navigate to the Barometer Area, then press

MODE to display the UV icon and data.

NOTE Refer to the UVR128 User Manual for more information and see below to learn about the new additional UV features.
