HYUNDAI WS 8446 Weather Station

Introduction

This document provides instructions for operating and maintaining the Hyundai WS 8446 weather station. It covers setup, features, and technical specifications.

Description of Controls

Powering the Weather Station

To power the main unit, open the battery compartment (16) on the back and insert three "AAA" batteries, observing correct polarity. The unit can also be powered via the external power supply socket (17) using the provided adapter.

Powering the External Sensor

Open the battery compartment (21) on the rear of the sensor and insert two "AA" batteries, observing correct polarity.

Setting the External Sensor

This weather station can communicate with up to three external sensors; one is included, and two are optional.

1. Power the weather station as described above.
2. Insert batteries into the external sensor. Set the channel selector (20) to the desired transmission channel (1, 2, or 3). Data will be automatically transmitted to the weather station.
3. Use the UP button (14) to select the channel set on the external sensor on the main unit. This cycles through channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, or sequential display of all 3 channels (indicated by a flashing channel icon). If no signal is received, a "-" symbol will appear.

Note: Place the weather station away from devices that generate magnetic fields, such as mobile phones and televisions.

Time Display Through Radio Control

The device receives a time signal from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany, with a range of 1500 km.

• Press and hold the DOWN button (15) on the weather station. The radio control symbol (9) will flash. Within 24 hours, the radio-controlled time will be displayed.
• Note 1: While the radio control symbol is flashing, manual adjustments are not possible.
• Note 2: A steady radio control symbol indicates a properly received signal.
• Note 3: Time is transmitted from Central Germany. If your region has a different time zone, you must set the time zone manually.
• Note 4: Position the weather station away from devices that generate magnetic fields (e.g., mobile phones, televisions).

Radio signal reception may not be possible in all parts of Europe. In such cases, manual time setting is required.

Manual Clock Setting

Weather Forecast

The digital barometer automatically detects atmospheric pressure changes and displays corresponding weather forecast symbols (1). This forecast is valid for 12/24 hours.

Example: If the barometer detects high pressure, a [sun icon] will be displayed. However, it may rain externally, as the forecast covers the next 12/24 hours.

Note: Weather forecast symbols may not reflect current conditions; they relate to future weather. Forecasts are not 100% accurate due to various factors. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by incorrect forecasts.

Temperature and Humidity (Indoor/Outdoor) – Min/Max Values – Barometric Pressure

Temperature is indicated on the right side of the display. Humidity is shown in a small box next to the temperature.

• The INDOOR display shows interior temperature and humidity.
• The OUTDOOR display shows temperature and humidity detected by the external sensor.
• Press the DOWN button (15) to select temperature units (°C or °F).

Daily Minimum/Maximum Values

Press the MEM button (12) to display the highest recorded temperature/humidity for the day. Press MEM (12) again to display the lowest recorded values. Holding down MEM (12) during min/max display will clear stored data and start a new calculation.

Atmospheric Pressure

Press and hold the MEM button (12). The current pressure in hPa will be displayed in the CALENDAR area. Press and hold MEM (12) again to return to the date display.

Outdoor Temperature Trend – Outdoor Temperature Below 0 °C

Along with the outdoor temperature, trend icons (6) indicate the forecast:

• Temperature Decreases: Icon appears when a drop of more than -1 °C is registered.
• Temperature Stable: Icon appears when the change is within +/- 1 °C.
• Temperature Rising: Icon appears when an increase of more than +1 °C is registered.

If the external sensor detects a temperature below 0 °C, an [ice/sleet icon] will appear on the weather forecast display, indicating potential ice formation. With multiple sensors, the icon appears only if a sensor detecting below 0 °C receives a signal.

Technical Data

Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.
