generally displayed in the display section in the upper left part of the LCD. After insertion

of the batteries the sensor is immediately operable.

Remote Outdoor Sensor

The mounting of the sensor should take place anywhere to the west or north since

temperatures in meteorology usually are measured in the shadow. It can however be

mounted at any other location if desired. It simply must be observed that the solar cell

powering the sensor does have to point towards the light in any case. The sensor must

not be obstructed by any close impediments such as leaves or the like since this will

prevent the solar cell from efficiently powering the sensor. A thinkable mounting location

would e.g. be a spot beneath the roof extension.

The sensor is designed for wall or mast mounting, which can be performed in the

following way:

Either mount the wall holder of the sensor in an exact perpendicular position to a wall by

means of four screws or to a mast by use of the supplied mounting bracket.

Place the sensor into the wall holder and secure both parts by use of the supplied screw.

Ensure that the large protective hood lies on top and the solar cell is pointing towards the

light.

During darkness and periods of bad weather with a relative lack of sunlight an internal

battery system buffered by the solar cell will take care of the sensor’s power supply.

Remote Rain Volume Sensor

Generally mount the Remote Rain Volume Sensor with its solar cell pointing in a southerly

direction.

The Rain Volume Sensor must be securely mounted to an exact horizontal surface by

means of its mounting holes in the bottom part of the housing. Prior to this remove the

upper part from the lower portion by pressing and turning the upper part clockwise with

regard to the bottom part. Remove the transport protection from the seesaw in the lower

part of the sensor and check by tilting that the seesaw can move freely and easily to its

both endpositions.

A cavity in form of a „T“ in the bottom part of the Rain Volume Sensor can be filled with

water and thus allows an exact horizontal alignment without any other auxiliary means.

Fill a small amount of water into this cavity and align the bottom part of the sensor by

principle of a spirit-level. After marking the exact mounting position the water can be

removed. Observe the southerly alignment for the solar cell. By doing this the short

leg of the engraved spirit-level must point to the north.

In order to reach the best possible remote

transmission (high transmission range) it is

recommended not to mount the Rain Volume

Sensor too close to the ground. Mounting the

unit at a height of appr. 3.3 ft (1 m) also reduces

the danger of pollution (especially the solar cell).

Observing the correct polarity insert the color

marked magnet into the holder.

Important Note!

In order to avoid start-up problems make

sure that the color marked magnet is inserted

observing the correct polarity as shown in

the illustration opposite.

After securely screwing the bottom part of the sensor to the mounting surface replace the

upper part as follows:

On the side of the counting seesaw for the rain volume in the bottom part of the sensor

there is a bar magnet mounted in the center initialising the counting pulses for the

electronics.

The top of the housing has now to be replaced in such a way that the solar cell is also

placed on the side of the magnet with the electronics part also directly opposite and the

three retaining hooks exactly fitting into the holders in the bottom part. Turn the upper part

carefully in a counter-clockwise direction until the retaining hooks tightly lock into place.

The Remote Rain Volume Sensor is now operable. For testing purposes very slowly pour

a small amount of water into the funnel. The collected amount will later be computed and

displayed in inch or mm in the Base Station.

Note!

When mounting the Remote Rain Volume Sensor make sure that the collected

water can drain off easily without any obstruction (even in case of sleet or snow).

8. Setting Up

Before setting up, the Intended Use as well as the various Safety

Notes and the Specifications have to be closely observed. Make

sure before setting up that the device does fit the intended

purpose for which you want to use it.

Activating the Sensors

The Outdoor Sensors for wind measurement, acquisition of rain volume and

measurement of outdoor temperature and humidity are for power supply equipped with a

solar cell as well as a Lithium buffer battery for periods of darkness and bad weather.

In oder to protect the precious batteries from over-discharging during long storage periods

without incidence of light to the solar cell (e.g. when packaged), the power supply is only

activated by means of a small magnet which must be inserted into the sensor from the

outside prior to first setup. The magnet belonging to the respective sensor should thus

only be inserted a short time before the Base Station is put into operation.
