AWR100 Manual

Install the new battery pack.

Attach the end cap to the reader and turn the screw of the end cap clockwise.

The screw has to be fastened completely, otherwise contact
problems can occur! Additionally the seal in the end cap is not
functioning properly in that case and the AWR might not be
watertight (IP67) anymore. Water damages due to the improper
attachment of the end cap are not covered by the warranty!
