INSTALLATION
The Rugiada sensor is provided with an IP44 plastic case in which the electronic radio
card is mounted. The case has wiring connecting it to the sensor unit and its power
supply. The following instructions must be complied with for proper installation of the
unit.
- The Rugiada sensor must be permanently connected to 230 V AC mains power. It has no
cut off switch. Therefore, the installer must provide for a cut off switch when installing
the system. A two-pole switch is required, with protection against accidental closing.
- Secure wiring attachment must be ensured by assembling cable clamps provided inside
the product.
- Handle the Rugiada sensor with care during installation. Make sure that its component
parts have been assembled properly. Pay particular attention to the sensor element and
its connection wiring. When reclosing the plastic case, pay particular attention to the
positioning of the wires.
- Attach the units to the wall using the screws and anchor plugs provided together with
the product.
- It is very important to establish the precise location of the Rugiada sensor components
so that the sensor element will be exposed to precipitation at a slope of about 45
degrees to avoid any pooling of water on it.
- Do not paint over the sensitive surface of the rain sensor.
- All operations that require opening the plastic case (installation, programming, repair,
etc.) must only be carried out by expert personnel.
- Install the plastic case with the processor board near the motor or the receiving control
unit, to reduce the distance travelled by the radio signal.
