MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR 

MAINTENANCE 

For a long lasting and reliable operation of the station it’s important to maintain the Sensetion. Local 
circumstances will determine how often this should be done. The minimum would be once a year, ahead of 
the growing season.  

Clean the solar panel of the data logger regularly. Clean the solar panel of the data logger with a wet cloth, 
without using abrasive materials or fluids. If the Sensetion has not been used for a prolonged period of 
time, the Sensetion should be placed outside in the sunlight, one week before the start of a new growing 
season.This will prevent the batteries from being discharged excessively and ensures longer lifespan of the 
batteries!  

TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR 

The Sensetion is made of new durable materials for rugged outdoor use. For a long lasting and reliable 
operation, the following points should be observed: 

1. Do not remove the screws at the bottom of the data logger. 

No repairs may be carried out! Once the 

sealing has been broken, the warranty will be void.  

2. When removing the Sensetion from the soil, don’t damage the sensors!

WARRANTY

The Sensetion is tested for correct operation before the device leaves the factory. The warranty period is 12 
months after delivery of the hardware. For the duration of one year, Dacom guarantees that any defect in 
materials or manufacturing defects will be repaired free of charge. The rights under the warranty lapse if 
the defects or damage are wholly or in part caused by improper use or incorrect treatment, or if they are in 
any other way attributable to the customer. To qualify for warranty, please contact

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) 

The Sensetion meets the provisions of the EU Directive 2014/30/EC (EMC Directive) and complies with the 
applicable standards on the condition that the Sensetion has been installed properly. Should such 
interference occur anyway, relocate the Weather Station.

 

CORRECT DISPOSAL OF AN USED BATTERY OF THIS PRODUCT 

This marking on the Sensetion, manual or packaging indicates that the batteries in this product should not 
be thrown away, mixed with other waste, at the end of their lifespan. The chemical symbol Pb indicates that 
the lead content in the battery is higher than the reference level in the Directive 2013/66/EC. If the used 
batteries are not handled correctly, these substances can be harmful to human health or the 
environment. To protect natural resources and to promote material reuse, please separate your waste 
batteries from other types of waste and o er them for recycling to the free collection system for 
accumulators and batteries in your area.
