Installation and first use 

 

The weather station may only be installed, tested, put into  

operation and troubleshot by a person qualified to do so. 

 

When connecting the weather station, do not connect any live wires (switch off the 

mains fuse first) and take precautionary measures to prevent them from being 

accidentally switched back on. Make sure all connections are correct. An incorrect 

connection could destroy the weather station or any electronic devices connected to it.  

 

The weather station must be used for its intended purpose only. Any improper 

modification or failure to observe the operation instructions will void all guarantees or 

claims to warranty. 

When unpacking, check the unit immediately for any mechanical damage. The supplier 

must be informed immediately of any damage caused during transport. 

 

The weather station must not be put into use if  

damaged.
