Do not use the device if it is damaged.
•
Take the device or system out of service and secure it against
unintentional use, if it can be assumed, that risk-free operation is no
longer guaranteed.
The device is only to be used for its intended purpose. Any improper modification or

2.1.1. Location
Select an assembly location at the building where wind, rain and sun may be collected
by the sensors unobstructedly. Do not assemble any construction components above
the weather station from where water may drop on to the rain sensor after it has
stopped raining or snowing. The weather station may not be shaded by the building or
for example by trees. Leave at least 60 cm of free space beneath the weather station in
order to enable a correct wind measurement and in order to avoid that the weather sta-
tion is snowed in if there is heavy snowfall. The distance also protects the unit against
damage by birds.
Please ensure that the extended awning does not cast shade on the unit, and that this
is not protected from the wind.
Temperature measurements can also be affected by external influences such as by
warming or cooling of the building structure on which the sensor is mounted, (sun-
light, heating or cold water pipes). Temperature variations from such sources of inter-
ference must be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure the specified accuracy of the
sensor (temperature offset).
