Installation and commissioning

2.1. Installation notes

Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should 
only be performed by an electrician.

CAUTION!
Live voltage! 

There are unprotected live components inside the device.

National legal regulations are to be followed.

Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take
precautions against accidental switching on.

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
failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and all warranty and guarantee
claims.

After unpacking the device, check it immediately for possible mechanical damage. If it
has been damaged in transport, inform the supplier immediately.

The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when assem-
bled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and only in
the surroundings designated for it.

Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur
after publication of these operating instructions.

2.1.1. Installation position

Choose an installation position in the building where wind, rain and sun can be meas-
ured unhindered by the sensors. The weather station must not be installed underneath
any structural parts from which water can still drip onto the rain sensor after it has
stopped raining or snowing. The weather station must not be shaded by anything,
such as building structures or trees. There must be at least 60 cm of free space under-
neath the weather station to allow it to measure the wind correctly and to prevent it
from being snowed in when it snows. The distance also protects the unit against da-
mage by birds.
