Note
• The wireless transmission range between the measuring
station, base station and wireless rain gauge is up to 100
m in open spaces.
• Before installation, ensure that wireless transmission
will not be disrupted by interference or obstacles like
buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc.
• Before the final installation, ensure that there is sufficient
reception between the intended installation locations.
• When installing the measuring station, ensure that it is
protected from direct sunlight and rain.
• The international standard height for measuring air
temperature, according to the German Meteorological
Service, is 2 m (6.5 ft) above ground.
5.1. Base station
• Use the base to position the base station (25) on a level
surface.
• Alternatively, you can install the base station on a wall using
the opening (22) on the back.
5.2. Measuring station
• You can also position the measuring station on a level
outdoor surface.
• We recommend installing the measuring station securely on
an outdoor wall.
• Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. in the wall of your choice.
• Hang up the base/measuring station using the opening (27)
intended for this purpose.
5.3 Wireless rain gauge
• You can also position the wireless rain gauge on a level
outdoor surface.
• It is recommended that you position the wireless rain
gauge safely, stably and horizontally in an area that is not
covered by trees, roof eaves, etc., to allow rain to fall into
the container without obstruction. If necessary, use the
integrated spirit level (33).
• Install an anchor, screw, nail, etc. into the intended
undersurface.
• Secure the wireless rain gauge using the drill holes provided
(31).
6. Operation
Note
Hold down the ‘ ’ button (17) or the ‘ ’ button (18) to
select the values faster.
6.1. Connection to the measuring station and wireless
rain gauge
• After you have inserted the batteries, the base station
automatically searches for a connection to the measuring
station and the wireless rain gauge, and performs initial setup.
N
ote
• Initial setup takes approx. 2 minutes.
• During the connection attempt, the measuring s
wireless rain gauge wireless symbol (15) will flash.
• Do not press any buttons during setup. Otherwise, values
may not be transmitted correctly and there is a risk of
value errors and inaccuracies.
• The setup process is completed when the indoor (10) and
outdoor (3) measurement data is displayed.
• The measured value is automatically updated by the base
device about every 45 seconds.
• If the temperature is outside of the measuring range,
--.-
(lower than minimum temperature) or
--.-
(higher than
maximum temperature) will appear on the temperature
display.
• If the base station consistently receives no signal from the
wireless rain gauge, press and hold the LIGHT button (1) for
approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the signal.
