3 Putting
into
Operation
At first it is necessary to decide whether AC power (adapter included) or batteries will be used to
operate the system. Both methods allow the connection of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor and Base
Station by cable or by 433 MHz radio signal.
Note:
When initially installing the Weather Station, it is important to temporarily set up the
entire system as you intend to use it (wired or wireless) in close proximity. (For example
on a table)
This measure serves to test all components for correct function prior to final
installation.
