2 Installation
Select the position for installation on the building or in the conservatory where wind and
rain can be determined by the sensors without hindrance. No construction parts may be
placed above the Weather Station from which water drops can fall onto the rain sensor
after it has stopped raining or snowing. The Weather Station may not be positioned in the
shade of the building or in tree shade. 60 cm free space must be allowed under the Wea-
ther Station in order to attain a correct wind measurement and to hinder snowing-over in
snowy conditions.
Metal constructions or large surface metal sheets directly behind or near the Weather Sta-
tion reduce the receiving quality of the built-in radio receiver. Please take this into consi-
deration when selecting the position for installation. Likewise, magnetic fi elds, transmitters
and interference from electrical devices (e.g. strip lamps, lighted signs, switching circuits
etc.) can negatively infl uence the reception of the DCF signal.
