Cleaning

 

 

Photo sensors or solar panels must always be clean 

to avoid incorrect measuring values and to ensure 

operating reliability. The device should occasionally be 

checked for soiling (e.g. bird droppings) and cleaned 

carefully. Standard household cleaners may be used. 

Do not use solvents.

 

 

In snowfall, check daily that the solar panel and pho-

todiodes are free of snow. A snow-covered weather 

station may fail to function properly. If the energy in the 

buffer is depleted, the weather station fails completely. 

It resumes normal operation after it is recharged via 

the solar panel.

 

 

The weather station may ice over and the wind wheel 

may freeze up in extreme weather conditions. To avoid 

wind damage, take your sun shading system out of 

operation until wind monitoring can be resumed.

 

 

Never remove firmly attached layers of ice and snow. 

Scratching, heat and chemical antifreeze agents may 

damage the weather station.

Maintenance

There are no parts within the device that require mainte-

nance.
Strong vibrations at the installation location (for exam-

ple, from frequent high wind loads) can loosen the fixing 

screws. If the joint screw is not properly tightened, the 

orientation of the weather station may change as well.

 

 

Therefore, check from time to time that the weather 

station is still firmly installed and that all screws are 

sufficiently tight.

Liability

Failure to comply with the product information in these 

instructions and use of the device in a manner that con-

travenes its intended use and purpose may result in the 

manufacture refusing to honour warranty claims for prod-

uct damage. In this case, liability for consequential harm 

to persons or damage to property will also be excluded. 

Follow also the instructions in the operating manual of 

your sun shading system. The automatic or manual opera-

tion of the sun shading system when iced over as well as 

using the sun shading system during severe weather may 

cause damages and must be prevented by the user by 

taking suitable precautions. 

ITNCE

R

The device meets the requirements on interfer-

ence resistance and interference emission for 

use in residential and commercial areas.

Disposal

After its use, the device must be disposed off according to 

legal regulations or returned to your local recycling centre!
