If there is any cause to believe that safe operation is no longer guaranteed, the system
must be rendered inoperative and secured against being switched on unintentionally.
The weather station may only be operated as a stationary installation; i.e. only when
mounted and after all installation and initialization procedures are complete, and only in
the environment it is intended for.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes to standards or defaults after publication
of the operation instructions.
Position
Choose an installation position in the building where wind, rain and sun can be
measured 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 underneath the weather station to
allow it to measure the wind correctly and to prevent it from being snowed in when it
snows. Please ensure that the extended awning does not cast shade on the unit, and
that this is not protected from the wind.
Temperature measurements can also be affected by external influences such as by
warming or cooling of the building structure on which the sensor is mounted, (sunlight,
heating or cold water pipes).
Iron structures or large-surfaces of sheet metal directly behind or near the weather
station reduce the reception quality of the integrated radio clock receiver. Please take
this into account when choosing the installation site. Also, magnetic fields, transmitters
and interfering fields from electricity consumers (e.g. fluorescent lamps, neon signs,
switched-mode power supplies etc.) can interfere with or even cut out reception of the
DCF signal.
