7. Preparation and Start-up
Please note:
First start up all provided sensors (multipurpose sensor and possibly exist-
ing outdoor sensors) (insert batteries) before starting up the weather station
itself.
If you fail to follow this order of proceeding, it may be that the base station is
not able to identify the provided sensors!
It is principally recommended to test the base station with all its sensors (supplied multipurpose
sensor and possibly existing outdoor sensors) first in a room, before installing the sensors
outside.
The distance between the base station and the sensors must be at least m to avoid
interference. Do not place the sensors side by side, but install them throughout the
area (e.g. if you have purchased several additional sensors).
If you find out that one of the sensors is not received after the installation, you can take it for
granted that the radio reception is too weak.
You avoid complex and time-consuming troubleshooting, if you perform this first functional test.
Start-up of the Multipurpose Sensor
• Open the housing of the multipurpose sensor. First, turn
the lower cover of the housing a little bit towards the arrow
as shown on the right
(1)
and then pull it carefully
downwards

.
• There are two options to mount the sensor on a mast:
1. Own installation mast, e.g. purchased in the DIY
superstore
. Optionally available installation mast matched to the
system (not included in the scope of delivery, is to be
ordered separately)
