2 Hazard information
Do not open the device: it does not contain any
components that need to be serviced by the
user. The device may only be operated indoors
and must be protected from the effects of damp
and dust, as well as from solar and other
methods of heat radiation.
3 How the radio water sensor
works
The radio water sensor features five measuring elec
-
trodes which alternately detect the ground humidity
and a water level of above 1.5 mm via two measure-
ment paths (a distinction can only be made between
the two different message types if a HomeMatic central
control unit is used). Decoding circuitry converts the
detected status into HomeMatic radio commands. The
device is battery-operated, meaning it can be used
flexibly and in any location.
