FACTORY DEFAULT – SHIPPING MODE
After delivery the room operating unit might be in default shipping mode, in this case press the learn button (<1 second) at the rear of
the device [Signal telegramm will be send. SIG -> 0x0F // shipping mode deacticvated].
For further shipment, it is possible to set the room operating unit back in default shipping mode. In this case the learn button must be
pressed for >3sec [Signal telegramm will be send, SIG -> 0x0E // shipping mode activated].
In order to assure a correct evaluation of the measured values by the receiver, it is necessary to have the devices learned in by the receiver. This
is done automatically by means of a “learn button” at the sensor or manually by input of the 32bit sensor ID and a special “learning procedure”
between sender and receiver. The respective details are described in the corresponding software documentation of the receiver.
The sensor is supplied in an operational status. Probably, the internal solar energy storage must be recharged after a longer storage of the radio
sensors in darkness. Basically, the recharging process is done automatically during the first operating hours in daylight. For this purpose, please
refer to the remarks “

BACK UP BATTERY
The device is primarily supplied from the internal energy storage. An inserted battery supports and recharges the internal energy storage. Mignon
AA 1.5V (alkaline manganese) or LS 14500 AA 3.6V (lithium battery) can be used. Insert the battery correctly into the battery compartment as
indicated.

CRC8 CHECKSUM
By default, the radio transmitter uses the checksum CRC8 in its telegrams. This has the advantage that faulty telegrams can be better verified and
sorted out on critical radio ranges. Radio receivers older than the TCM3xx only support a simple checksum. In this case, the radio transmitter must
be set to simple checksum. To do this, the teach-in button must be pressed 5x consecutively following. The simple checksum is compatible with
all receivers. If the transmitter is to be reset to CRC8 checksum, then the learn button must be pressed 3x consecutively.

ENERGY STATUS (SIGNAL TELEGRAM)
The device is primarily supplied from the internal energy storage. An inserted battery supports and recharges the internal energy storage.
If the energy state is low, an additional signal telegram (SIG) - [06 01] is sent every 2nd transmission interval. Ensure sufficient ambient brightness,
change the battery or insert a battery for support due to insufficient ambient brightness.
If the energy state reaches a critical level, an additional signal telegram (SIG) - [06 00] is sent out 15 times with each transmission interval. After
the last transmission interval, the device falls into the shipping mode to prevent the device from irreversible damage to the energy storage by deep
discharge.
The device can now only be retrieved from the shipping mode by pressing the learn button.
Please recharge the device for a long time in sufficient ambient light or via the optionally available programming interface (see accessories), or
insert a new battery.
If the energy status is good after awakening from the shipping mode, an additional signal telegram with the energy state 100% is transmitted with
the respective first 3 transmission intervals (SIG) - [06 64].
Signal telegrams (SIG) can be received with an STC-Ethernet and evaluated by the superior control unit (BMS).
