7.6 Testing sensors
Test the sensor function (points 7.6.1
– 7.6.3).

®
, error messages will be displayed (see
point 9) instead of values

key in the control panel. 2.2).
The sensor tube is placed in front on the underside of the weather station. When wind blows into the pipe,
the value on the display changes.

the weather station (e.g. after a loss of power or at start up).

the shown on the display (rain alarm) in association with this, the rain alarm shall be set to active in the
automatic settings. The control panel is pre-programmed to ON (point 3.4)
Note that the rain alarm is maintained for 5 minutes after the sensor has dried.

8. Maintenance
8.1 Weather station
The weather station should be checked regularly for dirt and cleaned if needed. A lot of dirt can impair the
wind sensor’s function, and may contribute to the non-detection of a rain message.
In the event of a power failure, the entered data is saved for almost 10 years. No battery is required.
8.2 Control panel
Clean the control panel as needed, using a cloth wrung out in water mixed with a mild cleaner.
8.2.1 Batteries
The battery chamber is located inside the control panel.
The control panel is opened by opening the lock on the under edge of the panel. This is done by pressing a
screwdriver into the hole at the front.
2 standard batteries are used, either 1.5 or 1.2 V type AA (Mignon/LR6).
Close the unit by hooking the front plate with the printer into the rearmost part
at the top. Push in and lock, the lock will make a clear click
