Set-Up & Installation; Weather Station; Outdoor Sensor - Conrad DV216NL Notice D'emploi

11. Set-up & installation
Once you have started to use the components of the system as described in Chapter 10, you
can now put/install the outdoor sensor in a suitable place. Of course, the same applies to the

weather station.

When drilling/tightening, be careful not to damage any power supply lines, gas
or water pipes, as there may be life-threatening danger involved!
Before screwing in a screw or hook for wall mounting or before you drill a hole
for a dowel, you should check if there is a faultless reception of radio data
possible at the mounting location (DCF data or readings of the outdoor
sensor(s)).
a) Weather station
The weather station can be installed in a suitable place via the foot. This must be horizontal,
sufficiently large, stable and even, and should also lie out of the reach of children.
For wall mounting, there is a corresponding opening on the back of the weather station. The
base is to be folded in for this.
The set-up or installation site should be selected in a way that the weather station is not in the
proximity of heaters or similar. Direct sunlight should also be avoided (the weather station
heats up and therefore the air temperature in the room is no longer measured).
b) Outdoor sensor
Mount the outdoor sensor in a protected outdoor area which is in the shade all day long.
Otherwise the temperature reading will be useless because of the solar radiation.
The same applies if the sensor is exposed to rain or snow for a relatively long period of time
(the temperature sensor wouldn't measure the air temperature anymore in this case).
Do not expose the outdoor sensor directly to rain, do not use the outdoor sensor
in or under water - it might be destroyed!
