Installation and Commissioning
Charging the internal energy storage
The radio sensors are supplied with energy from ambient light converted to electricity by means of integrated solar cells. An illuminance of
500 lx should be available for 4 hours for charging. Excess energy is used for charging the internal energy storage in order to ensure proper
operation during periods of insufficient or absence of ambient light.
The sensor reaches its full operating runtime capacity in the dark not until the internal energy storage is completely charged. This may take
several days, depending on ambient light intensity conditions. Runtime capacity in the dark is depending on the transmission interval and the
charging state of the energy storage.
Setting frequency of transmission
The radio sensor transmits its radio telegram at fixed intervals and in response to corresponding measuring value changes.
Event-driven transmission of measured values by the radio sensor:
Press the "Learn In" button or the presence push-button to trigger a measuring cycle and generate a radio telegram.
The radio sensor transmits its measured data time-controlled:
Settings for the time-controlled transmission cycle can be made via the quadruple "Mode" DIP switch block. By means of DIP switches Nos. 1 and 2
(Wake-Up), a measurement cycle interval can be selected within the range of 1 to 100 seconds. The settings for the number of measurement cycles
after which a transmission telegram is generated are made at DIP switches Nos. 3 and 4 (Retransmission). The various setting alternatives are
shown in the table following below:

Whenever a measurand has changed significantly between regular two measurement cycles, a radio telegram with the current measurement data is
transmitted, regardless of the actual transmitting cycle settings.
Threshold values for changes causing a radio telegram transmission:
Changes in temperature > ° C | relative humidity > % r.H.
Note: The settings for measurement cycle and transmission cycle have an effect on the device's runtime capacity in the dark.

Learning-in of the transmitter
To establish the connection between the transmitter and receiver and to transmit the measured data correctly, you must learn in the sensor
with the corresponding receiver. To do this, press the "Learn In" button on the sensor and activate the learn mode on the receiver. The learn
telegram contains information about the manufacturer, the device type as well as its function.
The device is learned in using the EEP: A5-04-02
In contrast to EEP, the illumination is issued in DB 3.
