7. Preparation for operation,
commissioning
We always recommend you to first of all try out the base station with all outdoor sensors (in as much as you
have purchased additional outdoor sensors besides the supplied combination sensor) in a room before
installing the outdoor sensors in the open air. However, the distance between the base station and the out-
door sensors should be at least 2 m in order to avoid interference.
If you notice that one outdoor sensor is out of range after installation, you can assume that radio reception is
not sufficient (and that there is no defect in the outdoor sensor).
This initial function test will save extensive and time-consuming error searches afterwards.
a) Commissioning the combination sensor
•
Open the casing of the sensor. First of all, turn the lower casing cover slight-
ly in the direction of the arrow (1) as shown below and then carefully lower
the casing cover.
•
Now insert three batteries (LR6/mignon/AA) with the correct polarity into
the battery compartment (see illustration below on the right).
Use preferably alkaline batteries.
Accumulators can also be used but these reduce will reduce the ran-
ge due to the lower voltage / capacity as well as their operating life!
•
Close the sensor casing, slide the cover to the top and lock it again.
•
Assemble the installation base.
As already explained above, you should first of all install the sensors in the gar-
den etc. after a successful initial function test.
It may be difficult to find a favourable place for the combination sensor as this
should stand preferably in the shade in order to measure the correct tempera-
ture. On the other hand, it is also necessary to consider the functions of the
wind and rain sensor.
Closeness to buildings, trees, etc. may impair the measuring values of the wind
and rain sensor.
Once you have found a favourable location, insert the earth peg deep into the
ground in order to ensure the stability of the combination sensor.

Please observe:
First of all, put all available outdoor sensors into operation (insert batteries) and then
the base station itself.
If you proceed in the opposite order, it could occur that the base station does not
detect all the existing outdoor sensors.
