Position
Choose an installation position in the building where wind, rain and sun can be
measured unhindered by the sensors. The weather station must not be installed
underneath any structural parts from which water can still drip onto the rain
sensor after it has stopped raining or snowing. The weather station must not be
shaded by anything, such as building structures or trees. There must be at least
60 cm of free space underneath the weather station to allow it to measure the
wind correctly and to prevent it from being snowed in when it snows.
Iron structures or large-surfaces of sheet metal directly behind or near the
weather station reduce the reception quality of the integrated radio clock
receiver. Please take this into account when choosing the installation site. Also,
magnetic fields, transmitters and interfering fields from electricity consumers
(e.g. fluorescent lamps, neon signs, switched-mode power supplies etc.) can
interfere with or even cut out reception of the DCF signal.
