2.3.8Information on the storage of solar cell powered outdoor sensors

These sensors receive their operating voltage from a solar cell that charges an internal battery to provide power for periods of darkness and bad weather.

If one of these sensors is out of action for some time and does not receive any light this has no affect on the internal battery, provided the magnets designed to activate the operating voltage are removed.

Therefore the sensor can be stored for several months in its packaging, for example.

After this however, the internal battery must be charged again before being put back into operation. To do this, the sensor must be exposed to strong light for several days without the activation magnet in order to charge the battery via the solar cell.

3.Operation

After the installation of the wireless sensors and the subsequent commissioning of the base unit, the transmitted and converted data appears in the appropriate fields of the display. If the displays do not appear you will find information on fixing faults in section 5 (faults).

Please note that the only data that can be displayed is that for which the appropriate sensors have been installed. There can be no display of rainfall without a rain sensor, for example.

As all relevant data appears on the screen concurrently, operation is essentially restricted to the simple selection of further sensors or weather data by gently touching the appropriate display field.

Overview of the weather station touch screen fields.

The display is subdivided into 29 touch screen fields, which are not all active at the same time. The touch screen fields provided in the bottom line of controls are only active when their text appears. The appearance of the remaining touch screen fields is dependent upon the operating mode of the station.

Every time a currently valid (active) touch screen field is pressed, a short beep will be heard. If required, this can be switched off in the configuration mode.

3.1.Basic settings, Configuration

The weather station is delivered in a condition that allows you to use its basic functions immediately after commissioning without further adjustment. It can be adapted to suit individual requirements by means of further settings and configuration.
