Setting the sunshine threshold value

The set up field enables the brightness threshold to be set, above which the light striking the brightness sensor is to be interpreted as sunshine. This threshold can be set between 1 and 99 klux and is set in the factory to 20 klux.

A value above the set value is counted as sunshine and is indicated by the little sun symbol in the “SUNSHINE DURATION” display field.

This value corresponds to the threshold value generally used in meteorology for registering the hours of sunshine.

-Touch screen field 19 (SUNSHINE DURATION) must be pressed in order to set the required threshold value.

-The associated display will now flash:

and the lower touch screen field will change to the following

-The required value can now be set using the touch screen fields “+” and “–”. It is possible to run through the display more quickly by pressing for longer.

-When the value has been set, you can exit set-up by pressing the “END” key. The value is now stored.

On its part, the brightness sensor also determines a sunshine duration referred to a fixed threshold of 20 klux. If a threshold of 20 klux is set at the base station, it takes the value transmitted by the sensor for its further calculations. The advantage of this is that breaks in reception have no effect on the measured value.

Setting the time function

The time of day, AM/PM indication (for 12h display) and the activated WWVB receiving function (radio mast symbol) are displayed in touch screen field 20.
