Installation of the Weather Station and Connection of the Drive
Notes on Installation of the Weather Station
Do not open the weather station if water (rain) could get inside. Even a few drops of
water could damage the electronics. Pay attention to proper connection. Incorrect
connection can lead to destruction of the weather station and the control electronics.
During installation, pay attention that the temperature sensor (small printed circuit board
on the underside of the housing) is not damaged. The connecting cable between printed
circuit board and rain sensor must also not be torn off or kinked during installation.

Installation of the Operating Unit
The operating unit is battery operated and communicates by radio with the weather
station.
Do not install the operating unit where it could be exposed to direct sunlight as this
could falsify the measurement of the indoor temperature. The sensor for this is located
in the lower half of the operating unit. For the same reason, the operating unit should
not be installed above a radiator. Ensure that direct draughts from windows or doors do
not falsify the measured values.
Avoid a relative humidity of more than 80%. Avoid condensation.

Notes on Radio Systems
During planning, ensure that there is sufficient radio reception. The range of radio
controls is limited by the statutory provisions for radio systems and by the conditions at
the installation site (if the radio signal has to pass through walls and ceilings).
In order not to impair the reception quality, a minimum distance of 30 cm should be
maintained between radio transmitters. Both operating unit and weather station should
therefore be installed at a sufficient distance from other radio transmitters. Powerful
local transmitters (e.g. radio headphones) transmitting on the same frequency (868.2
MHz) can interfere with the reception. Furthermore, the operating unit should not be
installed in the immediate vicinity of metallic surfaces.
