Then check the function of the sensors (see next chapter).
Sensor testing
In case of malfunctions of the sensors, the display shows error messages instead
of values. Please observe the chapter „Error messages“ on this.
Sun sensor testing
By the short pressing of the
key on the operating unit you get to the
lightness display (see chapter "Display of lightness and wind speed"). The upper
value indicates the intensity of lightness in kilolux (kLux).
The sun sensor is located beneath the frosted glass cover of the weather station.
If lightness is not sufficient, you must illuminate the weather station from above
with a powerful torch until a value is indicated.
Wind sensor testing
By the short pressing of the
key on the operating unit you access the wind
speed display (see chapter "Display of lightness and wind speed"). The lower
value indicates the speed in meters per second (m/sec). The sensor pipe is on
the front side at the bottom part of the weather station. If you blow in there, the
value in the display changes.
Note: During the first approx. 90 seconds after the return of voltage at the
weather station, the wind value is not displayed correctly (e.g. after a power fail
or in case of a first start).
Rain sensor testing
Humidify one or several of the golden sensor areas in the cover of the weather
station. The
symbol (rain alarm) appears in the display. For this purpose, the
rain alarm in the automatic settings must be activated (this is the presetting as
delivered, also see chapter "G. Rain alarm"). Please observe that the rain
message is maintained for 5 minutes after the drying of the sensor.
Temperature sensor testing
If reasonable values are displayed next to the symbols
(outdoor
temperature) and
(indoor temperature), a correct function may be assumed.
