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. Ensure it is connected properly. An incorrect
connection can lead to destruction of the weather station and the control electronics.
During installation, pay particular attention to ensure that the temperature sensor
(small PCB on the underside of the housing) is not damaged. Also ensure that the
connecting cable between the PCB and rain sensor is not torn off or kinked when
connecting it.
The operating unit is battery-operated and communicates via 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 readings.
Avoid a relative humidity of more than 80%. Avoid condensation.

Installation of the operating unit
During planning, ensure that there is adequate radio reception. The range of radio
controls is limited by the statutory provisions for radio systems and by conditions at
the installation site (if the radio signal has to pass through walls and ceilings).
In order not to impair reception quality, a minimum distance of 30 cm should be
maintained between radio transmitters. Both the 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.
