Commissioning the combination sensor
• Open the casing of the sensor. First of all, turn the lower casing cover slightly in the direction
of the arrow (1) as shown below and then carefully lower the casing cover.
• Now insert three batteries (LR6/mignon/AA) with the correct polarity
into the battery compartment (see illustration below on the right).
Use preferably alkaline batteries.
Accumulators can also be used but these reduce will
reduce the range due to the lower voltage / capacity as
well as their operating life!
For the first 5 minutes the combination sensor is in a test mode and
sends its data-telegrams in an intervall of approx. 3 seconds. After
completion of the test mode the normal transmission interval of ap-
prox. 155 seconds is activated.
It must be guaranteed that the combination sensor has already left
its test mode when the synchronisation mode of the base station
is terminated, otherwise a normal reception isn’t possible.
• Close the sensor casing, slide the cover to the top and lock it
again.
• Assemble the installation base.
As already explained above, you should first of all install the sensors
in the garden etc. after a successful initial function test.
It may be difficult to find a favourable place for the combination sen-
sor as this should stand preferably in the shade in order to measure
the correct temperature. On the other hand, it is also necessary to
consider the functions of the wind and rain sensor.
Closeness to buildings, trees, etc. may impair the measuring values
of the wind and rain sensor.
Once you have found a favourable location, insert the earth peg deep into the ground in order to
ensure the stability of the combination sensor.
When selecting the installation site, take the safety of children, pets, vehicles,
etc into consideration.
Any risk of the combination sensor’s falling poses the risk of injury or danger
of damaging vehicles or other objects.
You can also use a hammer to insert the earth peg into the ground. However,
use a suitable piece of wood or similar in order not to damage the top end of
the pipe as this makes it impossible to connect the other pieces of pipe (loss
of warranty)!
Make sure that there are no pipes or similar installed in the area where you wish
to insert the peg into the ground (e.g. hoses for irrigation systems or similar).
