1 Scope of application
This weather station h as been designed for use solely as a weather
station. Weather stations supply information about room climate, can be
used to forecast the local weather and to rec eive information about the
external temperature, external humidity, and can give information about
frost (car drivers, agr iculturalists, etc.). The w eather station can be used
in the customer’s domain within the s pecified tolerances. Do N OT use
the weather station for commercial or professional weather forecasts. It
is not permitted to use the weather station for purposes other tha n those
described in the operating instructions as this may result in damage and
injury. No liability will be acce pted for claims arising from improper
use. You will find further instructions and explanations in the o perating
instructions.
2 Safety and maintenance
2.1 Safety information
Please read this section carefully and follow all the information given.
This will ensure reliable operation and ensure that the weath er station
will serve you for a long time. Keep the packaging and operating
instructions in a safe place so that you can give these to the new owner if
you sell the weat her station.
Never open the base station housing and the external sensor housing.
These do not have any parts to be maint ained (the exception to this is
opening the battery com partments to insert or change the batteries. See
point 7 Change battery display and ch anging the batteries). Do not put
any objects on the base station or on the external sensor and do not exert
any pressure on the display. This could cause the display to br eak. To
avoid damage do not touch the display with sharp objects.
2.2 Repair
In the event of necess ary repair or a technical problem, please contact
our service centr e. You will find the address on the guarantee card.
2.3 Conditions for operating environment
The base station is not protect ed against splashes. Ensure that your base
station is not subject to wet conditions or constant high levels of
humidity and avoid conditions which are dusty, hot and long periods of
direct sunlight. In order to ensure optimum radio regist ration, place or
hang the base station in a stable position, but not on a metallic surface.
The external sensor is protected against splashes. To use the device
outdoors, please choose a location in which the external sensor is not
exposed to rain or direct sunligh t. Ignoring this information may result in
faults or damage to the weather station or the external sensor.
2.4 Ambient temperature
The base station can be operate d constantly in an ambient temperature
from 0° to 50°C. It should only be exposed to temperatures from -10° to
0°C for short periods. If the base station is not being used, it can be
stored at temperatures of between -10° to 50°C. The external sensor can
be operated constantly in an ambient temperature from -10° to 50°C. It
should only be exposed to temperatures of -25° to -10°C and 50°C to
60°C for short periods of time. If the external sensor is not being used, it
can be stored at temperatures of between -10° to 50°C.
2.5 Electro-magnetic compa tibility
If possible, do not place the base station or the extern al sensor near to
computers, printers, television sets, mobile telephones or radios as
devices with strong EMC rays and other radio stations can interrupt or
prevent radio reception.
2.6 Battery operation
The ba se stat i on is o p era te d by two 1.5v AA batteries and the external
sensor is operated by two 1.5v AAA batteries. Below you will find
information about using batt eries.
Always replace batteries with batteries of the sam e type. Batteries must
not be recharged or reactivated by other means. Do not dismantle
batteries, throw them in the fire or shortcircuit them . Always keep
batteries out of the reach of childr en. Batteries can be harmful if
swallowed. Therefore k eep batteries and the weather stat ion out of the
reach of infants . If a battery is sw allowed, seek medical help
immediately.
Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid allowing the base station or the
external sensor and therefore the batter ies from becoming too hot.
Ignoring this information may result in damage and in some
circumstances m ay cause the batteries to explode. Temperatures of
below 0°C can have a negative effect on the life of batteries. You will
find information on changing batteries und er point 7, Change battery
display and changing batteries.
Tip: Please position the external sensor in such a way that it is not
exposed to extremes of heat or cold. In extremely cold conditio ns, the
batteries and therefore the transmission signal will be adverse ly affected.
2.7 Disposal
