The sensor is supplied in an
operational status. Probably,
the internal solar energy stor-
age must be reloaded after a
longer storage of the radio
sensors in darkness. In prin-
ciple, the reloading process is
done automatically during the
first operating hours in day-
light. For this purpose, please refer to the remarks "so-
lar energy storage".

Installation

In order to assure a correct
evaluation of the measuring
values by the receiver, it is nec-
essary to have the devices
learned by the receiver. This is
done automatically by means of
a "learn button" (C) at the sen-
sor. The learn button must
press for 5 seconds.
6. Transmitting Frequency
The sensors send time controlled telegrams to the re-
ceiver.
A telegram includes all information (temperature value
etc....). (see table 3 Technical Data)
7. Information on Wireless Sensors
7.1 Transmission Range
As the radio signals are electromagnetic waves, the
signal is damped on its way from the sender to the re-
ceiver. That is to say, the electrical as well as the mag-
netic field strength is removed inversely of the distance
between sender to receiver.
Beside these natural transmission range limits, further
interferences have to be considered: Metallic parts,
e.g. reinforcements in walls, metallized foils of thermal
insulations or metallized heat-absorbing glass, are re-
flecting electromagnetic waves. Thus, a so-called radio
shadow is built up behind these parts.
It is true that radio waves can penetrate walls, but
thereby the damping attenuation is even more in-
creased than by a propagation in the free field (table1).

For the practice, this means, that the building material
used in a building is of paramount importance for the
evaluation of the transmitting range. For an evaluation
of the environment, some guide values are listed
(table2):

In addition, the angle with which the signal sent arrives
at the wall is of great importance. Depending on the an-
gle, the effective wall strength and thus the damping at-
tenuation of the signal changes. If possible, the signals
should run vertically through the walling. Walling re-
cesses should be avoided.
7.2 Other Interference Sources
Devices, that also operate with high-frequency signals,
e.g. computer, auido-/video systems, electronical
transformers and ballasts etc. are also considered as
an interference source.
The minimum distance to such devices should amount
to 0,5 m.
