Preparing The Weather Station; Aligning The Dcf77 Antenna; Mounting The Weather Station - Elsner Ws1 Bedienungsanleitung

Preparing the weather station

The weather station cover with the rain sensor snaps in on the left and right
along the bottom edge (see Fig.). Remove the weather station cover. Proceed
carefully, so as not to pull off the wire connecting the PCB in the bottom part
with the rain sensor in the cover (wire with push-connector).
Push the power supply and bus connection cable through the rubber seal on the
bottom of the weather station and push the power and bus cables onto their
designated terminals.
The lead to the weather station may be no more than 30 m long. The connection
is by typical telephone cable (J-Y(ST)Y 2 × 2 × 0.8).

Aligning the DCF77 antenna

The antenna for DCF77 reception of date and time is located under the PCB in
the housing. Using the set screw (see chapter "PCB layout", No. 4), you can turn
the antenna by up to 180° in order to achieve the best alignment. You know you
are getting reception when the control LED (No. 3) blinks regularly once every
second (the blinking stops after 59 seconds). The LED stops blinking 30 minutes
after switching-on.

Mounting the weather station

Close the housing by putting the cover back over the bottom part. The cover
must snap in on the left and right with a definite "click".
