The user can set the brightness threshold on an individual basis in order to adapt
the sensor to local conditions. The threshold value should be defined as when the
sun comes up or goes down so that the current brightness value can be used to
calculate the threshold.
Example: After sunrise the brightness value is 131, for example. This means that the
threshold value should be set to 131 so that the hours of sunshine start to be coun-
ted from that point.
- Select the "SYSTEM" menu then the "SUN CAL" option (via BEEP, DCF, DST,
INTERVAL, ALTITUDE and RAIN CAL) and the following appears:
SUN CAL
- Touch "ENTER" and the following appears:
SUN CAL
- Touch "+" or "-" to set the threshold value. The setting range runs from 0 to 255.
- Wait for a few seconds. The device will then return to normal mode.

It is not possible to directly convert this value into the lux unit of luminance.
„STORM WARNING", threshold for activating the storm warning
The storm warning is activated if the air pressure drops by a predefined value (or more) within
one hour. The minimum value is specified in hPa (Hectopascals) and can be configured as
follows:
- Select the „SYSTEM" menu then the „STORM WARNING" option (via BEEP, DCF, DST, INTERVAL,
ALTITUDE, RAIN CAL and SUN CAL) and the following appears:
STORM WARNING
- Touch „ENTER" and the following appears:
STORM WARNING
- Touch the „HPA" buttons to reduce the value or touch the numbers to increase the threshold.
