2. Preparation for use

The outdoor sensors for wind measurement, for recording rainfall, for recording
brightness and for external temperature/humidity measurement are equipped with
a solar cell and a lithium backup battery to provide power during the hours of
darkness and periods of bad weather.
To prevent the batteries from discharging fully during a long period of storage or
without light falling on the solar cells (e.g. when in the packaging), the voltage
supply for the initial startup is activated by a small magnet which has to be inserted
externally. Therefore do not insert the sensor magnet until shortly before field site
assembly of each sensor.
After activation (insertion of the magnets, or batteries for battery supplied sensors)
the sensors transmit for about 10 minutes in test mode. That means instead of the
normal 3-minute scan, they transmit during this period in a 4-second scan. This
ensures optimum reception as the reception can be controlled at the base stations
(see section 3.1.3 System settings). The last reception of the sensors is recorded at
this point. If the reception time does not change or changes only rarely, then the
reception is affected and should be improved by re-positioning the sensor.
The external temperature and humidity sensors should be addressed according to
section 2.3.5.

2.1. Insertion of magnets into the outdoor sensors

In the S 2000 A outdoor sensor and in the S 2500 H brightness sensor the magnet
for activating the system is pressed into an opening provided for it in the rear of the
housing.
The wind sensor is also activated by inserting a small magnet into the opening
provided. The magnet holder is located above the holding pipe fixing (opposite the
solar cell).
To insert the magnet in the S 2000 R rain sensor press the upper section against
the lower section and turn clockwise. On the housing cover of the electronic housing
incorporated into the funnel there is a slot for the small round magnet. The rain
sensor starts transmitting after pressing the magnet in the correct direction (red
marking in the housing) into the slot.

2.2 Preparation of the basic device and the receiver device

Preparation of the basic device consists merely of connecting the remote receiver,
the basic device and the power supply to the corresponding sockets of the voltage
distributor (power supply: round pin socket, receiver: Western Modular socket) as
well as connection of the power pack to a 230 V power supply plug.
Finally, depending on the model, mount the device using the mount provided or
hang it on a vertical wall using the eyes in the back of the housing.
