1. Intended use
The combination weather sensor is a high-quality universal weather measuring system which
processes a large quantity of weather data and additional information.
All relevant data are transmitted to an optional base unit.
The forecasts of the base station serve only the purpose of orientation. They do not represent
an absolutely true forecast. The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for incorrect
displays, measuring values or weather forecasts or any consequences which may result from
these.
The product is intended for private use. It is not suited for medical purposes or public information.
The components of this product are not toys. Install all components in such a way that children
have no access to them.
The product is battery-operated. All external sensors transmit their data per radio to the base
station (433 MHz, range up to 100 m in open space, see chapter 10 on page 11).
Any other use than that described above may lead to damage to the product or to
other danger.
Read the complete operating manual carefully. It contains much important information
about the installation and operation.

Dear Customer, the following safety and hazard notices not only serve the protection

Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although the outdoor sensor only
emits relatively weak radio signals, these may cause interference to life-support systems. The
same can also apply in other areas.
If used correctly, the rain/wind detector is suited on the other hand to unprotected outdoor
locations.
