Safety Instructions

• Before operating with or at the device/product, read through the operating instructions.
This manual contains instructions which should be followed on mounting, start-up, and operation.
A non-observance might cause:

- failure of important functions

- Endangering of persons by electrical or mechanic effect

- Damages at objects

• Mounting, electrical connection and wiring of the device/product must be carried out only by a qualified technician
who is familiar with and observes the engineering regulations, provisions and standards applicable in each case.

• Repairs and maintenance may only be carried out by trained staff or Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG. Only
components and spare parts supplied and/or recommended by Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG should be used for
repairs.

• Electrical devices/products must be mounted and wired only in voltage-free state.

• Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG guarantees proper functioning of the device/products provided that no

modifications have been made to the mechanics, electronics or software, and that the following points are
observed:

• All information, warnings and instructions for use included in these operating instructions must be taken into
account and observed as this is essential to ensure trouble-free operation and a safe condition of the measuring
system / device / product.

• The device / product is designed for a specific application as described in these operating instructions.

• The device / product should be operated with the accessories and consumables supplied and/or recommended

by Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG .

• Recommendation: As it is possible that each measuring system / device / product under certain conditions, and
in rare cases, may also output erroneous measuring values, it is recommended to use redundant systems with
plausibility checks with security-relevant applications.

2 Application

The precipitation monitor transmits signals to determine the beginning and the end of precipitation
and the duration of the period of precipitation as required by meteorological services.
In addition, the precipitation monitor can be used to report status or to transmit control signals to
connected rain protection devices such as windows, air vents, awnings, or Venetian blinds.

3 Mode of Operation

Precipitation in the form of drizzle, rain, snow or hail is detected by means of a light barrier system
and triggers a signal. A built-in incidence-filter shall smooth the triggering of switching signals in
case of individual incidences, as for example leafs, bird droppings, insects etc. For this, a certain
number of at least n incidences should have occurred within a time-window of 50 sec. The number
of drop incidences (1…15) can be selected through the DIP-switch on the pc-board.

With the precipitation end the switching signal is reset after a selectable switch-off delay. Thanks to
the immediate evaluation of the incidences it is possible to determine precisely the beginning and
end of the precipitation period.

The instrument is equipped with a heating system for extreme weather condition. This avoids ice
and snow forming on the housing surface. In addition, the surface retains a temperature of >0° by
means of a regulated heating.

4 Installation

Please Note:

The electrical connection is to be carried out by experts only.
Please open the instrument only with dry ambient conditions.
Do not damage the exposed electronics!
