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.

• 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!
4 - 12 021197/11/09
Remark:
In order to achieve an optimal electro-magnetic immunity (> 20 V/m) please use
shielded cable.
4.1 Mechanical Mounting
The mounting system of the instrument is designed for attachment to a mast. When mounting make
sure, that the precipitation can easily reach of the sensor field, and that the instrument, while
operating, is not exposed to strong vibrations or shocks.
Sensor field
4.2 Electrical Mounting for Precipitation with Cable Gland
To connect the instrument electrically, remove the cover with its 5 screws. The connecting
terminals and the DIP-switches for selecting the number of incidences and switch-off delays are
then accessible. The electrical connection is carried out according to the Circuit diagram. Insert the
cable from below through the screwed cable gland on the bottom of the case and connect it to the
connecting terminals and the shield connection. After the wiring – and mounting work is done, the
nuts of the screwed cable gland, and die screws of the cover are to be screwed evenly tight with
the case so that water cannot penetrate it. The fixing screws for the cover must be srewed down
with a torsional of 1 Nm to 2 Nm.

4.3 Electrical Mounting for Precipitation with Plug Connection
The electrical connection is carried out by plug in accordance with the connecting diagram.
4.3.1 Plug Mounting
Applies only to instruments with connection „plug“.
Coupling socket, Typ:Binder, Serial 423, EMC with cable clamp
Cable connection: without cable shield
1. Stringing parts on cable acc. to plan given above.
2. Stripping cable sheath 20 mm
3. Cutting uncovered shield 20 mm
4. Stripping wire 5mm.
5. Soldering wire to the insert
6. Positioning shield in cable clamp.
7. Screwing-on cable clamp.
8. Assembling remaining parts acc. to upper plan.
9. Tightening pull-relief of cable by screw-wrench (SW16 und 17).

5 Taking into Operation
After the electrical connection has been established, and the case has been screwed, the operating
voltage can be switched on. The setting of the relay output is undefined after switching on the
operating voltage and shows „no precipitation“.
6 Maintenance
The device is maintenance free.
Cleaning:
The pollution and the pollution level is dependent on the location. Therefore, we recommend the
unit be checked at appropriate intervals and cleaned if necessary.
For the cleaning should use a damp cloth without chemical cleaning agents are used.

7 Setting of Incidences and Switch-off Delay
In the factory a setting is carried out for 12 drop incidences within 50 seconds with a switchoff delay of 25 seconds.
If this setting is to be changed, the switch-off delay, and the number of drop incidences are set
through the DIP-switches acc. to the table.
