1. Intended Use

The combination weather sensor is a high-quality universal weather measuring system which is

able to process a large number of weather data and additional information.

All relevant data are transmitted to an optional base unit.

The forecasts of the basis station are to be considered orientation values. They do not represent

an absolutely accurate prognosis. The manufacturer does not take over any responsibility for

incorrect indications, measured values or weather forecasts and the consequences thereof.

This product is designed for private use and is not suitable for medical purposes or for informing

the public.

The components of this product are not a toy, they contain fragile glass and ceramic parts.

Set up all the components in such a manner that they are out of the reach of children.

The product is operated by batteries. All external sensors transmit their data to the base station

via radio in the range of 433 MHz (coverage up to 100m in the free ﬁeld).

Use other than that described above will lead to damage to the product.

Please read the complete operating instructions before use. They contain important

information for correct installation, functioning and operation.

2. Scope of Delivery

• Multipurpose sensor / combination sensor KS 200US

• Mounting rod for the multipurpose sensor

• Specially shaped aluminium part for installing the mounting rod

• Hose band clip

• Operating instructions

3. Explanation of Symbols

The symbol with the lightening in the triangle is used when your health is at risk, e.g.

through an electric shock

An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important information in these operating

instructions which must be observed without fail.

The ”hand” symbol can be found when you are to be given tips and information on

operation.

4. Features and Functions

Multipurpose Sensor

• Radio transmission of:

- wind speed

- temperature

- air humidity

5. Safety Instructions

The warranty will lapse for damage due to non-compliance with these operating

instructions. We shall not be held liable for any consequential damage or loss!

We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused

by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions. Any claim

to warranty will lapse in such cases.

Dear Customer, the following safety and risk instructions are intended not only for the

protection of your health but also for the protection of the device. Please read through the

following points attentively:

Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. The outdoor sensor does only emit

relatively weak radio signals. These radio signals could, however, lead to malfunctions in life-

supporting systems. The same may possibly apply to other areas.

The multipurpose sensor (and separately/additionally available outdoor sensors) is suitable for

operation in non-protected outdoor areas.

For safety and licensing (CE) reasons, unauthorised conversion of and/or modiﬁcations to the

product are not permitted.

Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. Plastic foil/bags and polystyrene parts

etc. could become dangerous toys for children.

Handle the product with care. It can be damaged through impact, blows or by being dropped

even from a low height.

6. Battery and Accumulator Information

• Batteries/accumulators must be kept out of the reach of children.

• Make sure that the batteries/accumulators are inserted with the correct polarity.

•Do not leave the batteries/accumulators lying around in the open; there is a risk of their being

swallowed by children or domestic animals. If swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.

• Leaking or damaged batteries/accumulators can cause burning if they come into contact with

the skin. For this reason you should use suitable protective gloves.

• Make sure that batteries/accumulators are not short-circuited or thrown into a ﬁre. There is a

risk of explosion!

• Never dismantle batteries/accumulators!

•Batteries may not be recharged. There is a risk of explosion!

• In case of longer periods of non-use (e.g. during storage) remove the inserted batteries/

accumulators to avoid damage by a leaking battery/accumulator.

• Always replace the whole set of batteries/accumulators. Do not mix batteries/accumulators

of different types/manufacturers.

• Never mix batteries with accumulators!

Please note:

The multipurpose sensor can be operated by accumulators. However, due to the

lower voltage of accumulators (accumulator = 1.2 V, battery = 1.5 V) the operating

life can be decreased. Moreover, the radio coverage will be reduced, in rare cases

even malfunctions can be caused.

Therefore, the following rule applies:

If you face any problem during the operation based on accumulators, use batteries

instead of them. We recommend you to operate the weather station, multipurpose

sensor and possibly existing outdoor sensors only with high-quality alkaline batter-

ies.

Please refer to chapter 13 for the environmental-friendly disposal of batteries

and accumulators.

7. Preparation and Start-up

Please note:

First start up all provided sensors (multipurpose sensor and possibly exist-

ing outdoor sensors) (insert batteries) before starting up the weather station

itself.

If you fail to follow this order of proceeding, it may be that the base station is

not able to identify the provided sensors!

It is principally recommended to test the base station with all its sensors (supplied multipurpose

sensor and possibly existing outdoor sensors) ﬁrst in a room, before installing the sensors

outside.

The distance between the base station and the sensors must be at least 2m to avoid

interference. Do not place the sensors side by side, but install them throughout the

area (e.g. if you have purchased several additional sensors).

If you ﬁnd out that one of the sensors is not received after the installation, you can take it for

granted that the radio reception is too weak.

You avoid complex and time-consuming troubleshooting, if you perform this ﬁrst functional test.

Start-up of the Multipurpose Sensor

• Open the housing of the multipurpose sensor. First, turn

the lower cover of the housing a little bit towards the arrow

as shown on the right (1) and then pull it carefully

downwards (2).

• There are two options to mount the sensor on a mast:

1. Own installation mast, e.g. purchased in the DIY

superstore

2. Optionally available installation mast matched to the

system (not included in the scope of delivery, is to be

ordered separately)

Fig. 1

Proceed as follows for mounting:

1. Own individual installation mast

•Screw out the two small screws at the bottom

of the multipurpose sensor a little bit.

• Insert the supplied mounting rod of 25cm from

into the multipurpose sensor the bottom in such

a way that the two holes in the mounting rod

are directly positioned under the screws.

• Then tighten the two screws carefully (screws

are to be screwed into the holes of the mounting

rod).

• The mast required must have a diameter of

between 25mm and 45mm. It can either be a

free mast or a mounting angle, e.g. for a satellite

dish.

• Position the shaped aluminium part on one

side of this mast/mounting angle and put a

hose band clip over the two parts.

• Set the short mounting rod of the sensor against the other side of the shaped aluminium part

(on the right side in Figure 2 above) and tighten the hose band clip by using a screwdriver.

2. Optionally available installation mast (not included in the scope of delivery)

If you want to drive the rod with the ﬂat tip (serves as an earth tip) into the ground by

means of a hammer, use a suited wooden clump in any case to protect the mast.

Otherwise, the upper end of the rod will be damaged (installation of the sensor mast

will not be possible any longer), guarantee will lapse!

• Assemble the single parts of the sensor mast. Plastic couplers combine the individual rods.
