Appendix A Battery change

Battery operated radio sensors
The batteries in these sensors have a life of up to three years (alkaline batteries).
The batteries must be changed when data are not received from the corre-
sponding sensor for more than 24 hours and there is no general and longer
lasting interference of the radio path, which can usually be recognised by the
fact that data transmission from other, neighbouring sensors has also broken
down (see Appendix C, "Interference").
The battery is changed by opening the battery compartment on the rear of the
sensor housing, removing the discharged batteries and inserting two new AA
alkaline Mignon cells in the correct polarity according to the markings in the
battery compartment.
Replace the battery compartment cover and the interface is ready for use. The
data from this sensor must appear again no later that after the radio interface
has made its rotational sensor search (see Appendix C, "Interference").
PC radio interface/weather station
If communication between the radio interface and the PC is no longer flowing
smoothly or the reception is blocked from a number of sensors, it can be in-
ferred that the batteries in the radio interface are exhausted.
A description of how to change the batteries can be found in the operating
instructions of the WS-2510 PC radio interface/the WS-2510 weather station.
Other system components do not require a battery change, as they are
powered by solar cells. Integrated batteries provide power during the hours
of darkness and periods of bad weather.
Observe correct battery polarity!
According to the German battery regulations you must return used or faulty
batteries and accumulators to us with full postage paid, or return them to local
commercial or battery collection points. Batteries and accumulators must not
be thrown away with household rubbish!
