Appendix A Changing the Batteries

Radio sensors with battery operation
All the batteries in these sensors have a working life of up to 3 years (alkali
batteries). They must be replaced when the display of the corresponding sensor
does not appear for over 24 hours and no other general, longer term interference
in the transmission path needs to be taken into account. This can generally be
determined if data transmission from other sensors located nearby is not dis-
played either (refer to Appendix C "Faults").
The batteries are changed by opening the battery compartment on the rear of
the sensor housing, removing the used batteries and inserting two new round
cell batteries of the type AA Alkaline, ensuring correct polarity according to the
markings on the compartment cover. The sensor is operational again after re-
placing the cover. The data from the sensor should reappear in the display after
the PC interface has completed its sensor polling cycle (refer to Appendix C
"Eliminating Faults").
PC radio interface
If communication between the PC interface and PC no longer operates properly
or data is not received from several sensors, it indicates that the batteries in the
PC interface are empty.
The batteries can be replaced by opening the battery compartment on the rear
side of the interface housing, removing the used batteries and inserting two new
round cell batteries of the type AA Alkaline, ensuring correct polarity according to
the markings on the compartment cover.
Other system components do not require changing the batteries because
they are powered by solar cells. Integrated batteries provide power during
periods of darkness or bad light.
Used batteries should not be disposed of in normal household waste! Dis-
pose of them at your local special waste depot or return them to your deal-
er.
