10.2.6 Rain Gauge Settings
Heater mode: The device can be configured for heating in different operating modes.
Configure as ‘automatic’ in normal operating mode. You can find a precise
description of the operating modes on page 32.
Followup time precipitation type: for this time (in seconds) the detected precipitation type is
shown; to cover all events, this time must be adjusted to the poll rate.
Note: All other parameters, especially those in the ‘Rainfall calibration data’ tab‚ may only be
changed after consultation with the manufacturer, as they have a major influence on the
functioning and accuracy of the sensor.
10.2.7 Energy Management
With the button "Maximum energiesaving", the power consumption of the device is reduced
by the following action:
The ventilation of the temperature / humidity unit is switched off
All heaters are switched off
The rain sensor is not working continuously; per minute, the sensor is activated for one
second, if then precipitation is detected, it remains until the end of the event turned on,
otherwise it is deactivated after the one second again.
Note: This setting has the following restrictions:
With the fan switched off deviations in temperature and humidity measurement can occur
by solar radiation.
Winter operation is not possible in this operating mode because any icing might prevent
the correct operation of the rain sensor or wind meter.
The rain detection may be delayed up to 2 minutes. Short events are possibly not
detected. Thus, deviations in the accuracy of the precipitation quantity are possible.
For maximum energy saving, a device with version 025 or higher is required (last position
of the serial number).
