7. Definition of terms

Dew Point: The dew point (Dew Point) refers to the point at which the air releases water vapour in the form of fog and / or condensate. Example: if the air is cooled down constantly and the air humidity stays the same, the relative air hu- midity increases to 100 %. This means that the dew point has been reached and the cooled air contains the maximum possible water vapour at this temperature. Heat Index: The heat index (Heat Index) is the air temperature felt on the human body taking into consideration the measured air temperature and the air humidity. Wind Chill: The wind chill (Wind Chill) refers to the difference between the measured (air temperature) and the tem- perature felt on the human body, which depends on the wind speed. The wind chill is the measurement used for wind-dependant cooling of an object. Humans feel this wind chill particularly on the face. As wind chill can only be calculated for temperatures close to or under the 0 °C limit, it is mostly replaced by the heat index for higher temperatures (Heat Index).

Battery charge indicator for the rain gauge Replace the batteries as soon as appears in the display. If the batteries are weak or empty, it is im- possible to guarantee accurate measurement results. The procedure for replacing the batteries is outlined under point 10. Inserting and replacing batteries.41 GB/IE Maintenance / Troubleshooting errors in the … / Cleaning / Disposal

24.2 Rain gauge leaf filter

Remove foliage and any other objects which collect in the leaf filter of the rain gauge regularly. Only then can precise rain measurement be guaranteed.

25. Troubleshooting errors in the

measuring results WARNING! The weather station and the outside sensor contain sensitive electronic components. Radio waves transmitted e.g. from mobile telephones, walkie talkies, radios, remote controls or microwaves may influence the functionality of the weather station and the outside sensor and lead to imprecise meas- urements. It is therefore important to maintain as great a distance as possible between the weather station and the external sensor and devices which send out radio waves. Electrostatic charge can also influence the measuring results. In this case, reset the weather station and the external sensor. This is done by removing the batteries and inserting them again after approximately 5 seconds. NOTE! All saved data is lost. Obstacles such as concrete walls can also cause that the reception is disturbed. In this case, change the location (eg near a window). Please take note that the external sensor should always be set up within max. 25 meters (open space) from the base station. The specified range is the free-field range and means that no obstacle should be between the remote sensor and the base station. A “visual con- tact” between remote sensor and base station often improves the transmission. Cold (outdoor temperatures below 0°C) can reduce the battery power of the outdoor sensor and thereby negatively impair the radio transmission. Another factor that may cause harmful interference, are dead or weak batteries in the outdoor sensor. Replace them by new ones. If your weather station is not working correctly, please remove the batteries for a short while and then replace them.

Only clean the device with a damp cloth. Never immerse the weather station, wind gauge or rain gauge in water.
