1. General
The ASH 2200US radio climate sensors make it
possible to determine values for temperature and
humidity at the location of the sensor and to transmit
the data by radio to a reception station suitable for this
purpose, for example to the ELV BA 1010US. The
sensors can be flexibly mounted at different locations:
outdoors, in the green house, in the cellar, garage,
storage room and many other places. This
permits you to install a complete monitoring system
consisting of diverse locations.
Functional features:
ASH 2200US
- Freely addressable, battery operated, radio universal
temperature and humidity sensor for the temperature
range -30.0 ˚C to +70 ˚C and the humidity range 5 %
to 95 % relative humidity.
Please read these instructions fully and thoroughly
before initial commissioning; they contain informa-
tion for the correct use of this device.
Intended use
The external sensing device ASH 2200US can be used
outdoors in a temperature range of -30 ˚C to +70 ˚C and
a maximum humidity of 95 %. Please observe the
instructionsregardingthe choice of installationlocation.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for the
consequences of improper use; all rights under the
warranty will be forfeited.

2. Safety and maintenance information
- The device has no user-serviceable parts.
- Avoid extreme moisture (e.g. it should not be directly
splashed with or immersed in water), direct sunlight,
and extremely dusty environments.
- Clean the display device and the external sensor
using a dry linen cloth, which may be slightly
dampened to remove obstinate soiling. Do not use
solvents for cleaning
- The device should be kept out of reach of children. It
is not a toy!

3. Commissioning
3.1. Inserting the batteries
Remove the protective cap on the external sensor and
open the battery compartment as shown in the picture
below.
Insert two 1.5 V Mignon batteries (LR 6 / Mignon /
AAalkaline)intothebatterycompartment,ensuringthat
the polarity is
correct (see illustration), and then close the battery
compartment.
Place the protective cap back on to the stop.
CAUTION! Observe regulations for the disposal of

rubbish!
Please take exhausted batteries and recharge-

3.2. Sensor addressing
Each sensor in the weather monitoring system is
assigned an address which enables the receiver to
integrate the sensor trouble-free into the system.
The factory setting for each sensor is address 1. Eight
addresses are available (1 to 8, corresponding to the
display).
You can carry out addressing yourself using the
jumpers on the sensor circuit board.
To do that, the protective cap must first be taken off of
the sensor housing and the batteries removed.
You then remove the two screws on the back which are
onthe left and rightofthe wall holder,removethe screw
above the battery compartment, and take off the front
half of the housing. Undo

The jumpers can now be placed according to the
address table.
The black areas represent a jumper inserted at one of
the points (1, 2, 3).

3.3. Installation and dismounting of the external
sensor
The external sensor can be very easily installed on a
vertical surface using the supplied mounting base.
CAUTION!
Choose an installation location that is not exposed to
direct precipitation, direct sunlight, or is extremely
dusty! Outdoor installation under a roof overhang, for
example, would be a suitable location.

If the external sensor needs to be dismounted (e.g. to
change batteries), it is pulled out to the front.

4. Range and reception interference
The free field range (i.e. the range of the line of sight
contact between the transmitter and the receiver) is
100 m under optimum conditions. Walls and even
reinforced concrete can be penetrated, which does,
however, reduce the range.
In the event of interference, turn the display unit
slightly until it is again receiving data from the
required sensor.
A reduced range can have the following causes:
●High frequency interference of all kinds
●Buildings of all types or vegetation
●The distance of the transmitter or receiver from
conductive surfaces or objects (even to the human
body or the ground) has an effect on the radiation
characteristics and therefore the range.
●Wide band interference in built up areas can reach
levels that reduce the signal-noise ratio throughout
the frequency band which reduces the range.
●Devices working on adjacent frequencies can also
affect the receiver.
●Badly shielded PCs can radiate into the receiver and
reduce the range.
