»NOTES ON DISPOSAL
As a component of a large-scale fixed installation, Thermokon products are intended to be used permanently as part of a building
or a structure at a pre-defined and dedicated location, hence the Waste Electrical and Electronic Act (WEEE) is not applicable.
However, most of the products may contain valuable materials that should be recycled and not disposed of as domestic waste.
Please note the relevant regulations for local disposal.
»GUIDELINES FOR DEVICES WITH SOLAR ENERGY STORAGE
Due to the energy-optimized EnOcean radio technology used in ”EasySens®“ wireless sensors, the devices can work without batteries and self-
charge themselves using electric energy generated by integrated solar cells. This makes the devices almost maintenance free and environmentally
sound due to not having to replace batteries.
For optimum use, the device should be mounted in a location with sufficient ambient brightness. Minimum illumination of 200 lx (artificial light or
ambient) is required for at least 3 to 4 hours each day. (The health and safety regulations at work require a minimum illumination of 500 lx for office
workplaces).
The solar cell should be mounted facing towards the window direction if possible. If the device has a temperature sensor, then even periodic direct
sun radiation should be avoided due to incorrect false temperature readings.
The mounting position should be selected so that the device will not be obstructed in the future: for example by placement areas, additional furniture
or roll-fronted cupboards.
The sensor is supplied in an operational state. If the sensor has been stored in darkness for longer periods, the internal solar energy storage will
most likely need to be recharged. This would normally happen automatically during commissioning or during initial start up in ambient light. If the
initial charge is not sufficient, the sensor will reach its full operating state up to 3 to 4 days, if the requirements for minimum illumination per day
are met. The sensor will then transmit continuously in darkness as specified f (2/3 days on factory default telegram timing). Depending on the
application it is also possible for the devices to operate in darker rooms (with brightness <100 lx) by using the battery back-up option. Batteries to
be used are listed in accessories.
The operating time when using batteries will depend on the transmission frequency as well as the component aging and the self-discharge of the
battery. Standard operating time will be 5-10 years on factory default telegram timing. Changing of the device from solar to battery operation is
done automatically by simply adding a battery to the device.
»APPLICATION NOTICE FOR HUMIDITY SENSORS
Refrain from touching the sensitive humidity sensor/element. Touching the sensitive surface will void warranty.
For standard environmental conditions re-calibration is recommended once a year to maintain the specified accuracy.
When exposed to high ambient temperature and/or high levels of humidity or presence of aggressive gases (i.e. chlorine, ozone, ammonia) the
sensor element may be affected and re-calibration may be required sooner than specified. Re-calibration and deterioration of the humidity sensor
due to environmental conditions are not subject of the general warranty.
»REMARKS TO ROOM SENSORS
Location and Accuracy of Room Sensors
The room sensor should be mounted in a suitable location for measuring accurate room temperature. The accuracy of the temperature
measurement also depends directly on the temperature dynamics of the wall. It is important, that the back plate is completely flush to the wall so
that there is sufficient circulation of air through the vents in the cover, otherwise, deviations in temperature measurement will occur due to
uncontrolled air circulation. The temperature sensor should not be covered by furniture or other objects. Mounting next to doors (due to draught)
or windows (due to colder outside wall) should be avoided.
The measuring result is influenced by the thermal characteristics of the wall. A solid concrete wall responds to thermal fluctuations within a room
in a much slower than a light-weight structure wall. Room temperature sensors installed in flush-mounted boxes have a longer response time to
thermal variations. In extreme cases they detect the radiant heat of the wall even if the air temperature in the room is lower for example. The
quicker the dynamics of the wall (temperature acceptance of the wall) or the longer the selected inquiry interval of the temperature sensor is the
smaller the deviations limited in time are.

»CONFIGURATION AND COMMISIONING
DIP 1 – WakeUp cycle / Heartbeat
The "WakeUp" time defines the interval in which the device
"wakes up" and sends a telegram if necessary (see technical
data). With every 10th WakeUp a telegram is definitely
generated.

Encrypted data transmission protects against various types of
attack, such as repeat and eavesdropping attacks or fake
telegrams.

DIP 3 – Check sum
By default, the radio transmitter uses the checksum CRC8 in
the transmitted telegrams. This has the advantage that faulty
telegrams are better verified and sorted out in critical radio
links. Radio receivers older than the TCM3xx only support
simple checksum. In this case the radio transmitter must be
changed to simple checksum. To do this, the learn button must
be pressed 5 times in succession. The simple checksum is
compatible with all receivers. If you want to change the
transmitter back to CRC8 checksum, press the learn button
three times in succession.

»FACTORY DEFAULT – SHIPPING MODE
After delivery the room operating unit might be in default shipping mode, in this case press the learn button (<1 second) at the rear of
the device [Signal telegramm will be send. SIG -> 0x0F // shipping mode deacticvated].
For further shipment, it is possible to set the room operating unit back in default shipping mode. In this case the learn button must be
pressed for >3sec [Signal telegramm will be send, SIG -> 0x0E // shipping mode activated].
In order to assure a correct evaluation of the measured values by the receiver, it is necessary to have the devices learned in by the receiver. This
is done automatically by means of a “learn button” at the sensor or manually by input of the 32bit sensor ID and a special “learning procedure”
between sender and receiver. The respective details are described in the corresponding software documentation of the receiver.
The sensor is supplied in an operational status. Probably, the internal solar energy storage must be recharged after a longer storage of the radio
sensors in darkness. Basically, the recharging process is done automatically during the first operating hours in daylight. For this purpose, please
refer to the remarks “Guidelines for Devices with Solar Energy Storage”.
»BACK UP BATTERY
The device is primarily supplied from the internal energy storage. An inserted battery supports and recharges the internal energy storage. Mignon
AA 1.5V (alkaline manganese) or LS 14500 AA 3.6V (lithium battery) can be used. Insert the battery correctly into the battery compartment as
indicated.
»CRC8 CHECKSUM
By default, the radio transmitter uses the checksum CRC8 in its telegrams. This has the advantage that faulty telegrams can be better verified and
sorted out on critical radio ranges. Radio receivers older than the TCM3xx only support a simple checksum. In this case, the radio transmitter must
be set to simple checksum. To do this, the teach-in button must be pressed 5x consecutively following. The simple checksum is compatible with
all receivers. If the transmitter is to be reset to CRC8 checksum, then the learn button must be pressed 3x consecutively.
»ENERGY STATUS (SIGNAL TELEGRAM)
The device is primarily supplied from the internal energy storage. An inserted battery supports and recharges the internal energy storage.
If the energy state is low, an additional signal telegram (SIG) - [06 01] is sent every 2nd transmission interval. Ensure sufficient ambient brightness,
change the battery or insert a battery for support due to insufficient ambient brightness.
If the energy state reaches a critical level, an additional signal telegram (SIG) - [06 00] is sent out 15 times with each transmission interval. After
the last transmission interval, the device falls into the shipping mode to prevent the device from irreversible damage to the energy storage by deep
discharge.
The device can now only be retrieved from the shipping mode by pressing the learn button.
Please recharge the device for a long time in sufficient ambient light or via the optionally available programming interface (see accessories), or
insert a new battery.
If the energy status is good after awakening from the shipping mode, an additional signal telegram with the energy state 100% is transmitted with
the respective first 3 transmission intervals (SIG) - [06 64].
Signal telegrams (SIG) can be received with an STC-Ethernet and evaluated by the superior control unit (BMS).
