The ViCare climate sensor has ventilation slots in the
bottom left corner to measure temperature and humid-
ity. Do not cover these ventilation slots.
Liability
No liability is accepted for loss of profit, unattained
savings, or other direct or indirect consequential losses
resulting from use of the ViCare climate sensor, the
Viessmann server or the software, or for damage
resulting from inappropriate use.
Liability is limited to typical damage arising if a funda-
mental contractual obligation is violated through slight
negligence, the fulfilment of which is essential for
proper execution of the contract.
The limitation of liability shall not apply if the damage
was caused deliberately or through gross negligence,
or if mandatory liability applies due to product liability
legislation.
The Viessmann General Terms and Conditions apply,
which are included in each current Viessmann price
list.
Viessmann accepts no liability for push notifications
and email services, which are provided by network
operators. The terms and conditions of the relevant

Intended use
Install and operate the ViCare climate sensor and the
ViCare wireless repeater as intended and only in con-
junction with the electronic control units and controllers
of the supported Viessmann heat and power genera-
tors. Also take account of the relevant installation,
service and operating instructions.
In particular, observe the current and voltage specifica-
tions for connections and hook-ups.
The ViCare climate sensor is only for use with a Viess-
mann gateway, e.g. Vitoconnect, type OPTO2.
In connection with a gateway, the measured values are
transmitted wirelessly to the gateway.
Incorrect usage of the device is prohibited and results
in an exclusion of liability. Installation, service and
operating instructions included with the product and
available online must be observed.
Note
The device is intended exclusively for domestic or
semi-domestic use, i.e. even users who have not had
any instruction are able to operate the device safely.

Depending on the type of power supply, the device can
be operated as a ViCare climate sensor or ViCare
wireless repeater.
For further information on ViCare products: See
www.vicare.info
ViCare climate sensor:
If you want to use the device as a ViCare climate sen-
sor, you have operate it with batteries. The ViCare cli-
mate sensor records the room temperature and humid-
ity, and sends the information to the Viessmann gate-
way.
The ViCare climate sensor can only be used in con-
junction with a Viessmann gateway, e.g. Vitoconnect,
type OPTO2. Standalone use is not possible.
ViCare wireless repeater:
If you want to use the device as a ViCare wireless
repeater, you have to operate it with the plug-in power
supply unit provided.
The ViCare wireless repeater increases the range for
low power radio.

■Installation only in enclosed buildings
■The installation location must be dry and free of frost.
■Distance to floor: Min. 1.5 m
■Not near windows or doors
■Not above radiators
■Not near heat sources (direct sunlight, fireplace, TV
set, etc.)
■Ensure ambient temperatures between +5 and
+40 °C.
Note
■Check the reception quality of the ViCare climate
sensor at the planned installation location.
■We recommend pairing the ViCare climate sensor
near the gateway or other ViCare components
before installation.
Wireless signal range
The range of wireless signals may be reduced by
walls, ceilings and interior fixtures. These weaken the
wireless signal, causing poor reception due to the fol-
lowing circumstances.
■On their way between transmitter and receiver, wire-
less signals are damped, e.g. by air or when pene-
trating walls.
■Wireless signals are reflected by metallic objects,
e.g. reinforcements embedded in walls, metal foil of
thermal insulation and thermal glazing with metal-
lised thermal vapour deposit.
■Wireless signals are isolated by service ducts and
lift shafts.
■Wireless signals are disrupted by devices that also
operate with high frequency signals. Maintain a dis-
tance of at least 2 m from these devices:
–Computers
–Audio and video systems
–Devices with active WiFi connection
–Electronic transformers
–Pre-ballasts
Angle of penetration
The reception quality remains best if wireless signals
hit the walls vertically.
Depending on the angle of penetration, the effective
wall thickness changes and so does the extent to
which the electromagnetic waves are damped.
