    4.6 Global Radiation The global radiation is measured by a pyranometer mounted in the top cover of the WS10. 4.7 Position of the sun The position of the sun is calculated by the geographical position of the weather station plus the current date and time.
  • Page 10: Uv-Index

    4.12 UV-Index The UV-Index is a standard measurement value of the strength of sunburn-producing ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV radiation is measured with an integrates sensor and the UV- Index is calculated. Note: The measured UV-Index must not be used for medical applications. Schutz Risk UV-Index...
  • Page 11: Measurement Output

    5 Measurement Output Measurements are transmitted in accordance with UMB binary protocol (Factory Settings). It is recommended to set up and poll the station with ConfigTool.NET. You can find an example of a measurement request in different protocols and a complete summary of the list of channels in the Appendix.
  • Page 12: Wind Speed

    Note: Ch. 502 wind direction is calculated from the wind direction measured by the wind sensor and the heading measured by the compass. Note: During calm wind situations the WS10 will keep the last measured wind direction. This can be adjusted in the ConfigTool.NET (see chapter Wind direction at calm winds).

  • Page 19: Connections

    To ensure the correct functionality of the WS10 the notes below concerning the place of installation must be followed: • Free sight to the sky – for the correct function of the GPS module and the precipitation measurement the WS10 must have a free sight to the sky.
  • Page 20: Fastening

    Mounting bracket Cable The WS10 is mounted on a tube in horizontal position. Make sure the tube is mounted safely at a fixed mounting point (e.g. mast, building, etc.) Put the connector (1) of the connecting cable into the connector (2) of the WS10 (3).
  • Page 21: Commissioning

    7.1 Configuration After connecting the supply voltage the WS10 will start automatically. If there is no WiFi configured, the WS10 starts in WiFi access point mode. By using the UMB- ConfigTool.NET you can now configure the WS10. Be aware, that the configuration mode is limited to 30 min.
  • Page 22: Adjustment To The Local Time Zone

    7.1.1 Adjustment to the local time zone The system time (UTC) of the WS10 is adjusted automatically by the GPS-Modul. To adjust the WS10 to the local time zone where the WS10 is installed, you need to enter the respective offset value.
  • Page 23: Manual Adjustment To The North

    7.1.3 Manual adjustment to the north In rare occasions there is a need to manually adjust the WS10 to the north. This could be the case if the WS10 is mounted close to a strong magnetic field or large steel constructions.

    Step 1: Push the red point to the geographical location of your WS10 weather station If the WS10 weather station is close to a house with a postal address, you can also find your location by adding this address The coordinates and the height above sea level is automatically generated by the map Step 2: On the next page, please add additional information.
  • Page 26: Communication Through Com1 / Rs485

    MODBUS-RTU MODBUS-ASCII UMB-ASCII 2.0 *) factory setting The change to another communication protocol will need a restart of the WS10 to take effect. 7.5.1 UMB binary UMB binary is the standard protocol used for configuration of the WS10 with the ConfigTool.NET.
  • Page 27 Measurement values are mapped to Modbus Input Registers. The range of values available is basically the same as for the UMB protocol, including different unit systems. In the interest of simple and safe integration the use of register pairs for floating point values or 32 bit integers, which is not part of the Modbus standard, has not been applied.

  • Page 29 When using the metric unit system, the first three blocks can the supply all data usually required with one request. There is no difference in the register assignment between the sub types of the WS family. If, dependent on the type, some value is not available, this will be indicated by setting the register to the error value.
