1 Read before commissioning This manual is part of the device It must be stored close to the device, so people in need find it quickly. This manual must be read and understood by the people installing and operating the device. This is valid especially for the chapter safety. 1.1 Used symbols Important notice for correct operation of the device Necessary step...

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.
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...
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.
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).
0,0656 in/m Precipitation intensity 3937,008 mil/h Note: The WS10 calculate the precipitation intensity from the accumulated precipitation differences of the last 6 minutes before the measurement data request. 5.11 Precipitation Type Sampling rate Event-dependent on reaching the response threshold Response threshold...

Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them. To ensure a reliable rain radar measurement, the WS10 must be at least 8 m apart. The following tools are required for installation: • fork or ring spanner SW10...
6.1 Installation Sketch Tube (Ø 35 mm) Proposed height 2000 mm WS10 Proposed distance 500 mm Free surrounding >1000 mm To achieve a correct measurement of global radiation, make sure the WS 10 is in all directions horizontally aligned. Montage...
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
2. Connect B+ to Pin 5 of the WS10 connector Switching to the configuration mode is indicated by a short blue flashing of the status LED. As long as the WS10 is in configuration mode, this is indicated by a green flashing every 10s of the status LED.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Maintanance There is no need to regularly service the WS10. However, if there is an accumulation of dirt on the WS10 surface, especially on the glass you should clean the surface. To clean the glass you must only use water and dishwashing detergent. Don’t use any other detergent containing alcohol or any other acid.
