Safety instructions

Electrical equipment may only be installed and
assembled by a qualifi ed electrician. Always
follow the relevant accident prevention regula-
tions.
Failure to comply with these installation in-
structions may result in damage to the device,
fi re or other hazards.
When installing and laying cables, always com-
ply with the applicable regulations and stan-
dards for SELV electrical circuits.
These instructions are an integral component
of the product and must be retained by the end
user.

Function
System information
This device is a product of the KNX system and
corresponds to the KNX guidelines. Detailed
specialised knowledge obtained from KNX training
courses
is required for understanding. The planning, instal-
lation and commissioning are carried out with the
help of KNX-certifi ed software.
System start-up
The function of the device is software-dependent.
The software is to be taken from the product
database. You can fi nd the latest version of the
product database, technical descriptions as well
as conversion and additional support programmes
on our website.
Easy start-up
The function of the device is confi guration-depen-
dent. The confi guration can also be done using
devices developed specially for simple setting and
start-up.
This type of confi guration is only possible with
devices of the easy system. Easy stands for easy,
visually supported start-up. Preconfi gured stan-
dard functions are assigned to the in/outputs by
means of a service module.
Correct use
- Measurement and evaluation of the weather
data: precipitation, temperature, wind speed,
twilight and brightness
- Horizontal installation on the outside of build-
ings (fi gure 3), preferably in the roof and facade
area
The measured values apply to the installation
P
location. Variations to other weather services–
e.g. through local turbulence or areas with
z
build-ups of air – are possible.
Product characteristics
(1)
- Integrated KNX bus coupling and data process-
ing unit
- Integrated GPS antenna
(2)
- Command for ON/OFF switch outputs :
• an output for day/night information with an
adjustable threshold of 5 to 50 lux;
• alarm outputs: 1 rain alarm, 1 temperature
alarm with an adjustable threshold of -20°C to +
50°C and 3 wind alarms that can be adjusted
from 10 to 100 km/h.
- Reception of date, time and location data (in-
stallation location) via GPS signal
- convenient shade and heat protection functions
(with position tracking and horizontal sun track-
ing) for up to four building facades through the
use of a brightness sensor and accurate solar
positioning calculations
GPS data, date, time
The date, time and exact location coordinates
of the weather station are received via the GPS
signal. Date and time can also be received via
the KNX bus and may be used as master or slave
depending on ETS programming.
This information is required to control the automat-
(4)
ic changeover for daylight savings time.
If programmed, the device receives the date
P
and time during fi rst start-up via the KNX bus
until the fi rst GPS signal is received.
If the device is operated in a country that does
P
not require changes to be made for daylight
savings time, the Summer time o set in min-
utes should be set to zero..
Simulation function (only in ETS)
Only available using the ETS confi guration. It tests
the product programming independently of weath-
er conditions. It uses dedicated KNX objects to
simulate weather conditions and solar positioning.
This simulation checks that the alarm is triggered
when the thresholds are exceeded and that the
heat protection, collection and shade functions
work.
Maintaining the device
The weather station should be checked for soiling
at regular intervals – at least twice a year – and
cleaned if necessary.
Heavy soiling can make it impossible to
P
calculate wind speed correctly, cause the
precipitation sensor (1) to display a permanent
precipitation message, or prevent the bright-
ness sensor (2) from detecting any sunlight.
