General information

WMS Wind sensor
The WMS Wind sensor is designed for use with ter-
race awnings. The wind sensor is mounted on the drop
profile and evaluates the movements of the awning. In
high winds, the sensor sends a signal to the WMS Plug
receiver, which then retracts the awning. In awnings with a
valance roller blind, the valance is retracted first, and then
the awning.
The WMS Wind sensor is combined with a WMS Plug
receiver at the factory. The wind sensor is not visible in the
WMS radio network and communicates directly with the
plug receiver.
Various packages are available at the factory that fit the
projection of the awning (length when extended). Prefabri-
cated packages with the necessary number of wind sen-
sors and plug receivers are also available for awnings with
one or two valance roller blinds.
The awning can also be controlled by additional sensors
(e.g. photo, precipitation) in parallel to the wind sensor.
Intended use
The WMS Wind sensor was developed to control sun
shading systems. The approval of the manufacturer must
be obtained for uses outside of the purposes listed in
these instructions.

AUTION
Never activate buttons on your transmitter
arbitrarily without visual contact to the sun
shading product. Children may not play with
this product - remote controls or transmitters
may not get into the hands of children!
Carry out the following steps in the sequence given to
ensure problem-free operation:
Please read these instructions carefully
Execute the necessary installation work with the system
in a de-energised state.
Take the wind sensor into service as described below
Check that the system is functioning correctly
Installation
The WMS Wind sensor is mounted on the drop profile of
the terrace awning. The wind sensor may not be exposed
to direct sunlight. When using multiple WMS Wind sen-
sors, the distance between the sensors must be at least
0.3 m!
If the awning is delivered with the WMS, the mounting
plate for the wind sensor is preinstalled.
The "Mounting information" section contains the neces-
sary figures and instructions for your awning type.
Have the small parts needed to attach the mounting
plate ready.
De-energise the entire sun shading control system.
Screw the mounting plate of the wind sensor onto the
drop profile of the awning as shown in the figure. Note
also the additional mounting information in the table.
C
AUTION
If your awning has the minimum unit width
of the corresponding type (see the table),
an additional arm stop is necessary (not
included). First mount the arm stop and then
the wind sensor to prevent the articulated
arms from pushing off the wind sensor when
the awning is closed.
