ABB i-bus® KNX PRODUCT OVERVIEW 3.5.7.2 Weather sensors WES/A 4.1.1 Temperature Type PT 1000 Number of temperature sensors Temperature measuring range −30 … +50 °C Resolution 0.1°C Accuracy ± 1 °C with laminar incident flow and wind speed > 2 m/s Brightness Type Silicon sensor Number of brightness sensors 4 (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)
Measured values apply to the mounting location. Differences from other weather services are possible (e.g. due to local turbulence or air accumulation zones). Note Weather Sensor Basic WES/A 4.1.1 is compatible with the ABB Weather Units from WZ/S 1.3.1.2. Note Weather Unit WZ/S 1.3.1.2 can process only three measured brightness values. The measured value from brightness sensor 4 is ignored.
ABB i-bus® KNX MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Mounting and installation Information about mounting 5.1.1 General information about mounting • Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out only by qualified electri- cians. • Ensure that water cannot penetrate into the device during transport, storage, operation, mounting, dismantling and maintenance.
ABB i-bus® KNX MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION 5.1.3 Preparatory considerations Check the following points before beginning the mounting work: • Where can the Weather Sensor be fastened to or on the building? • Can roof structures (such as exhaust pipes or chimneys) affect the Weather Sensor? •...
ABB i-bus® KNX MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Mounting on a mast 1. Lay the power supply/data cable (J-Y(ST)Y 2x2x0.8) from the Weather Unit to the Weather Sensor. Cable length ≤ 100 m. 2. Lay the power supply/data cable in or on the mast. Pay attention to proper cable routing and strain relief in compliance with the regulations.

Adapting ETS parameter assignment Note Weather Sensor Basic WES/A 4.1.1 is compatible with the ABB Weather Units from WZ/S 1.3.1.2. Weather Sensor WES/A 4.1.1 sends more accurate measured data than Weather Sensor WES/A 3.1. It can be expedient to adapt the parametrized thresholds of the Weather Unit.
• The power supply/data cable is connected to the Weather Unit. • The Weather Unit is installed and has been commissioned. Note See software information on the website → www.abb.com/knx. Putting device into operation ▶ Switch on KNX voltage. ð The Weather Sensor is ready for operation and will begin sending weather data to the Weather Unit no later than after 2 minutes.
