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
location. Variations to other weather services–
P
e.g. through local turbulence or areas with
build-ups of air – are possible.
Product characteristics
- Integrated KNX bus coupling and data process-
ing unit
- Integrated GPS antenna
- 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-
ic changeover for daylight savings time.
If programmed, the device receives the date
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
not require changes to be made for daylight
savings time, the Summer time off 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
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.
Scope of delivery

Information for electricians
Installation and electrical connection
Touching live parts in the installation
environment can result in an electric
shock.
The device could get damaged.
Disconnect the connecting cables before
working on the device and cover all live
parts in the area!
ç
Selecting installation location
Select the assembly location so that wind, pre-
cipitation and sun can be detected by the sensors
without impedance:
- Avoid infl uences by obstacles or shadings such
as facades, roofs or trees
- Do not install underneath construction compo-
nents that can delay precipitation from reaching
the sensor
- Avoid infl uences on the GPS signal caused by
magnetic fi elds, transmitters and interference
fi elds for electrical devices, such as fl uorescent
lamps, neon signs and switching power supply
units
- Do not mount in the vicinity of chimneys or oth-
er gas or ventilation systems
- Do not mount in the vicinity of radio transmitter
systems
- A space of at least 60 cm must be left free be-
low, to the side and to the front to guarantee
correct wind measurements and to ensure the
device does not become covered in snow
- Install on vertical walls (fi gure 2) or on a mast
(fi gure 5, right)
Select the mounting location so that the
weather station will always be accessible for
maintenance purposes.

Aligning the device
To measure the brightness accurately, align the
weather station in such way that the brightness/
twilight sensor (2) faces south.
l
Use a compass to align the device to the south
(fi gure 3).
An incorrect alignment may infl uence the mea-
sured values of the brightness sensor..
In some cases, it may be appropriate to align
the device in a direction other than south to ac-
commodate existing walls or other geographi-
cal factors.
l
Use a spirit level to align the device horizontally
(fi gure 3).

Connecting and installing the device
Observe the layout requirements for SELV
installations.
To avoid EMC interference, do not install input
cables parallel to mains cables.
The weather station is supplied complete with a
wall/mast fi xing (6). This is locked into place on the
rear of the device upon delivery (fi gure 4).
Optional holders are available for mounting the
device on walls, masts or brackets (see acces-
sories).
l
Carefully loosen the wall/mast fi xing (6) from
the detent mechanism using a screwdriver and
slide it downwards to remove (fi gure 4).
(6)
Figure 4: Loosening the wall/mast fi xing
(6) Wall/mast fi xing
l
Use two screws to attach the fi xing vertically
to a wall or use the accompanying cable ties to
attach it to a mast.
When doing so, please ensure that:
- In the case of wall mounting, the smooth side
lies against the wall and the crescent-shaped
bar (7) is at the top (fi gure 5, left).
- In the case of mast mounting, the curved side
lies against the mast and the crescent-shaped
bar (7) is at the bottom (fi gure 5, right).
The distance between the holes and the mea-
surements for aligning them can be found in
the accompanying drilling plan.
