Install the device in a position in which the wind wheel 

is as close as possible to horizontal (housing inclina-

tion of 15°). When installing the device on sloped 

areas, the sensor can be positioned horizontally using 

the joint (Fig. 1).

 

 

When selecting the installation location, ensure that the 

solar panel is sufficiently supplied with sunlight. For 

example, an overhanging roof may shade the panel at 

certain times of the day. Also avoid installing it on the 

north face of buildings.

 

 

Before installing the device, consider that trees, bushes 

or parts of the building may shade the photo sensor 

during the course of the day. In this case, the sensor 

cannot deliver exact measuring values and the results 

will be incorrect. Therefore, select the installation loca-

tion carefully.

 

 

When selecting an installation location, ensure that the 

photo sensor is exposed to the same brightness condi-

tions as the sun shading system being controlled. This 

means that you need to position the photodiodes ac-

cording to the building facades being shaded. Ideally, 

the weather station is oriented in the same direction as 

the sun shading product being controlled.

 

 

Install the device in the vicinity of the sun shading 

product although not in places where the sun shading 

system affects the wind currents; otherwise, the sensor 

will not provide the correct wind evaluation. 

 

 

Separate spacers are included for wall and ceiling 

installation. They prevent cracking and deformation of 

the plastic (Fig. 2).

Additional installation information can be found in the 

documentation of your sun shading system.

Before you close the cover and screw it into 

place after installation on a wall, ceiling or 

pole, activate the WMS Weather station eco. 

To do this set the switch on the printed circuit 

board to "on" (see Fig. 4)

Clip one of the included spacers into the threaded hole 

(horizontally or vertically, Fig. 2).

 

 

Attach the weather station to a suitable substructure 

using the included screws and screw anchors as 

shown (Fig. 5).

 

 

The line must be correctly positioned in the guide 

on the back of the mounting plate to ensure it is not 

pinched during installation.

 

 

Tighten the screw on the joint.

Loosen the screw on the weather station joint.

 

 

Swing the mounting plate of the weather station up by 

90° (or by the necessary angle).

 

 

Retighten the screw on the joint.

 

 

Clip one of the included spacers into the threaded hole 

(horizontally or vertically, Fig. 2).

 

 

Attach the weather station to a suitable substructure 

using the included screws and screw anchors as 

shown (Fig. 6).
