This type of confi guration is only possible with
devices of the easylink system. Easylink stands for
easy, visually supported start-up. Preconfi gured
standard functions are assigned to the in/outputs
by means of a service module.
During Easylink start-up, only one weather
station can be confi gured per installation.
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 servic-
es– 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
- Direct control of switching outputs via alarm
stages: rain alarm, frost alarm, wind alarm in 3
stages – 4, 8 or 12 m/s.
- 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
By integrating the weather station into the do-
movea visualisation, you can access enhanced
functions such as setpoint settings for con-
trolling switching outputs, logic functions and
the timer.
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 offset in minutes
should be set to zero..
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 calcu-
late wind speed correctly, cause the precipita-
tion sensor (1) to display a permanent precipita-
tion message, or prevent the brightness sensor
(2) from detecting any sunlight.

Information for electricians
Installation and electrical connection
DANGER!
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, precip-
itation 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
- Leave a minimum distance to surfaces below
the weather station of 60 cm in order to guaran-
tee correct measurement of wind and in order
to not get snowed in
- 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.
Use a compass to align the device to the south
(fi gure 3).
An incorrect alignment may infl uence the meas-
ured 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 geographical
factors.
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).
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
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 meas-
urements for aligning them can be found in the
accompanying drilling plan.

Gently pull the cover apart from the detent
mechanisms (9) at the sides and remove the
cover (8) from the bottom part of the housing
(3).
Take care when opening the weather station.
The precipitation sensor in the cover and the
printed circuit board in the bottom part of the
housing are connected by a cable.

Route the cables from the auxiliary voltage
and KNX bus through the rubber seals on the
bottom part of the weather station.
The second wire pair (yellow/white) of the KNX
bus coupling unit may be used for connection of
auxiliary voltage.
Connect the bus cable via the connecting termi-
nal (11). Be sure that the polarity is correct.
Connect auxiliary voltage to connecting termi-
nals (10).
