Description
The
Weather Station Suntracer KNX basic
perceives temperature, wind speed,
brightness and precipitation. All data may be used for the control of switching outputs
which depend on threshold values. The states may be linked by means of AND and OR
logic gates. The compact housing of
Suntracer KNX basic
stores the sensor system,
the evaluation electronics and the electronics of the bus connection.
Functions:
•
Brightness measurement
: The current light intensity is measured by means
of a sensor
•
Wind measurement
: The measurement of wind speed is accomplished
electronically and thus noiseless and reliable even in case of hail, snow and
minus temperature. Air swirls and up-draught in the radius of the weather
station are collected, too
•
Precipitation perception
: The surface of the sensor is heated so that only
drops and flakes are recognised as precipitation but not fog or dew. If it stops
raining or snowing, the sensor dries quickly and the precipitation message
ends
•
Temperature measurement
•
Switching outputs
for all measured and calculated values (Threshold values
can be set by parameter or via communication objects)
•
8 AND and 8 OR logic gates
with each 4 inputs. Every switching incident as
well as 8 logic inputs (in the form of communication objects) may be used as
inputs for the logic gates. The output of each gate may optionally be configured
as 1 bit or 2 x 8 bits
Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS. The
programme file
(format VD),
the data sheet and the manual can be downloaded from the Elsner Elektronik
homepage on

in the “Service” menu.
