Installation
Prior to starting the installation, check the proper function of the transmitter
and the receiver at the desired installation position.
The installation location for the weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER must be
selected in a way that the values measured for wind speed, sun intensity as
well as temperature and air humidity roughly equal the ones at the sun pro-
tection system. To ensure a correct measuring of the insolation, ON-
YX.WEATHER is to be mounted precisely at an angle of 90 degrees and
absolutely perpendicular to the facade (see Fig. 1).
Care has to be taken that at the desired mounting position a 230 V / 50 Hz
power connection is available. Extended instructions for the electrical instal-
lation can be found in the download area of our website http://www.hella.info.
1. Place the ONYX.WEATHER at the desired position on the facade.
2. Mounting material to fix ONYX.WEATHER to the facade is enclosed in
the delivery.
3. Connect the stripped mains cable to the 230 V / 50 Hz mains.
It is never ever allowed to mount the weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER in
the shade or the wind shadow of the extended sun protection unit. The wall
bracket is to be mounted in such a way that the column with the wind wheel
points vertically upwards (as shown in Fig. 1).
Updraughts or down draughts on the facade may destroy products. Up-
draughts or down draughts are not recognised by ONYX.WEATHER. This
must be observed upon the installation of ONYX.WEATHER.
