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 values and the results will be 

incorrect. Therefore, select the installation location 

carefully.

 

 

When selecting an installation location, ensure that 

the photo sensor is exposed to the same brightness 

conditions as the sun shading product being 

controlled. This means that you need to position the 

photo diodes according to the building facades being 

shaded. Ideally, the weather station is oriented in the 

same direction as the sun shading product being 

controlled.

 

 

Mount the device in the vicinity of the sun shading 

product although not in places where the sun shading 

product affects the wind currents; otherwise, the sensor 

will not provide correct wind readings. 

 

 

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 product.

Clip one of the included spacers in the threaded hole 

(horizontally or vertically, Fig. 2).

 

 

Attach the weather station to a suitable substructure 

using the accompanying screws and dowels as shown 

(Fig. 4).  

The USB 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).

 

 

Tighten the screw on the joint.

 

 

Clip one of the included spacers in the threaded hole 

(horizontally or vertically, Fig. 2).

 

 

Attach the weather station to a suitable substructure 

using the included screws and dowels as shown (Fig. 5).  

The USB line must be correctly positioned in the guide 

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

pinched during installation.
