The radio control range is limited by legal regulations for 

radio systems and by structural factors. Adequate radio 

reception must be taken into consideration when planning 

the system. This is particularly important when the radio 

signal must pass through walls and ceilings. The control 

unit should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of 

metal components (steel beams, steel-reinforced concrete, 

fire door). 

 

 

Therefore, check that the receiver is functioning prop-

erly before the final installation.

Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors or 

neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception. 

Nnstallation

This device is designed for surface mounting on a build-

ing facade. It can also be mounted on a pole using the 

included cable ties. 

Included fixing materials:

 

 2 screws 4.5 x 40 mm

 

 2 dowels 6 mm

 

2 spacers for wall and ceiling installation (Fig. 2)

 

 2 steel cable ties 360 mm

 

 

Use suitable fixing materials only. Depending on the 

substructure (e.g. plastered outer insulation), other 

screws and dowels may need to be used.

 

 

Do not remove the protective cap of the wind current 

sensor until the device is fully installed.

Nmportant information on the installation location

 

 

Attach the device outdoors at a readily accessible but 

raised location.

 

 

Metal-clad buildings, domestic interference sources 

(unshielded household appliances, television sets, 

computers), supply lines and metallic objects such 

as sheet metal enclosures must have a distance of at 

least 0.5 m from the weather station.

 

 

Install the device in a position in which the wind current 

sensor is horizontal (housing inclination of 15°). When 

installing the device on sloped surfaces, the sensor 

can be positioned horizontally using the joint (Fig. 1).

 

 

When selecting an installation location, ensure that 

precipitation can fall onto the sensor surface from all 

directions without being obstructed. For example, an 

overhanging roof may shield the panel.

 

 

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 sen-

sor 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 condi-

tions as the sun shading product 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.

 

 

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 sen-

sor 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.
