Changing the wind speed limits (specialist 

dealers only)

AUTION

C

 

Changing these settings may impair the 

safety of the unit or reduce its effectiveness. 

It is better to consult a qualified specialist 

if you are not sure about the effects of a 

change.

For your sun shading product to be protected properly, the 

limit value above which a wind alarm is triggered needs to 

be set for that particular product (type, width, projection, 

etc.).

 

 

Set the limit values as required for your system (to the 

most wind-sensitive product in the respective channel).

How to change the limit values using a WMS 

central transmitter is described in the operating 

instructions of the WMS central transmitter. 

Changing the wind speed limits with a WMS hand-held 

transmitter comfort

The actual wind speed values in m/s represented by the 

WMS hand-held transmitter comfort display are shown in 

the tables in the previous section.

Button/

display

Action/result

The wind speed limit can only be changed if the WMS 

Plug receiver was first learned into the WMS hand-held 

transmitter comfort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select the product type and channel that 

you wish to parameterise.

e.g. 

 

The LED below the channel number lights 

up 

 

 

Press the mode button with a pointed 

object until 

 lights up and mode 0 is 

selected.

The mode button must be pressed 

before the WMS hand-held trans-

mitter comfort returns to sleep 

mode.  

If you press the mode button for 

too long and a higher mode is 

displayed: Release the button and 

press and hold it again; the pro-

cess restarts at 0.

Briefly press the learn button to activate 

the mode.

    

 

The LED above the number 0 briefly lights 

up in green

 

The sun control is displayed automatically.

 

 

Press the info button repeatedly until the 

symbol for the wind monitoring lights up.

 

The LED below the control symbol shows 

the state of the control function.

Action/result

e.g. 

       ...

 

The parameter value of the wind monitor-

ing is displayed in the upper row of LEDs 

(here, limit value 2).

 

RED:   

 Value 0; the control function is 

off

 

GREEN:   Values 1 to 9

 

FLASHES:  Multiple receivers with differ-

ent limit values in the channel. 

The value of the first receiver is 

displayed.

 

 

Use the arrow keys (

 + 

 light up) to 

change the parameter value.

e.g. 

       ...

 

The upper row of LEDs shows how the 

value changes (new value = 1)

 

 

Press the button 

 

The transmission LED 

 lights up for 2 

seconds 

 

GREEN:   The parameter value was saved 

in all receivers of the channel

 

RED:   

 Not all receivers could be 

reached; press the 

 button 

again.

 

 

Leave the dealer mode with the mode but-

ton (

 is no longer lit)

Cleaning

 

 

Photo sensors or solar panels must always be clean 

to avoid incorrect measuring values and to ensure 

operating reliability. The device should occasionally be 

checked for soiling (e.g. bird droppings) and cleaned 

carefully. Standard household cleaners may be used. 

Do not use solvents.

 

 

In snowfall, check daily that the solar panel and pho-

todiodes are free of snow. A snow-covered weather 

station may fail to function properly. If the energy in the 

buffer is depleted, the weather station fails completely. 

It resumes normal operation after it is recharged via 

the solar panel.

 

 

The weather station may ice over and the wind wheel 

may freeze up in extreme weather conditions. To avoid 

wind damage, take your sun shading system out of 

operation until wind monitoring can be resumed.

 

 

Never remove firmly attached layers of ice and snow. 

Scratching, heat and chemical antifreeze agents may 

damage the weather station.
