  1.  Description 

 

The Weatherstation 

KNX WTS-GPS

 measures temperature, 

wind speed and brightness. It recognises precipitation and 

receives a GPS signal for time and location. In addition, us-

ing location coordinates and the time, it calculates the exact 

position of the sun (azimuth and elevation).

All values can be used for the control of threshold value-

dependent switching outputs. States can be linked via AND 

logic gates and OR logic gates. The compact housing of

the 

KNX WTS-GPS 

includes the sensors, evaluation circuits 

and buscoupling electronics.

Installation and Operating Instruction

2. Functions

•  Brightness and position of the sun: The current light intensity 

is measured by a sensor. In addition the 

KNX WTS-GPS

 

calculates the position of the sun (azimuth and elevation) 

using time and location

•  Shade control for up to 6 facades with slat and shadow 

edge tracking 

•  Wind measurement: The wind strength measurement takes 

place electronically and thus noiselessly and reliably, even 

during hail, snow and sub-zero temperatures. Even turbulent 

air and anabatic winds in the vicinity of the weather station 

are recorded

•  Precipitation recognition: The sensor surface is heated, so 

that only drops and flakes are recognised as precipitation, 

but not mist or dew. When the rain or snow stops, the sensor 

is soon dry again and the precipitation warning ends

• Temperature measurement
•  Weekly and calendar time switch: The weather station 

receives the time and date from the integrated GPS receiver. 

The weekly time switch switches up to 4 different periods per 

day. 

•  With the calendar time switch up to 3 additional time periods 

can be defined, in which up to 2 On/Off switches take 

place. The switching outputs can be used as communications 

objects. The switch times are set via parameters.

•  Switching outputs for all measured and calculated values 

(threshold values can be set via parameters or communica-

tions objects)

•   8 AND and 8 OR logic gates with each 4 inputs. All 

switching events as well as 16 logic inputs (in the form of 

communications objects) can be used as inputs for the logic 

gates. The output of each gate can be optionally configured 

as 1-bit or 2 x 8-bit

3. Installation and Commissioning

!

  

Installation, inspection, commissioning and trouble-

shooting of the device must only be carried out by a 

competent electrician.

Disconnect all lines to be assembled, and take safety precau-

tions against accidental switch-on.
The device is exclusively intended for appropriate use. With 

each inappropriate change or non-observance of the instruc-

tions for use, any warranty or guarantee claim will be void.
After unpacking the device, check immediately for any 

mechanical damages. In case of transport damage, this must 

immediately notified to the supplier.

  

!

  If damaged, the device must not be put into operation.

If an operation without risk may supposedly not be guaranteed, 

the device must be put out of operation and be secured against 

accidental operation.
The device must only be operated as stationary system, i.e. 

only in a fitted state and after completion of all installation and 

start-up works, and only in the environment intended for this 

purpose.

4. Installation position

Choose an installation position in the building where wind, 

rain and sun can be measured unhindered by the sensors. The 

weather station must not be installed underneath any structural 

parts from which water can still drip onto the rain sensor after 

ithas stopped raining or snowing. The weather station must not 

be shaded by anything,such as building structures or trees. 
There must be at least 60 cm of free space underneath the 

weather station to allow it to measure the wind correctly and to 

prevent it from being snowed in when it snows. Please ensure 

that extended awnings do not shade the device from sun and 

wind.
Temperature measurements can also be affected by external 

influences such as by warming or cooling of the building 

structure on which the sensor is mounted, (sunlight, heating or 

cold water pipes). Temperature variations from such sources of 

interference must be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure the 

specified accuracy of the sensor (temperature offset). 
Magnetic fields, transmitters and interfering fields from  

electricity consumers (e.g. fluorescent lamps, neon signs, 

switched-mode power supplies etc.) can interfere with or even 

cut out reception of the GPS signal.

Horizontal

The weather station must be mounted in the horizontal 

transverse direction (horizontally).

5. Attaching the mount

The weather station comes with a combination wall/pole 

mount. The mount comes adhered by adhesive strips to the rear 

side of the housing.
Fasten the holder vertically to the wall or pole.

The weather station lid with the rain sensor latches into place 

on the lower edge to the right and left (see figure). Remove the 

lid from the weather station. Proceed carefully to avoid tearing 

off the cable connection between the circuit board in the lower 

section and the rain sensor in the lid (cable with plug).
