Presentation

The weather station GPS-KNX TG053A measures 

the outdoor temperature, the wind speed and the 

brightness.

It detects rain and daylight fall. 

The weather station gets date/time and site loca-

tion data from GPS signals. It calculates also the 

exact position of the sun (Azimuth and Altitude) 

based on site co-ordinates and date/time data.  

This information (brightness level and sun posi-

tion) is used to control blinds with slats based on 

sun tracking for up to 6 building frontages. 

TG053A compact case houses all sensors, elec-

tronic data processing gear, GPS antenna and 

KNX bus connection. 
The values measured are sent to the KNX bus as 

physical values (2x8 bits ou 1 bit).

Each output has communication objects indica-

ting the measured and calculated values.

The state of outputs depends on one or more 

levels.

Thresholds can be defined by settings or the 

communication objects.
The weather station TG053A includes an annual 

clock and a weekly clock. The clock channels can 

switch the outputs using the communication 

objects.

The weekly clock controls up to four different time 

settings for each day of the week.

The annual clock can be used to define up to 

three periods in the year with two daily ON/OFF 

commands for each of them.

The switching times can be defined by settings or 

the communication objects.

The weather station also has 8 logical AND gates 

and 8 logical OR gates, each with four inputs.

All control events, time programs, and the 8 logi-

cal inputs (such as communication objects) can 

be used as inputs of logical gates.

GPS, site location, date and time 

The exact site location co-ordinates are received 

from GPS signals. This information is required to 

manage summer/winter time changes automati-

cally. On its first startup, the weather station uses 

site location and date/time data provided by ETS 

software until the first GPS signal is received. 

Depending on ETS settings, the weather station 

can process date/time information received from 

GPS or KNX bus.

Installation and startup

Only qualified technicians must install, check, 

start up and repair the appliance. Make a note of 

all the lines to be installed with the appliance swit-

ched off and protect them against risks of being 

powered up.

The weather station is designed only for the uses 

described in this user manual. Any non-compliant 

changes or breaches of the specifications in this 

user manual will render the warranty null and void.

Check that the appliance is complete and in per-

fect condition (no mechanical damage) immedia-

tely after unpacking it.

If damage has occurred during transportation, 

inform the supplier immediately.

If use without danger is not possible, switch off 

the system and protect it against an accidental 

restart.

The weather station must be used as a fixed sys-

tem. It must only be started after all the installa-

tion works have been completed and in an envi-

ronment designed for this purpose.

Hager refuses any liability for possible changes to 

standards that may be made after the publication 

of these instructions.

The output of each gate can be configured in 

1-bit or 2 x 8-bit format.

ETS software performs KNX configuration. 

ETS : 

application software (database and 

Installation Guide with descriptions available from 

the Manufacturer).

Never start up a weather station that shows 

signs of damage.

Select a clear site that allows for correct 

measurements by the wind, rain and sun sensors.
South direction is advised for correct measurement 

of brightness level.
The weather station must never be installed 

beneath structures from which water may fall onto 

the rain sensor after the end of the precipitations 

(rain or snow).
The weather station must never be placed in the 

shadow of a building or trees.
Arrange a space of at least 60 cm under the 

weather station to allow for correct wind 

measurements and to prevent snow from covering 

the sensor.
Other factors may also interfere with or affect the 

reception of the GPS signal, such as magnetic 

fi elds, transmitters or radioelectrical interference 

from fl uorescent light tubes, neon signs, switch 

mode power supplies, etc.
