Never activate buttons on your transmitter 

arbitrarily without visual contact to the sun 

shading product. Children may not play 

with this product - Remote controls or 

transmitters may not get into the hands of 

children!

IUTCCE

O

   The receiver (e.g. the radio plug receiver, 

radio tubular motor) cannot function in the 

event of a power failure. Therefore, raise the 

sun shading system early enough in case of 

an approaching storm.

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 

properly before the final installation.

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

neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception. 

Tnstallation

This device is designed for surface mounting on a building 

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.

Tmportant 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 

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

installing the device on sloped surfaces, the sensor 

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

A USB connecting cable to the alternative power 

supply during commissioning is found under the cover.

The EWFS Weather station eco enables the wireless 

control of sun shading drives and is equipped with 

sensors for brightness and wind speed. The station is 

solar powered. The device sends move commands to 

EWFS-compatible receivers.

Tntended use

The EWFS Weather station is an electronic device 

to control sun shading systems. The approval of the 

manufacturer must be obtained for uses outside of the 

purposes listed in these instructions.

Cn automatically controlled mechanism 

may begin to move unexpectedly!

 

 

Therefore, never place any objects in the area of 

movement of an automatically controlled mechanism.

 

 

Disconnect the power supply of the controlled sun 

shading products before maintaining or cleaning the 

products.
