Safety instructions

WARNRN

W

 

The electrical installation must be per-

formed by a certified electrician in accord-

ance with the electrical installation regula-

tions published by the Wssociation of Ner-

man Electrical Engineers (VDE 0100) or the 

standards and regulations of the country 

in which the device is being installed. The 

specialist must observe the installation 

instructions included with the electrical 

device.

WARNRN

W

 

Nf hazard-free operation cannot be 

assumed, the device may not be commis-

sioned or must be decommissioned. 

    This 

assumption 

is 

justified,

   

   Nf  the housing or the supply lines show 

signs of damage, 

   

 

The device is no longer working.

WARNRN

W

 

Wn automatically controlled mechanism 

may begin to move unexpectedly!

 

 

Therefore, never place any objects in the area of move-

ment of an automatically controlled mechanism.

 

 

Disconnect the power supply of the controlled sun 

shading products before maintaining or cleaning the 

products.

WATNIR

C

 

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 transmit-

ters may not get into the hands of children!

ITNCE

R

   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 connection for the weather station power supply is 

found under the cover.

The EWFS Weather station plus enables the wireless con-

trol of sun shading drives and is equipped with sensors 

for brightness, wind speed and precipitation. The weather 

station is supplied with mains voltage. The device sends 

move commands to EWFS-compatible receivers.

Nntended use

The EWFS Weather station plus is an electronic device 

developed to control sun shading systems. The approval 

of the manufacturer must be obtained for uses outside of 

the purposes listed in these instructions.
