2.1.3. Weather station layout
2.1.4. Connection of the weather station
The weather station cover with the rain sensor snaps in on the left and right along
the bottom edge (see Fig.). Remove the weather station cover. Proceed carefully,
so as not to pull off the wire connecting the PCB in the bottom part with the rain
sensor in the cover (soldered cable connection in case of 230 V AC version, cable
with plug in case of 20...32 V DC version).
Push the power supply and bus connection cable through the rubber seal on the
bottom of the weather station and connect voltage and bus +/- to the provided
clamps.
For 20...32 V DC devices the connection cable must be plugged in between the co-
ver and circuit board.

2.1.6. Mounting the weather station
Close the housing by putting the cover back over the bottom part. The cover must
snap in on the left and right with a definite “click”.
DANGER!
There is a risk to life from the live voltage on a 230 V device!
•
The cover must be screwed on in operation.
To remove it, the weather station can be simply pulled upwards out of the mount,
against the resistance of the fastening.
2.2. Notes on mounting and commissioning
Do not open weather station if water (rain) might ingress: even some drops might
damage the electronic system.
Observe the correct connections. Incorrect connections may destroy the weather
station or connected electronic devices.
Please take care not to damage the temperature sensor (small blank at the bottom
part of the housing.) when mounting the weather station. Please also take care not
to break away or bend the cable connection between the blank and the rain sensor
when connecting the weather station.
The measured wind value and thus all other wind switching outputs may only be
supplied 60 seconds after the supply voltage has been connected.
After the auxiliary voltage has been applied, the device will enter an initialisation
phase lasting a few seconds. During this phase no information can be received or
sent via the bus.

Addressing of the device at the bus
The device is supplied with the bus address 15.15.255. You can program another
address into the ETS by overwriting the 15.15.255 address or by teaching via the
programming key on the circuit board inside the housing.
DANGER!
Risk to life from live voltage (mains voltage)!
•
With the 230V model, bus addressing via the programming key
should only be done by an accredited electrician.
•
Do not touch any components on the circuit board while pressing
the key.
4.
Maintenance
DANGER!
There is a risk to life from the live voltage (mains voltage)!
If you come into contact with live components in the device,
(e.g. caused also by a jet of water) there is the risk of an electric
shock with 230 V devices.
Risk of injury caused by components moved automatically!
The automatic control can start system components and place people
in danger (e.g. moving windows/awnings if a rain/wind alarm has
been triggered while cleaning).
•
Always isolate the device from the mains for servicing and cleaning
(e. g. switch off or remove the fuse).
The device must regularly be checked for dirt twice a year and cleaned if necessary.
In case of severe dirt, the sensor may not work properly anymore.
ATTENTION
The device can be damaged if water penetrates the housing.
•
Do not clean with high pressure cleaners or steam jets.
5.
Disposal
After use, the device must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with the legal
regulations. Do not dispose of it with the household waste!

With the 230V model, screw the cover
on to the underpart, to prevent unaut-
horised or accidental opening.

Push the housing from above into the
fastened mount. The bumps on the
mount must snap into the rails in the
housing.

"distance" sticker on the top of the co-
ver.
