P03/3

Weather Station

Replacement for P00 (3-wire), P01 and P02 for controls WS1, WS10, 
WS20, WS1000, WS1000 Touch, FS100 and PS8A

Description

The 

P03/3 Weather Station

 measures temperature, wind speed, brightness (eas-

tern, southern and western sun). It recognizes precipitation and receives the time
signal with a GPS receiver. Central European Time is output, daylight savings time
is adjusted automatically according to the specifications of central europe.

Die P03/3 serves as replacement for the 3-wire P00, the P01 or the P02 for conser-
vatory controls WS1, WS10, WS20, WS1000 and WS1000 Touch and for the facade
control FS100 and evaluation unit PS8A.

With all control models except WS1000 Touch a jumper must be placed on the
board of the waether station. Please refer to chapter “PCB Layout” auf Seite 2.

Functions:

Brightness measurement

 with three separate sensors for east, south and 

west. Recognition of twilight/dawn with special filters 

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

• Temperature measurement 

Heated 

precipitation sensor

 (1.2 watts): No false reports as a result of fog 

or dew. Dries quickly after precipitation has stopped

Integrated 

GPS receiver

. Output of CET (Central European Time), 

automatic adjustment of daylight savings time.

1.1. Scope of delivery

Weather station with a combination wall/pole mount

Jumper (see chapter 2.2.4.)

1.2. Technical specifications

The product conforms with the provisions of EU directives.

Installation and commissioning

Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should 
only be performed by an authorised electrician.

CAUTION!
Live voltage! 

There are unprotected live components inside the device.

• Inspect the device for damage before installation. Only put undamaged 
devices into operation. 
• Comply with the locally applicable directives, regulations and provisions 
for electrical installation. 
• Immediately take the device or system out of service and secure it against 
unintentional switch-on if risk-free operation is no longer guaranteed.

Use the device exclusively for building automation and observe the operating ins-
tructions. Improper use, modifications to the device or failure to observe the ope-
rating instructions will invalidate any warranty or guarantee claims.
Operate the device only as a fixed-site installation, i.e. only in assembled condition
and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks, and only in
the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may
occur after publication of these operating instructions.

2.1. 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 it has stopped raining or snowing. The weather station must not be shaded
by anything, such as building structures or trees. 

At least 60 cm of clearance must be left all round the weather station. This facilita-
tes correct wind speed measurement without eddies. The distance concurrently
prevents spray (raindrops hitting the device) or snow (snow penetration) from im-
pairing the measurement. It also does not allow birds to bite it.
Please take note that an extended awning does 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, (sun-
light, heating or cold water pipes).

2.2. Mounting the sensor

2.2.1. Attaching the mount

The sensor comes with a combination wall/pole mount. The mount comes adhered
by adhesive strips to the rear side of the housing. Fasten the mount vertically onto
the wall or pole. 

2.2.2. View of rear side and drill hole plan 

2.2.3. Preparing the sensor

The weather station cover with the rain sensor snaps in on the left and right along
the bottom edge (see figure). Remove the weather station cover. Proceed carefully,

Different mounting arms are available 
from Elsner Elektronik as additional, op-
tional accessories for flexible installation 
of the weather station on a wall, pole or 
beam (pictures of sensors exemplary).
Example of the use of a mounting arm: 
Due to  flexible ball joints, the sensor can 
be brought into ideal position.

Example use of the hinge arm mounting:
With the hinge arm mounting, the weat-
her station projects from beneath the 
roof overhang. Sun, wind and precipita-
tion can act upon the sensors without
