hager TG053A Weather Station

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 location 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 position) is used to control blinds with slats based on sun tracking for up to 6 building frontages.
TG053A compact case houses all sensors, electronic data processing gear, GPS antenna and KNX bus connection.
The values measured are sent to the KNX bus as physical values (2×8 bits ou 1 bit).
Each output has communication objects indicating 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 logical inputs (such as communication objects) can be used as inputs of logical gates.

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).

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 automatically. 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 switched 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 perfect condition (no mechanical damage) immediately after unpacking it.
If damage has occurred during transportation, inform the supplier immediately

 Never start up a weather station that shows signs of damage.

If use without danger is not possible, switch off the system and protect it against an accidental restart.

Hager refuses any liability for possible changes to standards that may be made after the publication of these instructions.

Location

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 fields, transmitters or radioelectrical interference from fluorescent light tubes, neon signs, switch mode power supplies, etc.

Installation

The weather station must be installed on a wall or a vertical post.

Make sure that the weather station is horizontal.
The weather station must be at least 60 cm away from other elements (buildings, construction parts, etc.) below, at the side and front.

Installing the support

The weather station TG053A includes a support for installation on a wall or a vertical post. The support is clipped to the rear of the unit.

Two articulated supports are available as option (TG353 and TG354) for wall mounting, on post or beam.

To remove the base, unscrew the fixing screws located on right/left-hand base side using a screwdriver.

Unclip the support by pushing it downwards.
Attach the support vertically on a wall or a post.

Installation on a wall :
Apply the flat side of the support against the wall with the half-crescent facing upwards.

Installation on a post :
apply the curved side of the support on the post with the half-crescent facing downwards.

Preparing the weather station

  1. Cover with rain sensor.
  2. Clicking the cover into place.
  3. Lower part of the unit.

The cover of the weather station is clipped to the lower edge of the unit on the left and right.
Remove the cover of the weather station.

Proceed with care to avoid detaching the cable between the rain sensor built into the cover and the electronic circuit board.

Pass the power cables and the KNX bus through the rubber seals on the lower part of the weather station, then connect the auxiliary power cables and the KNX bus (+/-) to the terminals provided.

Installing the weather station
Close the unit by raising the cover on the lower part. The cover is clipped onto the lower part on the left and right. A “click” can be heard.
Check that the cover and the lower part are clipped into place !
The illustration shows the closed weather station, seen from below.

Slide the top of the unit onto the previously installed support.
The pins on the support are clipped in the rails of the unit.
Remove the weather station by pulling the unit upwards until it is unclipped from the support.

Recommendations for installation
Do not open the weather station, otherwise rain water may enter the unit.
Just a few drops of water can damage the electronics.
Make sure that the connections are correct.
Incorrect connection can destroy the weather station or any connected electronic appliances.
When installing the weather station, make sure that the temperature sensor (the small plate in the lower part of the unit) is not damaged. Take care not to damage the cable between the electronic board and the rain sensor by pulling or bending it.
The wind speed measurements and the associated switch outputs only start working 60 seconds after the station is switched on.

Maintenance

Regularly (at least twice a year) check that the weather station is clean and clean it if necessary.

Severe soiling can affect the operation of the wind sensor, provoke permanent rain signals or inhibit the sun detection function.

 For safety reasons, switch off the mains power supply before servicing or cleaning the weather station (switch off the circuit breaker).
