elsner 70900 Suntracer KNX Pro Weather Station
Description
Weather Station
The Weather Station Suntracer KNX pro with integrated shading control for the
KNX building bus sys-tem measures temperature, wind speed, wind direction,
brightness air humidity and air pressure. It recog-nises precipitation,
receives the GPS signal for time and location and cal-culates the position of
the sun (azi-muth and elevation).
Safety and operating instructions
CAUTION! Live voltage!
There are unprotected live electric components inside.
Installation and commissioning may only be handled by an electrician.
- Only operate devices if they are free from damage.
- Comply with country-specific standards, directives, specifications and provisions for electrical installation.
- Switch off voltage to the system during installation.
- The device may only be operated as a fixed-site installation, when assem-bled and after conclusion of all in-stallation and operational start-up tasks and only in the surroundings designated for it.
- Improper use, modifications to the device or failure to observe this man-ual will void any warranty and guar-antee claims.
Mounting
- Place out of reach of persons.
- Select an installation position on the building where the sensors can measure wind, rain and sunshine without hindrance.
- Do not install below construction parts from which water can still drip onto the precipitation sensor even after it has stopped raining or snowing.
- Avoid installation locations that are heated or cooled by sources of in-terference (solar radiation on buil-ding structure, heating or cold wa-ter pipes, etc.)
- Do not place near magnetic fields, transmitters and interference fields from electrical consumers (e.g. fluorescent lamps, neon signs, switching power supplies, etc.) as this may interfere with GPS reception.
Leave a distance of at least 60 cm be-low, to the sides and to the front from other elements (building struc-ture, construction parts, etc.).
Device setup
- Ring with sensors
- Ring – base connector
- Base with temperature and humidity sensor, control electronics and bus connection socket
- Threaded rods with self-locking nuts for setting the angle
- Base holder
- Mast extension
- Mast holder with fastening brackets
ATTENTION! Sensitive sensors!
- Only hold the device by the base.
- Do not mechanically load (bend) the ring and connections.
Caution Lever effect!
The connection to the KNX bus and the auxiliary voltage is via the bushing in
the base. To do this, screw the base by the base holder.
Screw the M8 plug connector on the connection cable to the connection socket
(A).
The cable can be passed through the mast extension (Fig. 5a) or out between
base and base holder (Fig. 5b). Fasten the device with the mast extension
to a vertical mast or a horizontal railing.
- Place the weather station with the base and the base holder on the mast extension.
- Align the device along the northsouth axis. The base (C) must be in the north, the ring must face south.
- For the next steps, use the enclosed fork wrenches and the circular level.
- Use the screw to fix the weather station in the base holder (B).
- Place the ring horizontally by adjusting the angle using the 3 threaded rods and the 3 nuts between the base and base holder. Then fix the base with the 3 nuts, which are located on the bottom end of the threaded rods.
- Wind can only be recorded correctly if the ring is horizontal.
Connection to KNX bus
Use the supplied junction box and terminals to connect the loose end of the connection cable to the KNX bus and the mains unit (auxiliary voltage).
| KNX: | Auxiliary voltage: |
|---|

– Black
| + Yellow
– White
Set the voltage to 24 V DC b turning the adjusting screw on the mains unit (D) fully to the left. Overvoltage protection installed on site is recommended.
Disposal
The device must be disposed of ac-cording to statutory regulations after use. Do not dispose of with house-hold rubbish!
