INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

GENERAL WARNINGS IMPORTANT

Important safety instructions: observe these instructions – improper installation can result in serious injury.
For personal safety, it is important to observe these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
All installation procedures, connections, programming, and maintenance of the product must be performed exclusively by a qualified technician!
The sensor is not a safety device capable of eliminating damage to the awning due to strong winds (indeed, a simple power failure can prevent the awning from being automatically retracted). The sensor is rather part of an automation ca pable of protecting the awning and facilitating its use.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to atmospheric events undetected by the device’s sensors.
Do not open the device protection housing as it contains non-serviceable electrical circuits.
Never apply modifications to any part of the device. Operations other than as specified can only cause malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to the product.
Never place the device near sources of heat and never expose to naked flames. This may damage it and cause malfunctions.
The product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, nor by anyone with insufficient experience or familiarity.
Make sure that children do not play with the product.
Handle the product with care, making sure not to crush, strike or drop it.
WS and WSR only: On the power line to the system, install a device for disconnection from the power mains with a gap between contacts that assures complete disconnection in the conditions of overvolt-age category III.
WSR only : Make sure that the surface of the rain sensor is clean and clear of leaves, snow and other objects: clean it with a soft damp cloth, do not use alcohol, benzene, solvents or other agents when cleaning it.
WSR only : The rain detection sensor is heated, so heat emanating from it is not a sign of failure.
WSC only : The unit is solar-powered. The photo-voltaic cell must be exposed to sunlight throughout the day; make sure that its photosensitive surface is always clean and unobstructed by leaves, snow or other matter: clean it with a soft damp cloth, do not use alcohol, benzene, or solvents or other agents when cleaning it.
In case of conflicting readings from different sensors, the device prioritizes the conditions in the following order (from the highest to lowest priority): wind, rain, sun.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

This product is a climatic sensor with an integral radio transmitter; intended for use in automation systems for awnings, shutters, skylights, etc. with Nice tubular motors and control units. Any other use is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited! Nice declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and other than as specified in this manual. The WS and WSR versions of the sensor are mains-powered and WSC version is solar-powered. The other components are indicated in the Quick reference guide (Step 1 – fig. A and B).

Product operation is based on real-time readings of variations in wind speed, sunlight intensity, and the presence of rain (WSR only). When the climatic sensor readings exceed their thresholds (either above or below), the sensor transmits a radio signal to the motor’s automation receiver, which in turn activates an Up or Down maneuver, depending on the type of signal received (above or below the threshold).

PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS AND PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS

Read the technical specifications provided in the chapter “Product technical specifications” to check the application limits of the sensor.
(fig. 1) In favorable conditions (unobstructed field), the transmission range of the sensor is 100 m, however, since the sensor is intended to protect the awning, it is advisable to install it at most 10-20 m away from the motor. We also recommend checking that the zone is clear of other wireless devices transmitting on the same frequency, such as alarms, wire-less headsets, etc.: they can further reduce the range or even block the transmissions of the device to the motor.
Make sure that the sensor’s installation zone satisfies the following requisites:
- (fig. 2) it must allow for full and direct sunlight exposure of the sun sensor surface or solar panel; never install the product in zones subject to shade from awnings, trees, balconies, etc. or below a source of intense artificial light;
- (fig. 3) The area must ensure exposure of the wind sensor blades to the same ventilation as that applied on the sun awning to be automated;
- (fig. 4) it must permit direct exposure of the rain sensor to the rain (WSR only).
Since the sensor’s body is jointed and can be oriented as desired, it can also be installed on sloping surfaces. The tilt range is given in the Quick reference guide (Step 1 – phase 1).
Ensure that the surfaces selected for installation are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
Make sure that the sensor is protected against accidental impact.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

For installation, fix the various parts of the product in numerical order as shown in the Quick reference guide (Step 1 – fig. B). When installing WS and WSR sensors, connect the power supply (Quick reference guide – Step 1 – fig. C). Then adjust the sensor body as shown in the Quick reference guide and make sure that the wind sensor blades are horizontal (Quick reference guide – Step 1 – fig. D).

Activation of the WSC sensor
The WSC sensor is shipped in standby mode. To activate the sensor: press the B Button once, and the LED will flash orange twice, turn off, and then light up green for 2 seconds (Quick reference guide – Step 1 – fig. E).

Activation of WS/WSR sensor
To activate the sensor: turn the power supply on, and the LED will flash orange twice, turn off, then light up green for 2 seconds (Quick reference guide – Step 1 – fig. E).

Re-activation of WS/WSC/WSR sensor
During the subsequent startups, the LED flashing color is based on the selected protocol:

flashing orange – orange – red – monodirectional,
flashing orange – orange – green – bidirectional.

MEMORIZING THE SENSOR IN THE MOTOR RECEIVER
As for any other transmitter, the climatic sensor’s radio code must be memorized in the receiver of the motor it controls, so that the sensor can send wireless commands. To memorise the sensor follow the “Mode I” procedure described in the manual of the tubular mo-tor or associated receiver. Alternatively, the following memorization procedure can be used.

Caution! – Memorize only one type of transmitter: monodirectional or bidirectional. Do not mix the types.

TESTING THE SENSORS

Once the sensors have been memorized, they must be tested as follows.

Testing the sun sensor (Quick reference guide – Step 4)

Before performing the procedure, move the awning to a middle position.
To escape the procedure at any point, press the B button.

Illuminate the sun sensor with bright sunlight; if the day is very cloudy, use a lamp. The brightness of the light striking the sensor must be at least 1 klux.
Press and hold the Button for at least 1 second, release when the LED starts flashing green.
Check that, the motor lowers the awning and the green LED flashes briefly several times (= threshold exceeded).
Obscure the sun sensor with a hand or a black cloth which lets no light through, and check:
- the LED briefly flashes red and green alternately several times (= threshold not exceeded);
- the motor rises the awning.
Remove your hand or the cloth.
Press the B Button to end the procedure.

Testing the wind sensor (Quick reference guide – Step 5)

Before performing the procedure, move the awning to a middle position.
To escape the procedure at any point, press the B button.

Press and hold the Button for at least 1 second, and release when the LED starts flashing red.
Rotate the wind sensor blades and check: a) the motor must raise the awning; b) the sensor must prevent the motor from receiving any other commands (thus protecting the awning against the wind); c) the LED must flash red several times (= threshold exceeded).
Now stop the blades and check: a) the LED briefly flashes red and green alternately several times (= threshold not exceeded); b) the sensor must deactivate the protection function: send a transmitter command to the motor, the awning should respond.
Press the B Button to end the procedure.

Testing the rain sensor (Quick reference guide – Step 6)

Before performing the procedure, move the awning to a middle position.
To escape the procedure at any point, press the B button.
Warning! The rain sensor may be hot (about 45°C).

Press and hold the Button and Button for at least 2 seconds, release when the LED starts flashing orange.
Place a finger on the rain sensor, hold it there, and check: a) after 2 seconds the motor must raise the awning; b) the LED must flash orange several times (= rain detected).
Take your finger off the sensor and check: after 3 seconds the LED briefly flashes red and green alternately several times.
Press the B Button to end the procedure.

SETTING THE CLIMATIC SENSOR TRIP VALUE

You can set the “trip value” of the climatic sensors, i.e. a value above (or below) which the sensor trips and sends a wireless command to the receiver in which it is memorized.

Operation of the “Wind” threshold (fig. 5)
The wind sensor measures the wind speed in real-time; when it exceeds the threshold for at least 3 seconds, the sensor sends the “Wind over-threshold” status and suspends sending commands for other sensors. When the wind speed drops below half of the threshold for at least 4 minutes, the sensor sends the “Wind under-threshold” status. After 10 minutes (about) the sensor resumes sending other commands.

Operation of the “Rain” sensor (fig. 6)
The rain sensor operates in ON/OFF mode and has no threshold adjustment. When it starts to rain the sensor sends the “Presence of rain” status. When the rain or snow stops, the sensor sends the “Absence of rain” status.

Operation of the “Sun” threshold (fig. 7)
The sun sensor measures the brightness of the sunlight in real time; when it exceeds the threshold for at least 2 minutes, the sensor sends the “Sun over- threshold” status. When the brightness drops below half of the threshold for at least 15 minutes, the sensor sends the “Sun under-threshold” status.

Setting the “Sun” threshold (Quick reference guide – Step 7)

Press the Button once.
During the procedure, the green LED indicates the current threshold (see Table 1) every 1 second.
Press the Button to cycle to the next position.
To terminate the procedure, press the B Button or wait for the green flashing to stop.
Orange LED will indicate the saved threshold position.

Table 1 – available “Sun” thresholds

N°| LED signal| Threshold
1| 1 flash| 5 klux (default)
2| 2 flashes| 15 klux
Table 1 – available “Sun” thresholds

Setting the “Wind” threshold (Quick reference guide – Step 8)

Press the Button once.
During the procedure, the red LED indicates current threshold (see Table 2) every 1 second.
Press the Button to cycle to the next position.
To terminate the procedure, press the B Button or wait for the green flashing to stop.
Orange LED will indicate the saved threshold position.

Table 2 – available “Wind” thresholds

DIAGNOSTICS

You can enable “DIAGNOSTICS mode” at any time to check whether the weather conditions at the time are above or below the threshold values and to identify malfunctions. To enable diagnostics:

Press and hold the Button or Button for around 3 to 5 seconds, and release when the LED starts flashing orange.
Now watch the LED and check the sequence of flashes against Table 3.

Caution! – Diagnostics mode can only be used for reading signals off the LED, not for operating the awning.
Note – To check whether the device is really faulty, run the testing procedures given in chapter 5.
Note – If more than one weather condition is detected, the LED will signal them in order: wind > rain > sun.

Table 3 – LED diagnostics signals

1| 6 alternate Red/Green flashes = No thresh- olds have been exceeded
2| 3 Red flashes = The wind threshold has been exceeded
3| 3 Orange flashes = The rain has been de- tested
4| 3 Green flashes = The sun threshold has been exceeded

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS (FIG. F)
The reset procedure will restore default values of thresholds:

Press and hold the Button and Button for 9 to 11 seconds, release it when the LED starts flashing red.
The LED:
- turns RED for 10 seconds;
- turns OFF for 10 seconds;
- flashes GREEN 1 time to confirm reset.

STORING CLIMATIC SENSORS FOR LONGER PERIODS
If the Climatic Sensor Solar (DOMI WSC) device is going to be stored in a dark place – there is a need to put the device in “Ship Mode”.

To do this please perform the below procedure:

Press and hold “B” button.
Wait approx. 20 seconds. LED sequence: RED -> GREEN -> ORANGE -> GREEN -> ORANGE -> RED -> NOTHING -> RED – release immediately.
The device will not react to the “Wind” and “Sun” buttons (LEDs will not blink). Pressing the “B” button will wake up the device.

BATTERY PROTECTION

To protect the battery the WSC sensor will enter sleep mode when the battery level is too low. The LED signals a low battery level with three short red flashes. The unit may enter sleep mode if mounted in a location that does not receive sufficient exposure to light. When the unit is in sleep mode, it does not control automation
