Product and Applications Description
The central device of the weather station forms the
interface between the sensors and the bus.
The 4- and 8-sensor weather control units are central
switching and control systems which enable for
example the automatic adjustment of various
blinds/shutters.
Examples of these include the textile sun blind, external
shutters as well as interior motor-driven sun protection
systems such as venetian blinds or vertical blinds.
4 or 8 sensors can be connected to the central devices.
Apart from a special digital input for the wind sensor,
either 3 or 7 further analogue inputs are available for
the connection of light, rain, temperature and dusk
sensors.
The following accessories for the weather control units
must be ordered separately:
Dusk sensor 5WG1 258-3AB11
Temperature sensor 5WG1 258-3AB21
Light sensor 5WG1 258-3AB31
Rain sensor, heated 5WG1 258-3AB41
Wind sensor heated 5WG1 258-7AB02
Wind sensor heated n.w. 5WG1 258-7AB03
Wind sensor unheated n.w. 5WG1 258-7AB13
Heating transformer 5WG1 258-8AB01
Mast mounting for sensors 5WG1 258-8AB21
Application Programs
Weather control unit for 4 / 8 sensors

sun guard (shutters, venetian blinds)
protection of building parts (windows, shutters,
a.s.o.) against rain, frost and storms
winter garden control (sun heat can be used if
wanted)

V WARNING
A separate 230 V AC circuit should be used to
connect the weather control unit.
The operating voltage 230V should only be connected
at the designated terminals.
Only the sensors indicated may be used.
The sensor cables may not be laid parallel to the
power cables.
The connections to the sensors should remain non-
earthed and may not exceed 20 m in length.
The device may not be installed in the immediate
vicinity of heating systems and air conditioning
devices.
Both the central devices and the sensors should not
be installed in the vicinity of radio transmitters.
The device may be opened to connect the mains
cable and the sensors. The internal cover plate may
not be removed.
The fuse may only be replaced by a fuse of the same
type and nominal data (5x20mm 1.6AT HB).
The device may only be installed and commissioned
by an authorised electrician.
NOTE:
The controller must only ever be reset once the fault
has been repaired (replacement of a sensor).
To reset, switch off the 230V voltage supply to the
weather central controller and the heating transformer
for at least 10 minutes.

Installation and wiring
General description
The 4- and 8-sensor weather control units are surface-
mounted using screws. The housing should be
mounted on an inside wall in an accessible position.
The devices are suitable for installation in dry and damp
interior rooms. It should be ensured that there is
sufficient space available for the supply cables.
