5 Description

Weather Station Suntracer KNX-GPS • Status: 05.06.2018 • Errors excepted. Subject to technical changes.

1. Description

The Weather Station Suntracer KNX-GPS measures temperature, wind speed and

brightness. It recognises precipitation and receives the GPS signal for time and loca-

tion. In addition, using location coordinates and the time, it calculates the exact posi-

tion of the sun (azimuth and elevation).

All values can be used for the control of threshold value-dependent switching outputs.

States can be linked via AND logic gates and OR logic gates. The compact housing of

the Suntracer KNX-GPS accommodates the sensors, evaluation circuits and bus-

coupling electronics.

Functions:

•Brightness and position of the sun: The current light intensity is measured

by a sensor. In addition the Suntracer KNX-GPS calculates the position of the

sun (azimuth and elevation) using time and location

•Shade control for up to 6 facades with slat and shadow edge tracking

•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

•Precipitation recognition: The sensor surface is heated, so that only drops

and flakes are recognised as precipitation, but not mist or dew. When the rain

or snow stops, the sensor is soon dry again and the precipitation warning ends

•Temperature measurement

•Weekly and calendar time switch: The weather station receives the time

and date from the integrated GPS receiver. The weekly time switch switches up

to 4 different periods per day. With the calendar time switch up to 3 additional

time periods can be defined, in which up to 2 On/Off switches take place. The

switching outputs can be used as communications objects. The switch times

are set via parameters.

•Threshold values can be adjusted per parameter or via communication

objects

•8 AND and 8 OR logic gates with 4 for each input. All switching events as

well as 16 logic inputs (in the form of communications objects) can be used as

inputs for the logic gates. The output of each gate can be optionally configured

as 1-bit or 2 x 8-bit

Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS. The product file can be down-

loaded from the Elsner Elektronik website on www.elsner-elektronik.de in the “Ser-

vice” menu.

7 Installation and commissioning

Weather Station Suntracer KNX-GPS • Status: 05.06.2018 • Errors excepted. Subject to technical changes.

2. Installation and commissioning

2.1. Installation notes

Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should

only be performed by an electrician.

CAUTION!

Live voltage!

There are unprotected live components inside the device.

• National legal regulations are to be followed.

• Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take

precautions against accidental switching on.

• Do not use the device if it is damaged.

• Take the device or system out of service and secure it against

unintentional use, if it can be assumed, that risk-free operation is no

longer guaranteed.

The device is only to be used for its intended purpose. Any improper modification or

failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and all warranty and guarantee

claims.

After unpacking the device, check it immediately for possible mechanical damage. If it

has been damaged in transport, inform the supplier immediately.

The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when assem-

bled 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.

2.1.1. Installation position

Choose an installation position in the building where wind, rain and sun can be meas-

ured 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 facilitates

correct wind speed measurement without eddies. The distance concurrently prevents

spray (raindrops hitting the device) or snow (snow penetration) from impairing 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.

8 Installation and commissioning

Weather Station Suntracer KNX-GPS • Status: 05.06.2018 • Errors excepted. Subject to technical changes.

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). Temperature variations from such sources of inter-

ference must be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure the specified accuracy of the

sensor (temperature offset).

Magnetic fields, transmitters and interfering fields from electricity consumers (e.g. flu-

orescent lamps, neon signs, switched-mode power supplies etc.) can interfere with or

even cut out reception of the GPS signal.

Fig. 1

There must be at least 60 cm of space below,

to the sides and in front of the weather station

left from other elements (structures, con-

struction parts, etc.).

The weather station must be mounted on a

vertical wall (or a pole).
