1 Information about these instructions

Read these instructions carefully before beginning operation with your HomeMatic components.

Keep the instructions handy for later consultation!

Please hand over the operating manual as well when you hand over the device to other persons for use.

Attention! This indicates a hazard.

Note. This section contains additional important information!

2 General information and function

The touch screen wireless weather station WDC7000 is a high-quality, extremely user-friendly universal weather measuring system that can record, process and display data from up to 8 external wireless temperature and humidity sensors, as well as from a combination sensor, over a distance of up to 300 m (open air range).

The weather sensors for inside temperature, indoor humidity and barometric pressure are already built into the weather station, so no external sensors are required.

What is exceptional about this weather station is its operating concept. It does not rely on any conventional control elements; rather, it is operated solely via a touch-sensitive, large-format screen (touch screen) and simple menu structures. It is also very easy to teach-in the weather sensors. Weather data can be retrieved from the combination sensor in real time: simply tap the relevant display field to start the data retrieval process (bi-directional wireless technology). This enables you to always have up-to-date information at your fingertips. In “live mode”, the combination sensor can also be prompted to send its measured data at 2 second intervals for 20 seconds. In this way you can track the wind direction and velocity, for example, in real time for 20 seconds.

The display can be illuminated constantly or for a specific length of time so that it remains clearly visible in almost all lighting conditions. The glass base of the device and its transparent, cutting-edge surround are also illuminated.

An integrated radio controlled clock ensures that an accurate time is displayed and that data is recorded precisely.

The weather station is also ideally suited for long-term monitoring because of the large internal memory. A total of 3000 records can be stored in the integrated memory. These records can be read out on a PC (via a USB port), where they can be clearly analysed and visualised using the “WeatherPro Edition 2007” analysing software included in the scope of supply.

Please note!

The operating manual for the "WeatherPro Edition 2007" analysing software is not included in this operating manual. A separate operating manual for the software is supplied together with the software itself.

"Weather Joe" weather indicator

A great feature of the WDC7000 is "Weather Joe", who is based on the all but forgotten idea of the "weather house", where a figure with an umbrella would come out

of the door when the weather was poor and one wearing more summery clothing would appear when the weather was good.

The figure's behaviour depends on several weather factors, so you can see at a glance what would be appropriate outdoor clothing at that particular time. Not only are the current measured values for the outside temperature, humidity, wind and rain analysed, but weather forecasting also plays a significant role. This means that "Weather Joe" is displayed in many different ways and wearing a variety of different clothes, depending on the weather conditions outside your door.

You can find a precise description of the relevant analysis criteria in Subsection 4.4 of this operating manual.

Display of time and date

- Integrated DCF-77-clock with manual adjustment option, daylight saving adjustment can be deactivated

Display of sunrise and sunset times

- Based on the individual location data entered, can be calculated in the latitude range -60^ to +60^ N

Moon phase indicator

- Displays the current moon phase: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon

Display of hours of sunshine (total or current day)

• Minimum and maximum hours per day saved, together with the time and date when they occurred
• Sun symbol when the sun is shining

Data logger function

• The data logger collects up to 3000 records at adjustable intervals; the records can then be read out using the "WeatherPro Edition 2007" analysing software via a USB interface.
• When the data logger memory is almost full, a prompt to read out the data appears in good time.

Other information

• Really easy "context-sensitive" operation using clear menu structures
• A beep confirming that an operation has been performed can be activated and deactivated
• Can either be stood up as a desktop device or mounted on a wall
• ON time for the display light can be programmed

All important weather data is shown on the display at the same time, so you do not have to do anything to the device in order to ascertain current weather conditions. Several base units can be operated in parallel, allowing data from sensors at various different locations to be displayed simultaneously.

The external sensor system of the WDC7000 uses wireless data transmission only. This means that you can stand or mount the sensors up to 300 m (depending on local conditions, see the "Range" section) away from the base station.

Start-up

• Once the power supply unit has been connected, all the segments on the display will be tested briefly (all segments displayed).
• A short beep will then be heard and the version numbers of the weather station will appear on the display.
• Next, the inside temperature and humidity values are displayed, along with the barometric pressure. The corresponding sensors are built into the base station.
• The external sensors now have to be started up.

4 Operation

Once the wireless sensors have been installed and the base unit has been started up, data from the wireless sensors does not immediately appear on the base unit's display. As every sensor has an individual serial number, each one must be registered with the base unit separately.

The advantage of this approach is that data is only recorded from sensors that have been specifically registered, not from any sensors belonging to a different, neighbouring system, for example, not even after a restart.

Please note!

If no input area of the menu line is touched for around 5 s when making entries, the device returns to the main menu automatically (and incorporates/ saves any settings that have been made). Therefore, once you have made an entry, wait until the main menu appears again. In the same way, you can also exit a menu each time you have made an adjustment. Just touch the relevant input areas lightly, do not press down on them hard. Do not use objects to press or tap the display. Once inside a menu, touching and keeping your finger on an adjustment area allows you to adjust values faster, as the system will continue to scroll through the possible options without you having to keep touching the adjustment area over and over again.

4.1 Teaching-in/Deleting external sensors

A maximum of nine BidCoS ^TM -compatible external sensors can be registered with the system.

Memory slots 1 to 8 are reserved for the sensors HM-WDS40-TH-I (IT), HM-WDS30-T-O (ITC), and HM-WDS10-TH-O (OTH) sensors.

Memory slot 9 is reserved for the HM-WDS100-C6-O combination sensor.

If there are several sensors of the WDS10, WDS30, or WDS40 types, we recommend that the batteries are first removed from all sensors in order to ensure the sensors are assigned uniquely.

Teaching-in

• Touch "CFG" in the menu line.
• The following appears:

NEXT CLEANING

ENTER

- Touch "NEXT" and the following appears:

NEXT SENSOR

ENTER

- Touch "ENTER" and the following appears:

SENSOR NO 1 ADD DEL

• Touch "SENSOR" repeatedly to select the memory slot where the desired sensor is to be saved. Please note that the HM-WDS100-C6-O can only be saved to the "COMBI-SENSOR" memory slot.
• Then select "ADD" and the following appears (example for sensor 1):

SENSOR NO 1 -- SYNC ADD DEL

- The desired sensor now needs to be taught-in. To do this, insert the batteries in the corresponding sensor and press its teach-in button. If "USED" appears in under one second, the sensor has been taught-in correctly.

Data from the HM-WDS100-C6-O appears automatically (after a maximum of 6 minutes) in the corresponding areas of the display; data from the other sensors appears as per the memory slot selected in the "OUTDOOR" display field ("Sensor" field).

Identification of assigned memory slots

Memory slots that have already been assigned are identified by "USED" after the memory slot number.

However, this label does not indicate whether the corresponding sensor is actually active or not. This will only become apparent if no data is provided or out-of-date information is supplied when the sensor is selected and the reception indicator in the "OUTDOOR" field is active.

Deleting a sensor's assignment

If necessary, a sensor's serial number can be deleted from the sensor memory.

- First proceed as described under "Teaching-in", then select the desired sensor and, instead of touching "ADD", touch the "DEL" option.

- "USED" is deleted from after the sensor number, making the memory slot available for registering a different sensor.

"SUN CAL", configuring the brightness threshold for hours of sunshine

The WDC7000 weather station works in conjunction with the WDS100-C6-O combination sensor to determine the hours of sunshine. The threshold value is set on the base station and transmitted to the combination sensor. This sensor then evaluates the data:

Brightness received at sensor greater than threshold value ☒ sun shining

Brightness received at sensor lower than threshold value ☒ sun not shining

The user can set the brightness threshold on an individual basis in order to adapt the sensor to local conditions. The threshold value should be defined as when the sun comes up or goes down so that the current brightness value can be used to calculate the threshold.

Example: After sunrise the brightness value is 131, for example. This means that the threshold value should be set to 131 so that the hours of sunshine start to be counted from that point.

Weather Joe is an animated figure that provides information on several weather factors at the same time:

Outside temperature (combination sensor only)

- Weather Joe's clothing is based on the outside temperature detected at the combination sensor.

Rain

- If the forecast function has detected rainy weather, the figure carries a closed umbrella.

- At the onset of rain, the figure carries an open umbrella.

Wind velocity

- At wind velocities above 20 km/h (moderate wind), Weather Joe's hair is blown about. If the temperature is also below 14°C, the scarf he is wearing is blown by the wind too.

Weather forecast

- The weather forecast symbols indicate the following forecasts:

Cloud and rain

Rainy

Cloud

Cloudy

Cloud and sun

区

Bright

Sun

Sunny

Wind symbol indicator (wind sock)

- The wind sock symbol in the forecast display field allows you to see at a glance if the wind is currently light, moderate or strong:

Wind sock hanging down

☒ Light wind (<10 km/h)

Wind sock half raised

☒ Moderate wind (10...20 km/h)

Immediate indicator for the onset of rain

- When the onset of rain is detected, this is reported to the base station the next time data is wirelessly transmitted and is indicated by a rain cloud in the "RAIN" field and Weather Joe's open umbrella.

Comfort indicator

- The comfort indicator (LKJ) reflects the interior climate (the temperature related to the humidity). A table of values for the display ranges can be found in the Appendix.

Trend indicator (history)

- The bar graph shows the barometric pressure, outside temperature or inside temperature trend over the last 24 hours. The individual columns do not represent absolute values; rather, they show the difference to the current measured value (0 h column). This reference point is always of a medium height (4 bars) so that the trend can be identified immediately.

Data memory

- If the data memory is almost full, the following message will appear in the menu line:

MEMORY ALMOST FULL OK

- Touch this input area to acknowledge it and read the collected data out via the PC.

Transmitting data to the combination sensor, "WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION"

- If "WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION" appears in the menu line, the weather station is transmitting data to the combination sensor, activating live mode or sending configuration data relating to hours of sunshine, for example.

This procedure can take a few minutes, during which time the weather station cannot be operated.

Temperature trend indicator

- An arrow indicating the trend will appear to the right of the temperature data in the "Indoor" and "Outdoor" display fields if the temperature has increased (arrow pointing up) or decreased (arrow pointing down) during the latest transmission interval.

Sensor status indicator

- In the outdoor sensor display field ("Outdoor"), a small reception indicator shows the status of the sensor:

Reception indicator displayed constantly ☒ Sensor is being received

correctly

Reception indicator flashing ☒ Sensor has not been received

for 40 minutes

No reception indicator displayed ☒ Sensor not available, permanently

damaged or faulty

Radio controlled clock reception

• Immediately after switch-on, the weather station attempts to receive the DCF-77 time signal in order to set the clock automatically.
• If the weather station receives the time signal, the time and date are updated automatically and a small reception indicator appears between the two items of data.
• The weather station attempts to synchronise with the DCF-77 transmitter every day at 04:00.
• If DCF-77-reception is not possible, the internal clock operates as a quartz clock.
• DCF-77-reception can be deactivated if necessary (refer to the "SYSTEM/DCF" menu).

Warning of extreme weather

- A warning symbol appears in the weather forecast display field if the barometric pressure falls sharply over a short period of time. This points to a potential gale or a storm brewing, for example.

Frost warning

- A snowflake symbol appears in the weather forecast display field if the temperature measured at the combination sensor falls below 4^ C.

5 General system information about HomeMatic

This device is a part of the HomeMatic home control system and works with the bi-directional BidCoSTM wireless protocol.

All devices are delivered in a standard configuration. The functionality of the device can also be configured with a programming device and software.

The additional functions that can be made available in this way and the supplementary functions provided by the HomeMatic system when it is combined with other components are described in the separate Configuration Instructions and in the HomeMatic System Manual.

All current technical documents and updates are provided at www.HomeMatic.com.

6 Battery replacement

Base station

If the symbol indicating that a battery is empty (i) appears on the display, all batteries need to be replaced with others of the same type as per Subsection 2.1. Always replace all 4 batteries and use only high-quality alkaline batteries. Always leave the power supply unit connected when replacing the batteries in order to avoid losing any data.

Please note!

If no power supply unit is connected, the data memory will be deleted when the batteries are replaced.

Wireless sensors

The batteries in these sensors have a service life of up to 2 years (alkaline batteries). If the symbol indicating that a battery is empty (appears in the "OUTDOOR" sensor field when the corresponding sensor is selected, the batteries need to be replaced.

Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is replaced improperly.

Used batteries are not to be disposed of with the household waste! Please dispose them at your local battery collection point!

7 Notes on rectifying malfunctions

Possible malfunctions that could prevent transmitted measured values being displayed properly:

No reception – The distance between the transmitter and the receiver is too long or too short (<1 m).

Decrease/increase the distance between the transmitter and the receiver.

No reception – Materials with good shielding properties are located between the transmitter and the receiver (thick walls, reinforced concrete, etc.).

Find another position for the transmitter or the receiver. Refer also to Section 6 ("Range").

No reception – Transmitter batteries are empty.

Replace the batteries.

No reception – The transmitter is subject to a source of interference.

(Wireless device, radio headphones/loudspeaker)

Eliminate the source of interference or find another position for the transmitter or the receiver. Often the interference is only present on a temporary basis (radio telephony) or can be eliminated very easily. If radio headphones, wireless baby monitors or other similar devices are operated at 868 MHz in your home or in the neighbourhood, for example, they are usually only switched on for a limited period of time. The majority of these devices can be moved to an interference-free frequency and a measure such as this can mask interference really effectively.

Wireless sensor interferes with other devices in the 868 MHz band

Transmissions from the wireless outdoor sensor can interfere temporarily (every 2 to 3 min for around 100 ms) with other devices working on the same channel.

Additional notes on start-up and the rectification of malfunctions

Rotate the weather station a little if necessary or, if reception is poor, position it far away from electric motors, electrical machinery, television sets, computer monitors

and large metal surfaces.

To make start-up easier you can initially position the sensors in the vicinity of the base unit (but at least 1 m away from it). This enables you to check that the sensor is transmitting data correctly.

8 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can deviate greatly from open air distances. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental influences such as humidity in the vicinity and local structures also play an important role.

eQ-3 Entwicklung GmbH hereby declares that this device conforms with the essen-tial requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC.

The full declaration of conformity is provided at www.HomeMatic.com.

9 Notes on maintenance and care

Protect the base unit from dust and damp. Only clean it using a soft, dry linen cloth; never use chemical detergents. Do not exert any pressure on the display when cleaning it.

The outdoor sensor will need to be cleaned from time to time to remove the dirt that will accumulate on it. When you do this, you should also check that the wind sensors can move easily and that the sensors are properly seated on their supports.

12 Appendix

Apparent temperature - Refer to wind chill

Dew point - Temperature point that is dependent on a specific barometric pressure, a specific temperature and a specific humidity coinciding. At this temperature point the humidity starts to condense and is deposited as a liquid (mist or vapour). If the dew point for water vapour is under 0^ C, the condensation takes the form of snow or frost.

Weather forecast - Forecast indicator using weather symbols, calculated from the rate at which the barometric pressure rises or falls (trend).

This rate of change in the barometric pressure is the decisive factor in forecasting the weather to come, with the absolute value playing only a minor role. As a general rule, rising barometric pressure indicates better weather and falling barometric pressure indicates poorer weather.

Wind chill equivalent temperature (apparent temperature) - This is a notional temperature felt by people under certain circumstances, rather than the actual measured temperature. It can be used, for example, at low temperatures (e.g. under 7°C) to indicate how people will actually feel at certain temperatures and wind velocities and wearing appropriate clothing. The conditions at which the wind chill comes in to play are when the temperature is below 33°C and the wind velocity is over 2.6 m/s. The wind chill is defined as the cooling effect felt on uncovered skin with an assumed constant skin surface temperature of 33°C.

The higher the wind velocity and the lower the actual temperature, the more pronounced the wind chill effect.

The “apparent temperature” is more or less comparable to the perceived temperature, which also takes the effect of the sun’s rays, the reflection of light by the clouds and the light wavelength, etc. into account.

Table of wind strengths (Beaufort scale)

Beaufort number	Wind velocity	Description
0	0 – 0.7 km/h	Calm
1	0.7 – 5.4 km/h	Light air
2	5.5 – 11.9 km/h	Light breeze
3	12.0 – 19.4 km/h	Gentle breeze
4	19.5 – 28.5 km/h	Moderate breeze
5	28.6 – 38.7 km/h	Fresh breeze
6	38.8 – 49.8 km/h	Strong breeze
7	49.9 – 61.7 km/h	Near gale
8	61.8 – 74.6 km/h	Gale
9	74.7 – 88.9 km/h	Severe gale

You can see here that, depending on the relationship between the temperature and the humidity, there are clearly defined ranges within which the climate is considered to be comfortable or uncomfortable. At a temperature of 25^ C, for example, humidity of 30% (e.g. due to central heating) would feel too dry and humidity of over 60% (approx.) would feel muggy.

Daylight saving adjustment - The integrated clock automatically performs a daylight saving adjustment as defined by the European Union and embodied in law in Germany in the form of the Zeitgesetz (German Time Act) of 25 July 1978.

The adjustment to daylight saving time is made on the last Sunday in March, with the clock being put forward by one hour at 02:00 CET. The adjustment back from daylight saving time is made on the last Sunday in October, with the clock being put back by one hour at 03:00 CEST.

However, as not all countries around the world follow these rules and as some of them follow different adjustment rules, the automatic adjustment can be deactivated on the WDC7000.
