3 Function and device overview

The Homematic Wireless Weather Data Sensor is ideal for a great variety of outdoor applications. The multifunctional weather data sensor offers a wide range of applications by recording almost all relevant weather and climate data:

• temperature,
• humidity,
• wind direction,
• wind velocity,
• onset of rain,
• rainfall,
• brightness (relative) and
• hours of sunshine.

The weather data sensor transmits the data to the desired reception station via radio (e.g. to the Homematic Central Control Unit or Homematic Wireless Weather Data Center). You can monitor the current values at any time or use the recorded data to control other Homematic devices.

The sensor is equipped with bi-directional wireless technology and transmits its weather data at cyclical intervals to the reception station. The duration of each interval is between 120 and 184 s.; this is redefined after each transmission.

You have the option of putting the sensor into a quick-retrieval mode which enables the display unit to immediately request the current weather data at any point in time.

The sensor can be placed up to 300 m away from the reception station (depending on local conditions; see ""11 General information about radio operation" on page 56).

Thanks to battery operation the weather data sensor can be positioned anywhere and easily mounted.

Step 4:

• Remove the pipes from the stainless steel mast (A) from the packaging.
• Join the pipes together. Attach the previously assembled weather data sensor to the end of the pipe that is marked with a sticker.
• Place the fully assembled sensor within the potential transmission

radius (up to 300 m (typically) in the open air, with damping caused by building walls etc. taken into account). Choose a position in which it is possible for rain to fall directly into the rain sensor, but where there is no risk of inaccurate wind measurements caused by nearby buildings, trees, etc.

It may be placed in a sunny location since the temperature sensor is located in a shaded, ventilated area of the housing.

- Push the assembled stainless steel mast (A) into the ground until you are sure that the sensor will be stable.

If the weather data sensor topples over, it may cause injury or damage to vehicles and objects.

5.2 Start-up

When starting the weather data sensor for the first time, the device must be aligned so that it is pointing north to be able to define the wind direction. To do this, proceed as follows:

- Align the weathervane of the weather data sensor to the north. It is recommended to use an analogue or electronic compass for assistance.

If you need to, you can fix the weathervane in this position using a piece of double-sided adhesive tape on the housing.

• Release the cap of the main sensor (C) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pushing it downwards.
• Insert three 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries into the battery compartment (L) observing the correct polarity (as indicated by the markings).

- Briefly release the button and then press it again to finish the north orientation. The device LED (J) lights up green for confirmation. The LED lights up red if the procedure failed. In this case, please check if the device has been mounted correctly and try again afterwards.

• Remove any double-sided adhesive tape you attached to the weathervane.
• Close the housing again by pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise until it locks into place.

Afterwards, you can teach-in the weather data sensor to a wireless weather data center or to the Homematic Central Control Unit.

5.3 Teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in procedure!

To integrate the weather data sensor into your Homematic system and enable it to communicate with other Homematic devices (e.g. Homematic Weather Data Center), you must teach-in the weather data sensor first. You can teach-in the Homematic weather data sensor directly to other Homematic devices (“,5.3.1 Teaching-in directly to Homematic devices” on page 45) or to the Homematic Central Control Unit (“5.3.1 Teaching-in directly to Homematic devices” on page 45).

5.3.1 Teaching-in directly to Homematic devices

If you want to teach-in the weather data sensor to one or more Homematic devices, you must put the devices to be connected into teach-in mode.

6 Maintenance, cleaning, care and adjustment

This product does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery or cleaning the device when necessary. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any maintenance or repairs.

The weather data 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.

Only clean the product using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Make sure that no moisture will ingress into the housing. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

Check that your product is safe from a technical point of view (that the housing is not damaged, for example) on a regular basis. If you have reason to believe that it is no longer safe to operate the device, put it out of service. Remove the battery pack to safeguard the device against unintentional operation.

Safe operation may no longer be possible if the device

• shows sings of external damage,
- no longer functions,
• has been stored a longer period under unfavourable conditions or
- has been subject to severe transport conditions.

If not used for any length of time (e.g. when in storage) remove the batteries to avoid damages caused by leaking.

6.1 Cleaning the rain sensor

Depending on the location, leaves, dirt particles transported by the wind, sand, branches, etc., may get into the rain sensor's collecting funnel (G). Larger items may block the flow of rainwater. Sand can also accumulate in the counter rocker: as the amount increases, this causes the measurement results to be less accurate.

Consequently, the rain sensor must be cleaned from time to time; this must be done at least once a year, however.

• The collecting funnel (G) of the rain sensor (H) can be detached from above by turning it slightly clockwise.
• The cap of the rain sensor (H) can also be detached by turning it slightly clockwise and pushing it down.
• The rain sensor can now be detached from above and moved to the side with the cable. Remove the counter rocker.
• Clean the collecting funnel, contacts, counter rocker and drain hole

in the bottom of the housing to remove any residues.

- Place the counter rocker back in its holder. In doing so, the counter rocker magnet must be at the side facing the cable.

6.2 Adjusting the rain sensor

The rainfall measuring system is factory-set to a high degree of accuracy, so it does not usually need to be adjusted.

Adjustment will only be necessary in situations with extremely stringent requirements in terms of accuracy and can only be done in connection with a Homematic Wireless Weather Data Center.

Before beginning to adjust to the rain measuring sensor, reset any accumulated rainfall value to zero, working in the reception station's normal display mode (refer to the relevant operating manual; the entire rainfall display must be set to zero). In addition, the rainfall must be displayed in "mm" or "l/m ^2 " for adjustment purposes.

To perform precise calibration, proceed as follows:

- Slowly pour 100 ml of water into the rain sensor collecting funnel, spreading the process out over 10 minutes.

Pouring the water in quickly will distort the measurement results! Pour the water into the funnel slowly enough to ensure that no water accumulates in the funnel cone at any given point in time.

• The amount displayed should now be 6.5 l/m ^2 .
• If a different value from this is displayed, what is known as the rocker value must be recalculated as follows:

New rocker value = 6.5 x current rocker value (= 295)

Actual value (as displayed after pouring in water)

- Enter the new rocker value in the configuration menu of the reception station. This must always be entered in ml/rocker stroke. The factory setting is 295 (ml/m²) rocker stroke.

7 Brightness sensor

You can use the recorded values of the brightness sensor to control actuators in central control unit programs of the Homematic WebUI. Shutters can be opened during sunrise and closed during sunset, for example. Or you can extend the awning in strong sunlight to be protected from the sun while being on the terrace.

The recorded brightness of the brightness sensor is displayed via the WebUI of the Homematic Central Control Unit on a scale from 0-255. The higher the value, the brighter it is. The value is only for orientation and not equal to the brightness in lux.

With the chart below you can allocate the brightness value and adjust the sunshine threshold. The chart shows on the x axis the brightness in lux (lx) and on the y axis the displayed value of the Homematic Central Control Unit. Using this division you can see which brightness value (in Lux) in a scale of 0-255 is displayed by the Homematic Central Control Unit and use this information for your settings (e.g. sunshine threshold, central control unit programs, etc.).

As the brightness value can vary significantly depending on the mounting location on the alignment of the weather data sensor this chart is supposed to serve for orientation only. If you want to determine the individual brightness curve of your weather data sensor you can record a brightness chart via the Homematic WebUI. For further information, please refer to the Homematic WebUI Manual, available for download at www.homematic.com.

9 Changing the batteries

The batteries of the weather data sensor have a service life of up to 2 years (alkaline batteries). If the sensor is operated in data retrieval mode, the batteries can achieve a service life of up to approximately 1 year. If the symbol indicating that a battery is empty (☐) appears on the reception station (e.g. Homematic Central Control Unit or Homematic Wireless Weather Data Sensor) when the device is selected or if the device LED (J) briefly flashes red several times after pushing the system button (K) during system startup, please replace the batteries.

To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:

• Release the cap of the main sensor (C) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pushing it downwards.
• Remove the empty batteries from the battery compartment (L).
• Insert three 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries into the battery compartment (L) observing the correct polarity (as indicated by the markings).
• Close the housing again by pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise until it locks into place.

Contact with batteries that are dead or damaged can cause skin irritation. Use protective gloves in this case.

Never recharge standard batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.

Always replace all batteries in the device and use batteries of the same type/from the same manufacturer only. Do not mix batteries with rechargeable batteries.

Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to your local battery disposal point.

10 Restore factory settings

When the factory settings of the device are restored, all settings will be deleted.

To restore the factory settings of the weather data sensor, please proceed as follows:

• Press and hold down the device button (K) until the device LED (J) slowly starts flashing red.
• Press and hold down the device button (K) again until the device LED (J) starts flashing red faster.
• Release the device button (K) and the factory settings will be restored.
• The device LED (J) stops flashing and the weather data sensor performs a restart (LED test display: red, green, orange).

Possible error message:

The error listed below can only occur if you have taught-in the weather data sensor to a central control unit.

If the device LED (J) does not start to flash once the button has been held down but lights up continuously instead, this means the weather data sensor cannot be reset as it is taught-in to the Homematic Central Control Unit. In this case, the device has been blocked for manual resetting. To reset the weather data sensor, you need to use the "WebUI" user interface.

11 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 also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors

such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany hereby declares that the radio equipment type HM-WDS100-C6-O-2 is in compliance with the Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.eQ-3.com

11.1 Notes on rectifying malfunctions

- No reception – the distance between the transmitter and receiver is too long.

Reduce the distance between transmitter and 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. Please refer to sec. "11 General information about radio operation" on page 56 as well.

- No reception – transmitter batteries are empty.

Replace the batteries.

- No reception – the transmitter is subject to a source of interference (wireless device, wireless 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 very effectively.

- Wireless sensor interferes with other devices in the 868 MHz band.

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

Even where critical reception conditions prevail, bidirectional data transmission makes it easier to select the best possible location. To do this, the data retrieval process needs to be started at the reception station (refer to the operating manual for the reception device).

Rotate the reception station a little if necessary. If reception is poor, position it far away from electric motors, electrical machinery, television sets, computer monitors and large metal surfaces.
