2 Application

The brightness transmitter serves for the acquisition of sun position-dependent intensities of the
daylights. The physical measuring values are output as light-proportional voltages or currents, and are
used, for ex. for sun position-dependent control of shading devices, heating- and irrigation plants.

 The measuring value “brightness” of the model 7.1414.60.0xx is acquired by eight independent

sensors (photo diodes) which are arranged in 45°-segments (North, NE, East, SE, South, SW,
West, NW).

 The measuring value “brightness” of the model 7.1414.61.0xx is acquired by three independent

sensors (photo diodes) which are arranged in 90°-segments (East, South, West).

3 Mode of Operation

Brightness Transmitter 7.1414.60.0xx :
By means of eight sensors (photo diodes), and the connected electronics the incident light is
transformed into eight proportional output values, which are linear to the brightness. Each electrical
output corresponds to a sector of 45° degrees. The sectors are centrally related to the directions.

1. Sector: North = 337,5° - 22,5°

2. Sector: NE = 22,5° - 67,5°

3. Sector: East = 67,5° - 112,5°

4. Sector: SE = 112,5° - 157,5°

5. Sector: South = 157,5° - 202,5°

6. Sector: SW = 202,5° - 247,5°

7. Sector: West = 247,5° - 292,5°

8. Sector: NW = 292,5° - 337,5°

4 - 14 021505/04/11

Brightness Transmitter 7.1414.61.0xx :
By means of three sensors (photo diodes), and the connected electronics the incident light is
transformed into eight proportional output values, which are linear to the brightness. Each electrical
output corresponds to a sector of 90° degrees. The sectors are centrally related to the directions

1. Sector: East = 45° - 135°

2. Sector: South = 135° - 225°

3. Sector: West = 225° - 315°

Remark:

The sensors (photodiodes) acquire the brightness related to a vertical surface.

In order to avoid a possible dewing the brightness transmitters are equipped with a
heating device.

Note: for Brightness Transmitter with voltage output 7.1414.6x.000 :

A parallel connection of the outputs is possible. Thereby, free selectable acquisition
ranges can be generated by more than one direction elements (for ex. monitoring
ranges from N+NE+E). The highest value is delivered at the shared output.

4 Installation

Remark:

When mounting the instrument, please take into consideration that the sensor
valuates also reflected light, and accumulates it to the direct incident sun light. At
locations with reflecting surfaces the measuring values are considerably higher than
they would be in the free field, or in front of a hardly reflecting surface.

The instrument must not be installed in the shades of buildings, parts of buildings,
masts, antennas, trees, bushes etc., as otherwise the proper ambient brightness or
the direct sun radiation is not acquired correctly.

Attention:

The electrical connection must be carried out only by a qualified
expert.
The instrument must be opened only in dry conditions.
The uncovered electronics must not be damaged.

4.1 Mechanical Mounting

The brightness transmitter is designed to be mounted to a horizontal surface out-of-doors. It is
recommended to carefully choose a location which is free of shades and reflections.

For installation please unscrew and remove the housing cover. Through the now accessible mounting
boreholes the instrument is fastened by the respective screws.

For the optimum acquisition of the sun position the brightness transmitter is aligned by means of a
compass, so that the side of the housing with the north marking indicates to the (geographical)
Northern direction.

4.1.1 Examples for Mounting Alternatives

 Mounting of the brightness transmitter at a mast top through holder, and adaptor.

 Mounting of the brightness transmitter below a mast top through traverse and adaptor.

In order to minimize reflections it is recommended to blacken the mast, above the traverse,
acc. to the length of the traverse.

Remark:

Mast, holder, traverse, and adapter are not included in delivery

4.2 Electrical Mounting

Use a shielded LiYCY 12 x 0,25 mm² (6 x 0,25 mm²) cable to connect the instrument electrically. Lead
the cable through the screwed cable gland and place it on the terminal strip as shown in the
connecting diagram. Ground the shielding.

After wiring of the instrument the nut of the cable gland, and screws of the housing cover are to be
screwed tightly together with the base part of the housing.

4.3 Setting of the Heating Device

On status of delivery the heating is activated. In case a deactivation should be carried out please
unscrew and remove the housing cover. Open the bridge P4 on the pc-board which is now visible.

5 Maintenance

Clean the light dome at regular intervals – depending on the extent of soiling – with a soft cloth and
pure water (no additives).
