3 Description
1. Description
The Weather Station Suntracer KNX basic perceives temperature, wind speed,
brightness and precipitation. All data may be used for the control of switching outputs
which depend on threshold values. The states may be linked by means of AND and OR
logic gates. The compact housing of Suntracer KNX basic stores the sensor system,
the evaluation electronics and the electronics of the bus connection.
Functions:
• Brightness measurement: The current light intensity is measured by means
of a sensor
• Wind measurement: The measurement of wind speed is accomplished
electronically and thus noiseless and reliable even in case of hail, snow and
minus temperature. Air swirls and up-draught in the radius of the weather
station are collected, too
• Precipitation perception: The surface of the sensor is heated so that only
drops and flakes are recognised as precipitation but not fog or dew. If it stops
raining or snowing, the sensor dries quickly and the precipitation message
ends
• Temperature measurement
• Switching outputs for all measured and calculated values (Threshold values
can be set by parameter or via communication objects)
• 8 AND and 8 OR logic gates with each 4 inputs. Every switching incident as
well as 8 logic inputs (in the form of communication objects) may be used as
inputs for the logic gates. The output of each gate may optionally be configured
as 1 bit or 2 x 8 bits
Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS. The programme file (format VD),
the data sheet and the manual can be downloaded from the Elsner Elektronik homepage on www.elsner-elektronik.de in the “Service” menu.

2. Installation and commissioning
2.1. Notes on installation
Warning, mains voltage!
National legal regulations are to be observed.
Installation, inspection, commissioning and troubleshooting of
the device must only be carried out by a competent electrician.
Disconnect all lines to be assembled, and take safety precautions against accidental
switch-on.
The device is exclusively intended for appropriate use. With each inappropriate change
or non-observance of the instructions for use, any warranty or guarantee claim will be
void.
After unpacking the device, check immediately for any mechanical damages. In case of
transport damage, this must immediately notified to the supplier.
If damaged, the device must not be put into operation.
If an operation without risk may supposedly not be guaranteed, the device must be put
out of operation and be secured against accidental operation.
The device must only be operated as stationary system, i.e. only in a fitted state and
after completion of all installation and start-up works, and only in the environment intended for this purpose.
Elsner Elektronik does not assume any liability for changes in standards after publication of this instruction manual.
2.1.1. Location
Select an assembly location at the building where wind, rain and sun may be collected
by the sensors unobstructedly. Do not assemble any construction components above
the weather station from where water may drop on to the rain sensor after it has stopped raining or snowing. The weather station may not be shaded by the building or for
example by trees. Leave at least 60 cm of free space beneath the weather station in order to enable a correct wind measurement and in order to avoid that the weather station is snowed in if there is heavy snowfall. Please ensure that the extended awning
does not cast shade on the unit, and that this is not protected from the wind.
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, (sunlight, heating or cold water pipes). Temperature variations from such sources of interference must be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure the specified accuracy of the
sensor (temperature offset).
