Application

The wind sensor HWS 40 is part of the Hometronic System and
protects motor-driven awnings against damage through storms. A
vane anemometer measures the wind speed at the outer wall of the
building. The vane anemometer is hard-wired to the tube motor of the
awning and to the shutter module HA 30.
If the wind speed at the vane anemometer exceeds the set threshold
speed, the awning travels in immediately. The awning cannot be
traveled out again until the wind speed has not exceeded the
threshold value for a period of 16 minutes.
