2.2 Intended use
The device is a weather station for surface-mounting on buildings.
Depending on the setting, the movement detector responds to body heat and switches on the
lights.
The device is intended for the following:
■ Operation according to the listed technical data
■ Installation on walls of buildings
■ Use with the connecting options available on the device
The intended use also includes adherence to all specifications in this manual.
2.3 Improper use
Each use not listed in Chapter 2.2 “Intended use“ on page 5 is deemed improper use and can
lead to personal injury and damage to property.
ABB is not liable for damages caused by use deemed contrary to the intended use of the
device. The associated risk is borne exclusively by the user/operator.
The device is not intended for the following:
■ Unauthorized structural changes
■ Repairs
■ Insert with an additional bus coupler
2.4 Target group / Qualifications of personnel
Installation, commissioning and maintenance of the device must only be carried out by trained
and properly qualified electrical installers.
The electrical installer must have read and understood the manual and follow the instructions
provided.
The electrical installer must adhere to the valid national regulations in his/her country governing
the installation, functional test, repair and maintenance of electrical products.
The electrical installer must be familiar with and correctly apply the "five safety rules" (DIN VDE
0105, EN 50110):
1. Disconnect
2. Secure against being re-connected
3. Ensure there is no voltage
4. Connect to earth and short-circuit
5. Cover or barricade adjacent live parts

Technical Reference Manual 1473-1-8811 │6
2.5 Safety instructions
Danger - Electric voltage!
Electric voltage! Risk of death and fire due to electric voltage of 230 V.
Dangerous currents flow through the body when coming into direct or indirect
contact with live components. This can result in electric shock, burns or even
death.
■ Work on the 230 V supply system may only be performed by authorised and
qualified electricians.
■ Disconnect the mains power supply before installation or dismantling.
■ Never use the device with damaged connecting cables.
■ Do not open covers firmly bolted to the housing of the device.
■ Use the device only in a technically faultless state.
■ Do not make changes to or perform repairs on the device, on its components
or its accessories.
Caution - hot surface!
The rain sensor is hot during operation.
■ Do not touch the rain sensor.

2.6 Environment
Consider the protection of the environment!
Used electric and electronic devices must not be disposed of with domestic
waste.
– The device contains valuable raw materials which can be recycled.
Therefore, dispose of the device at the appropriate collecting depot.
All packaging materials and devices bear the markings and test seals for proper disposal.
Always dispose of the packaging material and electric devices and their components via the
authorized collecting depots and disposal companies.
The products meet the legal requirements, in particular the laws governing electronic and
electrical devices and the REACH ordinance.
(EU Directive 2002/96/EC WEEE and 2002/95/EC RoHS)
(EU REACH ordinance and law for the implementation of the ordinance (EC) No.1907/2006).

[1] Brightness sensor
[2] Rain sensor with heating (optional)
[3] LED and push-button for positioning during commissioning and for booting
[4] Wind wheel
[5] Temperature sensor
The weather station (with bus coupler) must only be integrated in a free@home system. Here,
for example, it can be assigned to existing switch actuators to control automated functions. The
devices detect temperature, brightness and wind speed. They have not been pre-programmed.
Also a rain sensor has been installed on the top side. This can also activated as an option
(additional power supply via 110 to 230 V necessary).
The weather data can be displayed via the web-based user interface of the System Access
Point and the free@home- app.
The integrated bus coupler makes possible the connection to the free@home bus line.
NOTE
Rain is only detected when the rain sensor is sufficiently moist. There could be a
delay between the first rain drop of a shower and the time the rain is detected.
After the rain has stopped, and in spite of the heating, it can also take several
minutes until the sensor is dry again and this is detected by the device.
The temperature value can be affected by direct exposure to sunlight.
