Installation
Prior to starting the installation, check the proper function of the transmitter
and the receiver at the desired installation position.
The installation location for the weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER must be
selected in a way that the values measured for wind speed, sun intensity as
well as temperature and air humidity roughly equal the ones at the sun pro-
tection system. To ensure a correct measuring of the insolation, ON-
YX.WEATHER is to be mounted precisely at an angle of 90 degrees and
absolutely perpendicular to the facade (see Fig. 1).
Care has to be taken that at the desired mounting position a 230 V / 50 Hz
power connection is available. Extended instructions for the electrical instal-
lation can be found in the download area of our website http://www.hella.info.
1. Place the ONYX.WEATHER at the desired position on the facade.
2. Mounting material to fix ONYX.WEATHER to the facade is enclosed in
the delivery.
3. Connect the stripped mains cable to the 230 V / 50 Hz mains.
It is never ever allowed to mount the weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER in
the shade or the wind shadow of the extended sun protection unit. The wall
bracket is to be mounted in such a way that the column with the wind wheel
points vertically upwards (as shown in Fig. 1).
Updraughts or down draughts on the facade may destroy products. Up-
draughts or down draughts are not recognised by ONYX.WEATHER. This
must be observed upon the installation of ONYX.WEATHER.

Installation to the facade
For the installation of the ONYX.WEATHER the pluggable bottom part of the
housing is removed. This can easily removed by pulling it downward. The
space between the boreholes for the screwing is 20 mm (see Fi. 1).
Brickwork / concrete
For the installation of ONYX.WEATHER in the brickwork or on concrete the
anchors and screws included in the scope of delivery must be used. For this
purpose, a borehole with a diameter of 8 mm, min. 40 mm deep, must be
provided.
Wood
For the installation of ONYX.WEATHER on a wooden facade, the enclosed
screws or other suitable woodscrews can be used.
Thermal insulation composite system
For the installation of ONYX.WEATHER on the thermal insulation composite
system special insulation dowels must be used. For detailed installation
instructions of these insulation dowels, please refer to the instructions of the
dowel manufacturer.

Configuration
Before configuring the ONYX.WEATHER, download HELLA’s free app ON-
YX®from the app store / Google Play to your smart phone.
Before you can use ONYX.WEATHER in combination with ONYX.CENTER,
ONYX.WEATHER must be added to the app ONYX®. You will find all infor-
mation regarding the configuration in the instructions for ONYX.CENTER /
ONYX.CLICK, directly in the app ONYX®or in the download area on our
homepage https://www.hella.info.
The serial number (ID) to assign multiple ONYX:WEATHER can be
found in the housing of the weather sensor (pull the pluggable bottom
part of the housing downwards).
Setting the wind resistance class for your products.
The wind resistance class can be individually set for every product that is
monitored by the ONYX.WEATHER. The wind resistance class depends on
the sun protection product itself as well as on the type of installation. After
adding the weather sensor, all assigned products are configured with stand-
ard wind resistance classes. These wind resistance classes must then be
adapted individually to the wind resistance classes of your sun protection
product. The information about the wind resistance class of your product can
be found in the technical documentation of your sun protection product.

Configuration
Incorrectly set wind resistance classes can lead to the product not moving to
a safety position despite high wind speeds. This poses a safety risk and sun
protection units as well as the surroundings can get damaged and persons
can get injured.
Ideal use of the radio signal
In case of bad reception, the position of the ONYX.WEATHER or ON-
YX.CENTER must be changed.
Radio systems that send on the same frequency may cause interference
with reception.
It must be considered that the range of the radio signal is limited by statutory
regulations and structural measures.
