Application
The Sun module HB 05/HB 15 is part of the Hometronic System*. It
measures the brightness and temperature outside a building. The
housing of the sun module contains:
•1 sensor for measuring the brightness
•1 sensor for measuring the temperature
The measuring data* are transferred by radio to the Hometronic
Manager*. These data are used by the Hometronic Manager to control
the shutters which are assigned to the sun module via the following
functions:
•Opening the shutters at sunrise (SR)
•Sun protection (SP) in case of intensive sunshine and depending on
the outside temperature
•Closing the shutters at sunset (SS)
•Automatic brightness control (HA) for controlling the lamp
brightness via brightness values of the HB 05/HB 15 or controlling a
device with the device switch HS 20 or HS 30.

•In the case of Version HB 15 with a connected vane anemometer*:
Opening or closing the shutters depending on the wind forces (wind
protection*)
Use the wind sensor HWS 40 to control the awnings.
You can connect further external sensors to the sun module:
•A temperature sensor to the HB 05 (alternatively to the temperature
sensor in the housing)
•A temperature sensor and a vane anemometer to the HB 15

Safety instructions
Caution!
The sun module has a radio transmitter whose function
can be impaired by metallic objects or radio devices.
►When selecting the mounting site, ensure that there is
sufficient distance to metallic objects and radio
devices.
►Select a different mounting site if radio interference
occurs.
Caution!
The brightness and temperature sensors in the inside of
the module have been adapted to the housing state.
►Do not coat the housing.
►Avoid rough damage to the housing.
Information on mounting the sun module
When selecting the mounting site, ensure that ...
•the sun module is easily accessible for the teach in* and the battery
change
•the brightness situation at the building is determined unimpaired as
far as possible

Mounting
6
If you only install one sun module, select the mounting site in
accordance with its main application: Your Hometronic Manager uses
the measured data to control e.g. the position of the shutters at
sunrise or sunset. For measured data ...
•at sunrise: Align the sun module to face East
•at sunset: Align the sun module to face West
•for the whole day: Align the sun module to face South
Information on mounting external sensors
In order to connect external sensors you require:
(1), (2) Cable from the distribution box to the external sensors
(3) Damp-proof distribution box
(4) Connection cable (HCV 23) to the sun module

Mounting

When selecting the mounting site, ensure that ...
•the function of the external sensors is not impaired by an unsuitable
mounting site
•the external temperature sensor is not subject to direct sun
irradiation
•the wind conditions at the vane anemometer correspond to those at
the assigned shutters
•the vane anemometer is not positioned sheltered from the wind
Mounting the sun module
1. Mounting the mounting bracket
The metallic mounting bracket supports the function of the radio
transmitter.
When mounting the unit, ensure that the horizontal screw
hole of the mounting bracket is positioned at the top.
►Select a suitable mounting site.
►Use suitable screws and dowels to fasten the
mounting bracket firmly to the underground.

Inserting batteries
►If necessary, take the sun module out
of the mounting bracket.
►Open the battery compartment:
–Press in the battery lid.
–Pull up the housing frame.
–Remove the battery lid.
►Remove the old batteries, if necessa-
ry.
Batteries should not be disposed of in the household garbage.
You may be required by local law to dispose of used batteries
in a certain manner.
►Dispose of used batteries in conformance with the local statutory
requirements.
Always replace both batteries.
Only use 1.5 V mignon batteries of the type LR06.
►Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the
polarity is correct!
►Close the battery compartment and insert the sun module into the
mounting bracket.
Mounting of the sun module is now complete.
