Description:
The Wind and Rain unit consists of a control unit and a wind and rain sensor.
It is used for the automatic control of 230V actuators for windows, light domes and canopies as well as for
ventilation controls.
The basic version of the electronic control system is equipped with 4 changeable contacts (for 4 motor groups) each
with a contact rating of 230VAC / 5A / 50Hz.
In case of wind and / or rain, all 4 change over contacts switch over from the N/C contact to the N/O contact at the
same time.
For example, the motors which are connected move to the ‘closed’position or to their inactive state.
The settings for the wind trigger level, the wind release delay as well as the test position are made by a 4 pole DIP
switch on the control board.
Operation / Function:
Change- over switch from the ‘central CLOSE / Automatic’to the ‘Automatic’position
The two colour diagnosis LED lights green (steady light).
All groups can be manually operated individually through the respective ventilation switch.
Activation by wind:
In case of activation by the wind sensor (wind speed is adjustable), all actuators close.
The two-colour diagnosis LED flashes red.
Remark:
The ventilation switches are locked for the period of the wind activation.
The activation resets 10 or 20 min (adjustable) after the last sensor actuation.

Operation / Function
Change- over switch from the ‘central CLOSE / Automatic’to the ‘Automatic’position
Activation by rain:
In case of activation by the rain sensor all actuators close.
The two-colour diagnosis LED lights red (steady light).
Remark:
The ventilation switches are locked for the period of the rain activation.
The activation resets 10 or 20 min. (adjustable) after the last sensor actuation.
A change over to ventilation switch mode is still possible in case of activation (see manual mode).
Manual mode (timed ventilation):
The rain activation can be deactivated by actuating the manual button (in front of the housing).
Despite a rain activation the actuators can be ‘OPENED’ via the ventilation switches.
The two-colour diagnosis LED flashes green.
The rain activation is active again after the expiry of approx. 30 min. or after pressing the manual switch again.
Change-over switch from the ‘central CLOSE / Automatic’ to the ‘central CLOSE’position
The two-colour diagnosis LED lights red (steady light).
CLOSED mode is a steady signal with priority over all other operating modes.
All functions are locked.
An external central CLOSE switch (potential-free N/O contact) can be closed.
Forwarding of a wind-rain activation
An external group extension or display (max. 60W) can be connected to the terminal X2.
In case of activation, 230Volt with maximum amperage of 280mA will be switched.
L1 = steady contact
Settings:
Various wind-rain parameters and operating modes can be set by means of the installed DIP switches.
