4 Device description

The WS 10 weather station is a device to measure different meteorological data to be used

mainly but not exclusive for home automation.

Device description - 6 -

4.2 Air temperature and humidity

The air temperature is measured by a high accuracy NTC-Resistor. The humidity is measured

by a capacitive humidity sensor. External influence on the measurement (like sun radiation) is

eliminated by a compensation algorithm.

4.3 Air Pressure

The absolute air pressure is measured by an integrated sensor (MEMS) within the device. The

barometric altitude formula is used to calculate the relative air pressure in relation to sea level

(NN) using the GPS altitude (the altitude that can be set by the user in the device).

4.4 Precipitation

Latest radar technology is used to measure precipitation. The precipitation sensor works with

a 24GHz Doppler radar, which measures the drop speed and calculates precipitation quantity

and type by correlating drop size and speed.

4.5 Wind

The wind meter uses a heated thermal element. Depending on the wind speed and direction

the temperature of the thermal element changes. This temperature change is used to calculate

the wind speed and direction.

4.6 Global Radiation

The global radiation is measured by a pyranometer mounted in the top cover of the WS10.

4.7 Position of the sun

The position of the sun is calculated by the geographical position of the weather station plus

the current date and time.

4.8 Brightness

The illuminance is measured from the visible light.

4.9 Twilight

Twilight illuminance is measured by the illuminance sensor driven with a different attenuation.

4.10 Compass

The integrated electronic compass can be used to check the north –south adjustment of the

sensor housing for wind direction measurement. It is also used to calculate the compass

corrected wind direction.

Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the WS10 to the north.

If there are misdirections in the compass due to surrounding magnetic fields, the electronic

compass can be switched off and manual alignment can be specified instead. See

configuration

4.11 GPS (Global Positioning System)

An integrated GPS-Modul is used to measure the geographical position of the WS10, date and

time.

Device description - 7 -

4.12 UV-Index

The UV-Index is a standard measurement value of the strength of sunburn-producing

ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV radiation is measured with an integrates sensor and the UV-

Index is calculated.

Note: The measured UV-Index must not be used for medical applications.

UV-Index

Risk

Schutz

0-2

low

A UV Index reading of 0 to 2 means low danger from the

sun's UV rays for the average person.

Wear sunglasses on bright days. If you burn easily, cover up

and use broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Bright surfaces,

such as sand, water and snow, will increase UV exposure.

3-5

moderate

A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm

from unprotected sun exposure.

Stay in shade near midday when the sun is strongest. If

outdoors, wear sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat,

and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad

spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy

days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such

as sand, water and snow, will increase UV exposure.

6-7

high

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from

unprotected sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye

damage is needed.

Reduce time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If

outdoors, seek shade and wear sun protective clothing, a

wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously

apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours,

even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright

surfaces, such sand, water and snow, will increase UV

exposure.

8-10

very high

A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm

from unprotected sun exposure. Take extra precautions

because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can

burn quickly.

Minimize sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If

outdoors, seek shade and wear sun protective clothing, a

wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously

apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours,

even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright

surfaces, such as sand, water and snow, will increase UV

exposure.

≥11

extreme

A UV Index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of

harm from unprotected sun exposure. Take all precautions

because unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes.

Try to avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If

outdoors, seek shade and wear sun protective clothing, a

wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously

apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours,

even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright

surfaces, such as sand, water and snow, will increase UV

exposure
