2 Installation and Selection of Installation Site
Please note:
The working position of the COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station is horizontal
(plug connection underneath).
During installation, de-installation, transport or maintenance of the
COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station make sure that no water gets into the de-
vice and connector.
2.1 Selection of installation site
An exposed position should be selected for this site. Measurement properties should not be
influenced by light reflections, cast shadows or the device being positioned in the lee of the
wind. Protection against lightning and overvoltages should also be provided by the customer.
2.2 Mechanical Mounting
The intended installation of the Weather Station WSC11 requires the use of a pipe socket /
pipe with an outside diameter of ≤25mm. The inside diameter must be ≥19mm to admit
the connector and cable.

Tool:
Hexagon socket wrench SW2mm
(socket wrench).
Procedure:
1. Push cable/plug connection
through the bore hole of the mast,
tube, bracket etc.
2. Put WSC11 on mast, tube.
3. Align WSC11 to “north”. (Proce-
dure see chapter 4.2.1).
4. Secure WSC11 by the M4- hexa-
gon socket screw.
Attention:
The hexagon socket screw is
to be tightened by max.
0.6Nm.
When using the
mounting angel article no. 509564 (see
chapter accessories) the guide angles
must be removed, see fig.
The mounting angle is not included in de-
livery.
Remark: Tube and mounting angle are not included in delivery.
2.2.1 North Alignment

For the exact determination of wind- and brightness direction the WEATHER
STATION COMPACT WSC11 must be mounted in north alignment (geographic
north).
The hexagon socket screw serves as
north marking (N)
Tool:
Hexagon socket wrench SW2mm
(socket wrench).
Procedure:
1. Detect a prominent object in the
surrounding area (tree, building
etc.) in north direction by means of
a compass.
2. Via the north marking (N) and an
imaginary north-south axis the
weather station is to be located on
the prominent object.
3. Align weather station.
The north marking must indicate to
the geographic north.
4. In case of match the weather sta-
tion is to be secured by an M4-
hexagon socket screw.
Attention:
The hexagon socket screw is to be
tightened by max. 0.6Nm.
Remark:
With the north alignment by means of a compass, the local variation (deviation in direction
of a compass needle from the true north direction) by interfering magnetic fields, and mag-
netic field influences by hardware and electric cable are to be considered.
2.3 Electrical Mounting
The COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station is equipped with a 7-pin plug for electrical connec-
tion. A cable socket (mating connector) is included in the scope of supply.
2.3.1 Cable, Cable Preparation, Connector Installation
The cable to be used for connection should have the following properties:
5 cores, core cross-section max. 0.14mm², cable diameter max. 5.0mm, resistant to ultravio-
let rays, overall shielding.

Note:
A prepared connecting cable is available for the COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station as an
optional accessory.
Cable socket, type: Binder, series 711
Attention:
The voltage drop on the cable must be taken into consideration with long cable connections,
so that the supply voltage for the WEATHER STATION COMPACT WSC11 is guaranteed.
Calculation of the voltage drop on the cable. ULtg = RL* I; R = 2 ∗  ∗  A
⁄; ρ(rho) = 0,018
Example: I = 0,3A, A = 0,14mm², L = 100m
R = 2 ∗  ∗  A
⁄, R = 25,7Ω
ULtg = RL* I, ULtg = 7,7V

3 Maintenance
As the device does not have any moving parts, i.e. is not subject to wear during operation,
only minimal servicing is required.
Depending on the location the instrument might pollute. The cleaning should be carried out
by means of water and a soft cloth. Aggressive cleaning agents must not be used.
Please note:
During storage, installation, de-installation, transport or maintenance of the
COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station make sure that no water gets into the de-
vice or connector.

4 LED Signals
On the underside of the COMPACT WSC11 Weather Station there are 2 LEDs which are ex-
ternally visible through the housing.
If the Weather Station does not receive a command to query measured values for 3 seconds
or longer, the green LED flashes at a frequency of 1Hz and signals its readiness for opera-
tion. If automatic telegram output is enabled (see Command TT), the green LED remains
dark.
The flash frequency of the blue LED indicates the current wind speed (see Command LC).
The correlation between the flash frequency and wind speed is shown in the following figure:
