AUTIONC
Never press buttons on your transmitter arbi-
trarily without line of sight to the sun shad-
ing product. Children may not play with this
product – keep remote controls and trans-
mitters out of the reach of children!
OTICEN The receiver (e.g. the radio plug receiver,
radio tubular motor) cannot function in the
event of a power failure. Therefore, raise the
sun shading system early enough in case of
an approaching storm.
Due to both legal regulations for radio systems and struc-
tural factors, the operating range of radio remote controls
is limited. Sufficient radio reception must be ensured when
planning the project. This is especially the case where the
radio signal must pass through walls and ceilings. The
control unit should not be installed in the immediate vicin-
ity of metal components (steel beams, reinforced concrete,
fire doors).
 Therefore, check that the receiver is functioning prop-
erly before the final installation.
Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. WLAN) with trans-
mission frequencies identical to those of the control
system may interfere with reception.
Installation
This device is designed for surface mounting on a build-
ing facade. It can also be mounted on a pole using the
included cable ties.
Included fixing materials:
2 screws 4.5 x 40 mm
2 screw anchors 6mm
2 spacers for wall and ceiling installation (Fig. 2)
2 steel cable ties 360 mm
Use suitable fixing materials only. Depending on the sub-
structure (e.g. plastered outer insulation), other screws and
screw anchors may need to be used.
Important information on the installation loca-
tion
 Attach the device outdoors at a readily accessible but
raised location.
 Metal-clad buildings, domestic interference sources
(unshielded household appliances, television sets,
computers), supply lines and metallic objects such
as sheet metal enclosures must have a distance of at
least 0.5 m from the weather station.

brightness and wind speed. The station is solar powered.
The device transmits weather data to WMS-compatible
receivers.
Intended use
The WMS Weather station eco is an electronic device to
control WMS receivers. Any use other than the purpose
described in these instructions requires approval from the
manufacturer.
Safety instructions
ARNINGW
An automatically controlled mechanism
may begin to move unexpectedly!
 Therefore, never place any objects in the area of move-
ment of an automatically controlled mechanism.
 Disconnect the power supply of the controlled sun
shading products before maintaining or cleaning the
products.

 Install the device in a position in which the wind wheel
is as close as possible to horizontal (housing inclina-
tion of 15°). When installing the device on sloped
areas, the sensor can be positioned horizontally using
the joint (Fig. 1).
 When selecting the installation location, ensure that the
solar panel is sufficiently supplied with sunlight. For
example, an overhanging roof may shade the panel at
certain times of the day. Also avoid installing it on the
north face of buildings.
 Before installing the device, consider that trees, bushes
or parts of the building may shade the photo sensor
during the course of the day. In this case, the sensor
cannot deliver exact measuring values and the results
will be incorrect. Therefore, select the installation loca-
tion carefully.
 When selecting an installation location, ensure that the
photo sensor is exposed to the same brightness condi-
tions as the sun shading system being controlled. This
means that you need to position the photodiodes ac-
cording to the building facades being shaded. Ideally,
the weather station is oriented in the same direction as
the sun shading product being controlled.
 Install the device in the vicinity of the sun shading
product although not in places where the sun shading
system affects the wind currents; otherwise, the sensor
will not provide the correct wind evaluation.
 Separate spacers are included for wall and ceiling
installation. They prevent cracking and deformation of
the plastic (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 Clipping the separate spacers into the threaded hole
 Additional installation information can be found in the
documentation of your sun shading system.

AUTIONC
Changing these settings may impair the
safety of the unit or reduce its effectiveness.
It is better to consult a qualified specialist
if you are not sure about the effects of a
change.
For your sun shading product to be protected properly, the
limit value above which a wind alarm is triggered needs to
be set for that particular product (type, width, projection,
etc.).

Cleaning
 Photo sensors or solar panels must always be clean
to avoid incorrect measuring values and to ensure
operating reliability. The device should occasionally be
checked for soiling (e.g. bird droppings) and cleaned
carefully. Standard household cleaners may be used.
Do not use solvents.
 In snowfall, check daily that the solar panel and pho-
todiodes are free of snow. A snow-covered weather
station may fail to function properly. If the energy in the
buffer is depleted, the weather station fails completely.
It resumes normal operation after it is recharged via
the solar panel.
 The weather station may ice over and the wind wheel
may freeze up in extreme weather conditions. To avoid
wind damage, take your sun shading system out of
operation until wind monitoring can be resumed.
 Never remove firmly attached layers of ice and snow.
Scratching, heat and chemical antifreeze agents may
damage the weather station.

over as well as using the sun shading system during se-
vere weather may cause damage and must be prevented
by the user by taking suitable precautions.
OTICEN This device meets the requirements on elec-
tromagnetic immunity and electromagnetic
interference for use in residential and commer-
cial environments.
Maintenance
Strong vibrations at the installation location (for exam-
ple, from frequent high wind loads) can loosen the fixing
screws. If the joint screw is not properly tightened, the
alignment of the weather station may change as well.
 Therefore, check from time to time that the weather
station is still firmly installed and that all screws are
sufficiently tight.

When a button is pressed on the weather station, no LED
lights up. The charge status of the batteries is too low. If
the weather station still does not work after charging via
the USB port, the batteries must be replaced. Proceed as
follows:
 Remove the cover of the weather station with a cross-
head screwdriver.
 Set the switch on the printed circuit board to "off".
 Always replace all three batteries. Only batteries of
type VARTA V65 HT (accessories kit, art. no. 2029295)
may be used.
 When inserting the new batteries, make sure that the
polarity matches: the positive terminal (+) of the batter-
ies should face up (visible) and the negative terminal
(-) should face down (see Fig. 4).
 Only touch the batteries at the edge.
 When inserting the batteries, take care not to damage
the printed circuit board.
 When inserting the batteries, make sure that the bat-
teries are pushed to one side under the contacts (see

Disposal
After use, the device must be disposed of according to
legal regulations or returned to your local recycling centre.
Heartbeat function
The weather station cyclically sends a so-called "heartbeat
pulse" to all receivers into which it is learned.
If the receiver does not receive measuring values for 24h,
it is assumed that the weather station has failed (heartbeat
function). The receiver moves the connected product to
a safe position. Depending on the type of sun shading
product, operation is limited or impossible until a new valid
value is received. This is a safety function and not an error.
AUTIONC
If you force the sun shading system to
extend by repeatedly activating the Down
button when the weather station has failed,
the safety functions are not active. The sun
shading system may become damaged (e.g.
due to high winds).

The weather station has not been assigned
to the receiver.
Assign the weather station to the channel
of the receiver (see "Assigning the weather
station to a channel" page 5).
Waving depends on the software version
of the particular receiver. Receivers of the
first model series do not yet wave to con-
firm receipt of the delete command.
-
When activated with the transmitter, the
sun shading system moves down only
briefly and then back up
A wind alarm was triggered Wait until the wind alarm is cleared. Then
repeat the move command
The sun shading system raises even in low
winds.
The wind speed limit is set too low Set the correct wind speed limit after con-
sulting the specialist dealer.
The wind speed limit depends on the most
wind-sensitive product controlled by the
weather station.
The sun shading system does not raise in
high winds
The wind speed limit is set too high Lower the wind speed limit
The weather station is installed in an area
protected against the wind
Check the installation location
The sun shading system is not lowered in
sunshine
The brightness limit value is set too high Decrease the value incrementally
The sun shading system does not raise in
cloudy weather
The brightness limit value is set too low Increase the value incrementally
The sun shading system unexpectedly
raises for no apparent reason
There is insufficient sunlight to operate the
weather station or the weather station's
signals cannot be received. The sun shad-
ing system is raised for safety reasons
Wait for sufficient sunlight, clean the weath-
er station, check the mounting situation
No communication between the weather
station and the sun shading system or the
WMS receiver (interference from unrelated
transmitters or device faulty)
Switch off unrelated transmitters, check
that the device is operating properly
The sun shading system can only be low-
ered in stages and stops after 5 seconds
There is insufficient sunlight to operate the
weather station. The sun shading system
can be operated normally again when it
has sufficient power.
Wait for sufficient sunlight, clean the wea-
ther station, check the mounting situation
Move commands of the weather station
are executed only sporadically
Interference caused by another transmitter Deactivate unrelated transmitters
There are reinforced concrete covers or
steel-reinforced concrete walls between the
weather station and receiver
Reduce the distance to the receiver
The sun shading system does not respond
to the wind information of the weather
station
If the weather station is assigned to a
WMS receiver that has already been
combined with a WMS wind sensor (e.g.
for patio awnings), this receiver only evalu-
ates the wind information of the WMS wind
sensor.
The WMS Wind sensor is always only
responsible for the wind monitoring. Other
wind information is ignored by the WMS
receiver. All other weather data of the
weather station can be evaluated normally
by this receiver.
