Windancer KNX-GPS Weather Station with Cup Anemometer

Product code: 71236

The Windancer KNX-GPS weather station for the KNX building bus system measures temperature, wind speed, brightness and detects precipitation. All values can be used to control limit-dependent switching outputs. The states can be linked via AND logic gates and OR logic gates.

The Windancer KNX-GPS model additionally receives the GPS signal for time and location and calculates the exact position of the sun (azimuth and elevation). The integrated shading control allows the intelligent control of the sun protection of up to eight façades.

Description

Functions:

Brightness measurement (current illuminance)
Wind measurement with cup anemometer
Precipitation detection: The sensor surface is heated, so that only drops and flakes are recognised as precipitation, but not mist or dew. When the rain or snow stops, the sensor is soon dry again and the precipitation warning ends
Temperature measurement
Switching outputs for all measured values. Threshold values can be adjusted per parameter or via communication objects
6 AND and 6 OR logic gates, each with 4 inputs. All switching events as well as 16 logic inputs (in the form of communications objects) can be used as inputs for the logic gates. The output of each gate can be configured optionally as 1-bit or 2 x 8-bit
Brightness measurement (current illuminance). Measurement with 3 separate sensors (east, south, west). Separate threshold values for night

GPS

GPS receiver, outputting the current time and location coordinates. The Weather Station Windancer KNX-GPS also computes the position of the sun (azimuth and elevation)
Shade control for up to 8 façades with slat tracking and shadow edge tracking
Weekly and calendar time switch: The weather station receives the time and date from the integrated GPS receiver. The weekly time switch switches up to 4 different periods per day. With the calendar time switch up to 3 additional time periods can be defined, in which up to 2 On/Off switches take place. The switching outputs can be used as communications objects. The switch times are set via parameters
Brightness measurement (current illuminance). Measurement with 3 separate sensors, output of the current highest value (one maximum value). Separate threshold values for night
