Application
The wind sensor HWS 40 is part of the Hometronic System and
protects motor-driven awnings against damage through storms. A
vane anemometer measures the wind speed at the outer wall of the
building. The vane anemometer is hard-wired to the tube motor of the
awning and to the shutter module HA 30.
If the wind speed at the vane anemometer exceeds the set threshold
speed, the awning travels in immediately. The awning cannot be
traveled out again until the wind speed has not exceeded the
threshold value for a period of 16 minutes.

injuries.
► All work may only be carried out by authorized
specialized personnel.
► De-energize the corresponding fuse during all work on
the module.
Selecting the mounting site
When selecting the mounting site for the vane anemometer and the
electronics box ensure that:
• The wind conditions at the cane anemometer correspond to those
at the assigned awning
• The electronics box is not subject to direct sun irradiation
• The supplied connecting cable may not be extended.

Wiring
► Open the electronics box and fasten it at the mounting site.
Please refer to Page 10 for the dimensions.
► Fasten the vane anemometer at the mounting site.
► De-energize the corresponding fuses.

Components are damaged if phases are interchanged

or if the local grounding specifications are not observed.
► Ensure phase coincidence at the used components.
Caution!
► Observe the local grounding specifications.
► Wire the vane anemometer, electronics box, motor and shutter
module HA 30 in accordance with the wiring diagram on Page 6.
► Close the electronics box.
► Insert the fuse again.

Changing the threshold value of the wind speed
The awning or shutter is damaged when the wind is
strong.
► The set threshold value should only be changed by
Caution! authorized specialized personnel.
► De-energize the corresponding fuse.
► Open the electronics box.
► Set the wind speed at which the awning is to travel in at the DIP
switches in the electronics box in accordance with the table on
Page 8.
► Close the electronics box.
► Insert the fuses again.

Information for the fitter

After mounting and starting up has been completed, the Hometronic
System can be handed over to the customer.
► Familiarize your customer with the basic operation of the Hometronic
Manager.
► Explain the operation of the components on site.
► Also explain the possibilities offered by manual operation of the
components.
► If appropriate, point out the particular applications and possibilities
offered by extending the respective installation of the Hometronic
System.
