Mounting Mounting Safety instructions The sun module has a radio transmitter whose function can be impaired by metallic objects or radio devices. When selecting the mounting site, ensure that there is Caution! ► sufficient distance to metallic objects and radio devices.
Mounting If you only install one sun module, select the mounting site in accordance with its main application: Your Hometronic Manager uses the measured data to control e.g. the position of the shutters at sunrise or sunset. For measured data ... •...

Activating the teach-in mode at the sun module In order to check whether the radio connection is ensured for later operation, the sun module should remain as near as possible to the mounting site during the teach-in mode.

Mounting 3. Display at the Hometronic Manager if the teach-in is successful The rectangle is replaced by an SENSOR-1 BRIGHT asterisk in the display: SENSOR-2 TEMP SENSOR-3 SENSOR-4 The Hometronic Manager recognizes that the Sun module HB 05 has two different sensors (brightness and temperature) and therefore reserves the next sensor correspondingly.
Operation Operation After a successful teach-in, the sun module (with the external sensors) sends the measured data by radio to the Hometronic Manager in intervals of approx. 10 minutes. The shutters and lights therefore react with a corresponding delay to changes in the intensity of the sunlight. For information on how to read values of the sensors at the Hometronic Manager and adapt the functions, please refer to the operating instructions of the Hometronic Manager.
