The electromagnetic calorimeter WILLI (Weakly Ionizing Lepton Lead Interaction), mounted in a rotatory frame measures the charge ratio and the flux of atmospheric muons in the energy range 0.4 - 1 GeV for prechosen azimuthal and zenithal direction. The measuring principle of the muon charge ratio is based on the different decay mechanism of positive and negative muons in matter, while for the flux the calorimetric method is used. The experimental setup permits the observation of the influence of the geomagnetic field on the muon charge ratio observable and fluctuations of the flux of low energetic muons, thus enabling sensitive tests of various simulations codes (e.g. CORSIKA). Recently the procedures of acquisition and analysis were automatized and the detector is ready for continuous data taking.
