General

The flush-mounted radio receiver, delivered ex works, converts radio signals
into control signals. A wired drive can be radio-controlled using the radio re­ceiver. The radio receiver can be operated by all the transmitters in the B­Tronic range of control units.
Please observe these Assembly and Operating Instructions when installing
and setting up the equipment.

Explanation of pictograms

CAUTION

ATTENTION

You will find the current status on the type plate according to the following

symbol:
Confirmation is provided by the receiver switching briefly on and off, or by a
shift in the shading solution.

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in in­jury.

ATTENTION indicates measures that must
be taken to avoid damage to property.

Denotes user tips and other useful in­formation.

Warranty

Structural modifications and incorrect installation which are not in accordance
with these and our other instructions can result in serious injuries, e.g., crush­ing of limbs. Therefore, structural modifications may only be carried out with
our prior approval and strictly in accordance with our instructions, particularly
the information contained in these Assembly and Operating Instructions.
Any further processing of the products which does not comply with their inten­ded use is not permitted.
The end product manufacturer and fitter have to ensure that all the relevant
current statutory, official and, in particular, EMC regulations are adhered to
during utilisation of our products, especially with regard to end product manu­facture, installation and customer advice.

Safety instructions

The following safety instructions and warnings are intended to avert hazards
and to prevent property damage and personal injury.

General information

• Always comply with regulations of local energy supply companies as well
as VDE 100 provisions for wet and damp rooms during installation.

• Only use in dry rooms.

• Only use unmodified original parts from the control unit manufacturer.

• Observe all pertinent country-specific regulations.

• Keep people out of the system’s range of travel.

• If the system is controlled by one or several appliances, the system’s

range of travel must always be visible during operation.

• Keep children away from control units.

Caution

• Risk of injury due to electric shock.

• Connections to the 110-240V mains must always be per-

formed by a specialist.

• During installation, all-pole disconnection from the mains
with a contact gap of at least 3mm per pole must be
provided.

• Disconnect the connecting cable from the power prior to
installation.

• When connecting the control cables (protected extra-low
voltages), only use cables with sufficient electrical
strength.

• A wind monitoring unit cannot be connected to the
device. Retract the exterior sun protection manually in
strong winds in order to prevent damage.

4

Intended use

The radio receiver described by the present instructions must only be used for
the operation of roller shutter, blind and ON/OFF control units (e.g. lighting
equipment).

• Please note that radio-controlled systems may not be used in areas with
a high risk of interference (e.g. hospitals, airports).

• The remote control is intended solely for use with equipment and sys­tems in which malfunctions in the transmitter or receiver would not pose
any risk to persons, animals or property, or which contain safety devices
to eliminate such risks.

• The operator is not protected from interference from other telecommu­nications systems and terminal equipment (e.g. even from radio-con­trolled systems which are properly operated in the same frequency
range).

• Only connect radio receivers to devices and systems approved by the
manufacturer.

• Ensure that the control unit is not installed or operated
close to metal surfaces or magnetic fields.

• Radio-controlled systems transmitting on the same fre­quency may cause reception interference.

• Note that the range of the radio signal is limited by legis­lation as well as by design.

Wiring

Caution

• Risk of injury due to electric shock.

• Connection may only be performed by a qualified electri-

cian!

• The device only offers back-of-hand protection, not
touch protection.

• Do not bend, shorten or lengthen the antenna.

• Only operate the programming button with an insulated

tool.

• If more than one drive is going to be operated by the radio
receiver, the drives must be decoupled by relay controls.
There is no need for decoupling in the case of our drives
with electronic limit switching.

• Always take into account the device switching current.

• The maximum switching capacity must not be exceeded.

• When the jumper is inserted (C to L), the mains voltage is

switched to the outputs of the radio receiver.

with drive control

These connecting terminals are intended for an additional button. If a travel
button is pressed for more than 0.5 seconds, the shading solution runs in the
desired direction as far as the limit position. If the travel button is pressed for
less than 0.5 seconds, the shading solution stops.
If intermediate positions have been programmed, these can be approached
using the push-button by tapping UP / DOWN twice.

Ensure that there is optimum radio reception.

Caution

• Risk of injury due to electric shock.

• The device only offers back-of-hand protection, not

touch protection.

• Only operate the programming button with an insulated
tool.

Putting the radio receiver into programming mode

a) Putting the radio receiver into programming mode by switching on
the power

If you select position 0 (reference) via the function switch
after programming, the function that was previously set is
saved. It is now no longer possible to activate programming
mode by switching on the voltage.

Select the required function via the function switch (see Explanation of dis­plays and buttons [}6]).

Switch on the power.

The LED flashes green.

► The radio receiver goes into the programming mode for 3 minutes.

b) Putting the radio receiver into programming mode with the program­ming button

Select the required function via the function switch (see Explanation of dis­plays and buttons [}6]).

Press the programming button for 1 second.

The LED flashes green.

► The radio receiver goes into the programming mode for 3 minutes.

c) Putting the radio receiver into programming mode with a previously
programmed B-Tronic transmitter

Select the required function via the function switch (see Explanation of dis­plays and buttons [}6]).
For a more detailed description refer to the instructions for the transmitter.

Limit position adjustment and configurations

The commissioning and later configurations are only possible with a B-Tronic
transmitter.

1. Setting of limit positions

Please find the appropriate description in the instructions for the drive.

2. Performing the programming run

Feedback is disabled and it is not possible to program the intermediate posi­tions until the programming run has been performed.
Please find the information on how to perform the programming run in the in­structions for the B-Tronic transmitter.

3. Possible configurations

Please find the appropriate description in the instructions for the B-Tronic
transmitter.

Deleting transmitters

Deleting a transmitter via the radio receiver

Caution

• Risk of injury due to electric shock.

• The device only offers back-of-hand protection, not

touch protection.

• Only operate the programming button with an insulated
tool.

Select the required function via the function switch (see Explanation of dis­plays and buttons [}6]).
Press the programming button at the radio receiver for 5 seconds until the LED
at the radio receiver flashes red.
For a more detailed description refer to the instructions for the transmitter.
