Functional description
The DuoFern central operating unit is the universal input device for the DuoFern radio
system. The DuoFern central operating unit makes it possible to configure the functions
you require (e.g. connecting and disconnecting actuators and sensors / creating groups
/ automatic switching times, etc.) The settings are transmitted wirelessly to all of the
actuators and connected end units (appliances).
The actuators/sensors must be connected to the central operating unit.
Each DuoFern actuator/sensor has to be assigned to the central operating unit for
your settings and manual switching commands to be executed.
Explanation of terms
The following terms are used in this manual: actuators/members and end units.
Two members or two end units can be controlled by a two-channel actuator after
connection to the central operating unit.
Creating groups
You can collate the logged-on end units together into groups.

81
Maximum number of groups and members
Groups:
Members per group:
End units
(appliances connected to the actuators)
The following rules apply:
◆ An end unit can only be placed into a group as a member once.
◆ An end unit can be placed in numerous groups.
◆ The central operating unit always suggests the next free group slot.
This serves to avoid unintentional changes.
You can assign a name for all end units and groups
An individual name can be assigned to all end units and groups in order to facilitate a
better overview (e.g. lounge, kitchen, etc.). A table with preprogrammed suggested
names is included on page 63.

The „WR ConfigTool“ PC software
Alternative function input using the PC software "WR ConfigTool"
Alternately it is possible to set all
functions quickly and clearly on a
computer (which must have a USB
port) using the configuration software
and then to transfer the settings to
the central operating unit.
The "WR ConfigTool" PC software offers the following options:
◆ Convenient configuration via computer.
◆ Assignment of individual names for groups and members.
◆ Backup your settings.
NOTE
◆ You can download the latest version of the configuration software at any time
from the download area on our website (www.rademacher.de/download).
◆ The USB port is located under the battery compartment cover.
◆ It is not possible to directly control end units with WR ConfigTool.
Functions for DuoFern actuators
An overview of all central operating unit functions which can be configured for use with
the individual DuoFern actuators can be found on our website (rademacher.de/duofern).

Commissioning the central operating unit
Insert batteries (pay attention to the polarity)
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment at the rear of the central operating
unit. Please pay attention to the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
Only use the following battery type: 3 x 1.5 V type AAA (Micro).
NOTE
The central operating unit will not work if the batteries are inserted incorrectly.
Incorrectly inserted batteries can cause damage to the central operating unit.
Setting the date and time
After changing the batteries, you will be prompted to set the current time and date;
see page 53. If you have DCF signal reception at the site of operation, you can ignore
this prompt. Pressing the
OK
-key multiple times enables you to quit setting mode.
9
EN
i
Check DCF signal reception
The central operating unit is equipped with a DCF radio timer. The current date and
time will be set automatically once the DCF signal is received.
The DCF signal scan begins:
◆ as soon as the batteries are inserted (commissioning).
◆ the next day at 03:01 AM, in the event that no DCF signal was available at the
time of commissioning.
◆ every Sunday at 03:01 AM.
NOTE
Reception of a valid signal can take up to 5 minutes.
Under what circumstances is it possible that no valid /
correct DCF signal is received?
◆ If the place of use of the central operating unit is more than 1500 km
from Frankfurt am Main / Germany.
◆ If you are operating the central operating unit in another time zone.
◆ If building conditions restrict reception.
◆ If DCF reception is deactivated.
What can I do if the DCF signal is not detected?
◆ Activate the DCF clock, see page 53.
◆ Enter the current time and date manually; see page 53.
Observe the radio clock icon on the display:
Status Message
A DCF signal is being scanned for. The icon flashes.
A DCF signal has been received. The icon lights up.
No DCF signal has been received. The icon remains off.
DCF reception is deactivated. The icon remains off.

Examples of application
The easiest way to familiarise yourself with the menu structure and operation of the
central operating unit is to carry out the most important tasks for setting up a DuoFern
radio network step-by-step.
In order to do so, the following pages describe several basic examples:
◆ Connecting a DuoFern actuator.
◆ Connecting a DuoFern actuator via a radio code.
◆ Configuring a switching time for a group.
◆ Setting the position of the sun for an end unit (e.g. a tubular motor via tubular
motor actuator).

Examples of application
Connecting a DuoFern actuator.
Each DuoFern device (actuator/sensor) has to be assigned to the central operating
unit in order that your settings and manual switching commands can be executed.
In doing so, you can combine the DuoFern actuators into groups.
The maximum number of groups and members can be taken from the table on page 6.
Name assignment when connecting.
An individual name can be assigned to each end unit and group (e.g. lounge, etc.). A
table with the default suggested names is included on page 63.
Foregoing considerations
In order to maintain a clear overview of the settings, we suggest that you enter the end
unit assignment and desired settings into a table (name / group / member number). A
suitable template is available on our website under www.rademacher.de/download.

Examples of application
Connecting a DuoFern actuator via a radio code.
2.2
The radio code can be used to directly control DuoFern actuators and connect them to
the central operating unit. Once the connection has been successfully established, you
can carry out actions such as setting the limit stops for a tubular motor.
This offers a huge advantage for operating and configuring flush-mounted devices,
as it is not necessary to dismantle them.
◆ The radio code is located on the bottom of the respective DuoFern actuator and
on a label attached to the packaging.
◆ For DuoFern radio tubular motors you will find the radio code on the motor and
on a label fitted to the connecting cable.
duofern code
43 00 A1
◆ Example of a radio code label
