Function
The Protero-868/-915 is a battery-operated
radio transmitter with sensors.
It protects the awning by causing it to automatically retract when it is rattled by heavy
winds or when water collects on the fabric
(inclination change). A sensitivity threshold
is used to detect the triggering event. The
Protero 868/915 has been designed exclusively for use in conjunction with articulated
arm awnings with a box or cartridge.
Bidirectional radio system
A bidirectional radio system transmits radio
signals to a radio receiver and enables feedback from the radio receiver to the transmitter. The radio signal can be sent directly to
the target receiver. The target receiver carries out the command and sends a conrmation back to the transmitter (only when button
is pressed). In order for bidirectional radio
mode to work, all of the components involved
must be able to transmit and receive radio
signals. Whether bidirectional operation is
possible depends on the bidirectional communication capability of the receiver.
Compatibility with the following elero radio
drives or receivers:
SunTop 868 from V25, VariEco 868 from
V20, Combio 868 RM from V79, Revio 868
from V12.
Unidirectional radio system
A unidirectional radio system transmits radio
signals to radio receivers. However, unlike
in a bidirectional radio system, the radio
receiver cannot send any messages to the
transmitter.
Parallel operation of both radio modes is
not possible. After pressing the button [P],
the Protero-868/-915 decides whether uni or
bidirectional radio system will be used.
Change to the other radio operating
mode by deleting all transmitters (Protero-868/- 915 and hand/wall transmitters)
from the receiver (press [OPEN]+[DOWN/
CLOSE]+[STOP]+[P] for 6 seconds), then
program again.
Assembly and commissioning
Check compatibility of the accessories used
before assembly.
• Screwed in (with screws from the xing
set) or glued to one end of the outside or
inside of the drop prole without hindering
the closing of the awning.
• Drill 2 holes in the drop prole according
to the selected xing element at the specied distance: Fix the base plate with the
engraved arrow “oben/up” pointing upwards (the longitudinal axis of the Prote-
ro-868/-915 is parallel to the drop prole).
Important: The batteries are not activated at
delivery.
• To activate, remove the insulating strips on
the battery contacts.
Make sure the radio link is unobstructed.
Do not operate any devices on the same
radio frequency nearby (e.g., wireless headphones).
• Programming the Protero-868/-915 to the
receiver: see “Programming the transmitter/channel”.
• Test regularly to ensure that the sensor is
working properly.
The Protero-868/-915 can only protect the
awning from sudden wind gusts to a limited
degree due to the awning's travel time.
• In the event of an impending storm, ensure that the awning remains in a retracted position.
After commissioning, check that the thresholds set allow the awning to retract. The
fac tory default setting ensures safe operation
in most applications.

Programming
Programming the transmitter / channel
Requirement: The elero awning drive must be
set and 1 elero radio transmitter must already
be programmed. The Protero-868/-915 can
theoretically be programmes on multiple elero
awning drives. However, it is recommended
for the sensor to only be programmed to the
receiver on 1 awning.
Important:
Do not press the programming button P before the receiver is in programming mode. If
the receiver is not in programming mode, the
transmitter channel will change to unidirection-
al operation. To return to the initial state, press
the [STOP] button and the programming button
[P] simultaneously for 6 seconds until the LED
indicator illuminates.
1. Press the [OPEN] button, [DOWN/CLOSE]
button and the programming button [P]
simultaneously for 3 seconds on the transmitter that has already been programmed
to the receiver. The LED illuminates briey.
The receiver is in programming mode.
2. Press the programming button [P] on the
Protero-868/-915 for at least 1 second until
the LED illuminates. The receiver is now in
programming mode and indicates this by
extending and retracting.
3. Press the [OPEN] button (max. 1 second)
after the retraction starts.
The blind will stop.
4. Press the [DOWN/CLOSE] button (max.
1 second) after the extension starts.
The blind will stop. The Protero-868/-915 is
programmed.
Setting the wind sensitivity and inclination sensitivity
The Protero-868/-915 is delivered with a
basic factory setting. Following assembly
and commissioning, it is necessary to adjust
the sensitivity of the awning to inclination and
wind to suit the local conditions. There must
be no wind when doing this.
Wind sensitivity:
1. Drive the awning to the outer end posi-
tion. When this has been reached, the
Protero-868/-915 will reference within 210
seconds. It is essential to wait until this
time has elapsed!
2. Now manually move the drop prole with
the mounted Protero 868/915 in order
to mimic vibrations similar to those that
should cause the awning to retract.
3. Depending upon the result (too sensitive
or too insensitive), change the basic factory setting of the “acceleration” threshold
switch.
Inclination sensitivity:
1. Now drive the awning back to the outer
end position. Wait for at least 210 seconds
for the Protero-868/-915 to reference
again.
2. Check the preset inclination sensitivity of
1° by very slowly pressing the drop prole
in the outer end position downwards as far
as the point of inclination you nd acceptable and holding it there.
The awning will retract after at least 210
seconds (position alarm).
3. Depending upon the result (too sensitive
or too insensitive), change the basic factory setting of the “angle” threshold switch.
Important:
• Every setting that is changed must be
checked.
• Test regularly to ensure that the sensors
are working properly. The awning is likewise protected against the wind during
extension and retraction.

Timeout after alarm
If the awning is retracted following an “posi-
tion or acceleration alarm”, extension is only
possible again after a timeout of approx. 15
minutes. During the timeout, any extension
is stopped automatically after approximately
3 seconds and an automatic forced retraction
takes place (locking movement).
The timeout can be ended earlier as follows:
• During the locking movement, press the
[STOP] button on the programmed transmitter and then press the [OPEN] button.
After reaching the upper end position the
drive switches o, after which the time-out
is ended.
• On a programmed wall transmitter, move
the Auto/Manual sliding switch to the other
position and then back again.
• On a programmes hand-held transmitter,
use the selection button to switch from
automatic mode to manual mode.
Status LED on printed circuit board
When the status LED is illuminated, this
indi cates a radio signal. The same indicator
light also indicates the operating mode of the
receiver as follows:

Replacing the battery
If the extension of the awning is interrupt-
ed twice (loss movement), this is a sign of
nearly empty batteries, that are in need of
replacement.
If the awning can no longer be extended
(3 seconds extension, 1 second stop, 1 second extension, then retraction to upper end
position), the batteries must be replaced.
1. If the awning is retracted, press the
extension button on the hand/wall transmitter.
2. The awning extends for approx. 3 seconds
and stops briey due to the absence of
wind monitoring.
3. The awning subsequently retracts. Immediately press the [STOP] button (while
retracting). The awning now stops in this
position.
4. Disconnect the drive from the power supply.
5. Unscrew central sheet metal screw with
a suitable tool. Remove housing and
silicone seal.
6. Change the batteries. Use only Mignon
LR6 (not rechargeable) batteries. Pay
attention to correct polarity.
7. Replace housing and silicone seal on the
base plate.
8. Restore power supply for drive.
9. Check entire functionality.
After a battery change, the Protero-868/-915 remains programmed on the
drive.
10. Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with environmental regulations.
