Safety instructions for radio operation

Observe all safety instructions for radio operation.

Only use radio systems which are approved and can be operated without interference.

• Radio systems must not be operated in areas where there is an increased risk of interference (e.g. hospitals, airports).

• The remote control is only approved for units and systems for which any malfunction of the transmitter or receiver would not result in a risk for persons, animals or property, or if such a risk is covered by other safety equipment.

• The operator has no protection whatsoever against interference by other telecommunication installations and local terminals (e.g. also from radio installations which are operated properly in the same frequency range).

• The range of the radio signal is limited by legislation and the structural conditions.

Intended use

Explanation of functions

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. If this is not possible then the radio signal is forwarded via other bidirectional participants until the signal reaches the target receiver. The target receiver carries out the command and sends a conﬁ rmation back to the transmitter. Bidirectional radio operation is only possible if all participants are bidirectional. Otherwise, the system is only unidirectional.

Unidirectional radio system

A unidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to radio receivers. However, unlike the bidirectional radio system, the radio receivers cannot send back a reply to the transmitter. The transmission of radio signals from radio receiver to radio receiver is also not possible.

Initial operation

Press a button to switch on the hand-held transmitter and illuminate the status display and operating mode display. The hand-held transmitter is in automatic mode during initial operation.

Note

Do not press the P button until the receivers are in programming mode. The active channel for a radio system is decided during programming. If the receiver is not in teach-in mode, the channel from the transmitter changes to unidirectional mode. Press and hold the STOP and P buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds until the status display lights up.

green. → The receiver now executes automatic and manual travel commands.

Pressing the selection button in the central channel for longer (approximately 1 second) changes the Auto or Manual operating mode for all the individual channels. A different operating mode for individual channels (auto and manual) is set on switching for all channels to Auto operating mode.

Programming the transmitter

Requirement

The receiver is installed. Check whether the channel has been deleted or in the correct mode according to the status display.

Stand in front of the blind to be programmed while programming.

1. With receivers which have already been installed, switch the circuit breaker off and on again after a few seconds. The receiver is now in programming mode for about 5 minutes.

2. Press the programming button P on the back of the unit brieﬂ y (approximately 1 second) until the status display lights for a short time. The blind moves up and down for approximately two minutes, showing that the receiver is in programming mode.

3. Press the UP button as soon as the blind starts moving in Open direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display lights brieﬂ y. The blind stops brieﬂ y, starts moving again, stops and then moves in the Down direction.

4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights brieﬂ y. The blind stops. The transmitter channel is programmed.

Note

The blind must be programmed again if it does not stop.

A bidirectional programming process in the hand-held transmitter can be cancelled by pressing the STOP button for 6 seconds.

The transmitting power or the radio range will be reduced by the reduction in the performance of the battery. If the voltage drops below 2 V, functions are no longer executed and nothing is displayed.

Group control unit

A group is understood to mean the control of several receivers at the same time. The selected group is controlled by a travel command. All 5 channels (transmitter) can be used for the group control.

Any number of receivers can be programmed and controlled in each channel.

Selection button

Pressing the selection button brieﬂ y allows you to select from 5 channels. The various channels are indicated by the LEDs in the channel indicator lighting up.

An additional channel is reserved for the central channel to which all the individual channels are assigned automatically. When the central channel is selected, this controls all radio channels simultaneously. This is indicated by all ﬁ ve LEDs lighting up.

Pressing the selection button brieﬂ y allows you to query the current status (automatic/manual) of the programmed receivers (bidirectional receivers only) and the hand-held transmitter.

Pressing the selection button for longer (approximately 1 second) switches off automatic mode of the current bidirectional channel or all unidirectional channels. The operating mode indicator lights up red. → The receiver now only carries out manual travel commands and does not respond to automatic travel commands.

Note

Upward travel of the receiver is initiated when the automatic system is activated.

Pressing the selection button for longer (approximately 1 second) switches on automatic mode of the bidirectional channel or all unidirectional channels. The operating mode indicator lights up

Exp

lanation of functions

If more than 10 bidirectional receivers are being programmed at the same time, the transmitter channel in programming mode switches to group mode. The group mode is indicated by fast ﬂ ashing with pauses.

Programming in group mode is completed after a 2-minute pause or pressing the STOP button for 6 seconds.

Note

A jogging mode for Venetian blinds for quickly reaching receivers which are further away is not possible in a transmitter channel with more than 10 programmed receivers.

Synchronous programming mode

For programming additional receivers to one transmitter at the same time:

1. Press the DOWN button and the P programming button (rear of unit) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter which has already been programmed to the receivers. The status display ﬂ ashes. The receivers are now in programming mode.

2. For bidirectional operation only: press the programming button P on the transmitter to be programmed until the status display lights brieﬂ y. The receivers are now in programming mode (up/ down movements).

3. Press the UP button as soon as the blind starts moving in Open direction (within no more than 1 second). The status display lights brieﬂ y. The blinds stop brieﬂ y, start moving again, stop and then move downwards.

4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights brieﬂ y. The blinds stop moving. The transmitter channel is programmed.

Programming additional transmitters

Note

If several receivers are connected to the same supply line, then all are simultaneously in programming mode for

approximately 5 minutes after the mains power is switched on.

If the P button on the transmitter is now pressed, all the receivers start programming mode at the same time (up/down movements). Randomly different intervals between up/down movements cause the receivers to become offset against one another. The longer programming is delayed, the greater the offset will be.

The short up/down movements can be stopped by pressing the STOP button brieﬂ y on a transmitter which has already been programmed. The programming mode in the receiver is interrupted.

The transmitter can now be assigned without having to disconnect individual receivers. If the blind moves in the wrong direction, delete the transmitter and program it again.

(→ see Deletion of transmitter)

For programming additional transmitters to one receiver:

1. Press the UP, DOWN buttons and the programming button P (rear of unit) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter which has already been programmed to the receiver. The status display lights brieﬂ y. The receiver is now in programming mode.

2. Press the programming button P on the transmitter to be programmed until the status display lights brieﬂ y. The receiver is now in programming mode (up/down movements).

4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights brieﬂ y. The blind stops. The transmitter channel is programmed.
