Description
The Solexa shading control system has been developed for the automatic control of awnings or blinds and for comfortable manual operation. The control system offers a highest degree of flexibility for installation and setting and may therefore be adjusted individually to different conditions. Please anxiously use this instruction manual in order to adjust the automatic function to your require­ments.
Scope of supply
The Solexa shading control system consists of weather station and operating unit. Batteries for the operation of the operating unit are included in the scope of delivery (2 pcs.).
Commissioning procedure
Installation, inspection, commissioning and troubleshooting of the control system must only be arried out by a competent electrician.
Proceed as follows when commissioning the Solexa control system:
1. Installation and connection (see chapter „Installation and commissioning")
2. Basic setting (see chapter „Basic settings“)
3. Setting of the automatic (see chapter „Setting of automatic")
Options for connection and control
A drive mechanism for awnings or blinds may be connected to the Solexa control system. If several awnings or blinds shall be controlled together, the connection via a group control relay is possible.
The connected drive (or drive group) may be operated manually with the operating unit. A suitable radio remote control (Remo 8) and a radio push-button interface (RF B2-UP) are available in addition (option).
An operating device and an additional remote control Remo 8 or a pushbutton interface RF-B2-UP can be operated with the weather station (maximum two radio controlled participating devices at the weather station).

The following environmental parameters are measured and displayed:
Outdoor and indoor temperature
Lightness
Wind speed
Precipitation
Solexa may be deployed in the control system XS as control centre and as transducer. In this case, the control is upgraded with motor control units and operating units of system XS. The patio roof control Lixa may as well be programmed with the Solexa. The awning connected to Lixa will then follow the shading automation of Solexa.
Overview of available automatic functions
Shading according to sun intensity with extension and retraction delay
Extension to a programmed position; for blinds with slats with additional
setting of the slat angle.
Blocking of shading until a selectable indoor temperature is reached (heat
gain, only in automatic mode)
Retraction of shading below a selectable outdoor temperature (frost
protection, only in automatic mode)
Retraction of shading when a selectable wind speed is reached (wind alarm,
function may be deactivated)
Retraction of shading in case of rain (rain alarm, function may be
deactivated)
The awning or blind is retracted in automatic mode after the set lightness value falls below or in case of rain/wind alarm. The wind and rain protection functions are also active in manual mode if they have been set in automatic.

Manual mode activated. The connected drive mechanism was
operated manually (with arrow keys) or key was pressed. Thus, the automatic functions are deactivated, there is no control in terms of lightness or temperature. The safety functions rain alarm and wind alarm are still activated. The control is in manual mode until you change to automatic mode with key.
Rain alarm. Exterior awnings are retracted, manual operation is
blocked. The rain protection function may be turned on and off in the automatic settings (e.g. for internal awnings or blinds).
Wind alarm. Exterior awnings or blinds are retracted, manual
operation is blocked. The wind protection function may be set up or turned off in the automatic settings (e.g. for internal awnings).
Display of lightness and wind speed
Press the key during temperature display once for a short moment, and current lightness (in kilolux, kLux) and wind speed (in meters per second, m/sec) are displayed. The values are updated every 4 seconds.
Note: During the first approx. 90 seconds after the return of voltage at the weather station, the wind value is not displayed correctly (e.g. after a power fail or in case of a first start). Therefore, manual operation is blocked in this period of time in case of activated wind alarm.
If you press the key again for a short moment, you get back to the temperature display (or to the central command display, see next chapter). After approx. 60 seconds, the display switches automatically to the temperature display.

Manual operation
Manual control as well as the presetting of the automatic functions and the basic setting of the connected shading is accomplished with the keys of the operating unit.
Move shading manually
Up Stop Down
The connected awning or blind may be manually operated with the keys , and . The arrow keys are provided with a time automatic. By short pressing (less than 1 second), the awning or blind may be exactly positioned. If the key is pressed more than 1 second, the drive mechanism moves automatically to the final position. If you press , the drive mechanism stops. In case of rain or wind alarm, the manual operation is blocked.
Switch between manual and automatic
Manual/automatic
Key switches between automatic mode (display ) and manual mode
(display ). After the manual operation with the keys , or , the control system is in manual mode. The automatic functions then are deactivated, there is no control in terms of lightness or temperature. With key , the control is reset
to automatic (display ). After switching from manual to automatic mode, the drive remains in the position set manually. If the conditions for automatic shading are not met, the control retracts the hangings at the end of the retraction delay. If the conditions for shading are met, the control at first retracts the hangings at the end of the extension delay (4-minute reference movement). After that the shading position is initiated.
Central control
If the sending of meteorological data and automatic commands has been activated (see chapter 5 of the basic settings), you additionally obtain the following display after the manual mode:
8
In order to get to the display, press key twice shortly in automatic mode ( )
and once shortly in manual mode ( ). As long as the display shows , manual operating commands of this operating
unit are submitted to all drive mechanisms in system XS. During this display, use the keys , and in order to centrally operate all drive mechanisms.
Settings (default setting, automatic)
With the SET key and by pressing shortly, you access the display of lightness and wind speed. By pressing long, you access the setting menu of the automatic and the basic setting. For this purpose, please read chapters “Setting of automatic” or „Basic settings“.

Setting of automatic
For the awning or blind to shade optimally, the values for automatic operation must be adjusted to the local conditions. The following settings are queried one after the other: A. Lightness for the shading B. Extension delay C. Retraction delay D. Indoor temperature block E. Outdoor temperature block F. Wind alarm G. Rain alarm H. Storage
This is how you access the automatic settings:
In meteorological data display, press the key for at least 3 seconds in order to access the automatic setting.
You are in the automatic settings as soon as the symbols and are shown left in the display. You can see the first parameter (lightness) which must be set.

You may leave the automatic settings at any time by pressing the key . The accomplished changes of the values are not saved in this case.
If you do not press any key in the automatic settings for 5 minutes, the display automatically changes to temperature display. Accomplished settings are not saved either.
11
A. Lightness for the shading
In the automatic settings, you must indicate at first the lightness from which shading shall start.
Sun intensity is displayed in kilolux (kLux). The value of 1 kLux is already reached in case of a cloudy sky, 20 kLux indicates that the sun has just come out and 100 kLux are achieved with blue sky at noon.
The presetting for lightness is 40 kLux. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (off) in order to switch off the function. You reach the setting by pressing once more when the display shows “1 kLux”. If you select , there is no control in terms of
lightness. Therefore, the following automatic parameters (chapter B to E) are skipped. In this case, the shading may be operated manually and is protected from wind and rain (if the protection function has been activated, see chapter “F. Wind alarm” and “G. Rain alarm”). Press in order to get to the setting of the next parameter.
12
B. Extension delay
After the setting of the lightness, now enter the delay time for the extension of the shading.
The purpose of the delay is that the shading does not permanently extend and retract in case of fast changing lightness conditions.
The presetting for the extension is 1 minute. Thus, for one minute, the lightness must be continuously higher than the value which you have set (topic A of the automatic settings) for the shading to extend. Thus, the shading quickly reacts to the sun. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower). Then press in order to access the setting of the next parameter.
C. Retraction delay
After the setting of the extension delay, now enter the delay time for the retraction of the shading.
The presetting for the retraction is 12 minutes. Thus, for 12 minutes, the lightness must be continuously lower than the value which you have set (topic A of the
13
automatic settings) for the extended shading to retract. Thus, clouds passing by are „ignored”. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower). Then press in order to access the setting of the next parameter.
D. Indoor temperature block
After the setting of the retraction delay, now select the indoor temperature below which shading shall be prevented.
By means of the indoor temperature block, you may use the sun in order to obtain the desired room temperature (e.g. in winter). Only if the value is exceeded, the shading extends in case of sun. The indoor temperature is only applied for the automatic mode of the control system. The manual operation of the shading is still possible. The delay (hysteresis) of the indoor temperature block is 3°C. That means, the shading is blocked only after the indoor temperature has dropped below the set value more than 3°C.
The presetting for the indoor temperature block is 18°C. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (off) in order to switch off the indoor temperature block. You reach the setting by pressing
once more when the display shows “5°C”. Then press in order to access the setting of the next parameter.
14
E. Outdoor temperature block
After the setting of the indoor temperature block, now select the outdoor temperature below which shading shall be prevented.
The outdoor temperature block is important for exterior sun protection systems. In case of frost, the awning or blind may freeze in the slide rails. If the shading is then moved, it may be damaged. Please note that the slide rails or other mechanical components may still be frozen although the outdoor temperature has considerably high values. Please enquire the blocking temperature for your shading at your winter garden manufacturer. The delay (hysteresis) of the outdoor temperature block is 2°C. That means, the shading is released only after the outdoor temperature has extended the set value more than 2°C.
If your shading also operates at low temperatures or if it is installed indoor, please deactivate the outdoor temperature block (display ).
Outdoor as well as indoor temperature blocks only apply for the automatic mode. Manual operation is further possible. Therefore, please observe possible icings if you open and and close manually.
The presetting for the outdoor temperature block is 5°C. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (off) in order to switch off the outdoor temperature block. You reach the setting by pressing
once more when the display shows “-20°C”.
Then press in order to access the setting of the next parameter.
15
F. Wind alarm
After the setting of the outdoor temperature, now provide the value for the wind protection function.
The wind alarm protects the exterior shadings from damage. If the indicated wind value is exceeded, the awning or blind is retracted and manual operation is blocked. Wind speed is indicated in m/sec (meters per second). The wind alarm is maintained for 5 minutes. If the set wind value is exceeded within these 5 minutes, the stop time starts from the beginning.
The following table (see next chapter) serves as indication in order to set the wind value. Depending on the position of the winter garden and the assembly position of the weather station, different wind values may be optimal for the protection of the shading. Observe the behaviour of the awning or blind in case of wind and correct the wind value accordingly.
The presetting for the retraction in case of wind is 4 m/sec. Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (off) in order to
deactivate the function. Then press in order to access the setting of the next parameter.
