12. Important information prior to initial commissioning
IMPORTANT
◆ Prior to initial commissioning of the DuoFern HomeTimer, it must be ensured that the
end points are configured for all connected tubular motors and belt winders if they are
being used for controlling roller shutters / Venetian blinds.
◆ If the end points have not yet been configured, it is vital that both end points are config-
ured for all tubular motors and belt winders, as failure to do so can lead to malfunctions.
◆ In order to do so, follow the information provided in the operating manual for the respec-
tive tubular motor or belt winder.
◆ For electronic RADEMACHER tubular motors from year of manufacture 2000 onwards, the
end points can be configured with the help of the DuoFern HomeTimer, see page 60.
