on/o by an overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
As soon as an external "rain" signal transducer is detected, the control signal can be transferred
from the DuoFern network on the Troll Basic DuoFern.
The direction of operation in the event of rain can also be congured by an overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
The awning can be retracted (up) or used as a rain cover (down) in the event of rain.
Once the automatic rain function is active ...
◆ the timer LED [
] ashes green in a 2 second cycle.
◆ manual operation is still possible.
◆ automatic movements are no longer executed.
■ The previously received automatic movement commands are no longer carried out
but will be resumed as soon as the rain subsides.
Manual mode and the automatic wind functions are active again:
◆ as soon as a period of 15 minutes has elapsed where no rain command was received or
the registered signal transducer (e.g. DuoFern environmental sensor) deactivates the
automatic rain functions.
NOTE
◆ The automatic rain function is interrupted in the event of power failure.
◆ If the direction of rotation for rain is set to DOWN and rain is detected when the drive is
at the upper end position, then the drive moves back to the upper end position as soon
as no more rain is detected.
Behaviour of the automatic rain function when the automated solar function is
active:
◆ If the automatic rain func tion is started when the automated solar functions are active,
then the awning moves back to the sunshine position as soon as the automatic rain
function is ended, assuming the automated solar functions are still active.
■ This does not apply if the automatic wind function has been activated in the mean
time.

If you do not want the roller shutters to close fully to the lower end point, you can use this
function to congure an arbitrary position (e.g. as ventilation position).
◆ When closing automatica lly, the roller shutters wil l stop at the ventilation position,
however, they can subsequently be closed completely via manual operation.
◆ The ventilation position can be changed at any time.

23. Venetian blinds mode; brief description
i
This function enables you to use the Troll Basic DuoFern to control Venetian blinds. The Venetian
blinds mode can also be switched on/o by an overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
The following modes are possible:
◆ Jog mode
◆ Automatic wind function / tilting time
Additional Venetian blinds functions can be congured, for example, with a
HomePilot®:
◆ Standard slat position
◆ Automatic tilt after manual stop in direction "Down"
◆ Auto tilt to sunshine position
◆ Auto tilt to ventilation position
◆ Automatic tilt after moving to a target position
◆ Slat run time
◆ Motor dead time
Brief description of jog mode, see page 20.
Briefl y tapp ing th e operat ing bu ttons enables Vene tian b linds slats to be convenient ly

NOTE
Pressing the respective operating key [ Up / Down ] for an extended period causes the Troll
Basic DuoFern to automatically move the Venetian blinds to the corresponding end position.
Brief description of automatic slat adjustment function
If the Troll Basic DuoFern controls the Venetian blinds motor in the down direction until the
total running time has elapsed or the Venetian blinds motor is stopped manually, then the motor
reverses automatically for a brief period (automatic slat adjustment). This serves to position
the slats to the desired angle, in order to provide sun shading to the room.
The slat position can also be congured by a registered DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®
or DuoFern manual central operating unit).
