18. Switching times (opening and closing times) [ / ], brief description

You can conﬁgure various opening [ ] and closing times [ ] for the Troll Comfort DuoFern in order to open or close your roller shutter automatically at your preferred times.

For this purpose, there are three switching time programmes available in menu 9.5, see page 87:

[ 1 ] Weekly switching times (factory setting)

The switching times [ / ] apply from (MO .... SO) (MON...SUN).

[ 2 ] Working day and weekend switching times

Separate switching times [ / ] for (MO .... FR) (MON...FRI) and

(SA + SON) (SAT + SUN).

[ 3 ] Individual day switching times

The switching times [ / ] can be set for every day of the week (MO / DI / MI / DO / FR / SA / SO) (MON / TUES / WED / THURS / FRI / SAT / SUN).

Doubling the switching times by activating a second switching time block

If necessary you can double the number of available opening and closing times. In order to do so, a second switching time block (n = 2) must be activated in menu 9.5 , see page 52 / 88.

If a second switching time block has been activated [ n2 ], you can select the desired switching time block [ 1 or 2 ] prior to setting the opening and closing times.

The switching times in the second switching time block [2 ]

cannot be linked to a switching time mode [ NORMAL /

ASTRO / SENSOR ].

Page 53

18. Switching times (opening and closing times) [ / ], brief description

Application example for a second switching time

You can use a second switching time, for example, to darken a child's bedroom at midday:

◆ The ﬁrst opening time has been set to 8:00 hours.

◆ The roller shutter will open at 08:00 hours

◆ The roller shutter should close again at 12:00 hours and open again at 14:30 hours.

◆ In order to do so, the second switching time block must be select- ed and the respective second opening and closing time must be set accordingly.

◆ The ﬁrst closing time has been set to 20:00 hours.

◆ The roller shutter will close at 20:00 hours.

Selecting a switching time mode

Various switching time modes can be selected when conﬁguring the opening and closing times.

The following switching time modes are possible:

◆ NORMAL

◆ ASTRO

◆ SENSOR (only for closing times)

Brief description of the switching time modes

◆ NORMAL

The roller shutter moves at the conﬁgured switching time.

For more, see next page.

Page 54

18. Switching times (opening and closing times) [ / ], brief description

◆ ASTRO

Calculation of the respective switching time by means of an astro programme

The opening and closing times are calculated in relation to the date and postcode. Subsequently they are linked to the previously conﬁgured switching times.

● Link to the opening time [ ]

The roller shutter opens at the daily calculated dawn time. The conﬁgured opening time is interpreted as “earliest at xx:xx

hours”.

● Example a:

− Dawn begins at 05:00 hours.

− The opening time has been set to 07:00 hours.

− The roller shutter will open at 07:00 hours.

● Example b:

− Dawn begins at 08:00 hours.

− The opening time has been set to 07:00 hours.

− The roller shutter will open at 08:00 hours.

● Link to the closing time [ ]

The roller shutter closes at the daily calculated dusk time. The previously conﬁgured closing time is interpreted as “latest at

xx:xx hours”.

● Example a:

− Dusk begins at 17:00 hours.

− The closing time has been set to 20:00 hours.

− Your roller shutter will close at 17:00 hours

● Example b:

− Dusk begins at 22:00 hours.

− The closing time has been set to 20:00 hours.

− Your roller shutter will close at 20:00 hours

Page 55

18. Switching times (opening and closing times) [ / ], brief description

◆ SENSOR (only for closing times [ ] )

The closing time is controlled by a light sensor in relation to the level of brightness.

In addition, the measured dusk value is linked to the previously conﬁgured closing time. The conﬁgured closing time is interpreted as “latest at xx:xx hours”.

● Example a:

− In winter dusk begins, for example, at approx. 17:00 hours.

− The closing time has been set to 20:00 hours.

− Your roller shutter will close at 17:00 hours

● Example b:

− In summer dusk begins, for example, at approx. 22:00 hours.

− The closing time has been set to 20:00 hours.

− Your roller shutter will close at 20:00 hours

You have the option of deactivating individual switching

times as required. In order to do so, the value [ OFF ] can

be selected after the value [ 23:59 ].

Subsequently the switching time will not be executed (even in ASTRO or SENSOR modes).

20. Automatic dusk function, brief description

The automatic dusk function causes the roller shutter to close automatically to the lower end point or conﬁgured ventilation position.

You can choose between two automatic dusk functions:

◆ Automatic dusk function with astro programme = switching time mode [ ASTRO ]

◆ Automatic dusk function with light sensor = switching time mode [ SENSOR ]

Automatic dusk function with astro programme

The dusk time is recalculated every day based on the geographical location and the current date (deﬁned by the conﬁgured postcode). This means that it is not necessary to continu-

ously readjust the closing time throughout the year.

Conﬁguring a custom oﬀset period

An oﬀset can be conﬁgured between -60 and +60 minutes in order to customise the calculated dusk time to your personal preferences.

A light sensor is not required for this function!

Page 66

26.2 Menu 9.2 - Conﬁguring the motor running time

Conﬁguring the running time allows speciﬁc targeted positions to be assumed based on the running time and roller shutter position.

The run time setting must be conﬁgured if:

◆ You intend to use the ventilation position function, see page 84.

◆ You intend to use the sunshine position function (only if automatic slat function is activated, see page 92).

◆ You intend to conﬁgure and move to any target position , see page 46.

The running time can be detected directly with the Troll Comfort DuoFern or you may, for example, measure and conﬁgure it with the help of a timer.

Measurement information and run time setting:

◆ Tubular motor running times can vary depending on temperature. For this reason, targeted movement to a speciﬁc position is subject to certain tolerances.

◆ The running time must be conﬁgured as precisely as possible in order for the desired positions to be reliably assumed.

◆ The running time must be reconﬁgured if the end points are changed.

◆ If the running time is conﬁgured, for example, with the help of a timer, then the speed should be measured in the up direction and approx. 10% should be added.

26.3 Menu 9.3 - Conﬁguring the ventilation position

If you do not want the roller shutter to close fully to the lower end point, you can use this function to conﬁgure an arbitrary position (e.g. as the ventilation position).

When closing automatically, the roller shutter will stop at the ventilation position, however, it can subsequently be closed completely via manual operation.

The running time must be conﬁgured prior to setting the

ventilation position, see page 82.

1. Open menu 9.3.

2. Activate / deactivate the

ventilation position and conﬁrm.

On = ventilation position on * Oﬀ = ventilation position oﬀ **

26.5 Menu 9.5 - Conﬁguring the switching time programme

The number of opening and closing times that can be conﬁgured depends on the desired switching time programme selected in this menu.

There are three switching time programmes available:

[ 1 ] Weekly switching times (factory setting)

The switching times [ / ] apply from (MO .... SO) (MON...SUN).

[ 2 ] Working day and weekend switching times

Separate switching times [ / ] for (MO .... FR) (MON...FRI) and

(SA + SON) (SAT + SUN).

[ 3 ] Individual day switching times

The switching times [ / ] can be set for every day of the week (MO / DI / MI / DO / FR / SA / SO) (MON / TUES / WED / THURS / FRI / SAT / SUN).

Doubling the switching times [ / ] by activating a second switching time block:

If you want to double the number of opening and closing times, then you must activate a second switching time block (n = 2) here.

After this has been activated, you can subsequently conﬁgure opening and closing times for both switch time blocks, see page 52.

Page 88

26.5 Menu 9.5 - Conﬁguring the switching time programme

1. Open menu 9.5.

2. Select and conﬁrm the desired

week programme.

3. Conﬁgure and conﬁrm the number of

switching time blocks.

n1 = one switching time block is active * n2 = two switching time blocks are active

26.6 Menu 9.6 - Conﬁguring the blockage detection

Blockage detection can only be used in combination

with a tubular motor with mechanical end point setting.

1. Open menu 9.6.

2. Activate/deactivate the blockage detection

and conﬁrm.

On = blockage detection on * Oﬀ = blockage detection oﬀ **

Motor types | Ø | Power

1 06 | 35 mm | 6 Nm 1 10 | 35 mm | up to 10 Nm 2 10 | 45 mm | up to 10 Nm 2 20 | 45 mm | up to 20 Nm 2 30 | 45 mm | up to 30 Nm 2 40 | 45 mm | up to 40 Nm 2 50 | 45 mm | up to 50 Nm

If the installed motor type is unknown, please select:

1 06 for roller shutters with an area of up to 1.5 m

2 30 for larger roller shutters

4. Set and conﬁrm the sensitivity.

Sensitivity: 1 = low 6 = high

Test runs should be made to ascertain the highest possible

sensitivity in order to protect the roller shutter in the event

of blockage.

It may be necessary to customise the cut-oﬀ sensitivity

depending on the properties of the roller shutter (weight,

running characteristics etc.).

5. Activate/ deactivate the reversing function

after a blockage is detected.

On = reversing function on Oﬀ = reversing function oﬀ

Page 91

26.6 Menu 9.6 - Conﬁguring the blockage detection

Automatic reversing function in the event of a blockage

In the event of a blockage, the motor immediately runs in the opposite direction for approx. 2 seconds to release the roller shutter.

More information about the blockage detection:

◆ If longer connecting leads are used (>5 m), it is possible that the blockage detection system will fail to work correctly due to external interference.

◆ It is possible that the motor will be switched oﬀ by the blockage detection system when moving out of the end points when using mechanical motors with high switching hysteresis. Blockage detection must be deactivated for this type of motor.

Some motors can trigger undesired reversing when

reaching the end positions (e.g. atypical internal motor

wiring, long cables etc.). In such cases it is recommended to deactivate the reversing function.

If the motor type cannot be precisely determined, then

a suitable setting for motor type and sensitivity must be

determined by trial and error.

26.7 Menu 9.7 - Setting the Venetian blind mode

This function enables you to use the Troll Comfort DuoFern to control Venetian blinds.

The following conﬁgurations are possible:

◆ Jog mode

◆ Automatic slat adjustment

◆ Tilting time

Additional Venetian blind functions can be conﬁgured, for example, with a HomePilot®:

◆ Standard slat position

◆ Automatic tilt to “Down” direction after manual stop

◆ Automatic tilt to sunshine position

◆ Automatic tilt to ventilation position

◆ Automatic tilt after moving to a target position

◆ Slat runtime and motor dead time

Brief description of jog mode

Tapping the operating buttons brieﬂy enables Venetian blind slats to be conveniently conﬁgured.

In order to conveniently move the Venetian blinds to the end points, actuate the control button for 1 second longer than the conﬁgured tilting time. Once the button is released, the Venetian blinds will move to the end point without stopping.

Brief description of the automatic slat adjustment function

If the Troll Comfort DuoFern controls the motor in the down direction until the total running time has elapsed or the Venetian blind motor is stopped manually, then the motor reverses automatically for a brief period (automatic slat adjustment function). This serves to position the slats to the desired angle in order to provide sun shading to the room.
