Technical specifications

Fitting/replacing batteries

Open the battery compartment cover. No tools are required for this operation. Insert three brand new type AAA (LR03)

1.5 V alkaline batteries from the same source and with the same expiry date.

Be sure to comply with the polarity indications shown on the remote control.

Never use rechargeable batteries.

A low battery condition is shown on the display by the ( p ) symbol.

During battery replacement operations, the date and time are retained in memory for two minutes. All programmed settings remain in memory with no time limit. If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period, we recommend removing the batteries.

Used batteries should always be recycled and never disposed of with regular waste .

Introduction

Scenarios for your home

The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets you create your own scenarios to match your needs (amount of light, degree of heat, simulating a presence, etc.). Whether wall mounted in automatic mode or hand held in manual mode, your Impresario Chronis RTS remote control will drive your products to reproduce the scenarios recorded at the right time. The animated sequences used are called “Scenarios”.

Definitions

Scenarios

A scenario lets you define a particular atmosphere for your home by combining the individual movements of various products. In a scenario, some products will receive up orders while others will receive down orders. Some will move to a so-called favourite position ”e“ (a favourite position must be memorised ahead of time: refer to the instructions for the local control points or visit the web site at www.mysomfy.com), while others will be unaffected. This way, in just one move, you can set the desired position for all of your products.

Examples:

“Wake up” scenario

To wake-up softly, with just one move, all of the roller shutters in the living areas open (kitchen, dining room, living room, etc.) while the shutter on the bedroom window will move to your preset favourite position to let in a little light while retaining a cosy atmosphere. The shutters for the children’s windows are not affected by this scenario to avoid waking them right away.

“Sun” scenario

To keep your home cool through the height of the afternoon summer sun, the roller shutters on the south-facing rooms move to the preset favourite position; the terrace awning is lowered to cast a shadow on the living room window and to protect the furniture from the harsh sunlight.

“Night time” scenario

To go to bed with peace of mind, this scenario lets you close all of the roller shutters and raise the terrace awning, with just one touch of a key. You can create up to 16 different scenarios to meet your needs and assign them the name of your choice. Each scenario can be selected individually and run manually or run automatically at a programmed time thanks to the built-in clock (for daily or weekly programming).

Two preset scenarios are available as soon as your system is set into service:

• Open-sy: this scenario sends an up order to all registered products.

• Close-sy: this scenario sends a down order to all registered products.

QUICK START GUIDE

Daily programming (typical days)

Using the scenarios created, you can assign times to some of them to create typical days. Every typical day can run up to four scenarios a day. You can freely create and name up to six typical days.

For example: “Weekday”, “Weekend”, “Away” days… Two preset typical days are available as soon as you set your

system into service: “Work-sy” and “Home-sy” (described in Table 2 in the “Programming” chapter).

Note: If your equipment includes solar sensors, the programming

of your typical days may include up to four solar sensor changes of state (activation or deactivation) in addition to the four scenarios. A day can therefore comprise four scenarios and/or four changes in solar sensor state.

Weekly programming (typical weeks)

From the typical days programmed, you can make up typical weeks. This way, for every day of the week, you can assign it a typical day of your choice, or none at all.

The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets you create three different typical weeks (Work, Vacation, Gone away…).

A preset typical week is available as soon as you set your system into service: “Week-sy” (described in Table 2 in the “Programming” chapter).

Note: The preset programs in the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control automatically

integrate each new motor paired with the remote control. These programs can be modified and deleted. If they are renamed or modified, they loose their capacity to automatically integrate any new motor paired to the remote control.

Running a scenario

Select the desired scenario using the arrow keys (n) and run it by pressing ( ). To stop a scenario that is running, press “Stop” (

g).

Automatic mode operation (on the wall mount)

Placing the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control on its wall mount activates the automatic mode.

Programmed days and weeks can be selected using the arrow keys (n). After three seconds the selected sequence is accepted by the clock.

When the remote control is placed on its wall mount, automatic mode can also be disabled.

When a day or week is being run, the next programmed event (within a maximum period of 24 hours) is indicated at the bottom of the screen. You can display the full make up of the current day by pressing (i).

To return to manual mode, take the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control off its wall mount.

PROGRAMMING

Setting into service and configuring

Prior conditions that must be met before setting into service

The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control must be set into service after all of the motor drive systems are operational. The various motors must be individually set up and paired with a local control unit. To get the full benefit from the functions offered by the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control, we strongly recommend programming favourite positions ”e“ for the motors where appropriate (refer to the instructions for the local control points or visit the web site at www.mysomfy.com).

Refer to the “Installation” section for instructions on setting into service.

To customise your Impresario Chronis RTS remote control, you can assign names to all of your scenarios, days or weeks. The names of the motors used by your installation can also be customised. Wherever necessary, the appropriate data entry screen will be displayed.

Using the data entry screen

Select the desired character using the arrow keys (n) and validate by pressing (i). The cancel key ( C ) lets you delete an incorrect character.

Select “Xx” and press (i) to choose a character type: upper or lower case.

The arrow key (

) lets you access accented characters.

Once you have finished entering the name, validate with the (ok) key.

TIP

• The (o ) keys let you move from one line of characters to the

next, faster.

• You can enter a new name in full (Enter name) or from

a preset, customisable list using (Choose name).
