Congratulations on choosing WAREMA Quatronic dialog®!
You now own an advanced control system for comfortably controlling and
operating up to 4facades with different products (external venetian blinds,
awnings, roller shutters, etc.).
You can operate your sun shading product manually or leave operation entirely to the automatic control of the Quatronic dialog.
The Quatronic dialog protects your sun shading product against damage due
to the weather conditions and supports you in operating the sun shading system on a daily basis.
Safety functions and
comfort functions
The Quatronic dialog controls your sun shading product on the basis of the
following variables:
Wind
Precipitation
Brightness
Inside and outside temperature
Humidity
Time
Because many aspects of sun shading systems will be new to you, we designed the Quatronic dialog to guide you through the settings.
The name "dialog" stands for a high degree of user-friendliness: the Quatronic dialog not only shows you the current measurements and move commands, but also provides you with a guide and help text at all times.

2.2 Intended use
The WAREMA Quatronic dialog is used for the control of motorised sun
shading products. A variety of sun shading products and sensors can be
connected to the control.
WARNING
Please obtain the approval of the manufacturer if you have questions
regarding the connection of devices not listed in these instructions.
All control devices are intended to be installed indoors unless otherwise
specified.
WARNING
The approval of the manufacturer must be obtained for uses outside of the
purposes listed here. The consequences of unintended use may include
personal injuries of the operator or of third parties as well as property
damage to the control panel itself, to connected devices or to moveable
mechanical parts of the entire system.
Therefore use our product only as intended.
2.3 Target group
These instructions are addressed to persons operating, adjusting or commissioning the control. The installation instructions (art. no. 890178) are available for persons installing, wiring or establishing a mains connection for the
WAREMA Quatronic dialog, including all necessary parts.
WARNING
Commissioning or operation by insufficiently qualified and knowledgeable
persons may cause serious damage to the system or even personal
injuries!
Commissioning may therefore only be performed by properly trained quali-
fied technicians. These technicians must be able to recognize sources of
danger that may be caused by the mechanical, electrical or electronic equipment.
These qualified technicians must know and understand the content of these
instructions.
2.4 Retrofitting and
modifications
We have designed and built the WAREMA Quatronic dialog with reliability
and safety in mind. All required settings are made at initial commissioning.
Modification of the unit parameters is therefore only required when the characteristics of the control need to be adjusted, changes are made to the sensor equipment or the control itself is replaced.
WARNING
Retrofitting and modifications may impact the safety of the system or
reduce its effectiveness! Possible consequences may include death,
serious or light injuries, property or environmental damages.
Therefore, contact us or your specialist dealer before retrofitting or changing
the system or the unit parameters if you cannot find any information on the
corresponding topic in the control unit documentation. This is the only way to
ensure trouble-free retrofitting/modification.

WAREMA Quatronic dialog®
Operating instructions
Exercise special care when components of different versions are combined
or when existing components are replaced by older/newer products with a
different scope of functions or a different software version.
2.5 Working safely
WARNING
The electrical installation must be performed by a certified electrician in
accordance with the electrical installation regulations published by the
Association of German Electrical Engineers (VDE 0100) or the standards
and regulations of the country in which the device is being installed. The
specialist must observe the installation instructions included with the
electrical device.
Whenever you intend to carry out work on building facades on which motoroperated sun shading products are installed, carry out the following steps
first:
Switch the system to a de-energized state.
Make sure that the unit has been sufficiently secured against unauthorized or
unintentional reactivation.
In any case, use suitable safety devices for personal protection.
Never place or store any items in the motion area of automatically operated
mechanisms (e.g. ladder against a house wall with an articulated arm awning).
WARNING
States of danger, malfunctions and material damage to the system are
possible due to improperly executed mounting, connection, repair or
maintenance work.
Such work may only be carried out by the service department or by author-
ized qualified personnel.
Only use such spare/replacement parts for maintenance or repair work as
have been approved by the manufacturer of the system.
WARNING
Dangerous situations, malfunctions and property damages to the unit
are possible by cutting connections during operation! All connection are
required for proper operation of the control.
Therefore, switch off the entire system before attaching or detaching connect-
ing lines.
WARNING
Danger to life and risk of property damage through sudden movement of
the mechanism!

2.6 System faults
WARNING
Malfunctions may lead to dangerous situations or to property damage
on the product. During a malfunction, your sun protection/visual privacy
may no longer be adequately protected due to the safety functions of the
Quatronic dialog. The Quatronic dialog does not acoustically or visually
signal a malfunction.
If possible, raise your sun protection/visual privacy unit.
Switch the Quatronic dialog off at the main switch (e.g. circuit breaker) and
immediately notify your dealer's service department of the malfunction.
CAUTION
The entire unit becomes non-functional if power fails. In this case, your sun
protection/visual privacy unit can no longer be protected against the weather.
If thunder showers or storms have been forecast, raise your sun protection/
visual privacy unit using the "Up" button and switch off the automatic system
using the "Automatic" button as a precaution. If the sun protection/visual privacy unit is raised, a power failure generally does not present a risk.

Operating instructions
3 Commissioning
Commissioning of the Quatronic dialog is described in detail in the Installation Instructions. The device will only function correctly if the settings are
adjusted during commissioning to the products being controlled.
NOTE If your specialist for sun shading products had the Quatronic dialog installed
by a certified electrician, all device parameters have been set.
The comfort functions are adjusted to your requirements during commissioning.
CAUTION
Do not make changes to the safety settings that may result in damage to
your sun shading products.
The safety functions of the Quatronic dialog protect the controlled sun shading products against damage due to the weather conditions. All parameters
were set correctly during commissioning.
3.1 Operational readiness
Approx. 5 minutes after the supply voltage is switched on, the current time,
day of the week and date are automatically read in via the radio clock aerial
connected to the wind/photo/radio clock sensor. (The question mark behind
the time disappears. If reception is disturbed, the question mark behind the
time does not disappear. See Chapter 8.3 on page 62).
When the time on the Quatronic dialog is set correctly, the device is ready for
operation.
3.2 Languages
The Quatronic dialog supports multiple languages. The display language can
only be selected with the supply voltage switched off. This procedure is described in the installation instructions and should be carried out by an expert
during commissioning.
3.3 Reference
All factory settings are listed in Chapter 16 on page 70. A table for entering the
individual settings can be found in Chapter 17 on page 71.

The weekday and time continue running independently of radio clock reception. Thus, the time-switched functions will continue to operate properly.
The date is not relevant to the function of the Quatronic dialog.

6 Safety functions
CAUTION
Do not make changes to the safety settings that may result in damage to
your sun shading products.
The safety functions of the Quatronic dialog protect the controlled sun shading products against damage due to the weather conditions. All parameters
were set correctly during commissioning.
6.1 Wind monitor
Strong winds can cause severe damage the sun shading products. Therefore, the Quatronic dialog contains a permanent wind monitor as a safety
function that protects your awnings and external venetian blinds against
storm damage.
In a windstorm, the sun shading products are automatically raised, and can
be lowered neither by hand not by the comfort functions (sun control, time
switch, ...). Whether or not there is a windstorm is decided by the Quatronic
dialogue on the basis of limit values (settings).
The Quatronic dialog immediately shows you when the wind UP command is
executed:
Position:
Cause: Wind Wind Wind Wind
When the storm dies down, the following display appears:
Position: Upper Upper Upper Upper
Cause: Wind Wind Wind Wind
The comfort functions (sun control, time switch,...) and manual operation become available again.
To prevent every gust of wind from immediately triggering a "wind alarm" or
a brief pause in a windstorm from disabling the "wind alarm", the Quatronic
dialog works with on and off delay periods.

If the wind speed drops below the set limit value before the on delay expires,
the on delay stops running.
The next time the limit value is exceeded, the on delay begins running again
from zero. If the wind speed remains above the limit value until the on delay
expires, the wind monitor is activated, which means that the sun shading
products are raised and the comfort functions and manual operation are
blocked.
If the wind reading drops below the set wind speed limit, the off delay begins
running.
NOTE If the wind speed remains below the limit value until the off delay expires, the
preselected comfort functions, including manual operation, are enabled and
new measurements are started for the comfort functions (e.g. sun control).
NOTE If a wind speed of 20 m/s is exceeded, the sun shading product moves to

6.1.3 Wind sensor allocation
The Quatronic dialog is able to control your sun shading products on the basis of four wind readings, i.e. 1 to 4 wind sensors can be connected.
The Quatronic dialog is delivered with a wind/photo/radio clock sensor. If
you connect it as a "Wind sensor 1", all facades must be set to wind sensor1.
Example Below is an example in which an additional wind sensor is connected:
Sensor Wind 1 Sensor Wind 2
Facade 1 Facade 2 Facade 4 Facade 3
You connect an additional wind sensor (see the installation instructions, as
sensor 2) that you would like to allocate to facade 3:
You now change the settings of the Quatronic dialog as shown in the
Wind sensor allocation submenu that you open via the selection menu by
pressing the button.
Wind sensor 1 1 2 1
allocation: CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4
If several sensors are connected, for example, and you would like the maximum wind speed to always be used for control at facade 2, set facade 2
(F 2) to 1-4.
NOTE At vacant wind sensor inputs, the readings are interpreted as 0 m/s.

6.1.4 Wind test
If the wind sensor or a line is damaged, the Quatronic dialog cannot evaluate wind readings and the wind monitoring function is not active. To prevent
damage to your sun shading products in this situation, you can activate the
"wind test".
If the Quatronic dialog does not receive a signal from the wind sensor in 99
hours, it is assumed that the sensor is defective. All sun shading products for
which the wind test is active are raised. The following message appears in
the display of the Quatronic dialog:
ATTENTION: No signal from wind sensors
in last 99h. Please check it!
WARNING
During this display, the comfort functions are not activated. The local
operating elements are not functional. The unit becomes functional again
after an up or down button is pressed at the central control unit.
WARNING Note that if this occurs in your absence (on holiday,...), the sun
shading products will no longer be moved automatically.

6.2 Rain monitor
While external venetian blinds and roller shutters are relatively resistant to
precipitation, all fabric products such as articulated arm awnings and conservatory awnings must be protected against precipitation. If you have set
any of these awnings in your Quatronic dialog as a product, the precipitation
monitor is automatically set for these as a safety function. If you wish, you
can also enable the precipitation monitor for your external venetian blinds
and roller shutters.
When precipitation (rain, snow, drizzle) falls on the precipitation sensor, the
sun shading products are raised.
The preselected comfort functions and manual operation are locked.
When there is precipitation, the display changes to Position and Cause. The
following message appears for the corresponding facade:
Position: Lower Upper
Cause: ManOp Rain Rain Rain
Rain in the display stands for rain monitoring.
Once the rain sensor has dried again and the delay set in the sensor has
expired, the preselected comfort functions and manual operation are enabled
again, as indicated by Position = Upper.

7 Comfort functions
The comfort functions are for the automatic control of your sun shading
products or other connected products. They can be set separately for each
channel. Experienced users can adjust the control here to suit their particular
preferences.
CAUTION Changing operator settings may impact the safety of the unit
or reduce its effectiveness! Please consult a specialist if you are not sure
about the effects of a modification.
7.1 Sun control
The sun control is one of the chief comfort functions of the
WAREMA Quatronic dialog, as controlling the sun shading products on the
basis of brightness is a fundamental requirement.
The function works to shade your rooms when the sunlight becomes too
strong and later lets more light in as the sunlight becomes weaker. The
strength of the sunlight is measured by the Quatronic dialog using four photo
sensors that are integrated in the wind sensor.
If the photo reading exceeds the set DOWN limit, the on delay begins running.
The following display appears:
Brightness display: The upper line shows the brightness in kLux. Sun flashes
in the lower line:
Brightness: 18kLx 31kLx 20Lx 50Lx
Status: Cloud Sun Dusk Dawn
When the on delay expires, the sun shading products are lowered.
For the External venetian blind or Roller shutter setting:
After the DOWN run time expires, the slats are adjusted to the preselected
slat angle (see Chapter 8.2 on page 59)
The display then automatically changes to Position and Cause:
Position: Lower Upper Upper
Cause: ManOp Sun Rain ManOp
If the photo reading drops below the UP limit value, the off delay begins
running.
Brightness display: The upper line shows the brightness in kLux. Cloud flashes in the status line:
Brightness: 10kLx 18kLx 20Lx 50Lx
Status: Cloud Cloud Dusk Dawn
When the off delay expires, the sun shading products are raised.

If the photo reading exceeds the DOWN limit value, the on delay begins running.
If the DOWN limit value is exceeded, the sun shading product is lowered after the on delay expires.
If the reading drops below the DOWN limit value during the on delay period,
the on delay stops running.
If the photo reading drops below the UP limit value, the off delay begins running.
If the reading continues to lie below the UP limit value, the sun shading product is raised after the off delay expires.
If the reading exceeds the UP limit value during the off delay, the off delay
stops and does not begin running again until the reading drops back down
below the limit value.
NOTE The UP and DOWN move commands triggered by the sun control are only
executed after a change in the light conditions. After a wind alarm, the sun
control starts the evaluation process anew.
This has the advantage that the sun control is unable to trigger a series of
consecutive DOWN move commands whenever the sunlight changes and
thus meets your requirements for personal comfort (e.g. Chapter 6, "Manual

7.1.3 Photo sensor allocation
The wind/photo/radio clock sensor contains 4 photo sensors for the evaluation of 4 different building corners (facades). These sensors are allocated according to their connection to the corresponding terminals (see "Installation
Instructions"). You can now assign one or all photo sensors to each of your
facades.
Photo sensor 1-4 2 3 4
allocation: CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4
When shading the roof of a conservatory, it is recommended to assign sensors 1-4 to this "facade".
In this case, the maximum readings from each of the connected sensors are
evaluated.

WAREMA Quatronic dialog®
Operating instructions
7.2 Dawn/dusk control
The dawn/dusk control comfort function gives you the option of raising the
sun shading products on your building at dawn and lowering them at dusk,
and to program this behaviour individually for spring, summer, autumn and
winter days. The Quatronic dialog can determine, on the basis of changes in
brightness and intensity, whether the sun is rising or setting, without being
deceived by a cloud that temporarily obscures the sun. The dawn/dusk control and the sun control both use the daytime or nighttime brightness values
via the connected photo sensor. The dawn/dusk control only uses the light
values between 0 and 99 Lux, while the sun control relies on the values between 1,000 and 99,999 Lux.

7.3 Temperature control
The temperature control of the Quatronic dialog is equipped with inside and
outside thermometers - also referred to as temperature sensors - and can
control your sun shading products according to the current temperature. This
lets you use your sun shading products to influence the temperature in your
rooms. The temperature control makes two operating modes available. One
mode lets you raise or lower the sun shading products on the basis of a
certain temperature. The second mode lets you use the temperature control
to switch on and off the sun control. This lets you independently control the
effects of the light and heat produced by the sun's radiation.
The two operating modes of the temperature control are:
The temperature control triggers an UP/DOWN move command.
The temperature control switches the sun control on or off.
7.3.1 Setting the temperature
control
The following parameters can be set for the temperature control:
Out = Outside temperature below limit value triggers an "Up"
move command.
Out = Outside temperature above limit value triggers a "Down"
move command.
In = Inside temperature below limit value triggers an "Up" move
command.
In
= Inside temperature above limit value triggers a "Down"
move command.
InOM = Inside temperature switches sun control on/off or triggers a
direct move command
OutOM = Outside temperature switches sun control on/off or triggers

By triggering a direct move command using the temperature control, you can
control your sun shading products according to certain temperatures (inside
or outside) and thus influence the temperature in your rooms.
Under the InOM and OutOM menu items, you can switch on the direct control
for the respective facade, separately for the inside and outside temperatures.
Subsequently, your sun shading products will move according to the temperature limit values you define.
If the inside or outside temperature exceeds the DOWN limit value, the temperature control triggers a DOWN move command.
The display then changes to Position and Cause.
Position: Upper Upper
Cause: Temp Rain Rain Temp
The following display appears after the move command is completed:

7.3.3 The temperature control
switches on/off the sun
control
The sun is the most economical heat source we have. It is not always to
your best advantage to block out the sun as soon as the first rays of sunlight
enter the rooms in your building or in your conservatory, and to compensate
this with higher heating costs. Therefore, you can optionally equip your Quatronic dialog with an inside and outside thermometer and use the temperature
control in combination with the sun control.
WARNING
With this setup, your sun shading products are not lowered in the
presence of strong sunlight until the desired inside temperature has been
reached.
Under the InOM and OutOM menu items, you can use the temperature control
to switch on the sun control for the respective facade, separately for the inside and outside temperatures. Subsequently, the sun control acts according
to the temperature limit values you define.

Limit values:
Normally, the DOWN limit value (Out or In) must be larger than the UP
limit value (Out or In): If the temperature reading exceeds the DOWN limit
value, the DOWN move command is triggered or the sun control is switched
on.
If the temperature reading drops below the UP limit value, an UP move command is triggered or the sun control is switched off and an UP move command is triggered.
NOTE The temperature control has no delays since temperatures change slowly.

7.4 Humidity control
If you wish to control the humidity in your building or conservatory, for example to create an appropriate climate for your plants, the Quatronic dialogue
provides a humidity sensor and connectivity for this purpose. For example,
you can use it to connect a roof window or fan. On the basis of the limit
value, the Quatronic dialog can then open and close the window or switch
the fan on and off. To connect devices that are unrelated to sun shading
products, contact your specialist for sun shading products.
If the humidity exceeds the DOWN limit value, the humidity control triggers a
DOWN move command.
The display then changes to Position and Cause.
Position: Upper Upper

7.6 Comfort timer
In some cases, the comfort functions are not ideal for your particular requirements. This usually occurs in non-standard applications.
Example
On one of the facades of your building, normal lighting, as it occurs on the
other facades, only takes place between 11:00 and 15:00; otherwise, this
"problem facade" is shaded by trees or a neighbouring building.
The sun shading products should not be moved on weekends.
The sun shading products should only be controlled on the basis of the in-
side temperature or sunlight in the mornings because the room is not used
in the afternoon.
And so on...
To be able to solve these types of problems with the Quatronic dialog, it
provides a comfort timer feature. This feature lets you control all comfort
functions on the basis of the time of day. You can also differentiate between
weekdays and weekends.
If you need to switch off the comfort functions temporarily, such as during a
garden party, while you are on holiday, when cleaning, etc., you can also globally switch off the automatic functions by hand.

When the Quatronic dialog went through the automatic commissioning routine, it set the products on all facades to the articulated arm awning for safety
reasons. To adapt the Quatronic dialog to your needs, you can now set up
the products (roller shutters, external venetian blinds, pleated blinds, awnings) you have on the individual facades.
Each of these products has different properties. Therefore, they respond differently to wind, require different turn or run times, or may be located indoors,
thus not requiring rain or wind protection. To save you from having to enter
all of the individual product-specific settings and limit values in the Quatronic
dialog, the Quatronic dialog performs these tasks for you. The necessary
values have already been stored in the Quatronic dialog for many products.
All of the product-specific settings can be globally programmed at the touch
of a button.

8.2 Run time and turn time
When you lower your sun shading products, there is no need to sit in the
dark. You can, for example, automatically lower the sun shading products
half way or leave only a narrow opening (light band). When using external
venetian blinds, you can set the slats to an angle that will still allow a sufficient amount of light to enter so that you do not need to use artificial light.
These settings are controlled via run times and turn times in the Quatronic
dialog. You can set run times to the nearest second at each facade and also
set any technically possible slat angle via a time entry.
NOTE The run time of the sun shading product is set to an average value at the fac-
tory. It can be adjusted to the run time of the product actually in use (see the
"Factory settings" chapter in the installation instructions).

time is too short, the sun shading product does not move all the way to the
limit position.
By setting the DOWN run time accordingly, you can obtain a light band (i.e.
the sun shading product does not move all the way down to the lower limit
position).
Ideally, the set run time is identical to the actual run time of the sun shading
product.
A run time of 99:59 minutes is equivalent to a continuous command.
CONTINUOUS appears in the display instead.
A run time of 00:00 is equivalent to a jog mode, i.e. when a move command
is triggered, the sun shading product only moves as long as the arrow key is
activated. OFF appears in the display.
NOTE If the run time is set to OFF, the comfort functions do not take effect.

8.2.3 Turn time
The automatic turning control activates a brief (0.1 - 9.9 s) UP command (=
turn time) after the sun shading products have reached the lower limit position. Whether or not the turning is actually executed depends on what caused
the DOWN command. See Chapter 8.2.4.
NOTE If the set DOWN run time is longer than the actual product run time, the sun
shading products remain in the lower limit position until the turning takes
place.
When using the External venetian blind or Pleated blind product setting, the turn setting can be used to set a slat angle of your choice. The turn
time can also be used to open roller shutters being used as a sun shading
system by a crack after they are lowered.
8.2.4 Turn mode
Whether or not the turning is actually executed depends what caused the
DOWN command. The causes that can be programmed are manual, sun and
time switch control.
These causes can also be combined:

S Sun
