the reduction in the performance of the battery. If the voltage
drops below 2 V, functions are no longer executed and nothing is
displayed.
Explanation of functions
Bidirectional radio system
A bidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to a radio
receiver and enables feedback from the radio receiver to the
transmitter. The radio signal can be sent directly to the target
receiver. If this is not possible then the radio signal is forwarded via
other bidirectional participants until the signal reaches the target
receiver. The target receiver carries out the command and sends a
confi rmation back to the transmitter.
Bidirectional radio operation is only possible if all participants are
bidirectional. Otherwise, the system is only unidirectional.
Initial operation
Press a button to switch on the hand-held transmitter and illuminate
the status display and operating mode display. The hand-held
transmitter is in automatic mode during initial operation.
Status display
A radio signal is displayed by the status display (LED ring around
the STOP button) lighting up. The various colours of the status
display mean:

Pressing the selection button in the central channel for longer
(approximately 1 second) changes the Auto or Manual operating
mode for all the individual channels. A different operating mode
for individual channels (auto and manual) is set on switching for all
channels to Auto operating mode.
Programming the transmitter
Requirement
The receiver is installed. Check whether the channel has been
deleted.
Stand in front of the blind to be programmed while programming.
1. With receivers which have already been installed, switch the
circuit breaker off and on again after a few seconds.
The receiver is now in programming mode for about 5 minutes.
2. Press the programming button P on the back of the unit briefl y
(approximately 1 second) until the status display lights for a
short time. The blind moves up and down for approximately two
minutes, showing that the receiver is in programming mode.
3. Press the UP button as soon as the blind starts moving in Open
direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display lights
briefl y.
The blind stops briefl y, starts moving again, stops and then
moves in the Down direction.
4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel
has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights
briefl y. The blind stops. The transmitter channel is programmed.
Note
The blind must be programmed again if it does not stop.
A bidirectional programming process in the hand-held
transmitter can be cancelled by pressing the STOP button for
6 seconds.
Group control unit
A group is understood to mean the control of several receivers
at the same time. The selected group is controlled by a travel
command. All 5 channels (transmitter) can be used for the group
control.
Any number of receivers can be programmed and controlled in each
channel.
Selection button
Pressing the selection button briefl y allows you to select from
5 channels. The various channels are indicated by the LEDs in the
channel indicator lighting up.
An additional channel is reserved for the central channel to which
all the individual channels are assigned automatically. When
the central channel is selected, this controls all radio channels
simultaneously. This is indicated by all fi ve LEDs lighting up.
Pressing the selection button briefl y allows you to query the
current status (automatic/manual) of the programmed receivers
(bidirectional receivers only) and the hand-held transmitter.
Pressing the selection button for longer (approximately 1 second)
switches off automatic mode of the current bidirectional channel.
The operating mode indicator lights up red. → The receiver now
only carries out manual travel commands and does not respond to
automatic travel commands.
Note
Upward travel of the receiver is initiated when the automatic
system is activated.
Pressing the selection button for longer (approximately 1 second)
switches on automatic mode of the bidirectional channel. The
operating mode indicator lights up green. → The receiver now
executes automatic and manual travel commands.

If more than 10 bidirectional receivers are being programmed at the
same time, the transmitter channel in programming mode switches
to group mode. The group mode is indicated by fast fl ashing with
pauses.
Programming in group mode is completed after a 2-minute pause or
pressing the STOP button for 6 seconds.
Note
A jogging mode for Venetian blinds for quickly reaching
receivers which are further away is not possible in a transmitter
channel with more than 10 programmed receivers.
Synchronous programming mode
For programming additional receivers to one transmitter at the same
time:
1. Press the DOWN button and the P programming button (rear of
unit) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter which has
already been programmed to the receivers. The status display
fl ashes. The receivers are now in programming mode.
2. Press the programming button P on the transmitter to be
programmed until the status display lights briefl y. The receivers
are now in programming mode (up/down movements).
3. Press the UP button as soon as the blind starts moving in Open
direction (within no more than 1 second). The status display
lights briefl y. The blinds stop briefl y, start moving again, stop and
then move downwards.
4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel
has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights
briefl y. The blinds stop moving. The transmitter channel is
programmed.
Stopping programming mode in the transmitter
Press the STOP button for at least 6 seconds until the status display
lights orange.
Programming additional transmitters
Note
If several receivers are connected to the same supply
line, then all are simultaneously in programming mode for
approximately 5 minutes after the mains power is switched on.
If the P button on the transmitter is now pressed, all the
receivers start programming mode at the same time (up/down
movements). Randomly different intervals between up/down
movements cause the receivers to become offset against one
another. The longer programming is delayed, the greater the
offset will be.
The short up/down movements can be stopped by pressing
the STOP button briefl y on a transmitter which has already
been programmed. The programming mode in the receiver is
interrupted.
The transmitter can now be assigned without having to
disconnect individual receivers. If the blind moves in the wrong
direction, delete the transmitter and program it again.
(→ see Deletion of transmitter)
For programming additional transmitters to one receiver:
1. Press the UP, DOWN buttons and the programming button P
(rear of unit) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter
which has already been programmed to the receiver. The status
display lights briefl y. The receiver is now in programming mode.
2. Press the programming button P on the transmitter to be
programmed until the status display lights briefl y. The receiver is
now in programming mode (up/down movements).
3. Press the UP button as soon as the blind starts moving in Open
direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display lights
briefl y. The blind stops briefl y, starts moving again and then
moves downwards.
4. Immediately (within no more than 1 second) after down travel
has started, press the DOWN button. The status display lights
briefl y. The blind stops. The transmitter channel is programmed.
