COMMAND SEQUENCES EXAMPLE (BLUE BUS TDS RX)
COMMANDS FROM A REMOTE CONTROL (BLUE BUS TDS RX)
Most of the command sequences have three distinct steps, at the end of which the motor indicates if
the step has been concluded positively or not, by turning in different ways. This section is provided to
demonstrate the motor indications. The buttons must be pressed as shown in the sequence, without
taking more than 4 seconds between one step and the next. If more than 4 seconds are taken, the
command is not accepted and the sequence must be repeated.
Command sequence example:
It is possible to control the Blue Bus TDS RX control unit by means of a Cherubini remote control. Follow
the instructions shown in the following pages for programming. As far as all programming sequences
are concerned, we recommend also consulting the remote control instruction leaet.
As we can see from the example, when the sequence ends positively, the motor returns to its starting
position in one long rotation. In fact, two short rotations in the same direction correspond to one long
rotation in the opposite direction.The motor returns to the starting position even when the sequence is
not completed; in this case by performing one or two short rotations.

SETTING THE FIRST REMOTE CONTROL (BLUE BUS TDS RX)
SETTING THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF THE MOTOR (BLUE BUS TDS RX)
This operation can only be performed when the control unit is new, or after a total delete of the memory.
T1: First remote control to be set
This operation is necessary if the rotation direction of the motor does not match to the UP and DOWN
buttons of the remote control or of the control switch.
If a Wind-sensor is connected, it’s absolutely necessary and important to set the rotation direction. (To
avoid damage of the awning!!)
Setting the rotation direction using the button RESET/AUX:
Interchanging the brown and black motor wire on the terminals of the control unit, will also reverse
the rotation direction.
The control unit will keep this setting even after complete memory clearing!!
During this step, power up only one control unit at time!

TEST MODE (WINDTEC/WINDTEC LUX)
To activate the TEST function, hold the SET button down for around 2 seconds, until the awning opens
for 10 seconds and closes briey to conrm that the test has been activated.The Test function lasts for
3 minutes, during which the wind and sunlight threshold settings can be checked, without waiting for
activation times. After 3 minutes, the WindTec sensor returns to normal operational mode. During the
wind-alarm the blue led inside the control unit is on.

WIND FUNCTION TEST (WINDTEC, WINDTEC LUX)
To avoid errors during the wind function test, it is suggested that the sunlight function be deactivated.
By spinning the anemometer ns, when the speed detected by the sensor exceeds the threshold set, the
motor commands the closing of the awnings.
SUN FUNCTION TEST (WINDTEC LUX)
Make sure that the sunlight function is on. When the sensor detects a change in the sunlight intensity,
it opens the awning if the sunlight intensity goes above the threshold set, or it closes the awning if the
light intensity goes below the threshold set. It is possible to repeat this test several times, so as to nd
the desired adjustment levels precisely.

TEST FOR WIND-SENSOR (WINDTEC SC)
This function is useful to check the correct connection to the control unit and the rotation direction in
case of wind-alarm.
Activate the TEST function, with the sequence B+C, C. The awning opens for 10 seconds and closes
briey to conrm that the test mode is activated. Move the anemometer blades by hand, the motor
performs short moves in closing direction. If the direction is not right it’s necessary to invert the rotation
direction. To quit the test mode press any button from the remote control. During the wind-alarm the
blue led inside the control unit is on.
WIND SENSOR WINDTEC SC
(BLUE BUS TDS - BLUE BUS TDS RX)
This kind of Wind-sensor must be wired to the control unit on the indicated terminals, without
respecting the polarity. Exceeding the set level the control unit will automatically perform the
command associated to the UP button of the remote control. So ensure that the rotation direction
corresponds correctly to the buttons of the remote control. If not it’s absolutely necessary to set the
rotation direction. The “Wind-alarm” time is 8 minutes during which the control unit will not accept
any command. During the wind-alarm the blue led inside the control unit blinks.

SHORT-TERM SETTING OF A REMOTE CONTROL
This function makes it possible to store a remote control temporarily, for example, with the purpose of
setting the limit switches during assembly in the factory. A later nal saving of the remote control will
be possible using the appropriate command sequence (see: “SETTING THE FIRST REMOTE CONTROL”).
The operations described below can be carried out only when the control unit has just come out of the
factory or after a full memory clearing (see: “FULL MEMORY CLEARING”). The control unit makes the
following operations possible only within the time limits described in order to make sure that the short-
term setting is used only in the installation or factory setting phase and not during daily use, the control
unit enables the following operations only within the time limits described below.
Power up the control unit, make sure that no other control units having an empty memory are powered
up in the same operating range.
Within 30 seconds after start, press the B and C buttons simultaneously until the motor gives a
conrmation signal.
The remote control will remain stored for 5 minutes, while the control unit is powered up. After 5
minutes or when the control unit has its power cut off, the remote control will be cancelled.

COMMANDS FROM THE CONTROL SWITCH
OPERATION OF LOCAL COMMANDS
The Blue Bus TDS and the Blue Bus TDS RX control units make it possible to control the motor both
locally and centrally, when the instructions shown in the following pages are followed. The switches
must be interlocked mechanically and electrically to avoid the UP and DOWN arriving at the same time.
Both commands must be of the unstable type (push button). When the push buttons are released, the
contacts open. Should the rotation direction of the motor not correspond with the push buttons of the
switch (for example, if you press “UP” and the awning goes down), carry out the operation described
on the paragraph SETTING THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF THE MOTOR.
The motor can be controlled locally by means of a switch connected with the LOC CMD terminals of
the J3 connector of the control unit, by means of three wires (up, down, common) or by using a remote
control, if the module is of the Blue Bus TDS RX type.
By pressing one of the LOC CMD push buttons, the motor moves in the desired direction, until the limit
switch is reached and stops according to the settings of Dip Switch 1.
In the Blue Bus TDS RX module, the remote
control controls the motor locally. stop

OPERATION OF CENTRALIZED COMMANDS
The module can be controlled centrally by means of a switch connected with the CENTR CMD terminals
of the J3 connector of the control unit through three wires (up, down, common) and by bringing the
switch to a level parallel to all the boards one wishes to control. Otherwise it is possible to centralize
modules in a sequence using the CHERUBINI 2-wire BUS present on the J2 connector. Centralized
commands are delayed by 1 second, have priority over local commands and can move the motor only
UP or DOWN. If one of the two push-buttons of the CENTR CMD is kept pressed for at least 1 second,
the motor moves in the desired direction, until the limit switch is reached.
The command is signalled to the following module through the SEQ OUT signal of the J2 connector
according to the settings of Dip Switch 2.

SPECIAL COMMANDS (USING MODULES A510008)
This operation mode is useful when one intends to use the Blue Bus TDS module to control one or
more Cherubini A510008 expansion modules.
The Blue Bus TDS module is equipped with a current sensor able to manage switching off the exits
when the connected motor reaches the limit switch.To use this management mode, the L1 terminal of
the J1 connector on the Blue Bus TDS must be connected to the terminal 1 of the CN1 connector on the
A510008 module. If this management mode is not being used, the module controls the exits designed
for the motor with a standard time-out of 180 seconds.
“TIME-OUT” refers to the operation time of the control unit from the moment in which the command
is given (opening or closing). The opening/closing time of all the awnings connected must always be
shorter than the time-out time.
