Lighting Control
Pressing the lighting key displays the light icon on screen, as well as ALL or 1-x by
default (x being the number of lighting groups managed).
You can then select the lighting group to be controlled by successively pressing the lighting
key (ALL or 1-x corresponds to the simultaneous selection of all the lighting groups).
Once the lighting group is selected, press or to turn the selected lights respectively
on and off, or to increase and decrease the lighting if your installation uses gradual lighting.
Sunblinds Control
Pressing the sunblind key displays the sunblinds icon on screen, as well as ALL or
1-x by default (x being the number of sunblinds groups managed).
You can then select the sunblinds group to be controlled by successively pressing the
sunblind key (ALL or 1-x corresponds to the simultaneous selection of all the sunblinds
groups).
Once the lighting group is selected, press or to respectively raise or lower the
selected sunblinds. Depending on the options and the type of sunblinds, you might achieve
the tilt by keeping the tilt key pressed. Each successive push changes the direction of
the rotation.

well as the last set value, unless the user’s setting storing has been deactivated by the
building manager.

Occupancy Management
In order to optimize the energy efficiency of the building while preserving its occupants’
comfort, the Building Management System is scheduled according to standard occupancy
hours (for example, the lights are turned off and sunblinds are closed when the building is
unoccupied). You can nevertheless manually select the occupancy mode if the scheduled
program does not match the actual occupancy status of the room:
Press to launch the settings matching an occupied room.
Press to launch the settings matching an unoccupied room.
Engaging Occupied mode does not necessarily lead to immediate modification of
the system
Pressing can also be used to launch automatic settings after any manual
modification of one of the parameters.
Test Mode
You can visualize active functions and battery status by pressing the tilt key , unless you
are in Sunblind Menu and tilt is active on your remote control :
The active function icons flash on the right side of the screen
The battery status is displayed at the bottom of the screen (battery status
display is not available on EnOcean®remote controls):
ON: Good condition
OFF: Batteries are running low: change batteries
