Eclipse M Series User manual

WC200 ‘M’ Series Roof Controller
User Guide
The “M” Series Roof Controller is an electronic switching unit that enhances the benefits you can
enjoy from your Opening Roof. The unique design of the “M” Series Roof Controller ensures easy
and convenient operation of your Roof and will even memorise your preferred settings. A key feature
of the unit is a Rain Sensor that is mounted on the roof that will automatically close all roof banks when
it starts to rain.
The “M” Series Roof Controller operates by use of the six buttons on the switch plate. When the
buttons are pushed individually they operate the primary functions of the unit. When two buttons are
pressed together, additional secondary functions are operated.

Primary Functions
OPEN -This button will open the louvres of the selected bank while the button is
being pushed. Releasing the button will stop the louvres in the position you
desire.
CLOSE - This button will close the louvres of the selected bank while the button is
being pushed. Releasing the button will stop the louvres in the position you
desire.
STEP - This button will step the controls to the next bank of louvres to allow
operation of that bank.
ONE - This button will bring the controls back to bank number one to allow
operation of that bank.
RAIN - This button controls the rain protection system. The unit will normally be
installed with the rain protection system ON which means the red light will
be ON. Pushing the RAIN button once will turn OFF the rain protection
system and the red light will go OFF. Push the RAIN button again and the
red light will come ON and it will be in rain protection mode once again.
When the rain protection system is ON the system is "waiting" until it rains. When
it starts to rain the raindrops falling onto the Rain Sensor (which is mounted on the roof)
will cause all roof banks to close. Once it stops raining and the Rain Sensor has had
time to dry out all roof banks will automatically open again to the preferred position for
after rain.
When the Rain Sensor is wet the red light will BLINK and the other buttons won't
operate. To use the other buttons when the Rain Sensor is wet, simply use the RAIN
button to switch OFF the rain protection system. This means you can leave the roof open
when it is raining if you choose (to water plants etc).
Note that in some cases the Rain Sensor will get sufficient moisture on it when it
is not raining to cause the roof to close - such as dew.

Secondary Functions (Push and hold down buttons together for a second)
AUTO+OPEN Open all roof banks to the vertical position.
AUTO+CLOSE Close all roof banks to the fully closed position.
ONE+STEP Hold this down for 5 seconds to reboot the system
Setting the Rain preferred position
This must be set as it is the position that all the roofs will open to when the rain has stopped
and the rain sensor has dried. Start this process with rain mode off.
1. Press AUTO and then CLOSE. (Just a split second between the two, and hold
them both down for a few seconds).
2. The roofs will close.
3. Open roof 1 to the desired position with the OPEN button.
4. Press STEP to change the active roof-to-roof 2, 3, 4 etc.
5. Press OPEN to get roof 2, 3, 4 to the desired position.
6. Press & Hold AUTO then RAIN (almost simultaneously). Hold down the buttons. If
the controller has accepted this position, the LED light will flash 3 times. If not try
steps 1-6 again.
You can test this by wetting the rain sensor plate manually, allowing the roof to close in
Rain mode, then turning off the rain mode by pressing the rain button until the red light goes
off. You have set the Rain Preferred Position. Even when the power goes off, the Preferred
Position for Rain will remain in the memory of the Controller.
Note: Touchpads can be in various types - Portrait or Landscape, and be Coloured or
Silver/Grey.

Remote Control (where fitted)
If you have a remote control fitted to your opening roof, you will be able to use basic functions
with the remote handset. Please see the remote control instruction leaflet that comes with the
remote control unit.
Smoke Sensor (where fitted)
When the smoke sensor detects smoke (anytime longer than 1/10th of a second) the roofs will all
open to the vertical position. The red light will flash briefly every 3 seconds. The roof will remain
open until OPEN or CLOSE buttons are pressed. If smoke is still detected the roof will remain
open. SMOKE will over ride RAIN even in RAIN mode.
Power Cuts
If there is a power cut, the unit will switch itself back ON after power is restored. When the power
comes back on the unit will re-program itself by going through a "start-up" routine that will open
and close the louvres. The unit will come back on with the rain protection mode switched ON. If
rain is detected in this period the roof will close and only go through the start up sequence once
the rain sensor has dried out.
If you have the Battery back up function in use, your system will continue to work for several days
without 240V mains power.
Please Note: Power failures/surges & storms can damage electrical equipment.
Cleaning
A build up of dirt or bird droppings may cause the roof to close when it is not raining. Therefore
occasional cleaning of the Rain Sensor with soapy water is recommended. The Touchpad can
be cleaned with a moist cloth but do not hose it down.
Notes
If you have any difficulties with the controller please contact the company the unit was
purchased from, if you cannot contact them feel free to contact the manufacturer through the
website enquiry form at –www.hv.com.au
