Setting the mode (awning, protection
against prying eyes, roller shutter)
The device can be operated in three different modes.
You can select the modes as follows:
1. Turn the wind potentiometer to Function.
2. Keep the UP and DOWN buttons pressed for at least 3
seconds. Press the two buttons until the device is in the
desired mode.
The flashing alarm LED indicates the mode of the device:
• Red alarm LED flashes once Awning mode
• Red alarm LED flashes twice Protection against prying
eyes mode
• Red alarm LED flashes 3x Roller shutter mode
The set mode is displayed at each radio transmission by the
flashing of the operating LED (LED flashing signal 1x per
minute).
Turn the rotary potentiometer from Function back to a value
selected by you.
The awning mode is set as standard in the delivery condition.
OEM versions may also be set to a different mode.
Note
Wind commands are executed in every mode.
The wind interlock is active for 15 to 17 minutes.
Awning mode
Requirement
Twilight function is switched off. (Twilight potentiometer is on
Off)
The awning will be retracted automatically when the current
sensor measured value changes from 1 to 0 (late in the
evening) or when the current light sensor measured value
changes from 0 to 1 (early in the morning).
Protection against prying eyes mode
Requirement
The light threshold value must be set to 2 or higher.
To keep the blind closed even in the evening, close the blind
manually using a hand-held transmitter or an elero timer.
The current transitions of the light sensor measured values
from 1 to 0 (late in the evening) or from 0 to 1 (early in the
morning) will be ignored.
The blind will remain closed throughout the night. The
travel commands such as tilting position (venetian blind)
or ventilation position (roller shutter) will be executed
automatically the next day.
Roller shutter mode
Requirement
The light threshold value must be set to 2 or higher.
Note
Support for the roller shutter mode is dependent on the
software version of the receiver.
If the roller shutter is driven manually by a timer or the twilight
function to the lower end position, the light function (driving
according to set light value) will be switched off.
The current transitions of the light sensor measured values
from 1 to 0 (late in the evening) or from 0 to 1 (early in the
morning) will be ignored.
You can switch on the light function again in several different
ways:
• by means of a manual UP travel command to the upper end
position
• by means of an automatic timer command to the upper end
position
• by using the hand-held transmitter to switch from
AUTOMATIC mode to MANUAL mode and back to
AUTOMATIC mode.
