General information
Aero-915 is a wireless sun/wind control device for your awning.
Integrated solar cells enable autonomous function of the device.
Radio signals (frequency 915 MHz) are transmitted between the
Aero-915 and the receiver.
Important!
The Aero-915/Aero-915 Plus only operates in connection with radio
receivers of the elero ProLine-915 radio system.
Special features of the Aero-915 Plus
The Aero-915 Plus is equipped with an additional energy store and
an additional solar cell. The standby-time is 14 hours.
The awning can be operated manually via a manual/wall trans-
mitter. This item is not included in the scope of delivery.
Recommendation: Use a LumeroTel or VarioTelPlus manual trans-
mitter in connection with the Aero-915/Aero-915
Plus to deactivate the sun function.

Intended use
The Aero-915 AC may only be used for control of awnings and
venetian blind installations.
Third-party devices should only be connected after consultation
with your specialised dealer.
•Please ensure that the radio installations are not operated in
areas of heightened possible interference. (e.g. hospitals,
airports…).
•The remote control is only approved for devices and systems for
which any malfunction of the manual transmitter or receiver
would not result in a risk for persons, animals or property, or if
such a risk is covered by other safety devices.
•The operator has no protection whatsoever from interferences
by other radio emitters and local terminals (e.g. also from radio
installations), that are normally used on the same frequency
range.
•Only use radio receivers with equipment and units approved by
the manufacturer.

Mounting options for Aero-915/Aero-915 Plus
The wall bracket can be swivelled between –5° and 180°.
Secure the required position once it has been set (see screw a).
Check the sun protection function (test mode)
Condition: The blind/shutter is retracted.
The delay times are shortened in the test mode. You can then test
the travel movement of your system on the set light value being
exceeded or undercut.
1. Press the UP button (wind symbol) for at least 3 seconds until
the green LED flashes.
The test mode stays active for 5 minutes but with the LED
extinguished.
2. Shine a torch on the sun sensor.
Set light value is exceede Wshutter/blind immediately travels
out/down.
Light value has reached/exceeded the set threshold value W
yellow LED flashes.
Set light value is undercut Wshutter/blind travels in/up after
15 seconds.
You can repeat the operation as often as you want within
5 minutes.
In "normal" operation the LEDs light up every 5 seconds and show
that the threshold values have been reached or exceeded.
Warning!
Injury risk from extending the awning or running
down the venetian blind
The test mode is active for 5 minutes. This time
cannot be shortened.
Keep away from the operating range of the system.
Check the wind function (test mode)
Condition: The blind/shutter is retracted.
The delay times are shortened in the test mode. You can then test
the travel movement of your system on the set wind value being
exceeded or undercut.
During the test phase the set wind value is automatically set to the
lowest value and re-set once the test phase (5 minutes) is over.
1. Press the UP button (wind symbol) for at least 3 seconds until
the green LED flashes.
The test mode stays active for 5 minutes but with the LED
extinguished.
2. Use the hand transmitter to bring the shutter/blind to the
centre position.
3. Turn the wind vane.
The shutter/blind travels in/up immediately.
Set wind value is exceeded/undercut Wred LED flashes.
You can repeat the operation as often as you want within
5 minutes.
Note: In the event of a wind alarm, the travel keys are disabled for
15 seconds.
In "normal" operation the LEDs light up every 5 seconds and show
