Operating instructions
General information
You can control one or more receivers with the UniTec-868 /
UniTec-915 transmitter.
The UniTec-868 / UniTec-915 can be operated manually at any
time.
This device is characterised by simple operation and large control
buttons.
Intended use
The UniTec-868 / UniTec-915 is a single-channel transmitter. It can
be used unidirectionally (compatible with the existing ProLine pro-
gram) or bidirectionally. The handheld transmitter must only be used
for controlling roller shutters, venetian blinds and sun protection sys-
tems which are fitted with elero radio receivers. Other uses or use
going beyond this is considered to be contrary to the intended use.
elero GmbH shall not be liable for damages in case of:
• Other use than described above
• Changes to the device
• Improper use
Please see the technical data contained in these operating
instructions.
Third-party devices should only be connected after consultation with
your specialised dealer.

Instructions for radio operation
CAUTION!
Observe the following safety instructions for radio
operation!
Only use radio systems, if they are allowed and can
be operated without interference.
• Please note that radio systems must not be oper-
ated in areas with an increased risk of interference
(e.
g. hospitals, airports, ...).
• The remote control is permitted only for devices and
equipment for which a malfunction of the transmitter
or receiver does not give rise to a hazard to persons,
animals or objects or where this safety risk is covered
by other safety equipment.
• The operator has no protection whatsoever against
interference by other telecommunication installations
and local terminals (e.
g. also from radio installations
which are operated properly in the same frequency
range).
• The range of the radio signal is limited by the govern-
ment and the built environment.
Safety instructions for radio operation
Mounting of the wall bracket
1. Attach the bracket to the wall, with the two wall plugs and
screws which are provided.
2.Slide the UniTec-868 / UniTec-915 from the top onto the wall
bracket.
NOTE!
Before installation in the required assembly position,
check that the transmitter and receiver are function-
ing properly.
The bracket has to be fixed so that the drill hole does
not touch any electrical lines.

Note
Do not press the Pbutton until the receivers are in programming
mode. The active channel decides for a radio system during
programming. If the receivers are not in programming mode, the
transmitter channel changes to unidirectional mode. Press the
STOP and Pbuttons simultaneously for 6 seconds until the status
display lights up, to restore the initial condition.
Status display of the indicator lamp
A radio signal is displayed by the illumination of the status display
(LED indicator lamp). After the status display, the operating mode
of the transmitter is displayed by the same indicator lamp.
Explanation of functions
Bidirectional radio system
A bidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to radio receiv-
ers and enables feedback to the transmitter. The radio signal can
be sent directly to the target receiver. If this is not possible, then
the radio signal is forwarded via other bidirectional participants
until the signal reaches the target receiver. The target receiver
carries out the command and sends a confirmation back to the
transmitter. Bidirectional radio operation is only possible, if all
participants are bidirectional. Otherwise, the system is only unidi-
rectional.
Unidirectional radio system
A unidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to radio
receivers. However, unlike in a bidirectional radio system, the
radio receivers cannot send back any feedback to the transmitter.
A passing-on of the radio signals from one radio receiver to the
next radio receiver is not possible.
Initial operation
The handheld transmitter is switched on by pressing the button,
and status display and operating mode are displayed successively
by the indicator lamp. The handheld transmitter is in automatic
mode during initial operation. As long as no receiver is pro-
grammed, the automatic display is not available.

The transmitting power or radio range will be reduced by the
reduction in the performance of the battery. No more functions are
executed and there is no display, if the voltage drops below 2 Volt.
Group control
A group is understood to mean the control of several receivers
at the same time. The selected group is controlled by a travel
command. Any number of receivers can be programmed and con-
trolled in the channel.
The UniTec-868 / UniTec-915 can be programmed into several
receivers.
Selection button Auto/Manual
An already programmed transmitter (uni- or bidirectional) can be
switched between automatic and manual operation by using the
selection button.
The current mode of the handheld transmitter channel is queried
by briefly pressing the selection button.
Pressing and holding (for approx. 1 second) the selection but-
ton switches the automatic mode off. After the transmit signal,
the operating mode display lights up red. The receivers now only
carry out manual travel commands and do not respond to auto-
matic travel commands.
Pressing and holding (for approx. 1 second) the selection button
again, switches the automatic mode back on. After the transmit
signal, the operating mode display lights up green. The receivers
now execute automatic and manual travel commands.

Note
When switching on the automatic, an upward travel of the receiver
is triggered (provided that sensors are programmed in the
receiver).
End position
The end position is the point where the roller shutter/venetian blind
is in the upper or lower position. In this position, the sun protection
system is completely extended or retracted.
Intermediate position
The intermediate position is a freely-selectable position of the
shutter/blind between the top and bottom end position. This can
be approached from the top end position after programming is
complete.
For this, press the Down button briefly twice successively.
In venetian blind mode, any programmed tilting is carried out auto-
matically following the intermediate position.
Ventilation/Tilting
The ventilation/tilting position is a freely selectable position of the
shutter/blind between the top and bottom end position. Using this
function, you can raise the roller shutter from the lower end posi-
tion until the ventilation gaps are again open. With venetian blinds,
the slats are inverted.
For this, press thee UP button briefly twice successively.

Programming additional transmitters/channels
Programming additional transmitters/channels
NOTE!
If several receivers are connected to the same feed
line, then all are simultaneously in programming
mode. The shutters/blinds start a brief “random” up/
down travel. The longer you wait with the program-
ming, the greater will be the offset.
Individual transmitters/channels can now be
assigned to the respective receiver.
You can stop the brief up/down travel by briefly
pressing the STOP button on a transmitter which
has already been programmed.
The channel assignment/change can now be
made without having to disconnect the individual
receivers.
If the shutter/blind travels in the wrong direction,
delete the transmitter and reprogram it.
(→see Deleting a transmitter)
Programming additional transmitters/chanels
Programming additional transmitters
To programme additional transmitters in one receiver, please pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Press the UP-, DOWN- and the programming button Psimulta-
neously (for 3 seconds). The status LED lights up briefly.
Push the programming button Pon the new transmitter to be
programmed until the status LED lights up briefly.
2. Press the UP button immediately after the start of upward
travel (max. 1 second).
The status LED lights up briefly. The shutter/blind stops – starts
moving again – stops and then moves in the DOWN direction.
3. Press the Down button immediately after the start of down-
ward travel (max. 1 second).
The status LED lights up briefly. The shutter/blind stops.
The transmitter or the transmitter channel has been programmed.
Group mode
If more than 10 bidirectional receivers are being programmed
at the same time, the transmitter channel in programming mode
switches to group mode. The group mode is indicated by fast
flashing with pauses. Programming in group mode ends after a
2-minute pause or pressing the STOP button for 6 seconds.
