Solexa II Control • from software version weather station 1.3, display 2.1 • Version: 11.05.2017
Technical changes and errors excepted.
1. Operating the display
1.1. Charging the battery
The display has a fixed, integrated battery that cannot be removed. The "Battery" sym-
bol displays the battery charging status:
Charging status very good, device is ready for use.
Charging status good, device is ready for use.
Charging status low, charge the battery.
+ Beep every 15 minutes. Charging status very low, charge the battery.
Both SOC bars flashing. Battery faulty. Consult technical service of the man-
ufacturer.
Charge the display before initial start-up. To charge, connect the display via a USB
socket with a mains socket charging device or a PC. The charging device must have a
charging current of 200 mA (or more).
If the device is not charged in time, the display switches off. If a weather station is being
used in the system, then the automation is not affected. The automation continues to
run without the indoor temperature function.
1.2. Maintenance and care
Fingerprints on the display and the housing are best removed with a cloth moistened
with water or a microfibre cloth. Do not use an abrasive cleaning agent or aggressive
cleansing agents.
Dispose of the used battery correctly – empty batteries should
not be thrown away in household refuse.
Ill. 1
The USB charging socket is at the lower
edge of the display.

1.3. Display and operating options on the start
screen
The display has various areas in which information and functions can be called up.

After an output has been operated manually, it remains in manual mode. Auto-
matic mode is inactive. Set an automatic mode reset so that the output switches back
to automatic, once a day or after a certain time after being operated manually (see Gen-
eral settings chapter: Automatic reset in the manual and automatic reset in the individ-
ual automatic descriptions in the manual).

Tap to access the automatic settings or
hold down for 3 seconds to access the default settings.
The automatic settings are described in the Automatic chapter in the manual.
The default settings are described in the Default setting chapter in the manual.
5 – Room temperature and weather data
In this area, the indoor temperature value is displayed and, if a weather station is being
used, the outdoor/weather data also. In this case, tap on the area with the values to
switch between the "Temperature" display and the "Brightness/Wind" display.
Temperature display:
• Current outdoor temperature
(only if a weather station is being used)
• Current indoor temperature
Brightness/wind display
(only if a weather station is being used):
• Current brightness (light intensity)
• Current wind speed
Further information on the values for brightness and wind is in the manual, chapter
Units for sun and wind, page 178.
6 – Time reception (weather station)
If the radio symbol is displayed in the start screen, the controller has, within the last 5
minutes, received the actual time from the GPS receiver integrated into the weather
station.
If no radio symbol is displayed, then the time has not been received for over 5 minutes.
The controller's internal clock continues to run.
7 – Active output functions
The right-hand edge of the display indicates the selected output functions, i.e. auto-
matic mode status. There is a more precise description in the Meaning of the functional
symbols (automatic mode status), page 8 chapter.

Solexa II Control • from software version weather station 1.3, display 2.1 • Version: 11.05.2017
Technical changes and errors excepted.
8 – Rocker switch for manual operation
9 – Outputs
You use the rocker switch to drive or switch the individual outputs manually. The out-
puts are visible at the lower edge of the display with the display position number and
type symbol. The selected output is marked by a frame around the display position
number.
Please note that at this position only outputs are displayed for which the display has
been activated (see manual, Display position chapter in the descriptions of the default
settings for Motor control units (RF-MSG, weather station), for Relay (RF-Relay, RF-HE)
and for Dimmer (RF-L).
Change output.
Operate or switch selected output manually.
Selected output is blocked for manual operation (alarm function active).
1.3.1. Meaning of the functional symbols (automatic mode
status)
The symbols show the automatic mode status for the selected output and the alarm
functions valid for the manual mode. A function is only displayed if it has been activat-
ed for the output.
Shading (shutters, awnings, blinds)
Please note that for an action such as "extend shading" a number of conditions must
be fulfilled. The functions are listed here in the sequence of their priority. This means
that the sun protection function is only executed if all previously named functions for
the shading have been released.
The detailed description of the automatic functions is in the Shading - automatic mode
chapter in the manual.
Alarm functions:
Alarm functions have the highest priority and prevent manual operation of the output.
Wind alarm. Retracted shading.
In automatic mode, manual operation can again be activated, even if the auto-
matic functions are blocked by wind alarm.
Frost alarm (combination of precipitation and low outdoor temperature).
Retracted shading.
Rain alarm.
Retracted shading.

Technical changes and errors excepted.
Outdoor temperature in the set range. Heating is turned on.
1.4. Beeps
If a button or a touch sensitive area is actuated, a beep sounds. If a button has been
held down, then a higher beep sounds as confirmation that the button has been recog-
nised as held down. This is, for example, valid for the settings button in order to access
the default settings or the SET button to save.
Shortly before the display battery is flat, a warning signal sounds every 15 minutes
(combination of high and low beeps).
1.5. Error messages
If, instead of a sensor value, ER error is displayed then the wireless connection
to the weather station is disrupted or the sensor is defective.
Check whether the weather station is powered (fuse). Have the device checked by an
electrician if the problem continues.
Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting of the unit
should only be performed by an electrician (accredited according to
VDE 0100).

2. Operating the weather station
2.0.1. Maintenance of the weather station
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by components moved automatically!
The automatic control can start system components and place people in
danger (e.g. moving windows/awnings if a rain/wind alarm has been
triggered while cleaning).
• Always isolate the device from the mains for servicing and cleaning.
The device must regularly be checked for dirt twice a year and cleaned if necessary. In
case of severe dirt, the sensor may not work properly anymore.
ATTENTION
The device can be damaged if water penetrates the housing.
• Do not clean with high pressure cleaners or steam jets.
