ational guide to adjust the automatic functions to your requirements and enable com-
fortable manual operation.

You may select which indoor information is displayed (e. g. if several sensors are con-
nected).
System > Installation > Weather Display
6.1. Indoor sensor for weather display
The general weather situation is shown graphically:
Sunny or cloudy:
The sun moves across the sky according to
its current direction and height.
Rain:
When there is a precipitation report and
temperatures above -3 °C, it is raining.
Snow:
When there is a precipitation report and
temperatures below -3 °C, it is snowing.

18 Operation and use
Control System WS1 Color / WS1000 Color • Status: 19.11.2012 • Errors excepted. Subject to technical changes.
The date and time will be shown on the lower right on the display. The following sym-
bols are displayed, depending on which source the time signal is from:
2.2. The touch display
Manual control, as well as setting the defaults for the automatic functions and the con-
nected equipment, is via the control’s touch display. The button surfaces are operated
in this area by touching the display. When a button is activated, there is visual feedback
and a brief audio signal sounds.
If the push buttons shown do not match up with the touch-sensitive surfaces (you have
to press “next to the button”), the touch display can be calibrated as follows.
System > WS1 / WS1000 Settings > Settings > Calibrate touch
6.2.1. Calibrate touch
Operating the display with long fingernails will not damage the screen or the touch
function. Touching the display with very hard or pointed objects (e.g. those made from
glass, gems or metal) should be avoided as this can cause marks.
A stylus is enclosed with the WS1000 control system. It can be stored in the tray be-
neath the covering lid.

2.3. Manually operate drives and devices
2.3.1. The „Manual“ menu
You can reach the menu for manual control of drives and equipment by using the but-
ton Manual:
Here you can operate all connected drives and devices directly: Use the buttons to se-
lect the name of the drive or device you want to operate. You can change the order of
the list in the System menu.
System > Installation > Channel Order
6.1. Define channel order
The selected device is marked in white. On the right-hand side you will receive status
information (e.g. on/off, open/closed, exhaust air level, error messages) and various
control options (up/down arrow keys or on/off buttons).
The Down and Up buttons are fitted with automatic time functions. The drive can be
precisely positioned with brief button presses (less than 1 second, short audio signal).
For shutters and roller blinds, only a short step-movement command is triggered. If the
button is pressed for longer than 1 second (higher audio signal: locking signal), the
drive moves independently to the end position. A brief press in the opposite direction
stops the drive.
For shades and windows, the movement position is shown in percent above the Up-/
Down buttons (for blinds, also the slat position). For radio motor control units, the po-
