Characteristics of the awning blind
The AMZ Z-Wave Solar Awning Blind is intended for installation in Fakro roof windows and is
adapted to cooperation with elements of wireless remote control system offered by FAKRO and other
manufacturers offering products with Z-Wave logo. The awning blind is equipped with a two-way radio
communication module. For communication, Z-Wave utilizes radio wave frequency of 868,42 MHz.
The controller of the awning blind is equipped with solar radiation and temperature sensors, thus
allowing blind operating in one of three modes: automatic, semi-automatic and manual.
The AMZ Z-Wave Solar Awning Blind is equipped with three protections:
• at the maximum unrolling of the awning blind (outskirt)
• at the maximum rolling up of the awning blind (outskirt)
• current limiting protecting the awning blind against damage and the user against accidental injury as a
result of contact with movable elements of the awning blind.
To be able to control the device, it is necessary to install it following the picture installation
instructions included in the product package. Below there is presented a general view of the AMZ Z-Wave
Solar awning blind with the description of the available buttons and signalling.

Characteristics of the remote
Note!!! ZWP SA4 is a remote intended to control the AMZ Z-Wave
Solar awning blind. Using other controllers is possible but it can cause
faster wearing off the batteries of these controllers due to the using
awakening function which extends required time of the controller
activity. Therefore it is possible to program the awning blind to one of
the controllers (e.g. ZWP1 0 remote, ZWK or ZWG keyboards) offered
by FAKRO or any controller of other manufacturer equipped with the Z-
Wave module.
I – button for channel selection
II – button for manual mode selection
III – button for semi-automatic mode selection
IV – button for automatic mode selection
V – operating button – for rolling up the awning blind
VI – stop button – for stopping the awning blind in requested position
VII – operating button – for unrolling the awning bind

Device programming
Below exemplary procedure of adding device to the network (INCLUDE
FUNCTION):
1 . Press once In/Ex button on the controller (remote)
2. The controller signals awaiting for information about the device being
added to the network – external LEDs (1 ,4) light up for about 1 0
seconds.
then within 1 0 seconds:
3. Press the programming button on the blind longer than 1 second:
4. The controller (remote) signals:
 correct adding the device to the network – two LEDs (2,3) light up
for 2 seconds.
 incorrect device adding – two LEDs (1 ,4) blink three times, it is
necessary to repeat the process
5. The awning blind signals:
- correct adding the device to the network – network status LED 2 blinks
once after pressing the button)
N TE!!! The awning blind is factory programmed for ZWP SA4 controller
on channel 1 . In case of need for controller replacement, change of
configuration or programming additional device, it is necessary to follow
recommendations presented below. Before proceeding to programming
check whether the device is not already a part of another network. The
device is in the network when after pressing P button the network status
LED blinks once for 0.5 sec . The device does not belong to any network
when after pressing P button the network status LED blinks for 5 sec .
Adding the device to the network (remote) – INCLUDE function
For the device to communicate in the Z-Wave network, it is necessary
to connect to this network and assign a specific number (Node ID). The
device can be added to the network, only if it is not already a part of
another network. To add the device to another network, it must be first
removed from the existing network or restored to factory settings by
means of any PRIMARY controller. Readiness to be added to the network
is signalled by the network status LED (fig. on page 4).

Device programming
Removing the device from the operating buttons – DELETE
function.
In some cases (change of place of installation, replacement of
damaged equipment), it is necessary to remove the device from the
operating buttons (DELETE) as well as from the network (EXCLUDE) to
prevent errors when sending commands (to non-existent devices) and
excessive drain on the batteries of portable controllers. Do not remove
devices physically from the network without first removing them
from the memory controller by using the DELETE and EXCLUDE
functions! It can lead to considerable delays in the operation of
devices in the network and the rapid wear on the batteries of portable
controllers. The order of execution of the function is also very important.
First, perform the DELETE function and at the very end the EXCLUDE
function. Please find below exemplary procedure of removing the
device from the operating buttons.
1 . By pressing button  choose one of four channels which will be used
for programming the blind and then...
Within 1 second press the sequence of buttons:
2. Press the In/Ex twice and then...
3. Press one of the operating buttons  or  or 
4. Readiness to remove the device is signalled by the controller
– LEDs 2,3,4 light up for 1 0 sec.
5. Press the programming button on the awning blind for 1 sec.
6. The controller signals:
 correct removing of the assigning is signalled by the controller –
LEDs 1 ,2,3 light up for 2 sec.
 incorrect removing of the assigning – LEDs 2,3,4 blink three times.
