1. General
The GFU004 is a Venetian blind control for ush-mounted installation. It has connections for two
external push-buttons, for the tubular motor and for the mains connection. The operation and the
control installation are effected via operating button, radio transmitter, sun/ wind / rain / service
radio sensors and an internal programming button.
In order to have the control respond to a radio transmitter, the radio code of the respective trans-
mitter has to be programmed. A 433 MHz radio receiver and a proximity detector which is needed
for the programming are integrated into the control. During assembly, please make sure that the
stationary transmitters are more than 2 m away from the receiving antenna.
You also have the option to connect a switch with two buttons / two switching functions in order to
allow selective turning on and off. These buttons must be potential-free. Please do not use here
230 V. This would damage the control.
Different acoustic signals are emitted by the control during programming.
1.1 Operation via push button and two-key transmitter
Control status Operated key Reaction of the control
Retract UP (approx. 1,5 to
2 seconds)
The blind moves in lock condition to
the upper stop position
Extend DOWN The blind moves in lock condition
to the lower stop position or until
expiration of the programmed time
(factory setting = 90 sec.)
Stop Travel direction counter-
key (approx. 0,5 to 1 sec.)
Actuating the counter key stops the
travelling motion immediately
Move on Actuate several times the
direction key
The travelling motion will continue
without interruption
Lamellae «OPEN» UP (approx. 0,2 to 1 sec.) Actuate shortly the key to change the
lamellae setting angle
Lamellae «CLOSE» DOWN (approx. 0,2 to
1 sec.)
Actuate shortly the key to rotate the
slats in closing direction
The assignment of the transmitter buttons to the control commands is determined by the user while learning.
1.2 External buttons
Two external buttons can be connected to the inputs In1 (UP) and In2 (DOWN).The function of
the external buttons is identical to the radio transmitter buttons. The blind control can also be
programmed directly with the external buttons. In this case the white button on the controller is
pressed for 3 seconds and an audible signal is emitted to conrm the activation of the learning
operation. By simultaneous operation of radio and external switches the command which was rst
transmitted to the control unit has priority.
1.3 Disabling the learning mode
For safety reasons, the control programming is only possible within the rst 30 minutes after switching
on the mains voltage. After the control blocks the learning procedure so that unauthorized persons
have no access to the programmed parameters. To modify the control setting, please power off and
then back on.
2. Learning mode / control set up
• A maximum of three different transmitters can be learned. The control can therefore be a part of
three independent groups.
• If three transmitters have already been learned and if an attempt is made to learn a 4th one,
the last transmitter actually stored is deleted and the new transmitter stored instead.
• If you try to learn a transmitter whose radio code has already been learned, then the learning
will be denied and a rapid succession of short tones is emitted. The control expects a different
radio code.
• Should no action be taken within 30 seconds, the learning mode will be deactivated! You will
hear six signal tones and the control returns to normal operation.
• You can only delete all learned remote codes together. The assignment of the motor direction
to the relay is reset to the standard setting.
• Two different radio codes can be learned for the reception of the sensors.
• If a third sensor is learned, the second one will be overwritten.

2.1 Learning a transmitter
The order sequence is specied: the rst input on a transmit button receives the function UP, the
second input the function DOWN.
1. Hold the transmitter to be learned directly to the receiving antenna and press a key about
3 seconds until an audible signal is emitted. The learning mode is activated.
2. Keep holding the transmitter to the receiving antenna and activate briey the key for the UP
command. The radio code is learned and an audible signal is emitted for acknowledgement.
The control returns to normal operating mode.
2.2 Deleting the learned transmitter
1. Hold any transmitter directly to the receiving antenna and actuate a key about 3 seconds until
an audible signal is emitted. The control has changed over to learning / deleting mode.
2. Hold the transmitter directly to the receiving antenna and actuate any key about 5 seconds
until a long tone is emitted. All stored radio codes - radio codes of the sensors as well – will be
deleted. Then the control returns to normal operating mode.
2.3 Interchanging of the relay assignment
1. Hold any transmitter directly to the receiving antenna and actuate a key about 3 seconds until
an audible signal is emitted. The control has changed over to the learning mode.
2. Hold the transmitter about one meter away from the receiving antenna and actuate a key once.
An audible signal is emitted.
3. Now hold the transmitter close to the antenna again and actuate a key. The relay assignment to
the directions UP and DOWN is changed and an audible signal is emitted. The setting is stored
and the control returns to normal operating mode again.
2.4 Learning of the motor running time and of the lamellae setting angle
1. Power off and on the mains voltage (available time: 30 minutes!)
2. Hold the hand-held transmitter close to the antenna and keep a button depressed for approx.
3 sec. till an audible signal resounds (long tone). In order to adjust directly the control, keep the
white button on the controller depressed for approx. 3 sec.
3. IMPORTANT! Keep the hand-held transmitter at least 2 meters away from the controller.
4. Keep the UP button (or ext. button In1) depressed in order to retract the blind completely.
5. Upon reaching the upper limit position actuate briey the DOWN button (or ext. button In2)
6. Then press the button DOWN (or ext. button In2) for about 2 seconds - the blind moves down
automatically.
7. Actuate shortly button UP when the lower end position or the desired end position is reached
8. After completion of the running time learning procedure, the control changes over all auto-
matically to the lamellae setting angle learning mode.
9. Briey actuate the UP / DOWN buttons (or ext. buttons IN1/IN2) to set the desired angle
10. Hold again the hand-held transmitter close to the antenna and keep a button depressed for
approx. 3 seconds (or keep the white button directly on the control depressed for approx.
3 seconds).
11. Motor running time and lamellae setting angle are now learned and stored.
2.5 Subsequent modication of the lamellae setting angle
1. Power off and on the mains voltage (available time: 30 minutes!)
2. Actuate button DOWN (or ext. button IN2) to move the blind down to the end position
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter close to the antenna and keep a button depressed for approx.
3 sec. till an audible signal resounds (long tone).
4. IMPORTANT! Keep the hand-held transmitter at least 2 meters away from the controller.
5. Briey actuate the UP / DOWN buttons (or ext. buttons IN1/IN2) to adjust the desired angle
6. Hold again the hand-held transmitter close to the antenna and keep a button depressed for
approx. 3 seconds (or keep the white button directly on the control depressed for approx.
3 seconds).
2.6 Funksensoren
The control is able to learn the radio codings of two different sensors. In the event a sensor
coding has been learned, the control responds, provided the related sensors have been coded
accordingly, to the reception of the following radio sensor commands: „sun“, „evening twilight“,
„wind“, „rain“ and „service“.
• Upon the reception of the sensor command “sun too bright” an extend command is triggered
provided that the sun automatic function is enabled. The „retract“ command will be issued upon
the reception of the sensor command “sun dark”.
• Upon the reception of the sensor commands „wind“ or „service“, a retract command is triggered
and a certain pre-programmed disable time starts running. No operation can take place during
the disable time, as both the sun and the twilight sensor are disabled.

EN
• Upon reception of the sensor command „rain“, a retract command is triggered and a certain
pre-programmed disable time starts running. During the disable time, both the „sun“ and the
„twilight“ sensor are disabled. Operation in manual mode is nevertheless possible via the
hand-held transmitter along with the related control inputs. The system responds again to the
reception of „rain“ commands only after the expiry of the pre-programmed disable time.
Attention! Manual operation of the controller has precedence over sun automatic operation.
• Every manual operating command of the controller interrupts automatic mode with sun and
twilight sensors. The automatic sun function is active again when the blind is fully retracted
again (the taught motor run time or the xed run time of 90 seconds must have expired).
• If a handheld transmitter (e.g. GF0004) with the special functions “block / enable automatic
sun function“ was taught into a memory location for sensors, the automatic sun function can
be blocked and enabled again irrespective of the previous operation. These special commands
have no cancelling effect on the initiated delay times.
Attention! After the mains voltage is switched on, the sensors are initially enabled.
2.7 Learning a radio sensor
1. Hold any transmitter directly to the receiving antenna and actuate a key about 3 seconds until
an audible signal is emitted. The learning mode is activated.
2. Activate the sensor whose radio code is to be learned. An audible signal is emitted. The control
then changes automatically to normal operation mode again.
2.8 Delete a radio sensor
A single radio code cannot be deleted. See „delete learned transmitters.“
2.9 Factory setting
The device is delivered pre-coded with GEIGER coding. For the rst learning, the GEIGER code
will be replaced by a transmitter code. Set the individual code on the handheld transmitter via DIP
switch (see operating instructions handheld radio transmitter).
3. Audible signals emitted by the control for fault diagnosis
1 long and 1 short tone “Power on” signalling message after mains power on
1 long tone The learning mode operation was activated
1 long tone A radio code has been learned and stored
Rapid succession of short
tones
Error message: The radio code to be learned is already
assigned otherwise
6 tones Error message: the learning procedure was aborted because
time has expired
1 very long tone All radio codes are deleted.
1 long tone The assignment of the relays to the travel directions UP and
