Adjusting the Upper End Position
From far range, press the up or down button
and hold approx. 3 seconds until the installation
retracts and locks.
As soon as the upper end position is reached,
the motor automatically turns off and the upper
end position is saved. You will hear the motor (1 x
‘Click-Click‘). The up and down buttons are now
assigned to the corresponding turning direction of
the motors!
The learning mode is now concluded.
I Finally, conduct at least one trial run,
so that the motor electronics can
automatically detect the threshold of the torque disconnection.
9. Side awnings operation
After the tensioning of the cloth on the outer end position retract the awning until
the motor disconnects via torque recognition.
A perfect tensioning of the cloth is thus ensured.
10. GEIGER-Powertronic
The GEIGER-Powertronic enables the user to change the motor’s closing charac-
teristics. The user can raise or reduce the closing power applied through the motor.
This way, he or she influences the closing characteristics of the casing. A rise in the
closing power causes a tighter closing of the casing with increased stress on the
fabric; a reduction in the closing power causes a looser closing and less strain to
the fabric.
Closing power levels: from level 0 to level 7
GEIGER-delivery setting: level 0
I Caution: By manually raising the closing power (e.g. from level 0 to
level 7) the fabric endures more strain.
In which situations is the GEIGER-Powertronic applied?
• If the closing operation should be optimised for better fabric protection.
When can the GEIGER-Powertronic be applied?
• Anytime; this function can be activated during initial operation, as well as at a
later date.
Which resources are necessary?
• GEIGER-hand-held remote, which is taught-in in accordance with Chapter 7
(page 7).
Please note:
• The end positions are not affected when the GEIGER-Powertronic is activated.
• Only activate the GEIGER-Powertronic after the end positions have been taught-
in and a complete trial has been conducted.

11. Function description of radio motor
In the delivery state, each GEIGER radio receiver and radio transmitter is equipped
with the “GEIGER-Code“ + + + + - + - so that the motor can be operated
immediately, in order, for example, to facilitate the installation of hangings on the
winding shaft.
I For security reasons, the „GEIGER-Code“ must be overwritten by an
individual code! This takes place automatically in the teaching for the
first time of an individual code (see page 6 learn/delete radio codes).
„GEIGER code“ individual code (example)
The DIP switches No. 8 and No. 9 have no function!
Please take the description and adjustments from the operating instructions of the
appropriate hand-held/wall transmitter.
12. Radio codes
A maximum of three different functional codes can be taught. The motor can thus be
a member in three groups that are independent of one another. Additionally, a further
two radio sensor codes can be taught.
If three radio codes have already been taught and it is attempted to teach a fourth
code, the radio code learnt as the third code is cancelled and replaced by the new
code. If two radio sensor codes have already been taught and it is attempted to
teach a third code, the radio sensor code learnt as the second code is cancelled and
replaced by the new code.
Example:

Programming in the far range/near range
In the radio receiver of the motor is integrated an approach detector that
recognizes whether a radio transmitter is operated from some distance = far range,
(at least 1.5 metres distance to the motor control or 0.5 metres to the motor cable),
or it is operated close to the antenna = near range, (at most 15 cm removed or
directly on the motor connecting cable).
I Caution: If radio receivers or motor connecting cables lie near to
one another, unintentional codes can be transmitted to other radio
receivers.
Recommendation:
When starting the motor for the first time, disconnect motors that are intended to
be operated by another pair of keys, or by another code, from the mains.
13. Obstacle recognition
When, after the teaching of the first complete, uninterrupted travel from one end
position to the other end position is carried out, the torque needed is learnt.
In any following complete, uninterrupted travel from end position to end position,
the torque needed is automatically reset. Slow changes in the installation due to
ageing, soiling, cold or heat are thus automatically taken into consideration.
If a travel movement in UP or DOWN direction is blocked by an obstacle, the
motor switches off and a small return motion takes place (no return motion with the
SoftWireless-55).
The running direction in which the obstacle was recognized is blocked.
The block is removed if the motor has been operated in the opposite direction for
a certain time. An obstacle must thus first be released before the motor can be
operated again in the direction of the obstacle.
I Because of the motor sensitive obstacle detection, the correct
dimensioning of the torque for the respective installation size is
essential.
In the following table please find a selection aid to find out the right motor size:
These are estimated values so please check the correct functioning of the
installation.

I When using a wind sensor (GF0024/GF0025) the correct functioning of
the retract command under wind load should be checked by the manu-
facturer of the sun protection before commissioning.
14. End position correction
If a lengthening/shortening of the hanging has resulted due to e.g. temperature
changes, this will be automatically corrected by closing the awning.
If, due to temperature changes, an adjusted sleeve performance is set and the
hanging runs against the stop unit, the end position is immediately corrected.
After the first trial, the motor automatically identifies the torque necessary to close
the awning and closes it with the lowest possible power, so that the fabric is
optimally protected.
