Explanation of functions
Bidirectional radio system
A bidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to a radio
receiver and enables feedback from the radio receiver to the
transmitter. The radio signal can be sent directly to the target
receiver. If this is not possible then the radio signal is forwarded via
other bidirectional participants until the signal reaches the target
receiver. The target receiver carries out the command and sends a
confirmation back to the transmitter.
Bidirectional radio operation is only possible if all participants are
bidirectional. Otherwise, the system is only unidirectional.
Unidirectional radio system
A unidirectional radio system transmits radio signals to radio
receivers. However,in contrast to the bidirectional radio system,
the radio receivers cannot send back a reply to the transmitter. The
transmission of radio signals from radio receiver to radio receiver is
also not possible.
Initial operation
Press a button to switch on the handheld transmitter; the status
display is illuminated.
Mounting of wall bracket
• The wall bracket must be fixed so
that the drill holes do not touch
any electrical cables.
• Before installing the unit in the
required position, check that
the transmitter and receiver are
functioning perfectly.
• Attach the bracket to the wall
with the wall plugs and screws
provided.

Group control unit
A group is understood to mean the control of several receivers
at the same time. The selected group is controlled by a travel
command.
Any number of receivers can be programmed and controlled in the
channel.
Programming the transmitter
Requirement
The receiver is installed. Check whether the channel is deleted or
in the correct mode according to the status display.
Stand in front of the blind to be programmed for the programming.
1. With electrical receivers which have already been installed,
switch the fuse off, and on again a few seconds later.
The receiver is now in programming mode for about 5 minutes.
2. Press the programming button Pon the back of the device briefly
(approx. 1 second) until the status display lights for a short time.
The blind moves up and down for approx. two minutes, showing
that the receiver is in programming mode.
3. Press the OPEN button as soon as the blind starts moving in
Open direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display
lights briefly.
The blind stops briefly, starts moving again, stops and then
moves in the Down direction.
4. Immediately (within maximum 1 second) after starting down
travel, press the DOWN button. The status display lights briefly.
The blind stops. The transmitter channel is programmed.
Note
If the blind does not stop, it must be programmed again.
A bidirectional programming process in the handheld
transmitter can be cancelled by pressing the STOP button for
6 seconds.
Note
Do not press the P button until the receivers are in
programming mode. The channel for a radio system is
decided during the programming. If the receivers are not in
programming mode, the channel of the sender changes to the
unidirectional mode. In order to restore the starting condition,
press the STOP and P- buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds
until the status display lights.
Status display
A radio signal is indicated by the illumination of the status display
(LED above the buttons). The different colours of the status display
mean:

If more than 10 bidirectional receivers are being programmed in the
channel at the same time, the transmitter channel in programming
mode switches to group mode. The group mode is indicated by fast
flashing with pauses.
Programming in group mode is completed after a 2-minute pause or
pressing the STOP button for 6 seconds.
Note
A jogging mode for Venetian blinds for quickly reaching
receivers which are further away is not possible in a transmitter
channel with more than 10 programmed receivers.
Synchronous Programming Mode
For programming additional receivers to one transmitter at the same
time:
1. Press the DOWN buttons and the programming button P(back
of device) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter which
has already been programmed to the receivers). The status
display flashes. The receivers are now in programming mode.
2. For bidirectional operation only: press the programming button
Pon the transmitter to be programmed until the status display
lights briefly. The receivers are now in programming mode (up/
down movements).
3. Press the OPEN button as soon as the blind starts moving in
Open direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display
lights briefly. The blinds stop briefly, start moving again, stop and
then move downwards.
4. Immediately (within maximum 1 second) after starting down
travel, press the DOWN button. The status display lights briefly.
The blinds stop moving. The transmitter channel is programmed.
Programming additional transmitters
Note
If several receivers are connected to the same feed line,
then all are simultaneously in programming mode for approx.
5 minutes after switching on the mains power.
If the Pbutton on the transmitter is now pressed, all the
receivers start programming mode at the same time (up/down
movements). Randomly different intervals between open /
down movements cause the receivers to become offset against
one another. The longer programming is delayed, the greater
the offset will be.
The short up/down movements can be stopped by pressing
the STOP button briefly on a transmitter which has already
been programmed. The programming mode in the receiver is
interrupted.
The transmitter can now be assigned without having to
disconnect individual receivers. If the blind moves in the wrong
direction, delete the transmitter and program it again.
(→see Deletion of transmitter)
For programming additional transmitters to one receiver:
1. Press the UP, DOWN buttons and the programming button P
(back of device) simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on a transmitter
which has already been programmed to the receiver. The
status display lights briefly. The receiver is now in programming
mode. Press the programming button Pon the transmitter to be
programmed until the status display lights briefly. The receiver is
now in programming mode (up/down movements).
2. Press the OPEN button as soon as the blind starts moving in
Open direction (within 1 second at the most). The status display
lights briefly. The blind stops briefly, starts moving again and
then moves downwards.
