|"Blind/roller shutter" will be referred to below as
just "blind".
Switching times
The module has a program memory that contains stand-
ard switching times that can be changed anytime.
The switching times perform specific actions:
• Switching time : Raise blind, switch on light
• Switching time : Lower blind, switch off light
Both switching times together result in a switching cycle.
You can combine weekdays to form a group. In that case
the switching times apply to all the days in this group. A
weekday group consists of 1-7 days. You can create up
to 7 different groups. In the default settings, the working
days (Monday - Friday) form a group, and the weekend
(Saturday + Sunday) forms a group.
Module in combination with switchable/dimmable
inserts
Two switching cycles per day are available for each
channel.

Astro function
In addition to setting switching times, you can adjust the
lowering/raising behaviour of your blind and the switch-
ing on/off behaviour of your lighting to actual sunrise/
sunset using the Astro function. For this purpose the
module contains an integrated astronomical calendar
that calculates the sunrise and sunset for every day of
the year.
|The following explanations apply to Central Euro-
pean Time (CET). In the case of Central Europe-
an Summer Time (CEST) the Astro curves vary
by +/- 1h. This is automatically taken into account
by the module.
You can activate the astro function separately for each
switching time (see "Set switching times").
If the activated astro function has calculated that it will
still be dark outside at the set switching time (e.g."Raise
blind at 6:30 a.m."), it will not raise the blind until the sun
rises.
Likewise, the blind will be lowered at sunset, if the acti-
vated astro function has calculated that it will be dark be-
fore the set switching time (e.g."Lower blind at 7:10
p.m."). The lighting behaviour is identical.
Other switching times set for daylight hours are not af-
fected by the astro function.
LOn: Display lighting is on permanently.
Lt: Display lighting switches off automatically
10 seconds after the last input.
Notes on advanced functions
Astro function - application examples
ASet UP time 6:30 a.m.
BExecuted UP time
CExecuted DOWN time
DSet DOWN time 7:10 p.m.
Example 1:
You want the blind to be raised at sunrise and lowered at
sunset each day.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 4:00 a.m., astro
function activated.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 10:30 p.m., astro
function activated.
Example 2:
You want the lighting (e.g. outside lights) to be switched
off each day at sunrise and to be switched on each night
at sunset.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 4:00 a.m., astro
function activated.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 10:30 p.m., astro
function activated.
|If you want to control the blind and lighting with
the astro function only, you must be sure to set the
switching times for a time in which it is guaranteed
to be dark outside.
Example 3:
You want the blind to be raised each morning at sunrise,
yet not before 6:30 a.m. At night you want the blind to be
lowered no later than 7:10 p.m. or at sunset, if sunset is
before 7:10 p.m.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 6:30 a.m., astro
function activated.
• Switching time : Monday - Sunday 7:10 p.m., astro
function activated.
When it is still dark outside at 6:30 a.m., the astro func-
tion intervenes, and the blind is only raised at the actual
time of sunrise. If it is already dark before 7:10 p.m., the
astro function causes the blind to be lowered earlier, at
the actual time of sunset.
However, when the actual time of sunrise is before 6:30
a.m. the astro function will not intervene, and the blind is
raised at 6.30 a.m. If it is still light at 7:10 p.m., the astro
function will not intervene, and the blind is lowered at
7:10 p.m.
Astro time shift
The integrated astronomical calendar is designed for the
centre of the Central European Time (CET) zone. The
astro time shift takes into account the actual times of
sunrise and sunset at different locations. You can adapt
the astro function with astro time shift to the specific lo-
cation and correct the astro times calculated by the mod-
ule by max. ±2 hours (see "Setting the astro time shift").

Example of blind control:
Set -32 minutes for the location Cologne. This has the
consequence that the blinds are lowered in accordance
with the later sunset time (32 minutes later than Görlitz).
Random function
This enables you to give any external observer the im-
pression that you are at home. The random function uses
an integrated random generator to vary the times you set
by between 0 minutes and 30 minutes every day.
ASet UP time 7:30 a.m.
BSet DOWN time 6:30 p.m.
CRandom range 0-30 minutes
You can activate the random function separately for each
switching time (see "Set switching times").
Additional functions for blind control
Individual blind movement time
The module is preset at the factory so that the blind takes
2 min. to be lowered (and, where necessary, stops auto-
matically when the lower limit position is reached). You
can adjust this time freely between 30 seconds and 3
minutes. This means scenes can be performed faster.
(see "Setting individual blind movement time").
Sun protection function
The sun protection function is activated as soon as the
brightness at the window measured by the sun/twilight
sensor exceeds the set limit value for 2 minutes. The
blind is lowered to below the sensor and moves back up
again for the movement time set. The time the blind
moves back up needs to be set so that the blind stops
just above the sensor. If the measured brightness falls
below the limit value for 15 minutes, the blind is raised
again.
The brightness limit value and the raising time can be set
in the advanced menu of the module (see "Setting the
brightness threshold for sun protection function" and
"Setting the blind position for sun protection function").
1. The sun/twilight sensor measures the brightness. The
limit value is exceeded.
2. The blind is lowered. The sensor is now in the shade,
the blind stops below the sensor.
3. Blind is raised for the duration set and stops above the
sensor.
|Manual operation of the module deactivates the
sun protection function. The sun symbol is not
visible on the display.
The sun protection function is only active when
the blind is completely raised.

Disabling blind movement with magnetic contact
(Only in combination with blind control insert, brightness
sensor interface flush-mounted and magnetic contact)
Raising/lowering the blind via PlusLink commands or via
switching times of the display timer module is disabled
by a magnetic contact when the window or door is open.
Manual operation is still possible with the and push-
buttons.
AMagnetic contact
½CAUTION
Risk of burglary!
Please bear in mind that the blind will not close
while the window/door is open when using the
magnetic contact.
Wind alarm
In order to protect blinds or awnings from damage
caused by strong wind, you can set a blind behaviour for
wind alarm.
As soon as the wind speed set on the wind sensor has
been steadily exceeded for a period of at least 15 sec-
onds, the blind reacts according to the set behaviour
(see "Setting the behaviour for wind alarm"). There are
three possible settings:
• Blind is lowered in the event of wind alarm (standard
setting).
• Blind is raised in the event of wind alarm.
• Blind does not react to wind alarm.
During this time and until the wind speed drops, lowering
and raising the blind via PL or module switching times is
disabled. Manual operation is still possible with the
and push-buttons. The blind is not automatically low-
ered or raised after the wind alarm is over.
1. Blind is partially lowered.
2. The wind is increasing and exceeds the limit value. Af-
ter 15 s the sensor interface triggers a wind alarm via
the PL.
3. The blind behaves according to its settings.
Evaluating DCF timer
(Only in combination with brightness sensor with wind
sensor interface and DCF)
The module can receive a DCF time signal via a sensor
interface connected to the PlusLink. The DCF time sig-
nal is sent to the module via PL once a day (approx. at 2
o'clock in the morning). The module uses this to auto-
matically set the current date and time.
With the DCF time signal the changeover from summer
to winter time occurs automatically.
Response to mains voltage failure and
recovery / power reserve
In the event of mains voltage failure the display goes out.
The following menu settings are saved permanently:

The set time and date are saved for at least 6 hours
thanks to the power reserve (no batteries required).
After mains voltage recovery the next switching time is
carried out. Missed switching times are not carried out.
Deactivate the time and PlusLink control
Press the [Man] push-button to switch the module to
manual mode and deactivate the control via set switch-
ing times and via PlusLink commands. Loads can then
only be controlled manually with the and push-but-
tons.
|Exceptions:
• The panic scene is being executed.
• In combination with a blind control insert, the
module reacts to sensor values via PlusLink
and controls the blind accordingly.

After switching to manual mode, "Auto" disappears from
the display and the LED next to the [Man] push-button
lights up red.
