Nice elero Aero-868 AC User manual

Warning!
General information
Aero-868/-915 AC is a combined sun/wind/radio control device for
your awning and venetian blinds.
Important!
The Aero-868/-915 AC only operates in combination with radio
receivers from the elero ProLine-868 radio system.
Radio signals (frequency 868.3 MHz) are transmitted between the
Aero-868/-915 AC and the receiver. Power supply is via connec-
tion to the mains network.
Recommendation: Use a LumeroTel or VarioTelPlus manual
transmitter in connection with the Aero-
868/915 AC to deactivate the sun function.
Safety instructions
Intended use
The Aero-868/-915 AC may only be used for control of awnings
and venetian blind installations.
Third-party devices should only be connected after consultation
with your specialised dealer.
• Please ensure that the radio installations are not operated in
areas of heightened possible interference. (e.g. hospitals, air-
ports…).
• The remote control is only approved for devices and systems
for which any malfunction of the manual transmitter or receiver
would not result in a risk for persons, animals or property, or if
such a risk is covered by other safety devices.
• The operator has no protection whatsoever from interferences
by other radio emitters and local terminals (e.g. also from radio
installations), that are normally used on the same frequency
range.
• Only use radio receivers with equipment and units approved by
the manufacturer.
Warning!
Risk of injury due to electrocution.
• Connections must be performed by an authori-
sed specialist.

Function for „Manual“ switch setting
(manual transmitter)
The UP-STOP-DOWN button on the manual transmitter and the
UP/DOWN keys at the Aero-868/-915 AC are active.
– Wind monitoring is active
– Sun protection is disabled.
Function in „Auto“ setting (hand transmitter)
UP-STOP-DOWN button on manual transmitter and UP/DOWN
buttons on Aero-868/-915 AC are active.
– Wind monitoring is active
– Sun protection is active.
Leave semi-automatic mode:
– If a level falls below and/or rises above a set threshold value
then the system automatically changes to AUTO mode.
The system moves in/out.
or
– Set the sliding switch of your transmitter briefly to
MANUAL mode and then to AUTO mode.
The system moves in.
Semi-automatic mode
Your Aero-868/-915 AC is in AUTO mode.
As soon as you now press a button on your programmed manual
transmitter the receiver switches itself into the semi-automatic
mode.
Device function
Light intensity and wind speed are measured at regular intervals and
compared with the set values.
Brightness above set value
→ Awning moves out after delay time
(Delay time approx. 5 min.) (yellow LED winks).
Brightness below set value
→ Awning retracts after delay time or
(Delay time approx. 15 min.) remains retracted .
Wind value above set value
→ Awning retracts or remains retracted
and is blocked for around 15 min.
(red LED flashes)
The slide switch at the taught manual transmitter can be used to
switch the light function of the Aero-868/-915 AC on or off. The wind
function is always active, irrespective of the light switch setting.
The slide switch has no influence on the function of the travel keys.
However, in the event of a wind alarm, the keys are disabled for
15 minutes.
Awning mode
The awning is automatically retracted when the current measured
sun value changes from 1 to 0 (late evening) or when the current
measured light value changes from 0 to 1 (early morning).
Protection against prying eyes mode.
To keep the blind closed even in the evening, close the blind
manually using your hand-held transmitter or a timer.
The current transitions of the measured light values from 1 to 0
(late in the evening) or from 0 to 1 (early in the morning) will be
ignored.
The blind will remain closed throughout the night.
The switching commands such as tilting position (venetian
blind) or ventilation position (roller shutter) will be executed
automatically the next day.
Setting the mode (awning, protection against prying
eyes, roller shutter)
The Aero-868 /-915 AC can be operated in three different modes.
The modes can be successively switched through.
The current mode of the Aero-868 AC is displayed by means of
the flashing of the green LED.
Roller shutter mode
If the roller shutter is driven manually or by a timer to the lower
end position, the light function (driving according to set light
value) will be switched off.
The current transitions of the measured light values from 1 to 0
(late in the evening) or from 0 to 1 (early in the morning) will be
ignored.
You can switch on the light function again in several different
ways:
– the blind moves to the upper end position by means of a manu-
al UP travel command (button on the Aero-868
/-915 AC).
– the blind moves to the upper end position by means of an
automatic timer command.
– by switching the sliding switch from AUTOMATIC mode to
MANUAL mode and back to AUTOMATIC mode.
A multiple contact switch is provided on the underside of the
Aero-868
/-915 AC.
1. Set the multiple contact switch to Function using a small
screwdriver.
2. Keep the UP and DOWN button pressed for at least 3 seconds.
The current mode of the Aero-868
/-915 AC is displayed by
means of the flashing of the green LED:
The operating mode is indicated by the flashing signal.
Green LED flashes 1x →Awning mode
Green LED flashes 2x →Protection against prying eyes mode.
Green LED flashes 3x →Roller shutter mode
The set mode is displayed at each radio transmission by the flas-
hing of the green LED (LED flashing pattern 1x per minute).
Set the multiple contact switch from Function to a value selected
by yourself.

Check the sun protection function (test mode)
Condition: The blind/shutter is retracted.
The delay times are shortened in the test mode. You can then
test the travel movement of your system on the set light value
being exceeded or undercut.
1. Press the UP button (wind symbol) for at least 3 seconds until
the green LED flashes.
The test mode stays active for 5 minutes but with the LED
extinguished.
2. Shine a torch on the sun sensor.
Set light value is exceede →shutter/blind immediately travels
out/down.
Light value has reached/exceeded the set threshold value →
yellow LED flashes.
Set light value is undercut →shutter/blind travels in/up after
15 seconds.
You can repeat the operation as often as you want within
5 minutes.
In „normal“ operation the LEDs light up every 5 seconds and
show that the threshold values have been reached or exceeded.
Warning!
Injury risk from extending the awning or running
down the venetian blind
The test mode is active for 5 minutes. This time
cannot be shortened.
Keep away from the operating range of the system.
Check the wind function (test mode)
Condition: The blind/shutter is retracted.
The delay times are shortened in the test mode. You can then test
the travel movement of your system on the set wind value being
exceeded or undercut.
During the test phase the set wind value is automatically set to the
lowest value and re-set once the test phase (5 minutes) is over.
1. Press the UP button (wind symbol) for at least 3 seconds until
the green LED flashes.
The test mode stays active for 5 minutes but with the LED
extinguished.
2. Use the hand transmitter to bring the shutter/blind to the centre
position.
3. Turn the wind vane.
The shutter/blind travels in/up immediately.
Set wind value is exceeded/undercut →red LED flashes.
You can repeat the operation as often as you want within
5 minutes.
Note: In the event of a wind alarm, the travel keys are disabled
for 15 seconds.
In „normal“ operation the LEDs light up every 5 seconds and
show that the threshold values have been reached or exceeded.
Warning!
Injury risk from extending the awning or running
down the venetian blind
The test mode is active for 5 minutes. This time
cannot be shortened.
Keep away from the operating range of the system.
Setting the threshold values
Multiple contact switches for wind and sun are located at the
underside of the Aero-868/-915 AC. The switch has several
settings, which can be modified with a small screwdriver.
OFF →Light function is deactivated
Setting 1 →Move out at low light levels
Light Setting 2-14 →Intermediate levels
Setting 7 →Factory setting
Setting 15 →Move out in full sun
Function →Change the mode
Setting 1 →Move out at low light levels
Wind Setting 2-10 →Intermediate levels
Setting 4 →Factory setting
Setting 11 →Move out in full sun
