1. Function overview
The louvre blind module enables a louvre blind or shutter motor to be controlled by radio signals.
Depending on how the buttons on the transmitter are used, either the angle of the louvres is adjusted
(short press < 1 second) or the blind is raised or lowered (long press > 1 second).
The louvre blind actuator can be programmed for up to 14 transmitters.
On the unit there is a programming button (Fig. A c) and a two-colour programming LED (Fig. A d).

Operating the louvre blind actuator in a system with a DALI central unit
In systems with the OSRAM DALI RC ADVANCED unit, the equipment (such as control gear) is
connected to the central unit via a control line. The DALI central unit receives the radio telegrams from
the control units (such as the wall-mounted or hand-held transmitter) and reacts according to the
programmed functions by sending control commands via the control line to the loads.
If a radio-control louvre blind actuator is used in a system, it receives the transmitted radio telegrams
from the control units in the same way as the DALI central unit and can react to them according to the
programmed functions.
As there are two separate systems, the channel or scene buttons of the transmitters which are to
operate both the loads connected to the DALI central unit and the radio-controlled actuators (in this
case the louvre blind actuator) must be separately programmed and deleted in the two systems.
The louvre blind actuator is not a DALI unit; it cannot be operated or configured via the manual
programming unit. Instead, it reacts only to radio telegrams from wall-mounted or hand-held
transmitters, provided these have been previously programmed.
Lighting scenes
The final position of the louvre blind (fully up or fully down) can be incorporated with the lighting in up
to five lighting scenes. The required lighting scene button on the hand-held or wall-mounted
transmitter must first be programmed in the actuator.

2. Installation
Important: Electrical equipment may only be installed by qualified electricians.
Since the unit has only basic insulation, radio transmitters may be programmed or deleted only
by qualified electricians. This only applies if components of the electrical system have to be
opened for the purpose.
Because the load lines of the unit briefly carry current when mains voltage is applied, any
unused lines must be insulated.
Install the louvre blind actuator (Fig. B c) in a flush-type box behind a blanking cover (Fig. B e).
For application outside the flush-type box, make sure the unit is adequately protected against
accidental contact (for example, install it in a distribution box). The legend must be pointing forwards
when the unit is installed.

The louvre blind actuator was developed exclusively for switching louvre blind or shutter motors. Other
applications may be dangerous (e.g. controlling a roller gate).
Only use louvre blinds or shutters with mechanical or electronic end position switches.
Electronic interlocking of the unit means there is a minimum direction changeover time of about 1
second.
Check the information provided by the motor manufacturer regarding changeover time and
maximum operating time.
Antenna
To achieve optimum radio reception, lay the antenna out straight (Fig. B d), not wound up.
As the antenna has only basic insulation it must not be led out of the flush-type or surface mounted
box.
Keep the antenna the minimum prescribed distance away from large metal parts, such as metal door
frames.
Do not shorten or lengthen the antenna, or strip off the insulation.

Notes
•The distance from equipment that operates with high frequencies (such as microwave ovens, hi-fi
systems and TVs) must be at least 0.5 m.
•To avoid overloading the receiver (actuator), the distance between the louvre blind actuator and a
transmitter must be at least 1 m.
When you have installed the unit, please give these operating instructions to the customer.
3. Programming a radio transmitter
When a transmitter is being programmed, the sensitivity of the receiver is reduced to approx. 5 m. The
distance between the louvre blind actuator and the transmitter to be programmed should therefore be
0.5 m to 5 m.
Procedure
1. Hold down the programming button for about 4 seconds to switch to the programming mode.
The LED will flash red for about 1 minute (Fig. D). During this time a radio channel can be
programmed.

1 min t
2. Issue a radio telegram from the selected transmitter (e.g. the hand-held transmitter) by holding
down a channel or lighting scene button until the LED lights up permanently to indicate that
the louvre blind actuator has acknowledged storage (Fig. E).

3. You will automatically leave programming mode after about 1 minute, or you can briefly press
the programming button. The louvre blind actuator will then return to operating mode.
Notes
• If all 14 storage locations are occupied you must delete a programmed transmitter before you
can train a new one.
• All the programmed radio channels are retained in the event of a power failure.
• It is best to keep a record of which transmitters (wall-mounted or hand-held) have been
programmed in the louvre blind actuator and enter this information in the documentation for
the lighting system.
4. Deleting a radio transmitter
A programmed transmitter is deleted by starting a new programming process for this transmitter (see
"Programming a radio transmitter").
All the channels and lighting scene buttons must be deleted individually.
Successful deletion is indicated by a rapidly flashing red LED (Fig. F).

Important for systems with radio actuators and DALI central unit:
If you train/delete a lighting scene button in the louvre blind actuator that has already been
programmed in the DALI central unit by means of the manual programming unit, the DALI central unit
will also receive the radio telegram during the programming/deletion process. In this case, the current
lighting situation of the loads connected to the DALI central unit would be stored in the central unit as
a lighting scene during the programming/deletion process. To avoid this, you should select the lighting
scene stored in the DALI central unit by pressing briefly on the appropriate scene button before you
start the programming/deletion process in the louvre blind actuator.

5. Lighting scenes
The end position of a louvre blind can be stored in a lighting scene together with the lighting
arrangement. This lighting scene can be changed at any time by simply storing it again.
Before storing or selecting a lighting scene, a lighting scene button on the transmitter must be
programmed; see "Programming a radio transmitter".
Storing a lighting scene
1. Move the louvre blind to the required end position (up/down) by pressing an appropriate channel
button.
2. Hold down the required lighting scene button on the transmitter for at least 3 seconds.
Note: If the louvre blind is not in an end position or on the way towards it during the process for storing
a lighting scene, the louvre blind will not be stored in the lighting scene.
Important for systems with radio actuators and DALI central unit:
If you use a lighting scene button that has already been programmed in the DALI central unit by
means of the manual programming unit, the DALI central unit will react to the radio telegram during
the storage process. In this case, the current lighting situation of the loads connected to the DALI
central unit would be stored in the central unit as a lighting scene. This would overwrite a lighting
scene that has already been stored. To avoid this, you should select the lighting scene stored in the
DALI central unit by pressing briefly on the appropriate scene button before you start storing the
lighting scene in the louvre blind actuator.
6. Test mode
Once it has been installed, the louvre blind actuator can be tested by briefly pressing the programming
button a number of times (for less then 1 second in each case). The actuator will run through the
following statuses:
No
.Reaction LED
1 Blind up (2 min.) red
2 Stop OFF
3 Blind down (2 min.) green
4 Stop OFF
7. Notes on radio operation
A non-exclusive transmission path is used for radio transmission, which means that
interference cannot be ruled out. Radio transmission is not suitable for safety applications,
such as emergency shutdown or calls to the emergency services.
The range of a transmitter (up to 100 m in the open) depends on the nature of the building:
Dry material Penetration
Wood, plaster, plasterboard approx. 90 %
Brick, MDF approx. 70 %
Reinforced concrete approx. 30 %
Metal, metal grating, aluminium
cladding
approx. 10 %
