ENDescription
ReWiSo has been developed for automatic control and convenient manual operation
of an awning or Venetian blind. The controller has a very high degree of exibility for
connection and adjustment and can therefore be adapted individually to di󰀨erent instal-
lation conditions. Please use this operating manual to adapt the automatic functions
to suit your requirements.
Included in delivery
ReWiSo consists of a weather station and operating unit. Batteries (2x) to power the
operating unit are included.
Instructions for commissioning
Installation, testing, commissioning and troubleshooting on the controller may
only be carried out by a qualied electrician (according to VDE 0100).

Operation
Automatic mode active
Manual mode active. The connected drive was operated manually (with the
arrow buttons) or the button was pressed. The automatic functions are
thus deactivated and the awning or Venetian blind is not controlled according to
brightness or temperature. The safety functions ‘Rain alarm’ and ‘Wind alarm’
remain active. The controller remains in manual mode until it is switched to
automatic mode with the button.
Rain alarm. Outdoor awnings are retracted, manual operation is blocked.
The rain alarm function can be activated and deactivated in the automatic
settings (e.g. for indoor awnings or Venetian blinds).
Wind alarm. Outdoor awnings or Venetian blinds are retracted, manual operation
is blocked. The wind alarm function can be activated and deactivated in the
automatic settings (e.g. for indoor awnings).
Display of brightness and wind velocity
Press the SET button once briey while the temperature is displayed to display the
current brightness (in kilolux, kLux) and wind velocity (in metres per second, m/s).
The values are refreshed every 4 seconds.
Note: The wind velocity is not correctly displayed during the rst approx. 90 seconds
after the power is restored to the weather station (e.g. after a power failure or during
commissioning). Manual operation is therefore blocked during this period if the wind
alarm is active.
Pressing SET again briey recalls the temperature display (or the central command
display, see next section). The temperature is also displayed again automatically after
approx. 60 seconds.

Operation
Manual operation
Manual control, pre-setting of the automatic functions and the basic setting of the
connected sun shading are performed with the buttons on the operating unit.
Up Stop Down
The connected awning or Venetian blind can be operated by hand using the buttons ,
and . The arrow buttons have an automatic timer function. Pressing the buttons
briey (less than 1 second) allows the awning or Venetian blind to be exactly positioned.
If the button is held depressed for longer than 1 second, the drive automatically runs
up to the end position. Pressing stops the drive.
If the rain or wind alarm is active, manual operation is blocked.
Manual/Automatic
The button switches back and forth between automatic mode (display )
and manual mode (display ). If the controller is operated manually using the ,
or buttons, it is then in manual mode. The automatic functions are then
deactivated and the awning or Venetian blind is not controlled according to brightness
or temperature. The button can be used to switch the controller back to automatic
mode (display ).
Pressing the SET button briey calls up the brightness and wind velocity display.
Holding the button depressed calls up the setting mode for the automatic functions and
the basic setting. For further details, see the section “Setting the automatic functions”
or “Basic setting”.

ENA. Brightness for the sun shading
In the automatic settings, rst enter the brightness above which the sun shading
should be extended.
The sun intensity is displayed in kilolux (kLux). The value 1 kLux is achieved even with
an overcast sky, 20 kLux is achieved when the sun is just coming out and 100 kLux
is achieved with a cloudless sky at midday.
The default setting for the brightness is 40 kLux.
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (o󰀨) to deactivate
the function. If is selected, no control by brightness takes place. The following
automatic parameters (sections B to E) are then skipped. In this case the sun shading
can be operated manually and is protected against wind and rain (if the alarm function
has been activated, see the sections “F. Wind alarm” and “G. Rain alarm”).
Press SET to proceed to the setting of the next parameter.
i

12
EN
After setting the brightness, now enter the delay time for the extension of the sun
shading.
B. Extension delay
This delay ensures that the sun shading does not constantly extend and retract in the
event of rapidly changing light conditions.
The default setting for the extension is 1 minute. The brightness must therefore lie above
the entered set value (point A of the automatic settings) continuously for 1 minute
before the sun shading is extended. The sun shading therefore reacts quickly to sun.
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower). Then press SET to proceed to the
setting of the next parameter.
After setting the extension delay, now enter the delay time for the retraction of the
sun shading.
C. Retraction delay
The default setting for the retraction
is 12 minutes. The brightness must
therefore lie below the entered set
value (point A of the automatic settings)
continuously for 12 minutes before the
sun shading is retracted. Passing
clouds are “masked” in this way.

EN
C. Retraction delay
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower). Then press SET to proceed to the
setting of the next parameter.
After setting the retraction delay, now enter the indoor temperature below which
the extension of the sun shading is to be blocked.
D. Indoor temperature lock
i
Using the indoor temperature lock, you can use the heat of the sun to achieve the desired
room temperature (e.g. in the winter - energy-saving function). The sun shading only
extends in the sunshine when the value is exceeded. The indoor temperature lock
is active only when the controller is in automatic mode. Manual operation of the sun
shading is still possible.
The default setting for the indoor temperature lock is 18° C.
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (o󰀨) to deactivate the
indoor temperature lock. Then press SET to proceed to the setting of the next parameter.
i

14
EN
After setting the indoor temperature lock, now enter the outdoor temperature below
which the sun shading should not be moved.
E. Outdoor temperature lock
The outdoor temperature lock is important when sun shading is installed on the outside
of the building. In the event of frost, the awning or Venetian blind can freeze in the guide
rails. If the sun shading is then moved, it can be damaged. Note that the guide rails
or other mechanical parts may still be frozen even when the outdoor temperature has
already risen to quite high values. Ask your conservatory builder for the temperature
limit for your sun shading.
If your sun shading can still operate even at low temperature or if it is installed on the
inside, deactivate the outdoor temperature lock (display ).
The outdoor and indoor temperature locks are only active in automatic mode.
Operation by hand is still possible. Therefore pay attention to possible freezing
when opening and closing the sun shading manually.
The default setting for the outdoor temperature lock is 5° C.
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (o󰀨) to deactivate
the outdoor temperature lock. Then press SET to proceed to the setting of the next
parameter.
i

15
EN
After setting the outdoor temperature lock, now enter the value for the wind alarm
function.
F. Wind alarm
The wind alarm protects outdoor sun shading against damage. If the entered wind value
is exceeded, the awning or Venetian blind is retracted and manual operation is blocked.
The wind velocity is entered in m/s (metres per second). The wind alarm is maintained
for 5 minutes. If the set wind value is exceeded again within these 5 minutes, the holding
time starts again.
The following table (see next section) contains reference values for setting the wind
alarm. Depending on the location of the conservatory and the installation position of the
weather station, di󰀨erent wind values may be optimal for protecting the sun shading.
Observe the behaviour of the awning or Venetian blind in windy weather and correct
the wind value accordingly.
The default setting for the retraction in windy weather is 4 m/s.
Adjust the value with (higher) and (lower) or select (o󰀨) to deactivate
the function. Then press SET to proceed to the setting of the next parameter.

F. Wind alarm
After setting the wind alarm, now select whether or not the rain alarm is to be activated.
The rain alarm protects outdoor sun
shading, particularly cloth awnings,
against damage. If the rain alarm is
triggered, the sun shading is retracted
automatically and manual operation
is blocked.
The rain alarm is maintained for
5 minutes. If rain is detected again
within these 5 minutes, the holding
time starts again.
In the default setting, the rain alarm is activated (display ). Use the arrow buttons
to select between activated (display ) and deactivated (display ). Then press
SET to save the settings.

The rst step is the teach-in (or later also clearing) of the radio connection.
1. Radio connection to the weather station
The teach-in may only be carried out by a qualied electrician as the programming
button is inside the weather station.
Select the desired step with the button:
(Continue) to skip this step,
(Learn) to learn a radio connection to the weather station,
(Clear) to delete an existing radio connection.
Conrm your selection with the SET button.
When you have conrmed (Learn) with the SET button, the radio symbol stops
ashing and the radio waves are animated (they “run”).
Now press the orange programming button inside the weather station to learn the
radio connection. (An overview of the PCB can be found in the section “Preparing the
weather station”.)
