iFunctional description

The Programming

Centre ... is the input unit of the Fernotron system. You can use it to enter

the desired functions of the the Fernotron system (e.g. automatic

switching times) and to transmit these by radio to the desired

receiver or to the desired group.

All settings/input is saved permanently in the Programming

Centre.

Presettings save work Carry out all settings first (set up switching times/function and

groups) with the Programming Centre before transmitting the

settings by radio to the desired receiver.

Manual operation In addition you can manually remotely operate individual tubular

motors or devices, or tubular motors or devices which have been

combined into groups (a maximum of 7 groups with a maximum

of 7 receivers), at any time.

Programming Centre

with the receiver

To enable your settings or manual switching commands to be

transmitted, the Programming Centre must be registered once with

each receiver (see page 40).

Functions The settings/function which you can perform with the aid of the

Programming Centre can be divided into the following types:

◆General functions

◆Group functions

◆Individual functions

◆Special functions (see expert mode)

General functions General functions are functions and settings which refer to the

overall Fernotron system.

Group functions You can combine a maximum of 7 receivers in one group. The

previously set group functions then apply for all receivers or devices

of this group at the same time (e.g. in order to close all roller

shutters on the ground floor at 21.00).

Individual functions Individual functions are used to individually set a receiver (e.g. to

activate the automatic sunlight protection mode in order to open

an awning).

Special functions There are various special functions available in expert mode (E)

(menu items) to facilitate taking the Fernotron system into operation

and adapting it to individual requirements.

Most settings are not compulsory and only require to be carried

out once for the basic setting procedure (e.g. enter the postcode).

iImportant advice before adjusting the settings

Settings

Initial operation

Two situations can be distinguished in which you adjust settings:

◆Initial operation/installation of a Fernotron system for the

first time.

◆Subsequent changes/settings made to an existing Fernotron

system.

Please proceed as follows:

Preliminary thoughts:

Fill in the table on page 14 with the allocation of the receivers

(including the names and number) and the desired settings.

ADVICE Please refer to page 13 for a table of the names

suggested and preset by the manufacturer.

Call up and carry out the commissioning assistant (see page 17)

Basic settings via menu navigation with standard switching times

including allocation of the names and numbers of the groups

and receivers.

ADVICE This will make you familiar with the setting principle.

Other settings enabling individual adaptation

◆Setting the weekly timer

◆Activating and setting the automatic sunlight protection mode

etc.

Registration of the Programming Centre and data transmission

◆To enable your settings or manual switching commands

to become active you must first register the Programming

Centre once with each Fernotron receiver (see page 40).

The allocation and all settings (including the time etc.) will

also be transmitted to each individual receiver at the same

time.

iImportant advice before adjusting the settings

Subsequent

changes

Please proceed as follows:

Preliminary thoughts:

Which settings are to be changed?

Record any changes in the table on page 14.

Set the Programming Centre

Call up and set the functions in the menu e.g.:

◆Set standard switching times or weekly timer

◆Set the automatic sunlight protection mode/dusk mode etc.

Data transmission

◆Select the desired receiver in the group

◆Transmission of the allocation and all settings

(including time etc.) to each individual receiver.

iImportant advice before adjusting the settings

Allocation of names

Initial operation

Subsequent

changes ...

Example

Using the

same names

Numbering receivers

consecutively

You can allocate a name/a device number to each group and

each receiver (see page 47/pt. 2).

If you use the commissioning assistant (see page 17) you will be

automatically requested to select and enter the group and receiver

names.

...are possible at any time.

You can use names several times. To distinguish between receivers

with the same name, each receiver is given a different receiver

number.

In the living room there are 5 windows, and all 5 windows should

open and close at the same time.

You wish to allocate the name „living room“ for the group and

for all receivers. This means that all receivers must be given a

consecutive number.

Group Name* Number

Group 1 Living room A

- Receiver 1 Living room 1

- Receiver 2 Living room 2

- Receiver 3 Living room 3

* The group and receiver name always appears at the top

of the display.
