5. Product description
The Troll Comfort DuoFern controller is designed for controlling roller
shutters, Venetian blinds, slats or awnings by connecting a correspond-
ing tubular motor.
If required, you can connect a lamp or other electrical appliances to
the controller instead of a tubular motor and use the light function to
control it.
The Troll Comfort DuoFern can be operated individually on site or it can
be integrated into a DuoFern network.
DuoFern receivers (actuators) and transmitters must be connected
to the DuoFern network.
You can find a detailed description of the various functions, configu-
ration options and possible combinations for the DuoFern system at:
http://www.rademacher.de/duofern.
Central control of DuoFern devices with a single Troll
Comfort DuoFern.
A DuoFern network generally includes the DuoFern Manual Central
Operating Unit or the HomePilot® (together with the associated user
interface) as the central controllers.
Alternatively you can also use the Troll Comfort DuoFern as a central
controller. To do so, you must configure the corresponding DuoFern
mode.
The following DuoFern modes can be selected,
see page 114.
[ 1 ] = DuoFern receiver
[ 2 ] = DuoFern transmitter
[ 3 ] = Local operation (factory setting)

Manual operation
It is possible to manually control the connected tubular motor at any

Central control of other Troll devices by cable
The Troll Comfort DuoFern can also be used as a central controller for
other Troll devices, as an alternative to connecting a tubular motor.
You can obtain additional connection and circuit examples from our
website at: www.rademacher.de
External control via two inputs E1 and E2
The Troll Comfort DuoFern features two configurable inputs E1 and E2
(230 V / 50 Hz) for connecting external signal transducers (e.g. Venetian
blind switches or Venetian blind buttons / external sensors etc.), see
page 36 / 37.
Both inputs are independently configured, see page 99.
