CONTROLS
All Transformer screens are fully congured from the factory. This means that the mo-
tors and keypad are already programmed and ready for operation. The motors are pro-
grammed into a single group so that they always operate simultaneously. When integrat-
ing Transformer into a home automation system, always control the motor group rather
than the individual motors.
The included Decoflex SDN wall switch is programmed to control the screen out of the
box. Simply press the aspect ratio button that you want to go to and the will move to that
aspect ratio.
To integrate controls into your control system you must rst connect the SIFI to your
network or control system via a standard CAT 5 Cable.
For detailed information about how to integrate the SI.FI into your specic control sys-
tem, please refer to the technotes available on the Info Hub at screeninnovations.com
Depending on the specic third-party control system being used, operating Transformer
to one of the intermediate aspect ratios (2.35:1 or 1.85:1) can be done one of three ways:
1. Operate the screen to an Intermediate position (IP), such as “IP 1” via SI.FI
2. Operate the screen to the corresponding percentage of the desired intermediate
position via SI.FI
3. Operate the screen to the desired aspect ratio via the dry contact inputs on the
keypad
Refer to the table below for more detail
Aspect Ratio Position Percentage
2.40: 1 Up Limit 100
2.35: 1 Intermediate Position 1 92
1.85: 1 Intermediate Position 2 12
16:9 Down Limit 0
