0. Definitions
The * symbol in the main text refer to the following terminology:
Running time/length It is the dimension of the end-product.
Into the software, the running time refers to the DCE and the unit is mm,
the running length refers to the DC and the unit is second.
Tilting time/length Impulses (DCE) or seconds (DC) for the slat to orientate from 90° to -90°.
Backlash The mechanical slack can be compensated through this parameter.
This is the number of pulses (DCE) or seconds (DC) before the blind starts to move
the slats.
US mode Short press (< 0.5 s): starts a full UP or DOWN operation.
Long press (> 0.5 s): starts to tilt, STOP when pushbutton is released and
starts a full UP or DOWN operation if the button is kept pressed.
European mode Short press (< 0.5 s): tilt
Long press (> 0.5 s): starts to tilt, STOP when pushbutton is released and
starts a full UP or DOWN operation if the button is kept pressed.
Screen mode The only possible movements are up and down.
Building Controller The brain of the system. Connected to the PC, this device is able to store the
configuration of the system. It is also able to manage the values sent by the different
sensors and to send order to the different zones. It is able to manage up to 8 zones.

3.2 Set up of the Motor Controller
This section describes the set up of the running time/length *, the tilting time/length * and an
intermediate position of the Motor Controller through the remote control or the wired switch.
3.2.1 Running and tilting times/lengths *
For installers knowing the Motor Controller 4DC, the procedure on the 4DC/DCE is the same. When you use
the Motor Controller for the first time (or after a reset ), a default running time/length* of around 35 cm
(DCE) or 3 Minutes (DC) is already set up. The default tilt pulses are 110 (for DCE, should fit for 25 mm slats
in combination with CTS 25 enrolling system) or 3s (DC).
To set the tilting times/lengths * only, you have to do the procedure from the beginning and also
reprogram the running times/lengths *. After learning running and tilting times/lengths *, a complete
UP order has to be given so that the blind can identify its upper reference point.

4.4 First level diagnostic
4.4.1 Attention LED ()
If ▲or ▼pressed and the Attention LED () blinks in red (overcurrent), the following points
should be checked:
- Short circuit on motor output or at least one cable is disconnected
- Encoder wire connected to a motor output connector marked with +/-
- Motor Controller in DC mode but DCE motors connected
If ▲or ▼pressed and the Attention LED () blinks in yellow (regulation error): The set speed is too high
regarding the size of the blind. Enter a lower speed in the Operating Software.
