General Programming Overview
Programming steps
When the batteries are first installed, “Remote control Programming” mode
is activated : “SET” and “YEAR” appear on the screen.
The programming process is always the same. At each step, the parameter
to be set flashes:
-Press the arrow buttons to change the parameter
-To save the parameter and move to the next parameter,
briefly press the selection button .
You will find more details on general mode programming in the instruction
guide or in the training module
The parameters appear in the following order:
1. YEAR
2. MONTH
3. DAY
4. (and 5) TIME (current time in hours and minutes)
6. AREA (location of residence)
This parameter is linked to the automatic time change function. If your
location place is Europe, choose: EU. If your location place is US,
choose US. If your location place is neither Europe nor US, choose:
OFF: the automatic time change function to adjust for Daylight savings
will be not activated.

7. (and 8) JUNE (twilight time in midsummer, in June, in hours and
minutes)
9. (and 10) DEC (twilight time in midwinter, in December, in hours and
minutes)
11. Whether or not there are sun sensors on site: select SUN (one or more
sun sensors) or NO SUN (no sun sensors)
Choose “SUN” if motors or receivers are linked to one or more RTS sun
sensors (Outdoor Sunis WireFree RTS or Soliris RTS). In the time
range setting, you can choose to program current orders (Up/My/Down)
or activate (SUN ON) or deactivate (SUN OFF) the RTS sun sensor.
If the house does not have any RTS sun sensors, choose: “NO SUN”:
you will not have the option to program a sun order in your
programming.
NOTE: this is not a function (you will not send any orders by choosing
“SUN” or “NO SUN”, it is an programming parameter setting only. It is
the same as manually changing it via a Telis Soliris Transmitter).
12. Briefly press the selection button to confirm the last parameter:
“Remote control programming” mode is deactivated, and the Telis 6
Chronis returns to automatic mode.

Benefits of the function
If the end product has adjustable slats (interior or exterior Venetian blinds,
roller shutters with adjustable slats), slat orientation mode can be
configured in “EU” or “US” mode on each channel.
By configuring each channel in “US” mode if the motors are in “US” mode,
or in “EU” mode if the motors are in “EU” mode, when end products with
adjustable slats receive an automatic up order, they will go up.

-Make sure that the Telis 6 Chronis is in manual mode.
-Select the channel you want to configure using the arrow button
-Press and hold the selection button until “SET” and “MODE” appear

the arrow buttons and save the parameter by pressing briefly on
the selection button .

-Sun function
The sun function can only be activated in automatic mode, by programming
a “SUN ON” automatic order into a time range. To make best use of the
sun function, we recommend programming a “SUN ON” every
morning and a “SUN OFF” every evening.
In automatic mode:
-If a “SUN ON” automatic order is programmed, this means that, at the
indicated time, the motors or receivers linked to one or more RTS sun
sensors will follow the orders generated by these sensors. The end
products concerned will react according to the amount of sunlight, until
the next “SUN OFF” automatic order.
-If a “SUN OFF” automatic order is programmed, this means that, at
indicated time, these motors or receivers will cease to follow orders
from the RTS sun sensors.
The sun function is only active in automatic mode. As soon as the
Telis 6 Chronis RTS switches to manual mode, this function is
automatically deactivated. It can only be activated at the next
programmed “SUN ON” automatic order.

Assigning end-products in each channel

transmitter already in memory, until the end-product jogs (moves back and
forth): programming mode is activated for 2 minutes.
-Use the arrow buttons to select the channel on the Telis 6 Chronis RTS to be
programmed.
-Briefly press the PROG button on the Telis 6 Chronis RTS: the end-product
jogs, and it is assigned to the chosen channel on the Telis 6 Chronis RTS.
