Dear customer, thank you for purchasing a STAFER product. This guide contains information about the product use. Before the product installation and use,
please read carefully this guide and keep it for future reference.
593.K.XB.00 is a radio wind/sun sensor powered by battery and studied to command tubular motors with radio receiver (integrated or external), powered by
main voltage and it is suitable to command awnings, roller shutters or similar.
593.K.XB.00 permits to command the automatic upward movement of the blinds connected to the motor when the wind exceeds the set threshold and to
command an automatic lowering when the intensity of sun exceeds the set threshold . These thresholds are set by the factory, but they can be adjusted
according to the needs.
This sensor does not protect awning in case of strong and sudden gusts of wind.
In case of weather hazards of this type, make sure that the curtains remain closed!
Master S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damage incurred due to weather events not detected by the device.

Technical specifications
It is advisable to avoid using radio systems in areas with strong interference (for example, near police stations, airports, ports, hospital, etc.).
A technical inspection is in any case advisable before installing any radio system in order to identify sources of interference.
Radio systems can be used where possible disturbances or malfunctioning of the transmitter or the receiver do not cause a risk factor, or if the risk
factor is cancelled by suitable safety systems.
The presence of radio device operating on the same transmission frequency (433,42 MHz) can interfere with the radio receiver of the motor and so
reduce the range of the system and limit the functionality of the installation.

03. HOW TO TURN ON THE SENSOR
1 / OFF
ON
To power the sensor turn the
switch to ON
To power the radio sensor , you must open the closing cover [4], slide the switch [3] from the OFF (or 1) to the ON position and see if LED1 lights briefly .
Warning:
If LED1 do not turn on, return the switch to the OFF position (or 1), wait a few seconds and repeat.
04. MEMORIZATION/DELETION OF 593.K.XB.00 IN A RECEIVER/MOTOR
The procedure to memorize or delete 593KXB00 in a receiver depends on the receiver, but usually is the following:
- with the transmitter bring the motor/receiver to the intermediate position.
- press PROG on the transmitter (with 594.T.X... in the battery compartment. / with 593.T.X1.00 in the back in the hole) for around 5 seconds to let the
motor/receiver enter into the programming (the motor/receiver makes a signal)
- press P1 on 593KXB00 and hold it until the motor/receiver confirmation movement.
To verify that the sensor is properly memorized, bringing the tuned receivers to the middle position, rotate the vane of the anemometer quickly to simulate
the condition of "wind alarm". The tuned receivers have to move uphill and their manual controls must be inhibited. To exit from "wind alarm", press any
button on the body of the radio sensor for about 3 seconds, until the LEDs light up briefly, then release the button.

06. SUN SENSOR
The device operates by sending a transmission of presence of the sun when the sun intensity exceeds the set threshold for at least 2.5 minutes, intervenes by
sending a transmission of the absence of sun if the intensity of the sun is below the set threshold for a period between 12 and 18 minutes (this value varies
depending on the speed with which the brightness decreases). During wind alarm the sun sensor is inhibited. The sun threshold is variable from 1 to 45 Klux.
The factory sets the threshold at 15 Klux sun (level 3). IMPORTANT: you can not make these adjustments from a remote control!

Press the buttons the same number of time of the desired value.
üIf you try to set a wind threshold higher than 35 Km/h, the device signals the error with the lighting of the 3 leds for 3 times.
If the wind speed is above the set threshold for at least 3 seconds, an upward movement is commanded to protect the awning (wind alarm). During this phase all
manual commands are disabled. The device exits from the “wind alarm” if the wind speed keeps below the set threshold for at least 8 minutes. The wind
threshold is varying from 5 km/h to 35 km/h. The factory sets the wind threshlod at 15 Km/h. IMPORTANT: you can not make these adjustments from a
remote control!

Press together the onboard buttons P2 and P3 for about 5 seconds until only LED1 lights up, then release the buttons.
By rotating the vanes LED1 should turn off and LED 2 lights up. Illuminate the sun sensor using a portable torch. Verify that the LED2 turns off when the sensor is
reached by warm light of portable torch. Obscure the sun sensor and verify that the LED2 turns on. After about 8 seconds, the sensor will automatically exit the
test of the sun sensor.
You can exit test at any time by briefly pressing P1.
06.3 CHECK OPERATION OF SENSORS
07. CHARGE STATUS OF THE BATTERY
It's possible, if necessary, know the level of charge of the battery. It's useful, in fact, replace the battery before it runs out definitively, so as to ensure the
continuous operation of the sensor. The procedure is as follows:
Press simultaneously P1 and P3 until the LEDs flash according to the state of charge of the battery (see table)

LOW BATTERY!!!
The battery life is estimated to be at least 3 years in standard conditions of temperature and humidity. However, you must consider the fact that the battery
life can be reduce in particular conditions of use.
Where available, it is strongly recommended to keep active, in the radio receivers tuned to the sensor, the "Test radio" function. If, due to the gradual
depletion of the battery, the transmission range of sensor is no longer enough to reach a tuned receiver, the "Test Radio" of the receiver periodically
(about every 30 minutes) rewinds the awning, bringing it in safe position and providing a visible indication of the need to check the radio sensor and
eventually replace the battery.
While waiting for the necessary checks by an authorized technician, you can temporarily disable the "Test Radio" as described on the installation manuals
of the receivers.
08. REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY
The battery must be replaced by an equivalent type. Contact an authorized installer for the replacement battery. Because of the conditions of use of the sensor,
the temperature inside the sensor can reach high values. Inadequate batteries may cause fire or explosion.
How to replace the battery:
- remove the closing cover.
- slide the switch to OFF (or 1).
- remove the old battery and replace it with the new battery supplied by the manufacturer of the sensor.
- slide the switch to ON.
The old battery must be disposed of in the appropriate containers.
After replacing the battery is required to perform a verify of the system. In the event that the system does not work, set the switch to OFF, wait a few seconds,
return the switch to ON and check that the LED1 lights up briefly, and then redo the verify operation of the sensor. In cases where receivers have disabled the
"Test Radio", you should re-enable it.
Battery replacement must be performed by an authorized technician,
following all applicable safety standards.
