Operating and installation instructions
GA Kompakt
Keep for future use!
Valid from 20 July 2011
General
Fig. 1 GA Kompakt REG
The floor distribution control (GA) enables the central
control of the motor control units of a floor. The control
signals from the sun shading control system are forwarded
to all motor control units of a floor. The sunshade drives
of this floor can be distributed to up to four facades via
the GA and controlled separately. In addition, four facade
push buttons can be connected to the GA, which enables
the connected motor control units to be jointly operated for
each facade.
Intended use
The device was developed to control sun shading sys-
tems. The approval of the manufacturer must be obtained
for uses outside of the purposes listed in these instruc-
tions.
Safety instructions
ARNINGW
The electrical installation must be per-
formed by a certified electrician in accord-
ance with the electrical installation regula-
tions published by the Association of Ger-
man Electrical Engineers (VDE 0100) or the
standards and regulations of the country
in which the device is being installed. The
specialist must observe the installation
instructions included with the electrical
device.
ARNINGW
If hazard-free operation cannot be
assumed, the device may not be started or
must be deactivated. This assumption is
justified
If the housing or the supply lines show signs
of damage,
The device is no longer working
ARNINGW
It is important to comply with the follow-
ing instructions in the interest of personal
safety!
■ Do not allow children to play with the operating elements of the control or remote control. Store the remote controls out of range of children.■ Make sure that no persons or objects are in the range of movement of the driven parts (blinds, window, etc.).■ Disconnect the device from the supply voltage if cleaning or other maintenance work must be performed.Function
Move commands from the local facade push buttons are
forwarded to the connected motor control units via the
GA Kompakt. After the button is pressed, the sun shad-
ing system moves in the corresponding direction and
stops after two seconds. If the button is pressed for more
than two seconds, the control will stay activated automati-
cally. The button may then be released. The sun shading
system moves until the fixed run time of three minutes has
expired. In order to clear the locked state and stop the
motor, briefly press the button for the opposite direction of
movement. The move commands from a sun shading con-
trol system have priority over the move commands from
the facade push buttons and are directly forwarded to the
motor control units. Operation via the facade push button
is blocked during a central command.
Installation
The motor control unit is, depending on the selected meth-
od of installation, designed for surface mounting (AP) or
for installation in a distributor (REG).
AP: Insert a slotted screwdriver
(recommendation: 3.0 - 4.0mm blade) into
the respective cover opening (see Fig. 4)
and carefully pry the folding cover open.
Repeat the procedure for the second
opening of the cover. The cover can be
folded up when both catches have been
released. The second cover can be opened
in the same manner. Alternatively, the
surface-mounted variant can be mounted
on a DIN rail (TH 35-15 as per EN 60715:
2001).
AP IP54: This device type is suitable for use in damp
locations. After the enclosure is mounted,
remove the two blue transport protectors
(foam inside the enclosure).
