General information
Fig. 1 EWFS Inside PL
The EWFS Inside PL radio receiver is an electronic control
device for the direct actuation of 24 V DC sun shading
drives. It can receive move commands from EWFS-
compatible transmitters. The 24VDC receiver supply
is provided either via the existing control line, the floor
distribution control or a power supply unit. The receiver
can be operated by means of an overriding sun shading
control system. Because of its compact design, the
receiver can be installed in a flush-mounted junction box.
Intended use
The EWFS Inside PL radio receiver was developed
to control sun shading systems. The approval of the
manufacturer must be obtained for uses outside of the
purposes listed in these instructions.
Safety instructions
ARNINGW
The electrical installation must be
performed by a certified electrician in
accordance with the electrical installation
regulations published by the Association
of German Electrical Engineers (VDE
0100) or the standards and regulations of
the country in which the device is being
installed. The electrician must observe the
installation instructions included with the
electrical device.
ARNINGW
If it appears that hazard-free operation is
not possible, 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
Switch off the operating voltage of the
EWFS Inside when you perform activities
on the connected products. Danger due to
sudden movements of the equipment or
electric shock.
AUTIONC
Never activate buttons on your transmitter
arbitrarily without visual contact to the sun
shading product. Children must not play
with this product – remote controls or
transmitters must not get into the hands of
children!
The range of radio controls is restricted by legal
regulations for radio systems and through structural
factors. Adequate radio reception must be ensured when
planning the project. This applies especially if the radio
signal must penetrate through walls and ceilings. The
control unit should not be installed in the immediate
vicinity of metal components (steel beams, steel-reinforced
concrete, fire door).
 Therefore, check that the receiver is functioning
properly before the final installation.
Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors or
neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception.

Function
Permanent mode
This operating mode is useful for fabric products and
roller shutters: The sun shading product responds to the
operation of the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter by
moving in the corresponding direction and immediately
goes into lock mode. The button may be released
immediately and the sun shading system will move until
the fixed run time of 3 minutes has expired. To release
the lock and stop the motor, the button for the opposite
direction of movement or the stop button must be pressed
briefly.
Central operation
The local operation is blocked for the duration of a central
command; any current move commands will be deleted.
Symbols used
When the receiver is delivered, it does not "know" any
transmitters initially and first needs to learn to which
transmitters it should respond. We refer to this process as
"learning".
Power-up: To learn, you must electrically isolate
a receiver or a group of receivers, either at
the in-line circuit breaker or at the associated
plug-in connector, and then reconnect it again
after approx. 5 seconds. (Power-up procedure).
Always carry out a power-up procedure when
you see the circuit breaker symbol.
The receiver is now in learn mode for approx.
one minute. The learn button on the transmitter
must be pushed within this period or the learn
mode is closed. Push the learn button on your
transmitter whenever you see the learn button
symbol.
Wave: After the learn button on the transmitter
is activated, the connected sun shading system
carries out several movements. In these
instructions, we use the adjacent symbol for
waving. Waving once: Press the learn button
on the transmitter, wait until the connected sun
shading system moves and then release the
button immediately.
Learning in the master channel
You can either learn a 1-channel transmitter or one
channel of an 8-channel transmitter into a receiver. With an
8-channel transmitter, you only need to make sure that you
first select the desired channel, as the following example
shows:
How to learn channel 1 of an 8-channel hand-held
transmitter into a receiver:
Place the receiver into
learn mode: Perform the
power-up procedure on the
receiver.
To learn in the
transmitter: Take the
transmitter, select
channel1, push and hold
the learn button, the sun
shading system waves
once, release the button.
Result: You can now operate the receiver with channel1
of the transmitter.
Forming a group
You would like to operate two roller shutters with an
8-channel hand-held transmitter (I) as follows:
Channel1 should operate roller shutter1 (main
channel)
Channel2 should operate roller shutter2 (main
channel)
Channel3 should operate both roller shutters
(auxiliary channel).

Fig. 2 Building a group
1st step: Learn in the master channel
One master channel must be learned into each receiver
before you can form a group. As described in the section
"Learning in the master channel", learn in channel 1 on
receiver 1 as a master channel and channel 2 on receiver
2 as a master channel.
OTICEN If this is not possible because the power-up
procedure cannot be performed separately
for the receivers, the master channels must
be learned in by means of "patent learning".
Information on this procedure can be found in
the "EWFS application brochure" at http://www.
warema.de → Produkte → Steuerungssysteme →
Funksysteme.

2nd step: Learn in the auxiliary channel
You can now operate the roller shutters separately,
and each learned channel is a master channel in the
respective receiver. If the learn button is pushed with this
master channel, the learn mode can be started and an
auxiliary channel learned into the respective receiver even
without the power-up procedure. If the same auxiliary
channel, e.g. channel 3, is now learned into each receiver,
both roller shutters can later be operated as a group with
channel 3 but they can still be operated separately via the
master channels 1 and 2. The next step is to learn in the
auxiliary channels:
Learning channel3 into roller shutter1
Place receiver1 into learn
mode: Select channel1,
press and hold the learn
button, roller shutter1
waves once, release the
button.
Learn in channel3 as
an auxiliary channel:
Select channel3. Press
and hold the learn button,
roller shutter1 waves
once, release the button.
Channel3 is now an
auxiliary channel for roller
shutter1.
End the learn mode:
Select channel1 and
press the UP or DOWN
button.
Result: Roller shutter1 now can also be operated with
channel3.
Learning channel3 into roller shutter2
Place receiver2 into learn
mode: Select channel2,
press and hold the learn
button, roller shutter2
waves once, release the
button.
Learn in channel3 as
an auxiliary channel:
Select channel3, press
and hold the learn button,
roller shutter2 waves
once, release the button.
Channel3 is now an
auxiliary channel for roller
shutter2.
End the learn mode:
Select channel2 and
press the UP or DOWN
button.
Result: Roller shutter2 now can also be operated with
channel3.

Fig. 3 Auxiliary channels in receiver 1 and 2 are to be deleted.
 Carry out the following operation steps consecutively
with the respective master channel:
Delete all auxiliary
channels in receiver 1:
Select master channel1,
push the learn button
and hold it for at least
20seconds until the roller
shutter no longer carries
out any movement!
End the procedure: Select
channel1 and press the
UP or DOWN button.
Delete all auxiliary
channels in receiver 2:
Select channel 2, push the
learn button and hold it for
at least 20 seconds until
the roller shutter no longer
carries out any movement.
End the procedure: Select
master channel 2 and
push the UP or DOWN
button.
Result: All auxiliary channels in receiver 1 and receiver 2
were deleted.
OTICEN Only one main channel and another
15auxiliary channels can be learned into each
receiver. The master channel cannot be deleted
but can only be overwritten with a new channel.
The auxiliary channels are not deleted when
you learn in a new master channel. An EWFS
Weather station is learned in as an auxiliary
channel.

Heartbeat function
When a weather station is learned into the device, the
heartbeat function becomes active. The weather station
cyclically sends a so-called "heartbeat pulse" to all
receivers into which the weather station was learned. If the
power supply of the weather station fails, for example, the
station does not send a heartbeat. The receiver may also
fail to receive a heartbeat pulse from a learned weather
station when the installation situation is unfavourable.
If a heartbeat signal does fail to arrive for 24 h, this is
considered by the receiver to be a weather station failure
and the sun shading system is raised for safety reasons.
In this phase, the sun shading system cannot be operated
as usual: When it is lowered manually, the movement is
stopped automatically after approx. 5seconds. Pressing
the button again causes the same reaction. The sun
shading system can be raised as usual. This is a safety
function and not an error.
AUTIONC
If you force the sun shading system to move
down by repeatedly activating the DOWN
button when the weather station has failed,
the safety functions are not active. The sun
shading system may become damaged (e.g.
due to high winds).
Special functions
Manifold special functions are additionally possible in
WAREMA EWFS. Should you require further information,
your specialist dealer will be pleased to give you the
EWFS application brochure.
The A, B and C function buttons
Function button "A" of the transmitter can be used to
switch off the sun control temporarily if you additionally
use the EWFS Weather station in your system.
Temporary deactivation of the sun control:
 Press the "A" button of the transmitter and hold until
the sun shading system stops moving. Release the
button again. The sun control is now switched off
for 12hours. After this period, the sun control is
reactivated again automatically.
Activate the sun control again:
 Press and hold the "A" button of the transmitter.
Release the button again when the sun shading system
waves. The sun control is active again. If the automatic
system was already active, nothing changes.
The A, B and C buttons of this transmitter have no
function.
Installation
The receiver is designed for installation in a flush-mounted
junction box 80 x 80 mm. Only lines used for the wiring
of the receiver should be routed into this box. The unit is
electrically connected according to the wiring diagram on
the reverse. The lines are connected via spring terminals.
