General information
Fig. 1 EWFS Piccolo PL
The EWFS Piccolo PL radio receiver is an electronic
control device for the direct actuation of 230 V AC sun
shading drives. It can receive move commands from
EWFS-compatible transmitters. The switching contacts
are floating. The receiver is supplied with 24 V DC either
via an existing control line, a 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 Piccolo PL radio receiver was developed to
control sun shading systems. The approval of the manu-
facturer must be obtained for uses outside of the purpos-
es listed in these instructions.
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
electrician 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.
AUTIONC
Never activate buttons on your transmitter
arbitrarily without visual contact to the sun
shading product. Children may not play with
this product - Remote controls or transmit-
ters must not get into the hands of children!
The range of radio controls is restricted by legal regula-
tions for radio systems and through structural factors.
Adequate radio reception must be ensured when plan-
ning 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).
nTherefore, check that the receiver is functioning proper-
ly before the final installation.
Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors or
neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception.
Function
PL (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 immedi-
ately 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 are 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".
Explanation of symbols
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). Al-
ways 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 lear-
ning mode is closed. Push the learn button on
your transmitter whenever you see the learn but-
ton symbol.
Wave: After the learn button on the transmitter
is activated, the connected sun shading system
carries out several movements. In these inst-
ruction, 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 im-
mediately.
Learning in the master channel
You can either learn in a 1-channel transmitter or one
channel of an 8-channel transmitter in a receiver as the
master channel. With an 8-channel transmitter, you only
need to make sure that you first select the desired chan-
nel, 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.
Learn in the transmitter:
Take the transmitter, select
channel 1, push and hold
the learn button, the sun
shading waves once, re-
lease 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 controls roller shutter1 (master channel)
Channel2 controls roller shutter2 (master channel)
Channel3 controls both roller shutters together (auxili-
ary 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 respec-
tive 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 the auxiliary
channels:

n Carry out the following operation steps consecutively
with the respective master channel:
Delete all auxiliary chan-
nels 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 mo-
vement!
End the procedure: Se-
lect channel1 and press
the "Up" or "Down" button.
Delete all auxiliary chan-
nels in receiver 2: Select
channel 2, push the learn
button and hold it for at
least 20 seconds until the
roller shutter no longer car-
ries out any movement!
End the procedure: Se-
lect 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 master channel and 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. The weather sta-
tion can be 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 cy-
clically 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 heart-
beat 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 wish further information, your
specialist dealer will be pleased to give you the applica-
tion brochure.
The "A", "B" and "C" function buttons
Function button "A" of the transmitter can be used to
switched off the sun control temporarily if you additionally
use the EWFS Weather station in your system.
Temporary deactivation of the sun control:
nPress the "A" button of the transmitter and hold until
the sun shading system stops moving. Release the but-
ton 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:
nPress and hold the "A" button of the transmitter. Re-
lease 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.
