General information
Fig. 1 EWFS Plug receiver
The EWFS Plug receivers enable the simple and cost-
effective retrofitting of a wireless remote control for sun
shade drives. Absolutely no electrical installation work
is required for this. The plug receivers can receive move
commands from EWFS-compatible transmitters, such as
EWFS Hand-held transmitters, EWFS Timers or EWFS
Weather stations, and are available with two different oper-
ating modes: permanent mode (PL) and radio time mode
(FZL).
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
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.
ARNINGW
Switch off the supply voltage of the EWFS
Plug receiver when you perform activi-
ties on products connected to the plug
receiver. 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 may 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 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
EWFS Plug receiver 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.
EWFS Plug receiver FZL (radio time logic):
This mode is useful for slat products: By briefly activat-
ing (approx.0.6seconds) the UP or DOWN button on
the transmitter, you can adjust the sun shading product in
small steps. This function can be used with slat products
to tilt the slats. If the button continues to be activated, the
radio time mode switches to the lock mode. The button
may then be released. The sun shading system moves
until the fixed run time of three minutes has expired. To
release the lock and stop the motor, the button for the op-
posite direction of movement or the stop button must be
pressed briefly.

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 iso-
late a receiver or a group of receivers, either
at the in-line circuit breaker or at the associ-
ated 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 symbol of the
circuit breaker.
The receiver is now in learn mode for ap-
prox. one minute. The learn button on the
transmitter must be pushed within this period
or the learning mode is closed. Push the
learn button on your transmitter whenever
you see the learn button symbol.
Wave: After the learn button on the transmit-
ter is activated, the connected sun shad-
ing 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 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 external venetian blinds with
an 8-channel hand-held transmitter (I) as follows:
Channel1 controls external venetian blind1 (master
channel)
Channel2 controls external venetian blind2 (master
channel)
Channel3 controls both external venetian blinds to-
gether (auxiliary channel)

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 pro-
cedure 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 ap-
plication brochure" at http://www.warema.de →
Produkte → Steuerungssysteme → Funksysteme.
2nd step: Learn in the auxiliary channel
You can now operate the external venetian blinds sepa-
rately, 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 external venetian blinds can later be operated as a
group with channel 3 but they can still be operated sepa-
rately via the master channels 1 and 2. The next step is to
learn the auxiliary channels:
Learning channel 3 into external venetian blind 1
Place receiver1 into learn
mode: Select channel1,
press and hold the learn
button, external venetian
blind1 waves once, re-
lease the button.
Learn channel3 as an
auxiliary channel: Select
channel3. Press and hold
the learn button, external
venetian blind1 waves
once, release the button.
Channel3 is now an aux-
iliary channel for external
venetian blind1.
End the learn mode: Se-
lect channel1 and press
the UP or DOWN button.
Result: External venetian blind1 now can also be oper-
ated with channel3.
Learning channel 3 into external venetian blind 2
Place receiver2 into learn
mode: Select channel2,
press and hold the learn
button, external venetian
blind 2 waves once, re-
lease the button.
Learn channel3 as an
auxiliary channel: Select
channel3, press and hold
the learn button, external
venetian blind2 waves
once, release the button.
Channel3 is now an aux-
iliary channel for external
venetian blind2.
End the learn mode: Se-
lect channel2 and press
the UP or DOWN button.
Result: External venetian blind2 now can also be operated
with channel3

= Master channel = Auxiliary channel
Fig. 3 Auxiliary channels in receiver 1 and 2 are to be deleted.
n Carry out the following steps consecutively with the re-
spective 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 external venetian
blind no longer carries out
any movement!
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 external
venetian blind 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 chan-
nels 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 station 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.
ORSICHTV
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 switch
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.
Installation
nFirst switch off the mains supply at the upstream fuse.
nLocate the plug-in connector for the electric drive,
release the safety catch and disconnect the connec-
tor and plug. Next, connect these to the EWFS Plug
receiver and lock the plug-in connection with the safety
catch.
nThe EWFS Plug receiver must not be subjected to di-
rect sunlight. Route the cable in such a way that water
cannot flow along the cable into the device. The EWFS
Plug receiver must be mounted securely (jolt-free
mounting). If several EWFS Plug receivers are in use,
they must be mounted a minimum distance of 0.5m
apart.
nWhen mounting the plug receiver behind a metal
panel: Mount the plug receiver such that the side of the
housing with the printed radio waves symbol faces
the opening of the panel. This ensures the best possi-
ble radio reception.
Special mounting housings in different colours are avail-
able for protection from the weather and for discrete instal-
lation of the EWFS Plug receiver on the facade.

OTICEN The EWFS Plug receiver does not fit into
the mounting housings with article numbers
317381, 317382 and 317383 because of its
larger dimensions.
Commissioning

 After the device is connected, the manually oper-
ated switch, if present, must be permanently set to
the UP position and kept there. If you select a differ-
ent position, the power supply to the device will be
interrupted, preventing your sun shading product from
being moved in high winds. After retrofitting, the switch
can no longer be used to operate the equipment.
Therefore, have your electrician electrically bridge the
snap-in switch.
 Switch the mains supply back on. The device is then
ready to operate.
Activate the sun control again:
nPress 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 func-
tion.
Maintenance
There are no parts within the device that require mainte-
nance.
Liability
Failure to comply with the product information in these
instructions and use of the device in a manner that con-
travenes its intended use and purpose may result in the
manufacture refusing to honour warranty claims for prod-
uct damage. In this case, liability for consequential harm
to persons or damage to property will also be excluded.
Follow also the instructions in the operating manual of
your sun shading system. The automatic or manual opera-
tion of the sun shading system when iced over as well as
using the sun shading system during severe weather may
cause damage and must be prevented by the user by tak-
ing suitable precautions.
Disposal
After its use, the device must be disposed of according to
legal regulations or returned to your local recycling centre!
