Commissioning
You can find instruction videos on our
YouTube channel at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/SonnenLichtManager/videos
A battery has already been placed in the battery compart-
ment at the factory. Your device comes ready for operation.
Installation
Do not install the device until you have first performed
the learning-in procedure and carefully checked all of the
functions. Due to both legal regulations for radio systems
and structural factors, the operating range of radio remote
controls is limited. Therefore, adequate radio reception
must be kept in mind during planning. This is especially
important where the radio signal must pass through walls
and ceilings. The device should not be installed in the
immediate vicinity of metallic surfaces (steel beams, fire
door). Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors
or neighbouring transmitters) may interfere with reception.
 Therefore, check to ensure that the control unit func-
tions properly before the final installation:
 Temporarily hold the wall-mounted transmitter in the
desired mounting position and check whether the
desired move commands can be performed without
any problems. If this is not the case, select a different
installation location and test the commands again.
 If the device still cannot be operated without any prob-
lems, switch off any potential sources of interference,
such as a baby monitor.
Once the system functions flawlessly, you can install the
mounting plate:
The EWFS Wall-mounted transmitter basic consists of a
mounting frame and an operating element (wall-mounted
transmitter).
 Attach the mounting frame to the wall using the coun-
tersunk screws and dowels included.
 Position the central frame/plate of the switch program
you require.
 Clip on the EWFS Wall-mounted transmitter basic.
Clipping the EWFS wall-mounted transmitter basic and
central frame/plate into the available snap-in latches
will hold them in place on the mounting frame.
OTICEN Only use countersunk head screws so that the
screws are flush with the mounting frame and
the EWFS Wall-mounted transmitter basic can
be securely clipped on.
OTICEN When planning the installation location, be sure
to allow enough space for the central frame/
plate that you require for your particular instal-
lation.
The central frame/plate can be ordered as an
optional accessory if needed.

Operation
OTICEN A receiver and connected sun shading system
cannot be operated until a transmitter has been
learned in successfully.
Operating the EWFS Wall-mounted transmitter basic:
 After the "Up" or "Down" button has been pressed, the
transmission LED lights up briefly and the sun shad-
ing system moves in the corresponding direction. The
system can be stopped by pressing either the other
directional button or the stop button.
Switching sun control on or off
The sun control automatic mode can be switched on or off
permanently using the sliding switch (see Fig. 3).
 After inserting the battery, use a pointed object (pa-
perclip, ballpoint pen) to slide the switch to the "OFF"
position (see Fig. 3).
 Press and hold the "S" button. The LED on the front
briefly lights up red, and the move command is sent.
Release the button again when the sun shading sys-
tem waves.
Sun control is now permanently switched off.
Symbols used
When the receiver is delivered, it does not "know" any
transmitters initially and therefore must first learn which
transmitters it should respond to. We refer to this process
as "learning-in".
Explanation of symbols:
Power-up: In order to learn in a transmitter, you
must de-energise a receiver or a group of receiv-
ers, either at the upstream in-line circuit breaker
or at the corresponding plug-in connector, and
then energise it again after approx. 5 seconds.
(Power-up procedure.) Always perform a power-up
procedure when you see the in-line circuit breaker
symbol.
Here, the receiver is in the learn mode for approx.
one minute. The learn button on the transmitter
must be pressed during this time interval or the
receiver will exit the learn mode. Press the learn
button on your transmitter whenever you see the
learn button symbol.
Wave: After you press the learn button on the
transmitter, the connected sun shading system
carries out several movements in a waving motion.
In these instructions, we use the adjacent symbol
to denote waving. Single wave: Press the learn
button on the transmitter, wait until the connected
sun shading system moves, and then release the
button immediately.
Learning in a master channel
In this section, a channel will be learned into a receiver
(shown using the example of an EWFS Plug receiver).
When you perform a power-up procedure on the receiver,
the receiver learns in the first channel it receives as the
master channel:
= Master channel
?
Fig. 5 The receiver does not "know" any channels yet (left).
A new channel is learned in and becomes the master
channel (right).
 Perform the steps below in the order shown:
Put receiver in learn
mode: Perform the pow-
er-up procedure on the
receiver.
Learn in master channel:
On the wall-mounted
transmitter, press and
hold the learn button.
When the sun shading
system waves once, re-
lease the button.
Receiver automatically
exits learn mode. The
wall-mounted transmitter
is now the master channel
on the receiver.
Result: The receiver now knows a master channel.
OTICENAll channels learned into the receiver after the
first channel are learned as auxiliary channels. If
the receiver already knows a master channel, the
power must not be cut off to enter the learn mode
again for the auxiliary channels, since this master
channel must be used to start the learn mode.

Learning in an auxiliary channel
Now an auxiliary channel will also be learned into the
receiver. Auxiliary channels can be used for the following
purposes:
To allow multiple people to operate the sun shading
system with their own wall-mounted or hand-held trans-
mitters.
To enable operation of the sun shading system using
different transmitters, e.g. manual operation with a
wall-mounted or hand-held transmitter, automatic con-
trol mode with a time switch.
An important feature of auxiliary channels is that they
can be used to build groups.

= Master channel = Auxiliary channel
Fig. 6 Operating a receiver with a master channel (I) and
auxiliary channel (II). To enter the learn mode, use the
wall-mounted or hand-held transmitter on the master
channel.
 Perform the steps below in the order shown:
Put receiver in learn
mode: On the wall-mount-
ed or hand-held transmit-
ter that was just used to
learn in the master chan-
nel (I), press and hold the
learn button. When the
sun shading system
waves once, release the
button.
Learn in wall-mounted
transmitter (II) as an aux-
iliary channel: Using the
wall-mounted transmitter
(II), press and hold the
learn button. When the
sun shading system
waves once, release the
button.
Exit learn mode: Using the
wall-mounted or hand-held
transmitter on the master
channel (I), press the UP
or DOWN button. When
the sun shading system
moves, the learn mode is
no longer active.
Result: The sun shading system can now be operated
using both wall-mounted transmitters (or one
wall-mounted and one hand-held transmitter.
The wall-mounted transmitter (II) is the auxiliary
channel.

OTICEN Only the receiver is capable of learning, not the
transmitter. Learning in auxiliary channels is the
first step to building groups. When you wish to
learn in an auxiliary channel, do not perform
the power-up procedure, as you will need to
start the learn mode using the master channel.
OTICENAn auxiliary channel can be a 1-channel trans-
mitter, one channel of an 8-channel transmitter, a
channel of the EWFS Timer or a weather station.
OTICENIMPORTANT! A receiver can manage one
master channel and up to 15 additional auxiliary
channels, for a total of 16 different channels.
Any attempt to learn in a greater number of
channels will fail.
OTICEN For learning transmitters into other products,
as well as additional information on the topic
of learning-in, please refer to the operating and
installation instructions for the receivers.
