rent movement is sent during upward or downward movement,
the control unit causes the shutter to change direction.
Operation using a 3-button radio control (BeFree x3 - X6):
When using the BeFree x3 - x6 radio control, you will obtain
the same type of operation as previously described for the Be-
Free x1 version; furthermore, the buttons (-) and (+) at the
sides of the radio control may be used to select the (Up - Stop
- Down) commands for 6 different types of operation. Press
and hold the two buttons on the sides of the radio control (-)
and (+) for a few moments to enable and disable Sun sensor
operation (this selection is confirmed by the brief up/down
movement made by the motor).

NVERSION OF THE ROTATION MOTOR
If you notice that when pressing the (Up) button on the radio-
control the control unit causes the shutter to move downwards
instead of upwards, simply repeat the programming procedure
pressing the (Down) button instead of the (Up) button, or invert
the upward movement wire and the downward movement wire
of the motor.

ENTRALISATION
Centralisation via cable using buttons
The centralisation of two or more control units enables upward
or downward movement to take place simultaneously in the
connected pieces of equipment. Centralisation can be per-
formed by connecting the three wires for inputs T3 (Up), T4
(Down) and the shared reference point “GND Signal” in paral-
lel.
Centralisation via radio using a radio control
The centralisation of two or more control units enables upward
or downward movement to take place simultaneously in the
pieces of equipment.
Centralisation is performed by entering two identical codes
(buttons) from one radio control onto all the control units, or a
group of them which are situated at a maximum distance of 20
metres from the point of command, in order to obtain general
or partial motion of more than one automation. To achieve sat-
isfactory radio centralisation, the installation site should be
chosen carefully. The field of action is not only linked to the
technical features of the device, but also varies according to
the radio-electrical conditions of the site itself.

PERATION
The electronic control unit will send a command for the down-
ward movement of the sun blind after 10 minutes of bright con-
ditions above the threshold selected for the Sun sensor and
indicated by the lit SUN LED. It will then send a command for
upward movement after 10 minutes at a brightness level which
is lower than the selected threshold.

Step-by-step P/P + Aut Sensors User Present Venetian

1) Step-by-step (Dip 1 and 2 OFF)
The electronic control unit has a cyclic "Step-by-Step" logic,
the operation of which depends on the type of control associ-
ated with it.
2) Step-by-step + Automatic sensors (Dip 1 ON and Dip 2 OFF)
The electronic control unit allows "Step-by-Step" operation as
described above, with the addition of automatic Wind and Rain
sensor control. After one of the two sensors has been acti-
vated, once the disturbance is over, the electronic control unit
will send a command for the downward movement of the sun
blind after 10 minutes.
3) User present (Dip 1 OFF and Dip 2 ON)
The “User present” operating mode can be obtained using the
radio control and the keypad, i.e. control must be constantly
enabled so that the blind or shutter can be moved as neces-
sary. The movement stops when the control is released.
4) Venetian blind operation (Dip 1 and 2 ON)
Venetian blind operation can be obtained using the radio con-
trol and the keypad; this involves 2 seconds of User Present
operation at the very start. It is possible, in this manner, to ro-
tate the slats of the Venetian blind in one direction or the other
in order to modulate the amount of light filtering through as de-
sired. If the transmitted commands last longer than 2 seconds,
the blind will move upwards or downwards (depending on the
button pressed) until the motor running time has elapsed.

SEL button: selects the type of function to store in the mem-

function can be selected by pressing the button repeatedly.
The selected function remains active for 15 seconds (flashing

SET button: programmes the function that has been selected
using the SEL. button.

1) CODE ( Radio control programming )
Programming using a 1- or 2-button radio control:
To programme the transmission codes in the radio control,
proceed as follows: press the SEL button; the CODE LED be-
gins to flash. Send the first preselected code using the relevant
radio control at the same time; when the CODE LED begins to
flash rapidly send the second code to be stored. The CODE
LED will remain lit and the programming will be complete. If the
second code is not sent within 10 seconds, the control unit ex-
its the programming phase and selects operation using a sin-
gle radio control button.
Programming using a 3-button radio control in the “Be-
Free" series:
The control unit allows you to store the whole “BeFree” radio-
control by programming only the Up button.
