To programme the “BeFree” radio control codes, follow this
procedure: press the SEL button; the CODE LED begins to
flash. Press the Up button on the desired radio control at the
same time; the CODE LED will remain lit and programming will
be complete.
Deleting the codes:
To delete all transmission codes
stored in the memory, proceed as follows: press the SEL but-
ton; the CODE LED will start to flash. Then press the SET but-
ton; the CODE LED will switch off and the procedure is com-
plete.
Radio control already stored warning:
If the user attempts to perform the programming procedure for
a radio control which is already stored in the memory, the
CODE LED will begin to flash rapidly for a few moments, to in-
dicate that this procedure cannot be performed; the unit then
returns to the programming stage once again.
Maximum number of radio controls which can be stored:
If the maximum number of radio controls has been reached
and a programming process started, the control unit will indi-
cate that it has failed by flashing all the LEDs except the CODE
LED, which will remain lit in a constant manner. After 10 se-
conds the control unit exits programming mode.
2)
SENS. CODE (Wireless sensor programming)
Wireless sensor programming (Sun – Wind – Rain):
To programme the Wireless sensor transmission code, pro-
ceed as follows: Use the SEL button to navigate to a position
where the SENS. CODE LED flashes; at the same time, send
the Wireless sensor code using the special button inside the
sensor. The SENS. CODE LED will remain lit in a fixed manner
and programming will be complete. If the Wireless sensor code
is not sent within 2 minutes, the control unit exits programming
mode.
Deleting the codes:
To delete the Wireless Sensor codes stored in the memory,
proceed as follows: press the SEL button; the SENS. CODE
LED will start to flash. Then press the SET button; the SENS.
CODE LED will switch off and the procedure is complete.
Wireless sensor already stored warning:
If the user attempts to perform the programming procedure for
a Wireless sensor which is already stored in the memory, the
SENS. CODE LED will begin to flash rapidly for a few mo-
ments, to indicate that this procedure cannot be performed; the
unit then returns to the programming stage once again.
Maximum number of Wireless sensors which can be
stored:
If the maximum number of Wireless sensors has been reached
and a programming process started, the control unit will indi-
cate that it has failed by flashing all the LEDs except the
SENS. CODE LED, which will remain lit in a constant manner.
After 10 seconds the control unit exits programming mode.
Warning indicator:
If there is no communication between the Wireless sensor and
the control unit, after 20 minutes the safety upward movement
will be activated automatically. If this lack of communication
persists, further commands will still, nevertheless, result in the
control unit being set to safety mode.
3)
T. MOT. (Max. Motor Timer programming time 4 minutes)
The control unit comes with a motor power supply time of two
minutes (T. MOT. LED OFF).
The motor running time must be programmed when the shutter
is down, in the following manner:
Press the SEL button until the T. MOT LED flashes, then press
and hold the SET button; the shutter will begin to move up-
wards. Once the desired position has been reached, release
the SET button; at this very moment, the motor running time
will be stored and the T. MOT LED will remain lit.
If you are using an automation which has a stop limit, we rec-
ommend that you set a time which exceeds the stop limit of the
shutter by a few seconds.
If you want unlimited motor time, perform the same program-
ming procedure, holding down the SET button for less than two
seconds; the T. MOT LED will remain lit and the unlimited time
function will be set. The procedure may be repeated if a mis-
take is made during programming.
4) WIND SPEED (Wind Safety threshold programming)
Displaying the programmed Wind threshold:
The Wind Safety threshold may be displayed in the following
way: use the SEL button to navigate to the WIND SPEED LED
position; the LED will double-flash the same number of times
as the stored Wind Safety threshold (each WIND SPEED LED
double-flash corresponds to an increase of 5 km/h), (for exam-
ple: 5 WIND SPEED LED flashes = 25 km/h).
Wind Safety threshold selection from 5 to 40 km/h
The sensor is supplied with a default Wind Safety threshold
setting of 25 km/h (WIND SPEED LED OFF).
The Wind Safety threshold may be programmed in the follow-
ing way: use the SEL button to navigate to the WIND SPEED
LED, then press the SET button to start the programming pro-
cedure: the WIND SPEED LED will double-flash at the same
time (each WIND SPEED LED double-flash corresponds to an
increase of 5 km/h). Press the SET button when the desired
threshold has been reached; at that moment the selected value
will be stored in the memory and the WIND SPEED LED will
remain lit (for example: 5 WIND LED double-flashes = 25
km/h).
The procedure may be repeated if a mistake is made during
programming.
5) SUN SENSOR (Sun sensor ON/OFF)
Enabling the Sun sensor:
The control unit comes with the Sun sensor disabled (SUN
SENSOR LED OFF).
The Sun sensor may be enabled in the following way: press
the SEL button until the SUN SENSOR LED flashes, then
press the SET button briefly; at this moment the SUN SENSOR
LED remains lit and the Sun sensor will be enabled. Repeat
the procedure to disable the Sun sensor.
Enabling the Sun sensor using a 3-button radio control
(BeFree x3 - X6):
The Sun sensor may be enabled in the following way: press
and hold the (+) button on a previously stored radio control for
5 seconds; the control unit will cause the shutter to move
Up/Down for 1 second to confirm that the Sun sensor has been
enabled, and the SUN SENSOR LED will remain lit. Repeat the
same procedure to disable the Sun sensor, instead holding
down the (-) button for 5 seconds.
6) RAIN SENSOR (Rain sensor ON/OFF)
Disabling the Rain sensor:
The control unit comes with the Rain sensor enabled (RAIN
SENSOR LED ON).
The Rain sensor may be disabled in the following way: press
the SEL button until the RAIN SENSOR LED flashes, then
press the SET button briefly; at this moment the RAIN
SENSOR LED switches off and the Rain sensor will be dis-
abled. Repeat the procedure to enable the Rain sensor.
EXTENDED MENU
The control unit is supplied by the manufacturer with the option
of selecting only the functions listed in the main menu.
