ASTRO modes
The sunset/sunrise switching times are
calculated as follows:
Sunrise/sunset at set coordinates ± tem-
poral offset in the
settings in the
system menu.
The following settings are possible:
1.
2.
3.
(early)
4.
(late)
For the ASTRO function, the following is essential:
If the set switching time is before noon, the ASTRO function will
operate based on the sunrise time. After noon, the ASTRO func-
tion operates based on the sunset time.
In case of the
and
function, the switching times are
called blocking times.
Switching commands
before
the blocking time in case of
or
after
the blocking time in case of
are adapted by the sys-
tem accordingly.

ASTRO
The ASTRO function is deactivated. The shutters raise/lower at the program-
med switching time.
Sunrise/sunset are not considered.
ASTRO
The shutters are raised/lowered at the calculated sunrise or sunset time (+/- a
possibly defined offset). The programmed switching time will be ignored.
ASTRO
(latest possible blocking time)
The programmed switching time will be used as the latest possible blocking
time.
The switching command to raise/lower the shutter will be carried out at the
latest with the programmed switching time.
Example:
Latest blocking

Sunrise time
Carried out at
7:30 o‘clock
(< noon =
sunrise)

ASTRO
(earliest possible blocking time)
The programmed switching time will be used as the earliest possible blocking
time.
The switching command to raise/lower the shutter will be carried out at the
earliest with the programmed switching time.
Example:
