Programming
Timeout after alarm
If the awning is retracted following an “posi-
tion or acceleration alarm”, extension is only
possible again after a timeout of approx. 15
minutes. During the timeout, any extension
is stopped automatically after approximately
3 seconds and an automatic forced retraction
takes place (locking movement).
The timeout can be ended earlier as follows:
•
During the locking movement, press the
[
STOP
] button on the programmed trans-
mitter and then press the [
OPEN
] button.
After reaching the upper end position the
drive switches off, after which the time-out
is ended.
•
On a programmed wall transmitter, move
the Auto/Manual sliding switch to the other
position and then back again.
•
On a programmes hand-held transmitter,
use the selection button to switch from
automatic mode to manual mode.
Replacing the battery
If the extension of the awning is interrupt-
ed twice (loss movement), this is a sign of
nearly empty batteries, that are in need of
replacement.
If the awning can no longer be extended
(3 seconds extension, 1 second stop, 1 sec
-
ond extension, then retraction to upper end
position), the batteries must be replaced.
1.
If the awning is retracted, press the
extension button on the hand/wall trans-
mitter.
2. The awning extends for approx. 3 seconds
and stops briefly due to the absence of
wind monitoring.
3. The awning subsequently retracts. Im-
mediately press the [
STOP
] button (while
retracting). The awning now stops in this
position.
4. Disconnect the drive from the power supply.
5.
Unscrew central sheet metal screw with
a suitable tool. Remove housing and
silicone seal.
6.
Change the batteries. Use only Mignon
LR6 (not rechargeable) batteries. Pay
attention to correct polarity.
7.
Replace housing and silicone seal on the
base plate.
8. Restore power supply for drive.
9. Check entire functionality.
After a battery change, the Prote
-
ro-868/-915 remains programmed on the
drive.
10.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with environmental regulations.
