4.1.2. Notes on wireless equipment
When planning facilities with devices that communicate via radio, adequate radio re-
ception must be guaranteed. The range of wireless control will be limited by legal reg-
ulation and structural circumstances. Avoid sources of interference and obstacles be-
tween receiver and transmitter, that could disturb the wireless communication. Those
would be for example:
•
Walls and ceilings (especially concrete and solar protection glazing).
•
Metal surfaces next to the wireless participants (e. g. aluminium construction
of a conservatory).
•
Other wireless devices and powerful local transmitters (e.g. wireless
headphones), which transmit on the same frequency (868,2 MHz). Please
maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm between wireless transmitters for that
reason.
The transmission performance and reception sensitivity can be improved by means of
an external antenna. During installation, a conduit should be placed beneath the reces-
sed housing, in which the external antenna can be mounted.
4.1.3. Safety notice for automatic and alarm
functions
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to automatically moved components!
The automatic control may cause parts of the system to travel
and pose a danger to humans.
• No persons may remain in the travelling range of parts
driven by an electric motor.
• Adhere to the relevant building regulations (see guideline for
power-operated windows, doors and gates BGR 232 et al).
• Always disconnect the system from the mains power before
maintenance or cleaning (e.g. switch off/remove fuse).
Precipitation warning for automatically controlled windows:
Some time can pass before falling rain is recognised by the sensors in the system, de-
pending on the rain amount and outdoor temperature. Furthermore, a closure time
must be calculated for electrically-actuated windows or sliding roofs. Humiditysensi-
tive items should therefore not be placed in an area where they might be damaged by
incoming precipitation. Please also bear in mind that in the event of a power failure and
rainfall, a window will not be automatically closed if no emergency generator is in-
stalled.
Running rails of shades icing up:
Note that the rails of shutters, awnings and blind which are externally mounted can ice
up. Operating the drive under such conditions can damage the shades and drives.
