6 Control functions
6.1 Manual operating functions
Generally, the following applies:
The control system is equipped with a fixed motor running time
limitation of 140 seconds for the extension of the awning and of a limitation of 155 seconds for its
retraction.
An arbitrary intermediate stop position can be learned while operating in extracting mode, which is then,
upon according operation, approached both in manual and automatic mode operation.
A "learned" intermediate stop position is approached only during the extension of the related awning.
Awnings that, upon "power on", are not in end position (retracted completely) need, prior to approaching
an intermediate stop position, first be homed or synchronized with this position. To realise this, retract
the awning completely first and then wait for 155 seconds.
Operation via hand-held radio transmitter:
No more than maximum three differently pre-coded hand-held radio-controls can be used for the
operation of one control system. Each transmitter disposes of at least two command keys that have
been allocated to each of the awning travel directions, i.e. "UP" (Auf = retracting) and "DOWN"
(Zu = extracting). Actuating the counter-key of the actually operated key triggers a stop command.
Actuating the key "DOWN" (Zu) shortly (< 1.5 seconds) effectuates that an initially retracted awning is
extended up to a "learned" intermediate stop position upon the attaining of which the travel motion is
stopped.
Actuating the key "DOWN" (Zu) for somewhat longer (>=1.5 seconds) effectuates that an initially
retracted awning is extended up to its end position (motor runtime = 140 seconds).
Any actuation of the key "DOWN" (Zu) after the attaining of an intermediate stop position effects that
the awning is extended over the term of the
remaining runtime
.
Any actuation of the key "UP" (Auf) after the attaining of intermediate stop position effects that the
awning is retracted over the term of the
remaining runtime
plus a 15 seconds
reserve time
.
6.2 Automatic operating functions
The coding of at least one sensor has to be "learned" first in order to enable the automatic radio-sensor
based operation of the control system. In the event a sensor coding has been learned, the control
responds, provided the related sensor or other transmitter has been coded accordingly, to the reception
of the following radio commands: "sun", "wind", "rain", "service" and "sun automatic ON/OFF".
Activation / deactivation of the sun automatic mode:
The automatic, sun sensor triggered operation of the system can be activated or deactivated by radio
commands.
The activation or deactivation can be effected by means of the special control keys "Automatik-Ein"
(automatic ON) and "Automatik-Aus" (automatic OFF) that are available on specially equipped
hand-held transmitters.
These commands can be triggered
at any time
, even while the awning is in motion. An "automatic
OFF" command can only be undone by triggering an "automatic ON" command. A short motion of the
awning in both travel directions indicates the activation or deactivation of the automatic mode. In the
event the awning is in motion at the time the related command is triggered, the retraction or extension
operation currently performed is continued after the execution of the above mentioned indication travel.
All actually triggered commands are stored in a power failure safe manner.
Caution!
The manual operation of the control system overrides the operation in sun automatic mode.
Any manually triggered operating command, which effects that the corresponding motor relay is activat-
ed,
interrupts
the sun sensor triggered automatic mode operation.
