• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation are
solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that the sensor is placed in a position pro-
tected against accidental impact with other objects.

PRODUCT
INSTALLATION
For installation, fix the various parts of the product in
numerical order as shown in
fig. 5
. Then rotate the
body of the sensor until the wind sensor blades are
positioned on a horizontal plane as shown in
fig. 4
.
In general, up to 3 the sensor units can be memorised
on the same automation; this enables control of differ-
ent points of the environment.

MEMORISING THE PRODUCT ON THE
AUTOMATION RECEIVER
To memorise the sensor follow the procedure “Mode
I” described in the manual of the associated receiver.
Note
– key
n
(= Stop) on the transmitter specified in
this manual is equivalent to the the sensor key “P1” as
shown in
fig. 6
.
If the original automation instructions are not available
the following memorisation procedure can be used.
•
PROCEDURE “A” – memorising the first
transmitter
Note
– Use this procedure when no radio code has yet
been memorised on the tubular motor
.
01.
Disconnect the tubular motor from the power sup-
ply and re-connect; the motor emits 2 long beeps
(or performs 2 long movements).
Caution! - On
power-up, if the motor emits 2 short beeps
(or performs 2 short movements, or no move-
ment at all), this means that other transmit-
ters have been memorised. In this case, inter-
rupt the procedure and follow “Procedure B”.
02.
Within 5 seconds, press and hold the key “P1” on
the sensor and release once the motor has emitted
the first of the 3 short beeps (or the first of the 3
short movements) to confirm memorisation.
Cau-
tion!
- If the key is not pressed within 5 seconds
the motor emits 1 short beep (or performs 2 short
movements). This indicates memorisation failure.
•
PROCEDURE “B” – memorising other
transmitters
Note
– Use this procedure when other devices are
already memorised on the tubular motor
01.
(on the the sensor to be memorised) Press and
hold the key “P1”, until the motor emits 1 long
beep or for at least 8 seconds;
02.
(on a previously memorised transmitter) Press the
key
n
3 times (slowly) or key “P1” in the case of a
previously memorised the sensor).
03.
(on the the sensor unit to be memorised) Press “P1”
again.
04.
The motor emits 3 short beeps (or performs 3 long
movements) to confirm memorisation.
Note
– If the motor emits 6 short beeps (or performs
6 long movements) this means that the memory is full.

PRODUCT CHECK BY “TEST” MODE
In TEST mode the system sets the sensor thresholds
to minimum. In this way the sensor responds in real
time, without observing the envisaged pause times for
normal operation. This enables a rapid check of system
behaviour.
•
Sun sensor test:
Note
– Reset the status of the motor by cutting the
power for at least 10 seconds.
01.
Turn the knob “Sun” (
fig. 6
) ANTICLOCKWISE to
the position “Test”.
Set the system so that the sun sensor is illumi-
nated with at least 1Klux (outdoor daylight. even if
partially cloudy, should be sufficient; otherwise use
a lamp).
02.
Ensure that the
green
Led emits a series of short
flashes (= threshold exceeded) and that the sensor
activates a Descent command.
03.
Obscure the sensor with the hand (as the thresh-
old is minimum in TEST mode, if the weather is
mild and in full sunlight, the hand may not be suffi-
cient to darken the sensor; in this case use a black
cloth) and check that the led emits a series of short
flashes (= end of exceeding threshold; alternating
red and green flashes) and that the sensor acti-
vates an UP command.
04.
Then turn the “Sun” knob outside the “TEST”
zone.
•
Wind sensor test:
Note
– Reset the status of the motor by cutting the pow-
er for at least 10 seconds.
01.
Turn the knob “Wind” (
fig. 6
) ANTICLOCKWISE to
the position “Test”.
02.
Move the wind sensor blades and ensure that:
a) the sensor sends the awning UP command to
the automation; b) the sensor blocks the possibil-
ity of activating any other command on the auto-
mation (protection of awning against wind); c) the
Led emits a series of brief red flashes
(
= threshold
exceeded
).
03.
At this point stop the blades and ensure that: a)
the sensor unblocks the awning wind protection
and that awning commands are possible; b) the
Led emits a series of brief alternating red and
green flashes (
= end of exceeding threshold
).
04.
Then turn the “Wind” knob outside the “TEST”
zone.
Caution!
During the “Test” on the “sun” or “wind” sensors, the
sensor transmits the commands corresponding to val-
ues ex ceeding the sun or wind thresholds to the con-
trol unit. These commands, on the control unit, activate
the aw ning Down and Up manoeuvres, as well as the
activation of any blocks
or
activation of priority
status
.
To
cancel blocks
generated during the test phase,
simply
switch off the control unit (or motor)
con-
trolled by the sensor
for a few seconds
.
On completion of the checks in TEST mode, the Sun
and Wind sensor knobs can be set to the required val-
ues, using the graduated scale next to the knobs as a
reference.
•
“Sun” knob
As a guideline, this knob should be set to between 15
and 30Klux. If the automation needs to be activated
in the case of very intense sunlight, set the knob to a
higher value.
Otherwise, the “real time” mode can also be used
to set the Sun knob. To use this mode, turn the Sun
