4) Testing
1. As soon as the control unit is powered, you will hear 4 beeps.
2. The Wind level is indicated by a few RED light flashes.
3. The Sun level is indicated by a few GREEN light flashes.
For the correspondence between the number of flashes and the value of the levels see Tables B1 and B2.
The following description refers to the use of a motor for awning automation; however, this procedure can also be used for the other applications.
To make sure that the sensor has been installed properly, follow the steps listed below.
Table “A” Switching on Example
1. As soon as the control unit is powered, you will hear 2 long beeps.
“ON” 5s
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold down button
n
on the transmitter to be memorized
(for about 3 seconds). 3s
3. Release button
n
when you hear the first of the 3 beeps confirming the memorisation.
Note: If the control unit already contains codes, 2 short beeps will be heard when it is switched on. This means that the above procedure is not
valid and you will have to proceed as described in Table “A2”.
Table “A1” Memorizing the first transmitter Example
When the sensor is powered, the following events will take place:
- Power ON audible signal (4 Beeps
)
- RED light flashes (pre-programmed = 3 ), corresponding to the set WIND level,
than GREEN light flashes (pre-programmed = 3 ), corresponding to the set SUN level.
1. Press and hold down button
n
on the new transmitter until you hear a beep (after about 5 seconds).
New 5s
2. Press slowly 3 times button
n
on a previously enabled transmitter (old).
Old X3
3. Press button
n
on the new transmitter once more.
New
4. Finally, 3 beeps will signal that the new transmitter has been correctly memorized.
Note: if the memory is full, 6 beeps will indicate that the transmitter cannot be
4.2) Testing the WIND sensor
- Position the awning at an intermediate point between the open and closed positions.
- Blow air on the anemometer to make it turn (you can use a hair dryer) at a speed that exceeds the programmed threshold (the factory setting is
15 Km/h, corresponding to approximately 4 rev/sec).
- After the WIND threshold has been exceeded for at least 3 seconds, movement should start in the direction corresponding to remote control key
s
.
The RED LED will flash, indicating that the command has actually been transmitted.
4.3) Testing the SUN sensor
- Disconnect and reconnect the power supply to the motor and sensor.
- Position the awning at an intermediate point between the open and closed positions.
- Illuminate the sensor using a light source (sun or lamp) with a brightness that exceeds the programmed threshold (the factory setting is 10 KLux,
corresponding to the SUN of a clear sunny day).
- After 2 minutes, a manoeuvre corresponding to remote control key
t
should start.
The GREEN LED will flash, indicating that the command has actually been transmitted.
Table “A2” Memorizing other transmitters Example
4.1) Memorizing the code
In order for the commands transmitted by the sensor to have effect on the motors and/or control units, the code must be memorized just like for a
remote control. In fact, each remote control is recognized by the receiver through a “code” that differs from all the other codes. Therefore, a memo-
rization stage is required, enabling the receiver to recognize each single radio control. Button (
) must be pressed to enable the use of the device
as a remote control: you will hear a beep ( ) and, after about 1 second, the RED LED will start flashing, indicating that the device is transmitting.
The transmission takes place while the button is being pressed. The transmission lasts approximately 12s max. The memorization procedure depends
on the type of receiver used: see the instructions for the receiver. Most Hunter Douglas automations adopt the following procedure: when the memory
contains no codes, the first radio control can be memorized following the procedure detailed in table A1; however, if one or more transmitters have
already been memorized, additional ones can be enabled following the instructions in Table A2.
