The following sections describe the functions of the individual travel times.
4.3.1 Measuring of movement times
The individual times for the movement of shutter/blinds can normally determined very precise by
using a stop watch.
If there are very short times for the movement, the measuring by using a watch will maybe cause
problems. In this case it is advisable to adjust initially an approximated value, which should be a little
bit shorter than the real time for movement. Afterwards you can test the adjusted time by triggering
the shutters or blinds and control whether the final positions are achieved. If they are not achieved,
you should set the time for movement gradually higher by using small steps until the final positions
are achieved.
4.3.2 Movement time
By setting the time for movement, the shutter actuator can be set to the respective time required to
move the blinds/shutters from one end position (fully open or fully closed) to the other end position.
The shutter actuator therefore controls the upward or downward movement for the specified time
value. After the set time has elapsed, the shutter actuator automatically switches off the relay of the
respective channel, even if the end position has not yet been reached.
As blinds/shutters can often be moved up and down for different periods, different times can be set
for the up and down movement.
The travel time extension ensures that the end stops are definitely reached. It does not affect the
calculation of absolute positions. Therefore the exact value should always be specified for the travel
time and the override should be activated by the travel time extension.
If necessary, check whether the vendor has provided information about movement times.
4.3.3 Step time for slats
only at blinds
The step width for the slat adjustment can be used to set the steps in which the slats are to rotate.
The opening angle of the slat can thereby be changed in small steps, for example to prevent dazzling
when the sun position is changing, to tighten sunblinds or to realize a slit position.
In addition, by this setting it is possible to adjust the step width so that the slats move in a certain
number of steps from "fully open" to "fully closed" or vice versa. For this purpose, the step width of
the lamella adjustment has to be set to a multiple of the lamella adjustment time. In this case, the
multiple specifies the number of steps which are required for reaching the one end position from the
other end position.
Example:
Duration of slat adjustment: 3000ms
Step time for slats = 300ms
Number of steps=10
