18. Automatic wind function; brief description
This function enables you to use the Troll Basic DuoFern to operate, for example, connected
Venetian blinds or awnings in relation to the weather conditions. The automatic wind function
can also be switched on/off by an overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
As soon as an external "
wind
" signal transducer is detected, the control signal can be transferred
from the
DuoFern network
on the Troll Basic DuoFern.
The direction of operation in the event of wind can also be configured by an
overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
In the event of windy conditions, the Venetian blinds or awnings can be retracted or a draught
stop closed.
If the automatic wind function is active ...
◆
the timer LED

flashes green in a 2 second cycle.
◆
manual operation is no longer possible. automatic movements are no longer executed.
■
the last automatic movement command to be received will be stored and will be
resumed as soon as the wind subsides.
Manual mode and the automatic wind functions are active again, as soon as a period of
15 minutes has elapsed where no wind command was received or the registered signal
transducer (e.g. DuoFern environmental sensor) deactivates the automatic wind functions.
NOTE
◆
The automatic wind function is interrupted in the event of power failure.
◆
If the direction of rotation for wind is set to
DOWN
and wind is detected when the drive
is at the upper end position, then the drive moves back to the upper end position as soon
as no more wind is detected.
Behaviour of the automatic wind function when the automated solar function
is active:
◆
If the automatic wind function is started when the automated solar functions are active,
then the awning moves back to the sunshine position as soon as the automatic wind
function is ended, assuming the automated solar functions are still active.
■
This does not apply if the automatic rain function has activated in the mean time.
