Troubleshooting

Type of malfunction

Possible cause

Aemedy

The sun shading system does not wave 
when the 

 

button is pressed (the status 

LED flashes green while the   button is 

pressed)

The receiver is not in learn mode

Place the receiver into learn mode

No operating voltage at the receiver

Switch on the mains voltage

The sun shading system is driven by the 

EWFS tubular motor

For design reasons, EWFS tubular motors 
do not respond when the   button is 

pressed

The sun shading system does not wave 
when the button is pressed 

 

(status LED 

does not flash)

The operating voltage of the weather sta-

tion failed

Switch on the mains voltage

When activated with the transmitter, the 

sun shading system moves down only 

briefly and then back up

A wind alarm was triggered

Wait 10 minutes until the wind alarm is 

cleared. Then repeat the move command

The sun shading system retracts even in 

low winds.

The wind speed limit is set too low

Set the correct wind speed limit after con-

sulting the specialist dealer.

The wind speed limit depends on the most 

wind-sensitive product controlled by the 

weather station.

The sun shading system does not retract 

in high winds

The wind speed limit is set too high

Lower the wind speed limit

The weather station is installed in an area 

protected against the wind

Check the mounting position

The sun shading system is not lowered in 

sunshine

The brightness limit value is set too high

Decrease the value incrementally

The sun shading system does not move 

up in cloudy weather

The brightness limit value is set too low

Increase the value incrementally

The sun shading system does not move 

up during precipitation

Precipitation monitoring is switched off

Switch precipitation monitoring on at the 

weather station (the status LED must light 

up green permanently)

The sun shading system retracts although 

there is no precipitation

The sensor surface of the precipitation 

sensor is dirty or became moist due to 

factors that are not weather related (bird 

droppings, spayed water)

Clean the sensor surface  

(see "Cleaning")

The sun shading system unexpectedly 

moves up for no apparent reason

The operating voltage of the weather sta-

tion failed or the weather station cannot 

be received. The sun shading system is 

retracted for safety reasons

Switch on the mains voltage, check the 

installation

No communication between the weather 

station and the sun shading system or 

the EWFS Plug receiver (interference from 

unrelated transmitters or device faulty)

Switch off unrelated transmitters, check 

that the device is operating properly

The sun shading system can only be low-

ered in stages and stops after 5 seconds

The operating voltage of the weather sta-

tion failed or the weather station cannot be 

received. The sun shading system cannot 

be operated normally until the weather sta-

tion is received again

Switch on the mains voltage, check the 

installation

Move commands of the weather station 

are executed only sporadically

Interference through unrelated transmitters

Switch off unrelated transmitters (baby 

monitors)

There are reinforced concrete covers or 

steel-reinforced concrete walls between the 

weather station and receiver

Reduce the distance to the receiver
