General information
Fig. 1
EWFS Piccolo PL
The EWFS Piccolo PL radio receiver is an electronic
control device for the direct actuation of 230 V AC sun
shading drives. It can receive move commands from
EWFS-compatible transmitters. The switching contacts
are floating. The receiver is supplied with 24 V DC either
via an existing control line, a floor distribution control or a
power supply unit. The receiver can be operated by means
of an overriding sun shading control system. Because of
its compact design, the receiver can be installed in a flush-
mounted junction box.
Intended use
The EWFS Piccolo PL radio receiver was developed to
control sun shading systems. The approval of the manu-
facturer must be obtained for uses outside of the purpos-
es listed in these instructions.
Safety instructions
WARIRG
W
The electrical installation must be per-
formed by a certified electrician in accord-
ance with the electrical installation regula-
tions published by the Wssociation of Ger-
man Electrical Engineers (VDE 0100) or the
standards and regulations of the country
in which the device is being installed. The
electrician must observe the installation
instructions included with the electrical
device.
WARIRG
W
If hazard-free operation cannot be
assumed, the device may not be started or
must be deactivated. This assumption is
justified if
the housing or the supply lines show signs
of damage
the device is no longer working.
WATIIR
C
Never activate buttons on your transmitter
arbitrarily without visual contact to the sun
shading product. Children may not play with
this product - Remote controls or transmit-
ters must not get into the hands of children!
The range of radio controls is restricted by legal regula-
tions for radio systems and through structural factors.
Adequate radio reception must be ensured when plan-
ning the project. This applies especially if the radio signal
must penetrate through walls and ceilings. The control unit
should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of metal
components (steel beams, steel-reinforced concrete, fire
door).
n
Therefore, check that the receiver is functioning proper-
ly before the final installation.
Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors or
neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception.
Function
PL (permanent mode):
This operating mode is useful for fabric products and
roller shutters: The sun shading product responds to the
operation of the "Up" or "Down" button on the transmitter
by moving in the corresponding direction and immediately
goes into lock mode. The button may be released immedi-
ately and the sun shading system will move until the fixed
run time of 3 minutes has expired. To release the lock and
stop the motor, the button for the opposite direction of
movement or the stop button must be pressed briefly.
Central operation
The local operation is blocked for the duration of a central
command; any current move commands are deleted.
