Intended use / Foreseeable misuse
Only to be used for switching
elero
radio
drives. Do not make any changes to the unit.
Do not allow the device to fall, do not drill
into the device and do not immerse in liquids.
The manufacturer will not assume liability for
damage caused by the above.
Function
The Protero-868/-915 is a battery-operated
radio transmitter with sensors.
It protects the awning by causing it to auto-
matically retract when it is rattled by heavy
winds or when water collects on the fabric
(inclination change). A sensitivity threshold
is used to detect the triggering event. The
Protero 868/915 has been designed exclu-
sively for use in conjunction with articulated
arm awnings with a box or cartridge.

Programming
Bidirectional radio system
A bidirectional radio system transmits radio
signals to a radio receiver and enables feed-
back from the radio receiver to the transmit-
ter. The radio signal can be sent directly to
the target receiver. The target receiver car-
ries out the command and sends a confirma
-
tion back to the transmitter (only when button
is pressed). In order for bidirectional radio
mode to work, all of the components involved
must be able to transmit and receive radio
signals. Whether bidirectional operation is
possible depends on the bidirectional com-
munication capability of the receiver.
Compatibility with the following
elero
radio
drives or receivers:
SunTop 868 from V25, VariEco 868 from
V20, Combio 868 RM from V79, Revio 868
from V12.
Unidirectional radio system
A unidirectional radio system transmits radio
signals to radio receivers. However, unlike
in a bidirectional radio system, the radio
receiver cannot send any messages to the
transmitter.
Parallel operation of both radio modes is
not possible. After pressing the button [
P
],
the Protero-868/-915 decides whether uni or
bidirectional radio system will be used.
Change to the other radio operating
mode by deleting all transmitters (Prote-
ro-868/- 915
and
hand/wall transmitters)
from the receiver (press [
OPEN
]+[
DOWN/
CLOSE
]+[
STOP
]+[
P
] for 6 seconds), then
program again.
Assembly and commissioning
Check compatibility of the accessories used
before assembly.
•
Screwed in (with screws from the fixing
set) or glued to one end of the outside or
inside of the drop profile without hindering
the closing of the awning.
•
Drill 2 holes in the drop profile according
to the selected fixing element at the spec
-
ified distance: Fix the base plate with the
engraved arrow “oben/up” pointing up-
wards (the longitudinal axis of the Prote-
ro-868/-915 is parallel to the drop profile).
Important: The batteries are not activated at
delivery.
•
To activate, remove the insulating strips on
the battery contacts.
Make sure the radio link is unobstructed.
Do not operate any devices on the same
radio frequency nearby (e.g., wireless head
-
phones).
• Programming the Protero-868/-915 to the
receiver: see “Programming the transmit-
ter/channel”.
• Test regularly to ensure that the sensor is
working properly.
The Protero-868/-915 can only protect the
awning from sudden wind gusts to a limited
degree due to the awning's travel time.
•
In the event of an impending storm, en
-
sure that the awning remains in a retract-
ed position.
After commissioning, check that the thresh
-
olds set allow the awning to retract. The
fac tory default setting ensures safe operation
in most applications.
Programming the transmitter / channel
Requirement: The elero awning drive must be
set and 1 elero radio transmitter must already
be programmed. The Protero-868/-915 can
theoretically be programmes on multiple
elero
awning drives. However, it is recommended
for the sensor to only be programmed to the
receiver on 1 awning.
Important:
Do not press the programming button
P
be-
fore the receiver is in programming mode. If
the receiver is not in programming mode, the
transmitter channel will change to unidirection-
al operation. To return to the initial state, press
the [
STOP
] button and the programming button
[
P
] simultaneously for 6 seconds until the LED
indicator illuminates.
1. Press the [
OPEN
] button, [
DOWN/CLOSE
]
button and the programming button [
P
]
simultaneously for 3 seconds on the trans-
mitter that has already been programmed
to the receiver. The LED illuminates briefly.
The receiver is in programming mode.
2. Press the programming button [
P
] on the
Protero-868/-915 for at least 1 second until
the LED illuminates. The receiver is now in
programming mode and indicates this by
extending and retracting.
3. Press the [
OPEN
] button (max. 1 second)
after the retraction starts.
The blind will stop.
4. Press the [
DOWN/CLOSE
] button (max.
1 second) after the extension starts.
The blind will stop. The Protero-868/-915 is
programmed.

Follow these instructions for safe and proper
use. Keep the instructions for future reference.
Setting the wind sensitivity and inclina-
tion sensitivity
The Protero-868/-915 is delivered with a
basic factory setting. Following assembly
and commissioning, it is necessary to adjust
the sensitivity of the awning to inclination and
wind to suit the local conditions. There must
be no wind when doing this.
Wind sensitivity:
1. Drive the awning to the outer end posi-
tion. When this has been reached, the
Protero-868/-915 will reference within 210
seconds. It is essential to wait until this
time has elapsed!
2.
Now manually move the drop profile with
the mounted Protero 868/915 in order
to mimic vibrations similar to those that
should cause the awning to retract.
3. Depending upon the result (too sensitive
or too insensitive), change the basic fac
-
tory setting of the “acceleration” threshold
switch.
Inclination sensitivity:
1. Now drive the awning back to the outer
end position. Wait for at least 210 seconds
for the Protero-868/-915 to reference
again.
2. Check the preset inclination sensitivity of
1° by very slowly pressing the drop profile
in the outer end position downwards as far
as the point of inclination you find accept
-
able and holding it there.
The awning will retract after at least 210
seconds (position alarm).
3. Depending upon the result (too sensitive
or too insensitive), change the basic facto
-
ry setting of the “angle” threshold switch.
Important:
•
Every setting that is changed must be
checked.
• Test regularly to ensure that the sensors
are working properly. The awning is like-
wise protected against the wind during
extension and retraction.
