The Test Mode allows you to test all the loads/wiring connected to the channels. It is independent from the ETS
configuration of the actuator (since the “Manual Control / Param mode + Test mode” is a default option, you can use
the Test mode even before programming the actuator).
Important note: Should a blind/shutter be connected to a channel, the 2 channels may never be closed at the same
time. Therefore, even in Test mode, if the channel is configured as a blind, this safety measure is implemented. For this
reason, it is better to first commission the OUTPUT: CHANNEL TYPE SELECTION before using the Test mode.
To change into the test mode, any button can be used depending of the channel configuration:
- If “Binary” channel is configured: Press any button for at least 500ms
- If “Blind” channel is configured: Press the two buttons of any channel at the same time for at least 500ms
To change back to the normal “Parameter Mode” the same procedure should be repeated. Be aware by changing back
to “Parameter Mode” the device will restart. Also after the device has restarted and if the channel is configured to be a
blind channel, it will do a calibration movement on the first movement command.
In order to indicate that the actuator is in Manual Control / Test Mode, the LED of the selected channel is
continuously making a short blinking action every second; no matter whether the channel is ON (LED ON) or OFF (LED
OFF).
The Action switches/moves the channel, as you can see in the table below:
Binary
Shutter/Blind
Press action: Sends toggle ON/OFF command to the
relay (ON = Contact closed / OFF = Contact open)
LED = ON (indicates channel status)
LED = OFF (indicates channel status)
Rising edge press action (Channel X): Contact closed
Falling edge press action (Channel X): Contact open
LED = ON (indicates channel status)
LED = OFF (indicates channel status)
