19. Rain function; brief description
This function enables you to use the Troll Basic DuoFern to operate, for example, a connected
awning in relation to the weather conditions. The automatic rain function can also be switched
on/off by an overriding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
As soon as an external "
rain
" 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 rain can also be configured by an over-
riding DuoFern controller (e.g. HomePilot®).
The awning can be retracted (
up
) or used as a rain cover (
down
) in the event of rain.
Once the automatic rain function is active ...
◆
the timer LED
[
]
flashes green in a 2 second cycle.
◆
manual operation is still possible.
◆
automatic movements are no longer executed.
■
The previously received automatic movement commands are no longer carried out
but will be resumed as soon as the rain subsides.
Manual mode and the automatic wind functions are active again, as soon as a period of 15
minutes has elapsed where no rain command was received or the registered signal transducer
(e.g. DuoFern environmental sensor) deactivates the automatic rain functions.
NOTE
◆
The automatic rain function is interrupted in the event of power failure.
◆
If the direction of rotation for rain is set to
DOWN
and rain 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 rain is detected.
Behaviour of the automatic rain function when the automated solar function is
active:
◆
If the automatic rain function is started when the automated solar functions are active,
then the awning moves back to the sunshine position as soon as the automatic rain
function is ended, assuming the automated solar functions are still active.
■
This does not apply if the automatic wind function has been activated in the mean
time.
