movement is sent during upward or downward movement, the
control unit causes the shutter to change direction.
Operation using a 3-button radio control (BeFree x3 - X6):
When using the BeFree x3 - x6 radio control, you will obtain the
same type of operation as previously described for the BeFree
x1 version; furthermore, the buttons (-) and (+) at the sides of
the radio control may be used to select the (Up - Stop - Down)
commands for 6 different types of operation. Press and hold the
two buttons on the sides of the radio control (-) and (+) for a
few moments to enable and disable sun sensor operation (this
selection is confirmed by the brief up/down movement made by
the motor).

If you notice that when pressing the (Up) button on the radio-
control the control unit causes the shutter to move downwards
instead of upwards, simply repeat the programming procedure
pressing the (Down) button instead of the (Up) button, or invert
the upward movement wire and the downward movement wire
of the motor.

ENTRALISATION
Centralisation via cable using buttons
The centralisation of two or more control units enables upward
or downward movement to take place simultaneously in the
connected pieces of equipment. Centralisation can be per-
formed by connecting the three wires for inputs T3 (Up), T4
(Down) and the shared reference point “GND Signal” in parallel.
Centralisation via radio using a radio control
The centralisation of two or more control units enables upward
or downward movement to take place simultaneously in the
pieces of equipment.
Centralisation is performed by entering two identical codes
(buttons) from one radio control onto all the control units, or a
group of them which are situated at a maximum distance of 20
metres from the point of command, in order to obtain general or
partial motion of more than one automation. To achieve satis-
factory radio centralisation, the installation site should be
chosen carefully. The field of action is not only linked to the
technical features of the device, but also varies according to the
radio-electrical conditions of the site itself.

Step-by-step P/P + Aut Sensors User Present Venetian Blind
1) Step-by-step (Dip 1 and 2 OFF)
The electronic control unit has a cyclic "Step-by-Step" logic,
whose operation depends on the type of control associated with
it, keypad or radio control (see operation with 1-2-3 button radio
control).
2) Step-by-step + Automatic sensors (Dip 1 ON and Dip 2 OFF)
The electronic control unit allows "Step-by-Step" operation as
described above, with the addition of automatic Wind sensor
control. After the activation of one of the two sensors, once the
disturbance is over, the electronic control unit controls the
downward movement of the sun shade after 10 minutes.
3) User present (Dip 1 OFF and Dip 2 ON)
The “User present” operating mode can be obtained using the
radio control and the keypad, i.e. control must be constantly en-
abled so that the blind or shutter can be moved as necessary.
The movement stops when the control is released.
4) Venetian blind operation (Dip 1 and 2 ON)
Venetian blind operation can be obtained using the radio con-
trol and the keypad; this involves 2 seconds of User Present
operation at the very start. It is possible, in this manner, to ro-
tate the slats of the Venetian blind in one direction or the other
in order to modulate the amount of light filtering through as de-
sired. If the transmitted commands last longer than 2 seconds,
the blind will move upwards or downwards (depending on the
button pressed) until the motor running time has elapsed.

CODE
(Radio control programming)
Programming using a 1- or 2-button radio control:
To programme the transmission codes in the radio control, pro-
ceed as follows: press the SEL button; the CODE LED begins
to flash. Send the first preselected code using the relevant ra-
dio control at the same time; the CODE LED begins to flash
rapidly. Send the second code to be stored: the CODE LED will
remain lit and programming will be complete. If the second
code is not sent within 10 seconds the control unit exits the pro-
gramming stage, selecting operation using a single button on
the radio control.
Programming using a 3-button radio control in the “Be-
Free" series:
The control unit allows you to store the whole “BeFree” radio-
control by programming only the Up button.
To programme the “BeFree” radio control codes, follow this pro-
cedure: press the SEL button; the CODE LED begins to flash.
Press the Up button on the desired radio control at the same
time; the CODE LED will remain lit and programming will be
complete.
Deleting the codes:
To delete all transmission codes
stored in the memory, proceed as follows: press the SEL but-
ton; the CODE LED will start to flash. Then press the SET but-
ton; the CODE LED will switch off and the procedure is com-
plete.
Radio control already stored warning:
If the user attempts to perform the programming procedure for
a radio control which is already stored in the memory, the
CODE LED will begin to flash rapidly for a few moments, to in-
dicate that this procedure cannot be performed; the unit then
returns to the programming stage once again.
Maximum number of radio controls which can be stored:
