1. Brief introduction to the Chronis Smart RTS
This guide describes the installation steps required to make the best use of the Chronis Smart
RTS. Advanced installation functions are available on our website (address on the back cover of
these instructions).
1.1 What is the Chronis Smart RTS for?
The Chronis Smart RTS is a wireless, programmable radio control point, compatible only with
products
fi
tted with Radio Technology Somfy (RTS), e.g. roller shutter motors, awning motors etc.
The Chronis Smart RTS is also called a “timer”.
The Chronis Smart RTS enables the product to be opened and closed once a day according to
the pre-programmed times. For example, the Chronis Smart RTS may open the roller shutters
at 7:30 in the morning during the week and at 10:00 on a Sunday. The Chronis Smart RTS also
enables automatic closing as soon as it gets dark, even if there is nobody at home.
Any linked products can also be opened and closed manually from the Chronis Smart RTS.
The Chronis Smart RTS is used:
as an individual control to control a single product (e.g. one roller shutter or one awning) at
•
a time;
as a group control to control several products (e.g. several roller shutters and/or awnings) at
•
the same time.
