    Description The Solexa shading control system has been developed for the automatic control of awnings or blinds and for comfortable manual operation. The control system offers a highest degree of flexibility for installation and setting and may therefore be adjusted individually to different conditions. Please anxiously use this instruction manual in order to adjust the automatic function to your require- ments.

  • Page 5: Overview Of Available Automatic Functions

    The following environmental parameters are measured and displayed: • Outdoor and indoor temperature • Lightness • Wind speed • Precipitation Solexa may be deployed in the control system XS as control centre and as transducer. In this case, the control is upgraded with motor control units and operating units of system XS.

The accomplished changes of the values are not saved in this case. If you do not press any key in the automatic settings for 5 minutes, the display automatically changes to temperature display.

  • Page 12: Lightness For The Shading

    A. Lightness for the shading In the automatic settings, you must indicate at first the lightness from which shading shall start. Sun intensity is displayed in kilolux (kLux). The value of 1 kLux is already reached in case of a cloudy sky, 20 kLux indicates that the sun has just come out and 100 kLux are achieved with blue sky at noon.

  • Page 13: Extension Delay

    B. Extension delay After the setting of the lightness, now enter the delay time for the extension of the shading. The purpose of the delay is that the shading does not permanently extend and retract in case of fast changing lightness conditions. The presetting for the extension is 1 minute.
