  • Page 11: Notes On Radio Devices

    Notes on radio devices When performing the layout, ensure that there is sufficient radio range. The range of wireless control systems is limited by the statutory regulations governing wireless devices, and by site conditions (if the radio signal must penetrate walls and ceilings). A minimum distance of 30 cm must be maintained between wireless transmitters in order not to compromise the quality of reception.
  • Page 12 Should cleaning or maintenance work be performed in proximity to the shades or windows, the control system (weather stations and motor control units) must be without voltage by tripping the fuse fitted on site, and secured against re- activation. This is to ensure that the switched-off drives cannot operate. A certain amount of time may pass before falling rain is recognised by the weather station, depending on the rain amount and outdoor temperature.
