Description ReWiSo has been developed for automatic control and convenient manual operation of an awning or Venetian blind. The controller has a very high degree of flexibility for connection and adjustment and can therefore be adapted individually to different instal- lation conditions.
Description Available automatic functions in overview u Shading according to sun intensity with extension and retraction delay u Extension to a programmed position in the case of adjustable Venetian blinds also with setting of the slat angle u Blocking of sun shading until a preselected indoor temperature is reached (heat containment, only in automatic mode - energy-saving function) u Retraction of sun shading below a preselected outdoor temperature (frost protection, only in automatic mode)
Operation Button assignment and display symbols on the weather data display Automatic Outdoor mode temperature Manual Indoor Battery temperature Rain alarm Wind alarm Manual/ Stop Down Setting Automatic In the normal function, the operating unit of the controller displays the current outdoor temperature (top line) and indoor temperature (bottom line), as well as the operating mode (automatic or manual), the battery charge state and current alarm message for rain or wind.
Operation Automatic mode active Manual mode active. The connected drive was operated manually (with the arrow buttons) or the button was pressed. The automatic functions are thus deactivated and the awning or Venetian blind is not controlled according to brightness or temperature. The safety functions ‘Rain alarm’ and ‘Wind alarm’ remain active.
Operation Manual operation Manual control, pre-setting of the automatic functions and the basic setting of the connected sun shading are performed with the buttons on the operating unit. Stop Down The connected awning or Venetian blind can be operated by hand using the buttons .
Setting the automatic functions In order that the awning or Venetian blind provides optimum sun shading, the values for automatic mode have to be adapted to the conditions on site. The following settings can be made in turn: A. Brightness for the sun shading B.

Setting the automatic functions You are in the automatic settings Exit Confirm/ Next You can exit the automatic settings at any time by pressing the button. The changes made to the values are then not saved. If no button is pressed in the automatic settings for 5 minutes, the display automatically switches back to the temperature display.
A. Brightness for the sun shading In the automatic settings, first enter the brightness above which the sun shading should be extended. The sun intensity is displayed in kilolux (kLux). The value 1 kLux is achieved even with an overcast sky, 20 kLux is achieved when the sun is just coming out and 100 kLux is achieved with a cloudless sky at midday.
B. Extension delay After setting the brightness, now enter the delay time for the extension of the sun shading. This delay ensures that the sun shading does not constantly extend and retract in the event of rapidly changing light conditions. The default setting for the extension is 1 minute.
C. Retraction delay (lower). Then press SET to proceed to the Adjust the value with (higher) and setting of the next parameter. D. Indoor temperature lock After setting the retraction delay, now enter the indoor temperature below which the extension of the sun shading is to be blocked. Using the indoor temperature lock, you can use the heat of the sun to achieve the desired room temperature (e.g.
E. Outdoor temperature lock After setting the indoor temperature lock, now enter the outdoor temperature below which the sun shading should not be moved. The outdoor temperature lock is important when sun shading is installed on the outside of the building. In the event of frost, the awning or Venetian blind can freeze in the guide rails.
Wind alarm After setting the outdoor temperature lock, now enter the value for the wind alarm function. The wind alarm protects outdoor sun shading against damage. If the entered wind value is exceeded, the awning or Venetian blind is retracted and manual operation is blocked. The wind velocity is entered in m/s (metres per second).
H. Saving the automatic settings At the end of the input of the automatic settings, (Save) is displayed to prompt saving of the entered settings. Press the SET button to save your inputs and return to the weather data display. Press to exit the automatic settings without saving.
Basic setting During commissioning of the controller, the basic device settings are entered here. The following settings can be made in turn: 1. Radio connection to the weather station 2. Rotation direction of the motor 3. Running direction 4. Travel command in the event of a wind or rain alarm 5.

1. Radio connection to the weather station The first step is the teach-in (or later also clearing) of the radio connection. The teach-in may only be carried out by a qualified electrician as the programming button is inside the weather station. Select the desired step with the button: (Continue) to skip this step,...
2. Rotation direction of the motor After teaching-in the radio connection, now set the rotation direction of the motor. If the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ cables were connected incorrectly during installation of the drive, this can be corrected in this step. For the rotation direction test, first extend the sun shading slightly.
3. Running direction After setting the rotation direction of the motor, now select whether the sun shading extends from top to bottom or from bottom to top. Sun shading can extend from the top or bottom depending on the model. In this step you can change the assignment of the arrow buttons so that these correspond to the running direction of the sun shading.
4. Travel command in the event of a wind or rain alarm After setting the running direction, you can now select whether the travel command is to be limited in time or continuous in the event of a wind or rain alarm. If a wind or rain alarm is triggered, the sun shading is retracted.
5. Transmission of the weather and automatic data Press the button to switch between the OFF and ON displays. Select: In order not to send weather data and automatic commands (setting for normal awning and Venetian blind controllers). Press the SET button to proceed to the next setting step.
6. Sun shading position After setting the running direction, you can now teach-in a sun shading position. An individual position can be set for awnings or Venetian blinds up to which the sun shading is extended in automatic mode. With adjustable Venetian blinds, the opening angle of the slats can also be set (reversing).
6.1. Retracted position After confirming (Learn), the prompt (Open) appears. First fully retract the awning or Venetian blind so that it provides no sun shading. Then press the SET button to proceed to the next step. 6.2. Setting the desired position The prompt (Close) appears.
6.3. Slat angle The prompt (Reverse) appears. With adjustable Venetian blinds, now open the slats to the desired angle. With awnings or if the Venetian blinds are not to be opened, do not move the sun shading. Then press the SET button to terminate the setting of the sun shading position. 7.
Safety instructions for automatic and alarm functions In the event of a power failure at the weather station, the controller can no longer control the connected drives! If the full scope of functions is to be maintained even without the mains power supply, an emergency power generator with corresponding changeover from mains to emergency operation has to be installed on site.
Installation of the weather station and connection of the drive Location Select an installation position on the building where wind, rain and sun can be detected by the sensors without any impeding structures. No structural parts may be installed above the weather station from which water could drip onto the precipitation sensor after it has already stopped raining or snowing.
Installation of the weather station and connection of the drive Preparation of the weather station 1 = Cover with rain sensor 2 = Cover latch 3 = PCB 4 = Lower housing section Unlock the cover and lift off from above The cover of the weather station with the rain sensor is latched at the lower edge on the left and right (see Fig.).
When connecting motors in parallel, check whether a group control relay is prescribed by the motor manufacturer. Group control relay can be ordered from RADEMACHER. If motors are connected in parallel that are not suitable for this, these and the controller will be damaged.
Installation of the weather station and connection of the drive Insert the cables for the power supply and the drive through the rubber seals on the underside of the weather station and connect the power supply (L1 / N / PE) and the drive (PE / N / Up / Down) to the corresponding terminals.
Installation of the weather station and connection of the drive Notes on installation of the weather station Do not open the weather station if water (rain) could get inside: Even a few drops of water could damage the electronics.
