It is also possible to enter programming mode with a known control by pressing 2sec. on its programming button.
With the Universal receiver RTS and a RTS control, it is possible to set one or two favorite positions: one accessible from the top of the awning and one from the bottom.
The both intermediate positions can be reached manually (with a RTS control) by pressing
.
Only the TOP intermediate position can be reached automatically (with the sun detection).
RECORD my FAVORITE POSITION FROM THE TOP OF THE AWNING
- Set the awning at its UP limit with the RTS control.

- Push simultaneoustly
and
of the RTS control until the awning begins to move (about 3 sec).

- Stop the awning at the intermediate position you wish with the RTS control (if necessary, adjust this position with
and
push buttons).
![]()
- Push theebutton of the RTS control during 5 seconds until motor feedback.
-> The Universal receiver RTS has memorized the 1st your favorite position.

SUN FUNCTION
Use a Telis with sun function to activate or deactivate the sun function (e.g: Telis Soliris RTS, Telis Composio RTS...).
Manual mode = Sun function deactivated
Automatic mode = Sun function activated
- Sun appearing
When the intensity of the daylight exceeds the threshold set on your sun sensor (soliris sensor RTS, Sunis sensor RTS), a DOWN order is sent to the awning after 2 min. (Demo: 10 sec.). The awning goes to the
position 1 or to its DOWN end limit position if no
position has been memorised.
![]()
- Sun disappearing
When the daylight level falls below the threshold setting, a variable time delay from 15 - 30 minutes is activated (depending on the sun presence duration). After this time delay, an UP order is given to the awning (Demo: 15 sec.).
![]()
WIND FUNCTION (always activated)
- When the wind speed exceeds the threshold set by your wind sensor (Soliris sensor RTS, Eolis sensor RTS) an UP order is given to the awning within 2 sec. after detection.
![]()
- The SUN function will remain inhibited during 12 min., but after 30 seconds (Demo: 15 sec.), an order can be given with the RTS control.
![]()
To select DEMO or NORMAL mode: Refer to installation guide of the sensor.
