Venetian blind operation In venetian blind operation, the current slat tilt is saved as well as the interme- diate positions I + II. The saved tilt is applied when moving to the respective in- termediate position. Delay time Response Behaviour in wind 15 min.
Switching actuator operation Pressing a travel button switches the consumer on, and the stop button on the transmitter switches it off. In switching actuator mode, the device behaves dif- ferently to the previous operating modes. Switching between operating modes The running time, tilt, intermediate positions, direction of ro- tation, programmed transmitter and installation data are de- leted when changing operating mode.
If two or more drives are going to be operated via the ra- dio receiver, the drives must be decoupled by relay con- trols. There is no need for decoupling in the case of Becker drives with electronic limit switching. • Always take into account the device switching current.
