CONNECTION DIAGRAM

INSTALLATION - BASICS

• Disconnect the installation supply voltage before installing the controller. Remember that any mounting works should be carried out when the mains voltage is disconnected (switch o the mains fuse or disconnect the power cord from the mains socket).
• The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions, protected from third party access - in the ush box or inside the enclosure of the controlled device. Remember that metallic elements (wires, housing parts) have a negative in uence on the range of the device, and consequently the comfort of use. It is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and xed position. Due to the operating voltage of the device it is necessary that the connectors of the controller be protected against accidental contacts or short circuits, which could cause electric shock or damage to the device.
• Read the diagram and then proceed to install the controller. Pay particular attention to the designation of the controller connectors. Start with power wires - phase L (usuallybrown) and neutral N (blue). Then, connect the load. If you only want a local control with a wall switch, connect the wall push-button according to the diagram. To control using only your phone or Tablet, it is not necessary to install the wall push-button.
• The controller supports all types of double monostable push-button. The order of connection of the S1 / S2 input, to the right / left push-button does not matter at the installation stage - it can be set at a later stage of the controller configuration.
• After making sure that the device is connected in accordance with the diagram and that there are no metal components near the controller which may accidentally cause short-circuit, start the device by turning on the power (turning on the mains fuse or connecting the power cord to the power outlet).

FIRST START

• Download the free wBox application. If you have an Android mobile device, you will nd the application in the Play Store. For iOS devices the application is in the App Store.
• By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet settings, then go to setting of the WiFi network and nd the network name „shutterBox- -xxxxxxxxxx" where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect to this network.
• Turn on the wBox application. A device will appear at the top of the screen. To add it to the application, click on "plus" on the right side of the name. To pre-con gure the controller, click on the default device name.
  You can also set the configuration using the web browser of your phone / tablet. After connecting to the wireless network of the controller, turn on the browser and go website www.blebox.eu
• Test the controller's work by clicking on the arrow near to the area showing the window. If the electric shutter is moving in a different direction than you suppose, go to „Settings" (icon at the top-right corner of the screen) and select "Enable" in the "Move direction swap" option. Remember to save your settings by clicking the "Save" button, then go to the main panel by clicking the arrow at the top-left corner of the screen. Check again whether the shutter moves as expected.
• If you have connected the wall push-button, check its work. Single pressing of the "down" button / "up" button, will cause that the roller shutters moves in the desired direction to the end position. If the electric shutter goes in the opposite direction to the expected, select "Enable" in the "Inputs swap" option. When the electric shutter is moving, pressing any of the wall switches causes that the shutter will stop immediately.
• The next step is to select the type of roller shutter to be controlled - in settings under "Control type", select one of the options: "Roller shutter", "window opener", "Material shutter", "Awning" or "Screen". The individual options differ by the control algorithm (among others, the conversion of the set position to the time of movement) and the icon on the control screen. The "tilt shutter" option is designed for controlling tilt shutters with steerable louver rotated by a single motor. After selecting this option, it is also necessary to set an additional field "Time of maximal rotation of louvers in milliseconds" (suggested value approx. 1100 ms). This is the time in which the louvers will be in the maximum angle of rotación before the shutter starts rolling - thanks to this, the control screen can be used to adjust both the position of the blind and the additional scrollbar, for the angle of the louvers. If you have an unusual engine, select the "Without positioning" option. Specify also the maximum time of movement which is needed for the transition between end positions - this is the time in which the controller gives voltage to the roller motor (it is not recommended to turn off the move timeout). A suggested value of 120 seconds is sufficient for most motors.
• If the controlled electric shutter have a mechanical limit switch, is possible the control to a certain point. To use this feature, calibrate the controller by clicking the "Auto calibration" button. Once the procedure is confirmed, the electric shutter will open to the upper limit switch position, then will close to the lower limit switch position and then will open again to the upper limit switch position. During the calibration, do not perform any action. To check the work of the control to a certain point, go to the main panel by clicking the arrow at the top-left corner and then by moving the finger several times over the area showing the window in extreme and intermediate positions, verify if the electric shutter moves to the selected position in the animation. You can also set your electric shutter position - to do this, set the electric shutter in the desired position and then hold the heart icon for about 4 seconds. Then verify the functionality - moving the electric shutter to another position, then click on the heart icon. The electric shutter should be placed in your favorite position.

ACCESS POINT AND WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS

• Once you turn on the controller for the rst time, you can proceed to its further configuration. Being connected to the WiFi network emitted by the device, in the control panel of the wBox application select the device, then go to "Settings" (icon at the top-right corner of the screen).
• You can change the name of the device that is displayed in the wBox application. In addition, you can change the name and password of its generated WiFi network. Remember that changing the network name or password will disconnect the device immediately after you click the "Save" button, so re-connect to the device using the newly assigned network name and password.
• You can add the controller to your home WiFi network to control it through this home network or from anywhere in the World. To do this, in the "Connect" settings section, select a network name from the list and press "Connect". If is required, enter the WiFi network password. During the connection of the controller to your home network, the phone / tablet may disconnected from the network. In this case, you will need to reconnect your phone / tablet to the controller network.
• Please remember that in order to control the device outside the local WiFi network, from anyplace in the World by using the wBox application, the option "Remote access enabled" in the controller settings must be set to "Yes".
• Once you've finished configuring the WiFi network, you can disconnect your phone/tablet from the controller network and connect your mobile device directly to your home WiFi network. The control from the wBox application will work the same way as when the phone / tablet is connected to the controller network. If the user leaves the local network, for example, leaving home or using the mobile data, the wBox application will signal this state as "Remote mode". In this case, the devices can be controlled, but for security reasons settings are not available.
