WARNINGS FOR NORMAL OPERATION
OF THE AUTOMATION
5.1 - Commanding the opening, closing and stop-
page of the awning or varying the speed of
movement using a transmitter equipped with
a "slider" surface
In general, the awning is operated by pressing the button corresponding to the de-
sired movement: s = open; t = close; n = stop.

5.2 - Battery charging and status diagnostics
The motor is equipped with a rechargeable battery. To charge the battery, connect
a device (power bank, PC, tablet, etc.) to the relevant USB port located on the head
of the motor.
To check the status of the battery charge, simultaneously press buttons s and n on
the transmitter or, with the motor stationary, press the button located on the head.

5.3 - Partially opening/closing the awning
(height "H")
In general, if a first intermediate position has been programmed, press buttons s and
t together to reach it. For the other intermediate positions, refer to the programming
done by the installer with procedure A.4.
5.4 - Controlling the awning with a transmitter with
multiple groups
If the transmitter controls multiple groups of screen motors, before sending a
command, select the group to which the motor being programmed belongs. For fur-
ther information, refer to the transmitter manual.
5.5 - Enabling/disabling the automatic commands
sent to the motor directly by the climate sen-
sors (Table B)
If the automation has climate sensors and the transmitter you are using has buttons
and
, you can choose whether to enable (with button
button
) reception of the automatic commands sent to the motor by the climate
sensors. In brief,
– if reception is enabled (button
– if reception is disabled (with button
When reception is enabled, the user can send manual commands at any time: these
override the automatic operation of the automated device. When reception is disa-
bled, the automated device operates exclusively with the manual commands sent
by the user.

• "Over-threshold" intensity of sun/wind = a condition in which the atmospheric
phenomenon stands at values that are above the value set as threshold.
• "Under-threshold" Intensity of sun/wind = a condition in which the atmospheric
phenomenon stands at values ranging from zero to half of the value set as thresh-
old.

5.5.1 - Behaviour of the motor in the presence of "Sun" sensor
• When the intensity of the sunlight reaches the over-threshold, after 2 minutes from
the beginning of this condition the motor autonomously performs a down move-
ment.
• When the intensity of the sunlight reaches the under-threshold, after 15 minutes
from the beginning of this condition the motor autonomously performs an up move-
ment.
Note – Momentary drops in solar intensity, lasting less than 15 minutes, are not de-
tected. The manual commands of the user always remain active and are added to
those generated automatically by the system.
5.6 - "Obstacle detection" function
This function is a safety feature which trips automatically when the movement of the
awning, up or down, is blocked by an obstacles (physical object, person). The motor
immediately stops the movement in progress and performs a brief inversion of the
motion (if programmed to do so, see procedure A.9).
5.7 - Maximum continuous cycle ("thermal protec-
tion" function)
The motor is designed for residential use, in other words, for intermittent service. If
used continuously for a long time, beyond its rating (see "Technical characteristics"),
the system protects the motor against overheating by stopping any further move-
ments until its temperature returns to within the rated limits.
5.8 - Diagnostics and alarm function
On the head of the motor there is a Led that signals the alarm status (with a red
light) and the installation status (with a green light). If it needs to report both at
once, the system always gives priority to alarms. For the meanings of the light sig-
nals, see Table C.
