THERM 0-10V

Description of mode THERM 0-10V
The mode is used to control the actuator by analog inputs 0 – 10 V by using the DAC3-04M or DAC3-04B. It is therefore possible to combine and control LED strips via iNELS.

Programming
Using a screwdriver on the MODE potentiometer, set the THERM 0 – 10 V mode.

THERM 1-10V

Description of mode THERM 1-10V
The mode is used to control the actuator by analog inputs 1 – 10 V by using the DAC3- 04M or DAC3-04B. It is therefore possible to combine and control LED strips via iNELS.

Programming
Using a screwdriver on the MODE potentiometer, set the THERM 1 – 10 V mode.

Programming with RF control units

• Underlined address no. 1 listed on the front of the actuator is used for programming and controlling actuators by RF control units in the modes RF RBG and RF COLOR.
• RF addresses 1, 2 and 3 listed on the front panel of the actuator are used for programming and control in the mode RF WHITE for individual channels 1, 2 and 3.

Delete actuator

Deleting one position of the transmitter

• By pressing the programming button on the actuator for 5 seconds, deletion of one transmitter activates. LED fl ashs 4x in each 1s interval.
• Pressing the required button on the transmitter deletes it from the actuator’s memory.
• To confirm deletion, the LED will confirm with a fl ash long and the component returns to the operating mode. The memory status is not indicated.
• Deletion does not affect the pre-set memory function.

Deleting the entire memory

• By pressing the programming button on the actuator for 8 seconds, deletion occurs of the actuator’s entire memory. LED flashs 4x in each 1s interval. The actuator goes into the programming mode, the LED fl ashes in 0.5s intervals (max. 4 min.).
• You can return to the operating mode by pressing the Prog button for less than 1s. The LED lights up according to the pre-set memory function and the component returns to the operating mode.
• Deletion does not affect the pre-set memory function.

Memory function on:

• For functions 1-4, 7, 8, used to store the last state of the relay output before a power supply failure, changing the state of the output relay is written to the memory 15s after the change is made.
• For function 5, 6, the target state of the output relay is instantly written to the memory after the timing of the delay had been entered, after the power supply is reconnected, the output relay is set to the target state.

Memory function off:
When the power supply is reconnected, the output remains off.

Warning
Instruction manual is designated for mounting and also for user of the device. It is always a part of its packing. Installation and connection can be carried out only by a person with adequate professional qualifi cation upon understanding this instruction manual and functions of the device, and while observing all valid regulations. Trouble-free function of the device also depends on transportation, storing and handling. In case you notice any sign of damage, deformation, malfunction or missing part, do not install this device and return it to its seller. It is necessary to treat this product and its parts as electronic waste after its lifetime is terminated. Before starting installation, make sure that all wires, connected parts or terminals are de-energized. While mounting and servicing observe safety regulations, norms, directives and professional, and export regulations for working with electrical devices. Do not touch parts of the device that are energized – life threat. Due to transmissivity of RF signal, observe correct location of RF components in a building where the installation is taking place. RF Control is designated only for mounting in interiors. Devices are not designated for installation into exteriors and humid spaces. The must not be installed into metal switchboards and into plastic switchboards with metal door – transmissivity of RF signal is then impossible. RF Control is not recommended for pulleys etc. – radiofrequency signal can be shielded by an obstruction, interfered, battery of the transceiver can get fl at etc. and thus disable remote control.
