Commissioning

Important: The batteries are already activated on delivery.
For programming the COM hand-held transmitter in the elero radio control or in the receiver: see the following sections.

Opening/closing the housing

Required

• when programming the hand-held transmitter to a receiver.
• when deleting the hand-held transmitter from a receiver.
• when replacing the battery
• To open: On the underside of the hand-held transmitter, carefully push in the centre retaining lug slightly using a blunt object and lift off the rear panel.
• To close: Attach the rear panel from above in the correct position and engage it in the retaining lug area by applying slight pressure.

General

The buttons ⑤ OPEN ▲, ⑥ STOP ■, ⑦ DOWN ▼ and ⑫ slider are used

• with drives to trigger travel motion
• with appropriate illuminants for adjusting the brightness

Radio connection between hand-held transmitter and receiver is bidirectional. Not all messages  are also confirmed by the receiver however.
Make sure the radio link between transmitter and receiver is unobstructed.
The transmitting power or radio range will reduce as the battery output declines. If the voltage
drops below a certain value, no more functions will be carried out and nothing will be indicated.

2 operating modes: Automatic or manual ⑧, ⑨, ⑩, ⑪

Auto ⑧ and manual ⑪ buttons:
Auto: A receiver that is programmed responds to the timer function of a corresponding control unit or to commands by sensors.
Manual: A receiver that is programmed does not respond to the timer function of a corresponding control unit or to commands by sensors.

• Press briefly: actual status is queried by the receiver.
• Press and hold down: the relevant operating mode is activated.

Auto LED ⑨ and manual LED ⑩:

• If the selected channels are in the „Auto“ operating mode, the auto LED lights up green.

• If the selected channels are partly in the „Auto“ operating mode and partly in the „Manual“ operating mode, the Auto LED ⑨ and Manual LED ⑩ light up orange synchronously

Replacing the battery

The batteries inserted on purchase may reach the end of their lifetime before the lifetime specified in the operating instructions has expired. The batteries can simply be removed by the end user in accordance with 2013/56/EU. The coding of the transmitter is retained after the battery is replaced; the coding does not have to be reprogrammed to the remote control or the radio receiver.

• Lift out the batteries carefully. Always use two identical non-rechargeable batteries of type AAA (Micro 1.5 V). Pay attention to the correct polarity: the positive pole (+) is a countersunk contact, the negative pole (-) is a metal lug.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental regulations.

Channel selection

When selecting a channel, an activated channel is indicated by the relevant green status LED. The channel selection is overwritten as soon as the status LEDs are switched of.

• Channel selection by briefly pressing a channel selection button (1 to 6): Individual channel is activated or deactivated.
• Channel selection by pressing a channel selection button and holding it down (1 to 6): All lower channels including the channel of the channel selection button pressed are selected.
• Selection of a group (of up to any 5 channels): When pressing a channel selection button, the status LED is active for 5 seconds. During this period, other channels can be combined to form groups as required.
• Central channel (selection of all 6 channels): Activated as soon as all 6 channels are selected.

Asynchronous programming mode (standard)

Asynchronous programming mode is suitable for programming

• the first transmitter
• an additional transmitter
• individual receivers in case of several receivers ready for programming (e.g. several receivers using one fuse).

When programming a transmitter to one receiver, the open or down switch state is assigned to the actions of the drive (travel direction) or of the corresponding illuminant (switching/dimming).
Asynchronous programming mode is the standard programming mode. In asynchronous programming mode, the times for upward and downward travel of participating receivers vary. In
case of suitable remote control illuminants, the illumination time will vary during programming. After some time, the receivers will run asynchronous to one another. This will enable the hits for a certain receiver to be set better.

off and on again or press the buttons [ OPEN ▲]+[ DOWN ▼]+[ P ] simultaneously and hold them down for 3 seconds on a transmitter that is already programmed.| The receiver changes to asynchronous programming standby for 5 minutes.

Ready to receive programming button [P].

2| Starting programming mode:

Press the programming button [ P ] for approx. 1 second at the transmitter to be taught-in (in the desired channel).

| The receiver changes to asynchronous programming mode and starts cyclical up and down travel.
3| Setting the first hi t:

Immediately after motion commences, press

the [OPEN ▲] or [DOWN ▼] button.

• In case of upward motion, press the [ OPEN ▲] button.
• In case of downward motion, press the [ DOWN ▼] button.

| Hit successfu l:

Receiver briefly interrupts ongoing travel. Hit failed :

Receiver does not interrupt ongoing travel.

→ Repeat „Set first hit“ action!

4| Setting the second hi t:

Prerequisite: First hit has been set. Immediately after motion in the opposite direction commences, press the [OPEN ▲] or [DOWN ▼] button.

• In case of upward motion, press the [ OPEN ▲] button.
• In case of downward motion, press the [ DOWN ▼] button.

| Hit sucessfu l:

Receiver stops ongoing travel and signals with this completion of programming.

Hit failed :

Receiver does not stop the ongoing travel.

→ Repeat „Setting second hit“ action!

• Programming can only ever be performed in one selected channel.
• When programming is complete or after 5 minutes has passed, the receiver will revert to normal operation.
• Programming mode can be stopped by pressing the [STOP ■] button for at least 6 seconds.
• Several receivers can be programmed to one channel.
• If more than 10 receivers at once are in programming mode, the transmitter changes to group programming mode. Once programming is complete, group programming mode has to be terminated manually in the transmitter by pressing the [STOP ■] button for at least 6 seconds.
• If the blind moves in the wrong direction, delete the transmitter and program it again.

Synchronous programming mode

Synchronous programming mode is ideal for

• programming an additional transmitter
• programming several receivers simultaneously to one transmitter or one channel.

Synchronous programming mode is a special programming mode. In synchronous programming mode, the times for upward and downward travel of the participating receivers are synchronised. With suitable remote controlled illuminants, the illumination times will also be synchronised. As a result the hits for all participating receivers can be set simultaneously (synchronised).

Press the buttons [ DOWN ▼]+[ P ] simul- taneously on a transmitter that is already programmed and hold them down for 3 seconds.

| The receiver changes to synchronous programming standby for 5 minutes. Ready to receive programming button [P].
2| Start programming mode :

Selective programming button S ⑭

• Selective Programming button [S] can be found under the cover on the rear of the device (right).
• Selective Programming button [S] is a special version of programming button [P].
• Using Selective Programming button [S] only one selected receiver can be set to programming mode even where several receivers are set to programming standby at once. This enables targeted programming of certain receivers.
• A receiver must be in one of the two programming standby modes (asynchronous or synchronous).
• The programming process can only ever be started in one channel.
• Start programming process: Press programming button [S] for approx. 1 second. Programming mode is started automatically in the first receiver.
• All receivers in programming standby are collected in a list.
• Start programming mode in the next receiver: Press Selective Programming [S] for approx. 1 second.
• Start programming mode in the previous receiver: Press Selective Programming [S] briefly initially, then press Selective Programming [S] for approx. 1 second.
• The „Set hit“ procedure behaves as in asynchronous programming mode or in synchronous programming mode (operating procedure 3 or 4).
