Installing the FOREST SHUTTLE iOn

1. Assemble the track;

2. Install the brackets and fix the track onto the brackets;

3. Do not attach the drapery yet; Attach the drapery only after the end positions have been set.

   • position the master carrier(s) into half-open position

4. Attach the Shuttle® iOn motor to the track;
   Note: Remove the battery before connecting the Shuttle® iOn motor to the curtain track.

5. Insert the battery;
   Remove the security cap from the battery and insert the battery, push until a “click” is heard.

6. Setting the end limits of the FOREST SHUTTLE® iOn;
   The stack back (adjusted open limit) can be set by remote or switch. For programming see page 6.

   • SETTING MOTOR DIRECTION AND CLOSE LIMIT:
     The Shuttle® detects automatically the motor direction. By pulling the master carrier(s) towards the closed position first, the Shuttle® will automatically learn that motor direction. The master carrier will travel automatically toward the closed position.

   • SETTING OPEN LIMIT:
     When the closed position is reached, the master carrier(s) will automatically move towards the open position.

   • Stack back: When the master carrier reaches the fully open position it will stop (yellow LED4 is on). Now the open limit setting can be adjusted by hand, by remote or dry contact input. When the master carrier is not moved for 10 seconds, the yellow LED4 will go off and the open limit is set. The minimal automatic adjustment is 3 cm (1.2”).
     If you are not satisfied with the programmed end limits, then re-set the end limits as shown in the configuration table on page 6 and proceed from step 4.

7. Pair the Shuttle® iOn with a remote control;
   All Forest RF remotes* can be paired to the Shuttle® iOn by activating the RF learning mode on the Shuttle® iOn and pressing the Open button on the remote .

Shuttle iOn Battery

When the battery is getting low, the Shuttle® iOn motor will begin to operate more slowly, (6 cm/s – 2,36”/s), this is an indication to re-charge the battery.

Charging the battery:
Take out the battery from the Shuttle® iOn motor and connect the charger to the battery as pictured below:

Charging

The charger is equipped with an LED indicator on the front side, this LED indicates the actual charging status.

• The charging time battery is 5 hours;
• Do not use third-party battery chargers;
• Do not attempt to repair the charger if damaged; replace the charger in this case;
• Do not charge the battery in humid conditions;
• Replace the charger if damaged;
• Do not expose the battery pack to direct sunlight while charging;
• Do not repair the battery pack if damaged;
• Replace the battery pack if damaged;
• Do not charge the battery in ambient conditions below 10⁰C (50⁰F);
• Dispose of it properly.

Connecting the SHUTTLE® iOn using the dry contact input

Make sure the switch, relay, or home automation output is based on dry contact / potential free.

The Shuttle® iOn can be easily connected to Home automation systems or manual switches using the dry contact inputs on the RJ45 port of the motor.

• OPEN: Pin 1 is connected to pin 3 the motor will open the curtain
• CLOSE: Pin 8 is connected to pin 3 the motor will close the curtain
• STOP: Pin 1 and 8 are connected to pin 3 the motor will stop moving the curtain

Different dry contact modes:
(How to change the dry contact mode behavior) Depending on the building automation hardware used, different types of dry contact modes are available.

• Pulse mode: When short contact is made between the pins the curtain will fully open or close
• Continuous mode: The curtain will move as long as the contact is made (mostly used for Home Automation)
• Single button switch mode: Every contact made between pin 3(COMMON) and pin 1 or 8 will trigger; open -> close -> stop -> open -> close -> stop -> etc.…

Advanced settings

Explanation of the menu settings

• 1 & 2: Speed Setting
  The standard speed setting is 14cm/s. This can be increased to 17cm/s. Press the configuration button 2 times. To confirm, press and hold the button down a 3rd time for at least 4 seconds; the LED will blink 3 times and turn OFF.

• 3: Pairing / Erasing mode for 433MHz RF remote
  Programming Forest RF remote channel: Press the configuration button 3 times and hold it down the 4th time for 4 seconds – LED will start blinking for 10 seconds – Within these 10 seconds press the OPEN button on the selected channel on the remote to pair the remote with the Shuttle® iOn motor. Erasing an RF remote channel: Same procedure as mentioned above but press CLOSE instead of OPEN to erase the paired RF remote channel.

• 4: Reset/setting end limits
  To reset the end limits: Make sure the curtain is in the open position first. Now press the configuration button 4 times and hold it down the 5th time for 4 seconds until the LED blinks 3 times and turns OFF. Remove the battery and after 5 seconds re-insert the battery. Now the limits have been erased; for setting the limits again refer to page 3 section 7 of this manual.

• 5, 6 & 7: Dry contact input modes
  The default mode is Pulse contact. To switch to continuous or single switch mode, press the configuration button 6 or 7 times respectively; press and hold once more for 4 seconds until the LED blinks 3 times and turns OFF. Please see page 5 for a detailed explanation on input modes. Make sure the contact is dry/free of potential (no power on the cable).

• 8, 9 & 10: Touch Impulse modes
  The Shuttle® iOn recognizes when the curtain is pulled by hand to open or close. The Shuttle® iOn will then open or close the curtain all the way. The default setting is highly sensitive. Touch Impulse can be set to less sensitive or off, with 9 or 10 presses respectively. To confirm, press and hold once more for 4 seconds until the LED blinks 3 times and turns OFF.

• 14: Adjust open position (stack back)
  Press the button 14 times and hold it down the 15th time for 4 seconds. This function creates a 10-second timeframe in which the open position of the curtain can be adjusted. This is particularly easy when the curtains are too tightly squeezed together.

• 15: Reverse Motor direction
  This function easily reverses the motor direction when the motor opens instead of closes, after having given the close command on the remote control. To do so, press the configuration button 15 times and hold it down the 16th time for 4 seconds.

• 16: Factory Reset
  For a full reset of all settings, press the configuration button 16 times and hold it down the 17th time for 4 seconds until the LED blinks 3 times and turns OFF. Remove the battery and after 5 seconds re-insert the battery.
