Function

This device is a product of the quicklink system, in which installation devices communicate via radio signals.

quicklink stands for a configuration mode in which the function-related connection between transmitters and receivers is set on the device through push-buttons and displays without further tools.

All devices configurable by quicklink can be operated together in one system.

This device is compliant to the R&TTE-Directive 1999/5/EG. The Declaration of Conformity and further system information can be found on our homepage www.berker.de.

The device may be used in all EU and EFTA countries.

Correct use

  • Application module for shutter inserts or power supply for radio application modules
  • Manual, time-controlled and automatic operation of blind/shutter motors connected to insert
  • Transmission and reception of manual, timecontrolled and automatic operation commands via quicklink
  • Unsuitable for lighting control
  • Only suitable for use in indoor areas, no drip or spray water

The quicklink configuration of the devices must only be carried out by qualified electricians.

Product characteristics

  • quicklink functions for integration into the remote and group control of blinds/shutters.
  • Integration into scenes
  • Two preset standard time programmes, individually adjustable
  • Astro programme for automatic operation at dawn/dusk
  • Astro time shift to adjust the operation times
  • Holiday programme for random operation times in automatic mode
  • Party programme to prevent unintentional operation of the shutters by automated operation commands as well as radio/extension unit commands
  • Keylock

Performance after mains breakdown/return of mains supply

  • Mains breakdown:
    Saving of the current configuration and programming in the non-volatile memory. The device then switches to economy mode. Only the internal clock continues to run to keep the time up-to-date. The use of a buffer memory ensures that the time stays up-to date for up to 24 hours.

  • Return of mains supply:
    The application module executes an initialisation operation1), the basic display is restored.
    The stored configuration and programming is loaded from the memory. Any operations pending when the power supply broke down will not be executed after return of mains supply.

  1. If the buffer memory is full, date and time must be entered again.

    Menu instructions

  • Press the buttons or to select the required setting and confirm by pressing OK.
    The device applies the setting and returns to the submenu time settings.

Submenu A7 – Setup Astro programme

The Astro programme leads to a dusk/dawn dependent control of shutters, meaning that automatic operation time adjustment occurs according to the season. As these operation times can be very early or very late, the Astro programme offers enhanced options in order to adapt the operation time.

  • Deviation from dawn time by ± 120 minutes
  • Deviation from dusk time by ± 120 minutes
  • Earliest UP operation time (earliest up time)
    No operation times are executed before the earliest UP time, as defined by dawn. The blind moves UP at the time set here.
    Astro operation times after the set time are executed normally.
    Example:Set time earliest up time| Sunrise| Executed operation time
    ---|---|---
    06:15| 07:32| 07:32
    05:23| 06:15
  • Latest DOWN operation time (latest down time) No operation times are executed after the latest DOWN operation time, as defined by dusk. The shutter moves DOWN at the time set here.
    Astro operation times before the set time are executed normally.
    Example:Set time

latest down time

| Sundown| Executed operation time
---|---|---
20:00| 17:42| 17:42
