Product description

Intended Use
Casambi blind actuator for control of blind, shutter, gate, or awning motors. Control by Casambi Bluetooth via APP or local control using standard blind pushbuttons

Functions

The blind actuator CBA UP Casambi has a Bluetooth Casambi interface and can be opera-ted via smartphone with the Casambi APP.
Casambi App automatically identifies the device and can be integrated into existing networks.
The device has different operating modes (so-called Casambi profiles) with the profiles the functionality and the parameters are determined. Casambi profile must be selected in the Casambi APP when pairing a device in order to select a specific operating mode.

As soon as the device is added to your network, it can be operated. Groups can be formed, scenes and timers can be created.
These functions allow e.g. to group 5 blinds on one side of a building and to operate them together. In addition, automated up and down movements can be programmed as a time-controlled scene.
If you need help with configuration and operation of Casambi please refer to the official Casambi help at: https://support.casambi.com

Operating notes

There are different methods to operate the blind actuator.

Driving over driving time
In the case of driving over the driving time, a sin-gle impulse (e.g. pressing a button or starting a time-controlled scene) triggers the blind/shutter etc. to move once to the zero point(OT) 0% or end point(UT) 100%.
This driving time is stored in the parameters of the actuator once and then recalled (see 4.4).

Driving to an absolute position
With a drive to an absolute position, any hori-zontal position can be approached. The absolute position is controlled by a slider (from OT 0% to UT 100%), which determines the position of the connected blind / shutter, etc..

Slat adjustment
A slider can be used to adjust the angle of the slats for venetian blinds. Furthermore, the slat position is stored when moving to an absolute position and the set value is automatically readjusted after re-aching the driving position.
For example, if the blind shall be moved down only a little bit and the slats are set to 5%. Then after reaching the target position, the slats are set to 5% again.

Installation and dimensions

Even though the device has very compact dimensions, it is strongly recommended to use the deepest junction boxes possible.
Depending on which pushbutton attachments are used, up to 30 mm of additional installation space is required.

For installation in cavity or switch boxes, the side flaps have to be removed. Install the device with the labeling, LED and device buttons facing for- wards.

Calibration

Once the device is added into a Casambi network, a calibration can be performed..

Perform calibration drive (Drive time)
To ensure proper operation, a calibration drive must be performed during initial startup.

Therefore, run a complete cycle (0% fully open to 100% fully closed) and measure the drive time.
In order to take into effect deviations in the travel time from bottom to top, the cycle (from 100% completely closed to 0% completely open) can be measured again.
Enter the measured time plus approx. 1 se-cond (as a buffer) in the device settings under parameter „Drive Time“.

Setting the slat position (Angle time)
The „Angle Time“ is the aperture angle of the blind slats, this time must be measured and set in the parameters

Move the blind up a little until the slats are in a horizontal position.
Now move the blind downwards and stop the time until the slats are closed.
Set the measured time in ms in the parameters under „Angle Time“.

Set drive direction
If the drive direction is not correct, the parameter „Swap Controls Up/Down“ can be used to swap the direction.

Operation

Operation with device button

The device button 1 has the same priority as the Casambi APP, the last one wins. table 2

Operation with pushbutton input T1 / T2 (only 10.752)

Enabled with 2 programmable inputs, local con-trol is so much easier. These inputs can used as a direct preconfigured Up-Down pushbutton or control any casambi enabled device over Casambi input control. It‘s just a change of an parameter in the app.

Push Button mode

In order to change the Push Button mode, proceed as shown on the right. The functionality of the push button inputs is defi-ned by a parameter. Before the button inputs are configured, a push button mode must be selected.

Open Casambi app
Double tap on the device
Scroll to the item parameter
Tap on Push Button mode
Select parameters (See the list below)

Configure pushbutton inputs

Pushbutton inputs can be individually assigned with desired functions. In order to do this, the following steps are necessary:

Open Casambi app and tap on „… More“
Open item „Switch“
Select device
For example program switch with single function
a) Select not active
b) Select not active
c) Select controls an element
d) Select element
e) Select CBA Buttons UP

Operation with pushbutton over L‘ release phase

Pin 6 (L’) is an release phase to where an external blind pushbutton can be connected.

WARNING: Please note that the pin for enabling phase L‘ (pin 6) is always connected to the mains voltage as long as no active movement is being performed via the Casambi control level.

All movements via the „L‘ path“ control are not detected by Casambi. If you use profiles A,B,C or D, the indication of the horizontal position is no longer correct. Only a travel to one of the end points (OT/UT) via the control from Casambi „synchronizes“ the display with the real position again.
As soon as a travel command or an automation object is sent, the manual travel is interrupted. If the device is operated in automated mode, the key inputs T1 and T2 (only 10.752) must be used.
