3. DEFAULT SETTING
When the unit leaves the factory the window size will be set to Maximum (2 mins. and 8 sec)
and the Blind's position will be set to Fully Up. This makes it particularly easy to get into Install
Mode because the 5 second timeout on the UP key will then start immediately it is pressed.
If the window size and the blind's position is unknown, however, it might seem confusing
when first trying to enter Install Mode since the user will not know how long it will take to get
to the fully up position before starting to count the 5 second entry delay into Install.
To make it easier the unit can be put into the default setting immediately by doing the
following procedure.
-
Remove power to the unit and wait 10 seconds.
-
Re-apply power and within 1 minute send 'P16' 'PON' twice. You can also use 'P16' 'POFF'
if you wish.
-
The unit will now set in the default setting described above and will set the unit's address
to P16 without the need to get into Install Mode.
You can then get into Install Mode simply by pressing the UP Key for 5 seconds or so and then
entering the settings you really want to use.
4. MANUAL CONTROL
Manual control can be achieved by pressing suitable momentary acting keys wired to the
Orange and Blue wires provided on the unit. The Blue wire connects to the UP key and the
Orange wire connects to the DOWN key.
You can control the blind in 2 different ways:
- Press and hold down the key until the blind reaches the desired position.
- Give the key a short press to start the blind moving in the direction you want and then
another short press to stop it at the desired position.
You can also fully open or close the blind just by giving a short key press to start the blind
moving in the direction you want . The blind will then travel to the fully open or fully closed
position (as determined electronically by internal counting) and after adding a 6 second over
travel will automatically shut off the appropriate drive relay. The over travel is to ensure that
the blind fully reaches its end stop before the unit switches off its drive relays.
5. MARMITEK X-10 CONTROL
The unit will respond to X-10 power line commands sent in 'Standard' and 'Extended' format.
The unit responds to 'Standard' X-10 messages 'Address On' , 'Address Off' , BRIGHT and
DIM .
'ON' fully opens the blind and 'OFF' fully closes it. A suitable over travel depending on window
size is added to the drive time to ensure that the end stops are reached before the unit switches
its own relays off.
BRIGHT and DIM can be used to set the blind to any position. The action is identical to that
