Characteristics The solar protection actuators are used to control shutters, roller shutters, awnings, sun- blinds or ventilation flap drives with up to AC 230 V. It is used in building automation. Device control is conducted via KNX. Through the selection of various operating modes such as manual and automatic mode, solar protection is controlled both locally and centrally.

Resetting the device to factory settings A very long push of the programming button of more than 20 seconds resets the device to its factory settings. This is indicated by the programming LED flashing steadily for 8 seconds. All configuration settings are deleted. The building site function of the delivery state is re-ac- tivated.

Using 8-bit scene control, current solar protection or slat positions can be assigned to a scene and retrieved. Move to position 1/2, 3/4 (1-bit scene control) The function “move to position 1/2, 3/4” is particularly suitable to repeatedly move to pre- ferred element positions in combination with the 1-bit scene control.

For safe end position detection, the threshold value for electricity can be adjusted. The elec- tric current is evaluated in the process. Status messages Responses on element positions, such as dynamic element position, slat position, moves, moving directions, reaching the upper or lower end position are reported. In addition, re- sponses to the different overrides, current operating mode such as direct operation or auto- matic operation can be displayed.

Connection example The following connection example shows the connection of 6 AC motors for control (up/down or open/close) e.g. of solar protection, door, window or ventilation flaps via channels A, B, C, D, G and H. The transformers are used to detect the activation of electromagnetic and electronic end po- sition switches.
