Safety Instructions for Automatic and Alarm Functions
GB
In the event of a power failure at the weather station, the controller can no longer con-
trol the connected drives. If the full scope of functions is to be maintained even without
the mains power supply, an emergency power generator with corresponding changeover
from mains to emergency operation has to be installed on site.
Settings saved in the program of the controller are retained even in the event of a
power failure. When the mains power is restored, the controller is in Automatic mode.
If the radio link between operating unit and weather station fails (e.g. due to radio inter-
ference or empty batteries in the operating unit), manual intervention is no longer
possible. The controller remains in its present mode (Manual or Automatic). Automatic
mode continues to function as set until the radio link is established again, but cannot
take account of the indoor temperature. The wind and rain alarm functions are
maintained even if the controller is in Manual mode.
If cleaning or maintenance work has to be carried out in the vicinity of the awning(s) or
Venetian blind(s), the controller (weather station) must be isolated by switching off the
fuse installed on site and securing to prevent restarting. This ensures that the connected
drives cannot start unintentionally.
If it starts to rain, it can take some time before the weather station detects rain, depending
on the intensity of the rain and the outdoor temperature.
Please note also that, for example, if it starts to rain during a power failure, an outdoor
awning is no longer retracted automatically if no emergency power generator is installed.
Please remember that the rails of sunshade installations installed on the outside of the
building can freeze. If the awning of Venetian blind is then moved, the sunshade and
drive may be damaged.
Please ensure that no-one is allowed to remain in the travel range of system
parts driven by motor (risk of crushing!). The corresponding building regulations
must be observed.
