Installation Instructions
The SOLIRIS RTS sensor is a radio sun & wind sensor for awnings. The wind and sun thresholds can be set directly on the SOLIRIS RTS sensor. The SOLIRIS RTS sensor is compatible with the LT RTS CMO and ALTUS RTS motors only. Power supply : 24V AC/DC Rated Current : 25 mA at 24V DC
The SOLIRIS RTS sensor must be supplied by a class 2 transformer

2Wiring
WARNING: For the SOLIRIS RTS SENSOR to function properly, the transmitter which is memorized into the motor's receiver, must be configured correctly. The DOWN button MUST correspond to DOWN on the end product. In the case of an awning, it will open or extend the awning. If the UP button extends the awning, the wind sensor will also extend the awning during windy conditions. THIS IS DANGEROUS! Damage and injury could occur. Do not proceed until proper operation of the transmitter is verified. Please refer to the installation instructions of the relevant motor to change the direction if necessary.

UP STOP DOWN

A. Power input to the sensor is not polarized, but turn off the power and fully discharge the transformer before making final connections. B. The cable distance between the power supply and the sensor must not exceed 164 feet.

3. Connect the cable leads to the terminals - Terminal block is removable for easier connections, and the input power is not polarized.

3Programming

Activate the receiver's memory by pushing (for more than 2 seconds) the programming button of a transmitter already recorded in the motor's memory.
B. To Record or delete a sensor
Press briefly on the programming button of the SOLIRIS RTS sensor
The motor must be in programming mode to record a SOLIRIS RTS sensor. One SOLIRIS RTS sensor can be memorized into several motors. It is not recommended to memorize more than 1 SOLIRIS RTS sensor into the motors memory.
The awning Jogs briefly (DOWN/UP). If it is a new sensor : it will be recorded in the motor. If the sensor was previously recorded : it will be deleted.
A. To Enter the "Programming mode"
C. To delete all the sensors and record a new one
Press for more than 7 sec. on the "programming" button of the new SOLIRIS RTS sensor.

> 2 sec.

The awning jogs briefly DOWN/UP This confirms. the motor is in programming mode.
The awning jogs briefly (DOWN/UP). The memory of the receiver is cleared (all previous sensors are erased) and the new sensor is recorded.

4Operation

The SOLIRIS RTS sensor controls and provides a measure of protection for a retractable awning according to the sun and wind conditions. The WIND and SUN thresholds can be adjusted by two potentiometers, one for wind speed and the other for daylight intensity. The adjustment range is between 6 - 31 miles per hour for the WIND and between 0 to 50 kilolux for the SUN By using the TELIS SOLIRIS RTS transmitter, it is possible to configure the functioning of the receiver (wind only or wind/sun). Please refer to the TELIS SOLIRIS RTS operating instructions. A short UP/DOWN movement of the awning indicates the modification of the sensor settings.

SUN Function

(Intermediate Position) When the intensity of the daylight exceeds the threshold set by the SOLIRIS RTS sensor, a DOWN order is sent to the awning after 2 minutes.
The awning goes to the intermediate position IP, (see the motor installation instructions) or to its down end limit position if no intermediate position has been memorized.
When the daylight IP level falls below the threshold setting, a variable time delay from 15 to 30 minutes is activated (depending on the sun prescence duration).

This feature avoids frequent movements of the awning on cloudy days.
After this time delay, an UP order is given to the awning.
Any manual command given during this cycle will override the automatic after 15 to 30 min. operation. The SOLIRIS RTS sensor will not then function automatically until the daylight exceeds the threshold limit again.

WIND Function

When the wind speed exceeds the threshold set by the SOLIRIS RTS sensor, an UP after 2 sec. order is given to the awning after 2 seconds As long as the measured wind speed is higher than the adjusted threshold, all commands are prevented from operating. (manual control or automatic control).
When the wind speed falls below the threshold setting, the SUN function remains inoperable for 12 minutes, after after although it is possible 12 min. 30 sec. after 30 seconds, to give an order with the RTS Transmitter.

DEMO Mode

The mode is selected by turning the wind potentiometer clockwise to the limit. In this mode all time delays are reduced to facilitate installation. The wind threshold is 6 mph.

TIME DELAYS

This is the elapsed time required for the motor to respond automatically or manually (using the transmitter) to the change in sun or wind conditions. Normal mode Demo mode SUN appearing timing SUN disappearing timing WIND appearing timing WIND disappearing timing* 2 min. 15 to 30 min. 2 sec. 12 min. * It is possible after 30 sec. to give a down order with the RTS transmitter 10 sec. 15 sec. 2 sec. 15 sec.
The change of setting "In" or "Out" of the Demo Mode is confirmed with a brief Jog of the motor. This function can be used to confirm that the sensor is communicating with the motor's receiver. NOTE: Do not leave RTS sensor in demo mode when installation is completed.
