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.

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.

Motor drive systems

Sun protection with electrical drive!
Its standard with weinor! Most weinor products are equipped with an electrical drive in the shape of an electric motor which is concealed within the fabric roller of the awning. The awning responds at the touch of a button. A convenient and smart solution. Even more conveniently, these sun awnings can be operated by radio frequency. weinor offers two product ranges for remote control system; the RTS System from Somfy which is described in the following pages and weinors WeiTronic System (see separate chapter). The two systems are not compatible with each other.

The dynamic time delay unit within the controls prevents frequent extension and retraction of the awning during cloudy weather, but still reacts immediately to rain and storm conditions.
Group controls GS 3 + GS 300p This enables 3 or 4 motor drive systems to be operated simultaneously via one operating point or control unit. The individual operation of one specific awning is not possible, however. The group control system is available in a ZA housing or as a printed circuit board. By connecting several of these group controls together up to 12 separate drive systems can be operated simultaneously.
Centralis Uno IB motor control unit for individual control Alongside the central control function performed by the automatic sun and wind sensors, this control unit enables individual awnings to be manually operated from a central control point. For each individual awning drive system one Centralis Uno IB control is required. The central controller and the motor control units are
linked via a low voltage control circuit to operate the awning drive mechanism commands. Centralis control units can be disconnected from the central controller so that only the individual local operation of each awning is possible. Each Centralis control unit has the facility for a chosen comfort position to be set. Compatibility CD 8000 <> Centralis Uno IB.
