ONTROL
Different models of radio control may be programmed. By
storing a code (1 button) a cyclic step-by-step operation (Up-
Stop-Down) may be achieved, and by storing two different
codes (2 buttons) different commands are produced, one for
Up and one for Down. Storing three different codes (3 “BeFree”
series buttons) produces three different commands: the first for
Up, the second for Stop and the third for Down.
Operation using a 1-button radio control:
The following type of operation is obtained using a radio
control with a single button: the first press controls the upward
movement of the shutter until the motor timer stops. The
second press controls the downward movement of the shutter.
If the button is pressed before the motor stops running, the
control unit will stop the shutter moving and the button will
need to be pressed again to reactivate the motor in the
opposite direction.
Operation using a 2-button radio control:
By using a radio control with 2 buttons, the following processes
may be carried out: the first button (“Up”) controls the upward
movement, until the motor has stopped running, and the
second button (“Down”) controls the downward movement of
the shutter. If the upward movement is interrupted with another
“Up” command, the motor will continue to run in the upward
movement direction. If, however, the movement is interrupted
with a “Down” command, the control unit will stop the motor.
The procedure remains the same for the downward
movement phase.
Operation using a 3-button radio control (BeFree x1):
The following type of operation is obtained using the BeFree x1
radio control: the (Up) button controls the upward movement
until the end of the motor time, the (Stop) button causes all
movement to stop and the (Down) button controls the
downward movement. If a stop command is sent during the
upward or downward movement, the control unit causes this
movement to stop. If a command that is in the opposite
direction to the current movement is sent during the upward or
downward movement, the control unit causes the shutter to
change direction.
Operation using a 3-button radio control (BeFree x3 - X6):
When using the BeFree x3 - x6 radio control, you will obtain
the same operation as previously described for the BeFree x1
version; in addition, by using the keys (-) and (+) at the sides of
the radio control it is possible to select the UP – STOP –
DOWN controls for 3 different types of use (BeFree x3) or for 6
different types of use (BeFree x6). In addition, by using the
keys (-) and (+) at the sides of the radio control it is possible to
enable and disable the sun sensor (the selection is confirmed
by a quick UP / Down movement of the motor).

MOTOR
If you notice that when pressing the UP key on the radio-
control the control unit causes the shutter to move upwards
instead of downwards, simply repeat the programming
procedure pressing the DOWN key instead of the UP key, or
invert the motor’s Upward movement wire and the Downward
movement wire.

ENTRALISATION
It is also possible to enter two identical codes ( buttons ) from
one radio control onto all the control units or a group of them
which are situated at a maximum distance of 20 metres from
the point of command, in order to obtain general or partial
motion of more than one automation.

The electronic control unit will cause the sun shade to move
upwards every time the wind exceeds the selected threshold.

O
PERATION
The electronic control unit controls the downward movement of
the sun shade after 5 minutes during which the brightness is
greater than the threshold selected using the VR1 trimmer and
displayed when the SUN LED lights up; it also controls the
upward movement of the shade after 5 minutes during which
the brightness is below the selected threshold.
Sun sensitivity adjustment ( 5 ÷ 40 Klux )
The control unit allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the Sun
Sensor using the VR1 trimmer. When the SUN LED lights up
on the control unit, this indicates that the intensity of the sun
exceeds the selected threshold; this enables you to use the
current light conditions as a reference when setting the desired
value.

The electronic control unit will cause the sun shade to move
upwards as soon as the sensitive part of the rain sensor gets
wet with water as displayed when the RAIN LED lights up.
