Primary Functions
OPEN - This button will open the louvres of the selected bank while the button is
being pushed. Releasing the button will stop the louvres in the position you
desire.
CLOSE - This button will close the louvres of the selected bank while the button is
being pushed. Releasing the button will stop the louvres in the position you
desire.
STEP - This button will step the controls to the next bank of louvres to allow
operation of that bank.
ONE - This button will bring the controls back to bank number one to allow
operation of that bank.
RAIN - This button controls the rain protection system. The unit will normally be
installed with the rain protection system ON which means the red light will
be ON. Pushing the RAIN button once will turn OFF the rain protection
system and the red light will go OFF. Push the RAIN button again and the
red light will come ON and it will be in rain protection mode once again.
When the rain protection system is ON the system is "waiting" until it rains. When
it starts to rain the raindrops falling onto the Rain Sensor (which is mounted on the roof)
will cause all roof banks to close. Once it stops raining and the Rain Sensor has had
time to dry out all roof banks will automatically open again to the preferred position for
after rain.
When the Rain Sensor is wet the red light will BLINK and the other buttons won't
operate. To use the other buttons when the Rain Sensor is wet, simply use the RAIN
button to switch OFF the rain protection system. This means you can leave the roof open
when it is raining if you choose (to water plants etc).
Note that in some cases the Rain Sensor will get sufficient moisture on it when it
is not raining to cause the roof to close - such as dew.
