This document is an instruction guide for MASTER STAR and VENUS series tubular motors, which are designed for awnings, roller shutters, and similar applications. These motors feature a radio electronic limit switch and operate on a frequency of 433.92 MHz.

Function Description:

The MASTER tubular motors are designed to automate the movement of awnings and roller shutters. They incorporate a radio electronic limit switch for precise control of their upper and lower positions. The motors can be controlled via command buttons or portable transmitters. Key functions include:

• Limit Switch Regulation: Setting the upper and lower limits of movement, either manually using command buttons or wirelessly via a portable transmitter. This allows for precise positioning of the awning or roller shutter.
• Intermediate Position Setting: Users can define and recall an intermediate stop position, providing flexibility for partial opening or closing. This can be set and recalled using both command buttons and portable transmitters.
• Transmitter Memorization: The system allows for the memorization of a first transmitter and additional transmitters, enabling multiple control points.
• Factory Settings Reset: A function to restore the motor to its original factory settings, useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the system.
• Sensor Integration: Compatibility with wind, sun-wind (MISTRAL RADIO, MISTRAL BATTERY - ECLIPSE RADIO, ECLIPSE BATTERY), and rain sensors (PS12-TX) for automated operation based on environmental conditions.
• Safety Features:
  • ROD (Rise Obstacle Detection): During upward movement, the motor detects obstacles, stops, and performs a small downward movement to free the structure. This function is not available for screen type applications.
  • STS (Soft Touch System): Limits motor torque near the upper limit switch, adapting to the weight of the roller shutter/awning for a gentle stop against the obstacle. Not available for screen type applications.
  • SHD (Safety Hook Detection): For roller shutters with safety catches, this function detects their presence, stops upward movement, and closes the roller shutter without damage.
  • FOD (Fail Obstacle Detection): During downward movement, the motor detects obstacles, stops, and performs a large upward movement to allow removal of the obstacle. This function's correct operation depends on the use of offset adapters and is not available for screen type applications. It can be activated or deactivated if structural friction affects its normal operation.
• Radio Test Function: Automatically activated when a radio sensor is stored, this periodically tests communication between the sensor and motor, commanding an upward movement if communication is absent.
• Timer Integration: Ability to receive commands from transmitters equipped with timers (e.g., VECTOR 24) for scheduled operations.
• Wake-up Function: If a VECTOR 24 transmitter with F1 code is stored, the motor can perform short upward movements at intervals to gradually illuminate a room.
• Self-calibration of Limit Switches: If the upper limit is set by collision with an obstacle, the motor learns to stop slightly earlier to avoid continuous collision. Occasional leaning with the upper stop may trigger a calibration, managed by the STS torque control.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Operating Frequency: 433.92 MHz.
• Motor Diameter: STAR (Ø 40 mm), VENUS (Ø 50 mm).
• Power Supply: Main power supply (L, N, Ground).
• Motor Cable Length: 2000 mm.
• STAR Dimensions: Depth max. 9 mm, Ø 12 mm, total length 42 mm (excluding mounting bracket), 14 mm (front part), 30 mm (rear part), 50 mm (total width).
• VENUS Dimensions: Depth max. M4x10 mm, 10 mm (front part), total length 53 mm (excluding mounting bracket), 14 mm (front part), 27 mm (rear part), 63 mm (total width).
• Thermal Safety Device: Internal self-resetting device that stops the motor if it overheats, resuming normal operation after cooling (typically 10-20 minutes).
• Radio Code Storage: Up to 40 different radio codes can be stored.
• Compatible Transmitters: OTELLO, VECTOR, WALL, and TX3 EGO series.

Usage Features:

• Application-Specific Limit Setting: Different press sequences (3, 5, 7, or 9 times DOWN/STOP) are used to configure limit switches for roller shutters, awnings, screens, or garden applications.
• Manual Command Integration: Optional manual command buttons can be connected for direct control, requiring proper insulation and protection.
• Offset Adapters: Essential for guaranteeing the functionality of downward movement obstacle detection (roller shutter) or self-limit switch setting (awning).
• Installation Requirements: Requires installation by qualified technical personnel, adherence to local standards, and proper grounding.
• Radio System Considerations: Advisable to avoid areas with strong interference; a technical inspection is recommended. Interference from other 433.92 MHz devices can reduce system range.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Always disconnect power supply before making electrical connections.
  • Do not modify or replace parts without manufacturer's permission.
  • Ensure no friction for correct movement in roller shutter installations.
  • Maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 meters between multiple radio motors in the same system.
  • Avoid installing near metal surfaces.
  • Use 10/10 thick winding rollers and suitable adapters/supports from the MASTER catalogue.
  • Do not drill or tamper with the motor, handle by the cable, or allow screws to touch the motor.
  • Ensure power supply cable does not touch moving parts.
  • Motor must not come into contact with liquids.
  • Do not cut the antenna wire.
  • Avoid working near the winding roller when the motor is powered.
  • Allow 1-2 mm of right/left play on the winding roller.
  • In case of malfunction, contact qualified technical personnel.

Maintenance Features:

• Environmental Conservation: MASTER uses recyclable packaging. Users are encouraged to dispose of materials properly and comply with waste disposal rules at the end of the product's life cycle.
• Troubleshooting: The guide provides sequences for resetting factory settings and re-setting limit switches, which can be used for troubleshooting. If the procedure is interrupted or incorrect operations are performed, the motor signals an anomaly with three upward and downward movements, requiring a power cycle and repetition of the procedure.
