This document provides instructions for the Motoware Vertical Awning Motor, a device designed for automating vertical awnings. It covers initial setup, limit setting, favorite position programming, and adding/removing controllers.
Function Description
The Motoware Vertical Awning Motor is a tubular motor designed to automate the movement of vertical awnings. It integrates with a 15-channel remote control for operation and programming. Key functions include:
- Automated Awning Movement: Allows for motorized control of vertical awnings, enabling them to move up and down.
- Limit Setting: Users can define the upper and lower travel limits of the awning to prevent over-extension or retraction.
- Favorite Position: A specific intermediate position can be programmed and recalled, ideal for leveling multiple blinds or setting a preferred shading level.
- Remote Control Integration: Operates via a 433 MHz RF remote control, allowing for wireless command of the motor.
- Direction Reversal: The motor's travel direction can be reversed if initially incorrect.
- Controller Management: New controllers can be paired, and existing ones can be deleted from the motor's memory.
Important Technical Specifications
- Communication: 433 MHz RF Communication.
- Power Supply: 230V/50Hz, requiring 3x1.5mm² wiring (Live, Neutral, Earth).
- Control Buttons: Features a P1 button on the motor head for specific programming steps, and P2 buttons on the remote for pairing and limit setting.
- Feedback: The motor provides audible beeps (1x BEEP, 1x LONG BEEP, 4x BEEP) and physical jogs (1x JOG, 2x JOG, 3x JOG, JOG ↓↑) to confirm successful programming steps.
Usage Features
Initial Setup and Pairing:
- Power Connection: Ensure the power lead points towards the ground to prevent water ingress. Connect Blue to Neutral, Brown to Live, and Green/Yellow to Earth.
- Channel Selection: Select the desired channel (e.g., 15) on the remote controller.
- Pairing Process:
- Switch power on the motor.
- Press P2 on the existing controller, release immediately after 1x BEEP.
- Press P2 on the existing controller again, release immediately after 1x BEEP.
- Press the UP button on the remote, release immediately after 2x BEEP.
- Motor confirms pairing with 3x JOG.
Checking and Reversing Motor Direction:
- Direction Check: Use the UP or DOWN buttons on the controller to check the awning's travel direction. Press STOP if it's still moving.
- Direction Reversal: If the direction is incorrect, hold the P1 button on the motor head for approximately 5 seconds. Release after 1x LONG BEEP. Motor confirms with 1x JOG.
Setting Limits:
- Enter Limit Setting Mode:
- Press P2 on the remote (1x BEEP).
- Press UP on the remote (1x BEEP).
- Press P2 on the remote (1x LONG BEEP, 1x JOG ↓↑).
- Important: Cycle the awning up and down prior to setting limits to settle the fabric.
- Set Upper Limit:
- Move the awning to the desired highest position using UP/DOWN buttons. Press STOP when in position.
- Press the STOP button on the remote 5 times.
- Motor confirms with 4x BEEP, 1x LONG BEEP, 1x JOG (UPPER LIMIT SET).
- Hint: Pressing P2 while the blind is rolling up will cause the motor to step, improving accuracy.
- Set Lower Limit:
- Move the awning to the desired lowest position using UP/DOWN buttons. Press STOP when in position.
- Press the STOP button on the remote 5 times.
- Motor confirms with 4x BEEP, 1x LONG BEEP, 1x JOG (LOWER LIMIT SET).
- Hint: Pressing P2 while the blind is rolling up will cause the motor to step, improving accuracy.
Favorite Positioning:
- Set a Favorite Position:
- Move the awning to the desired intermediate position using UP/DOWN buttons.
- Press STOP on the controller 5 times (motor will beep each time).
- Motor confirms with 1x LONG BEEP, 1x JOG.
- Go to Favorite Position:
- Hold STOP on the controller until the motor begins moving, then release.
- Note: If using a grouped channel, all blinds will go to their favorite position.
- Delete Favorite Position:
- Move the awning to its favorite position (as per 4.2).
- Press STOP on the controller 5 times (motor will beep each time).
- Motor confirms with 1x LONG BEEP, 1x JOG.
Adding or Removing Controllers/Channels:
- Adding/Copying:
- Press P2 on the existing controller (A), release after 1x JOG ↓↑ (1x BEEP).
- Press P2 on the new controller (B), release after 2x JOG ↓↑ (3x BEEP).
- Deleting:
- Press P2 on the existing controller (A), release after 1x JOG ↓↑ (1x BEEP).
- Press P2 on the controller/channel to remove (B), release after 2x JOG ↓↑ (3x BEEP).
Maintenance Features
The manual primarily focuses on programming and operation, with safety instructions highlighting aspects related to installation and general care rather than specific maintenance procedures.
Safety and Installation Guidelines (indirectly related to maintenance):
- Environmental Protection: Do not expose to moisture, extreme temperatures, humid or damp environments. Motor is for horizontal application only.
- Physical Protection: Do not drill into the motor body. Keep antenna straight and clear from metal objects; do not cut it.
- Cable Management: Routing of cables through walls must be protected by isolating bushes or grommets. Ensure power cable and aerial are clear and protected from moving parts. Do not use if cable or power connector is damaged.
- Qualified Installation: Installation and programming must be performed by a suitably qualified installer.
- Correct Components: Ensure correct crown and drive adaptors are used for the intended system.
- Operation Precautions: Do not operate the motor prior to setting limits, as damage to the blind may occur. Do not force the motor drive. Keep clear when in operation.
- Inspection: Frequently inspect for improper operation. Do not use if repair or adjustment is necessary.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep motor away from acid and alkali.
The document emphasizes that incorrect installation can lead to serious injury and void the manufacturer's liability and warranty, underscoring the importance of following all instructions carefully.
