Introduction Dear customer,With the Quatronic dialog you now own a multifunctional sun protection controlunit which controls up to 4 channels with different sun protection products(external venetian blinds, awnings, roller shutters, etc.) intelligently in accordancewith the respective weather conditions.You can either operate your sun protection products manually or leave theoperation completely to the Quatronic dialog automatic control system.The Quatronic dialog is used to protect your sunblinds against harmful weatherinfluences and helps you in the day-to-day operation of the sun protection systemby means of® Safety functions and® Comfort functionsThe Quatronic dialog measures and continuously evaluates the data for:® Wind,® Rain,® Brightness,® Inside and outside temperature,® Humidity and timeand controls your sun protection products correspondingly.Various variants are available:® As a DIN rail-mounted device® In a flush-type housing® In a surface-type housingSince many aspects in the field of sun protection may be new to you, we havedeveloped the Quatronic dialog so that it will accompany you through the topic ofsun protection.The name "dialog" stands for high user friendliness – because the Quatronic dialognot only shows all the current measured values and move commands, but placesa guide and a help text at your disposal.We have structured these operating instructions so that you get to know all thefunctions of the Quatronic dialog relevant for you.In addition to these instructions the following aids are available for operating theQuatronic dialog:10We reserve the right to carry out improvements685028A0•816733•7907k2•24.11.2004

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit3. Commissioning3.1 Automatic presetting3.2 Automatic time via radioclock signal3.3 Ready to operateIf your specialist partner for sun protection products has had your Quatronic dialogconnected by a qualified electrician, the specific values of the articulated armawning are first set at all the facades for safety reasons. (This is the sun protectionproduct which is most sensitive to weather influences).After approx. 5 minutes the current time, weekday and date are read in automaticallyvia the antenna that is connected in the "Wind/Photo/Radio" clock sensor.(Check: The question mark behind the time disappears. If reception is faulty, thequestion mark behind the time does not disappear). Chapter 19, "Time", providesinformation about the procedure used to set the time manually.If the time is set correctly at the Quatronic dialog, it is ready to operate.While the Quatronic dialog has carried out commissioning for you, it has set thevalues for the articulated arm awning product at all the facades for safety reasons.The basic settings of the products are listed as "Works settings" in the installationguide supplied.In order to adapt the Quatronic dialog optimally to your requirements you can nowset your product (roller shutters, external venetian blinds, internal venetian blinds,awnings) at the individual facades in Chapter 4. You can document your settings inthe installation guide supplied.TIPIf you want to ensure that the control functions that you havebought are used optimally, do not hesitate to request commissioningby us.A service technician will then visit you at home and discusswith you the requirements which you place on the Quatronicdialog and which you can implement additionally.He will carry out a functional test, check the connection of allthe components and set the Quatronic dialog in accordancewith your wishes.Any questions you may have can be answered on the spot.12We reserve the right to carry out improvements685028A0•816733•7907k2•24.11.2004

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit4. Product4.1 GeneralWhile the Quatronic dialog has carried out commissioning for you, it has set thevalues for the articulated arm awning product at all the channels for safetyreasons. In order to adapt the Quatronic dialog optimally to your requirements youcan now set your product (roller shutters, external venetian blinds, internal venetianblinds, awnings) at the individual channels.Each of these products has different properties. This means that they also reactdifferently to wind, require other turn times and runtimes or are perhaps positionedinside and therefore do not require rain and wind protection, etc.. So that youdo not have to enter all the product-dependent setting values and limits wheneveryou set a product in the Quatronic, Quatronic dialog carries out this work for you.The required values are already stored for many products in the Quatronic dialog.All the product-dependent setting values are programmed by only pressing abutton.4.2 Changing the products inthe product setting table4.2.1 Changing to the settingmode■Keep the "disp/prog" button pressed (approx. 5 seconds) in order to access thesetting mode:dispprogWind speed: 8m/s 8m/s 8m/s 8m/sTime:12:30:18?

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit9. Wind monitoring9.1 GeneralStrong wind can cause considerable damage to your sunblinds. Therefore theQuatronic dialog includes a wind monitoring function as a safety function. Thisprotects your awnings, internal venetian blinds or external venetian blinds againstdamage through storms.In case of a storm the sunblinds move up automatically upwards and cannot bemoved down either manually or by using the comfort functions (sun control, timerswitch, etc)..

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit14.4 The temperature controlactivates/de-activates thesun controlThe sun is the most inexpensive heating source that one can have. Especially inwinter it is therefore not always an advantage to darken your rooms in yourbuilding or in your conservatory when the first sun ray appears and then tocompensate this with higher heating costs. If desired, you can therefore equipyour Quatronic dialog with an inside and an outside temperature sensor and usethe temperature control function in combination with the sun control function.TIPThis method does not move your sunblinds down when thesun irradiation is excessive until the desired insidetemperature has been reached.Under the menu items InOM and OutOM you can activate control of the suncontrol function by the temperature control function for the respective channeland separately for inside and outside temperatures. Afterwards the sun controlfunction is controlled by the temperature limits specified by you.14.5 Setting values: Outside UP/DOWN, Inside UP/DOWNThe following section describes the effects of the setting values in more detail.A command of the temperature control function can have different effects whichyou can select in the "Temp" setting table.Limits:Normally the DOWN limit (Out < or In or In >): If the "Temperature" measured value exceeds the set "DOWN"limit, a "DOWN" move command is triggered or the sun control function isactivated.If the "Temperature" measured value drops below the set "UP" limit, an "UP" movecommand is initiated or the sun control function is de-activated and an "UP" movecommand is initiated.TIPThe temperature control function does not have any delaytimes because the temperature only changes slowly.14.6 Setting values: InOM,OutOM, AllocOperating modes:If the inside/outside temperature control function is to carry out a movecommand, select the MoveC setting in the OutOM, InOM setting tables.If the inside/outside temperature control function is to enable the sun controlfunction, select the EnSun setting in the OutOM, InOM setting tables.Allocation:1 outside temperature sensor and/or up to 4 inside temperature sensors can beconnected to the Quatronic dialog.

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit18. Runtimes and slatsetting18.1 GeneralYou do not have to sit in the dark just because you have moved the sunblindsdown. You can for example automatically have the sunblinds only move downhalfway or leave a light strip open at the bottom. At external venetian blinds youcan set the slats at an angle so that enough light is still let through and you do nothave to work under artificial light. These settings are controlled via the runtimesand the turn times in the Quatronic dialog. You can set runtimes precisely down tothe second at each channel and also set every slat angle that is technicallypossible by entering a time.18.2 Setting values: Runtimesand slat settingsTIPUP>DOWN

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit■Depending on whether you want to change the runtimes for the UP>command or the DOWN< command or the TurnTime and the TurnModepress the respective "UP/DOWN" button above or below the text in thedisplay:Runtime UP> TurnTimesettings: DOWN< TurnMode■ You can change the setting values at the individual channels (CH1 - CH4 )by using the "UP/DOWN" buttons. The example for the runtime for the "UP"command (UP>) is used here:Runtime UP> 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:30(mm:ss): CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4■The OFF setting is reached by setting the setting values to 0:00 . The wordOFF is then displayed instead of 0:00 . This switches off the runtime at therespective channel. After you have completed your entry, you can exit thesetting table by using the "disp/prog" button. The changes that you havecarried out are then stored.18.3 Setting value: UP / DOWNA move command is active in accordance with the set runtime period, so that ifthe runtime is set too short, the sunblind does not move to the end position.By setting the "DOWN" runtime correspondingly, you can achieve that a light stripis left (meaning that the sunblind does not move to the lower end position)Ideally the set runtime is identical with the actual runtime of the sunblind.The runtime of 99:59 min. corresponds to a continuous command. Cont. isdisplayed instead.The runtime of 0:00 min. corresponds to a pure jogging mode, meaning that thesunblind only moves as long as the "UP/DOWN" button is pressed. In the displaythe word OFF is displayed.TIPIf the runtime is set to OFF, the comfort functions do not haveany effect.685028A0•816733•7907k2•24.11.2004 We reserve the right to carry out improvements 53

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit18.4 Setting value: Turn timeThe turn function carries out a brief (0.1 to 9,9 sec.) "UP" command (=turn time)after the sunblinds have reached the lower end position. The execution of thisturn function depends on the cause of the "DOWN" command. Please refer to thenext setting value "Turn mode".TIPIf the set DOWN< runtime is greater than the actual sunblindruntime, the sunblinds remain in the bottom position until theturn is carried out.In the case of an "External venetian blind" or "Internal venetian blind" productsetting any slat angle can be set by using the turn function. The turn time can alsobe used in order to leave the roller shutters open a gap after the "DOWN"movement.18.5 Setting value: Turn modeThe execution of the turn function depends on the cause of the "DOWN"command.Programmable causes are manual operation (ManOP), the sun control function(Sun) and the timer switch control function (Timer).These causes can also be combined with each other:® ManOP (M)® Sun (S)® Timer (T)® ManOP/Sun (M/S)® ManOP/Timer (M/T)® Sun/Timer (S/T)® ManOP/Sun/Timer (M/S/T)® OFF (OFF)54We reserve the right to carry out improvements685028A0•816733•7907k2•24.11.2004

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl Unit23. SensorsA total of 7 sensors can be supplied directly with current through the Quatronicdialog. The "Rain" and "Radio" clock sensors are not to be included whencalculating the number of sensors.An example as an illustration:The following sensors are connected:2 "Wind/Photo/Radio clock" sensors 21 "Temperature" (outside) sensor 11 "Rain" (capacitive) sensor 03 "Temperature" (inside) sensors 31 "Temperature/Humidity" (inside) sensor 1----------∑ = 7This example thus represents a permissible case. If further sensors have to beconnected nevertheless, please contact our telephonic hotline. Depending on theintended application a separate power supply may be necessary.23.1 "Wind/Photo/Radio clock"sensorsThe Quatronic dialog is supplied by default with a "Wind/Photo/Radio clock"sensor. It detects the wind speed (1 "Wind" sensor), sun intensity (4 "Photo"sensors) and receives the radio time message (1 Radio clock receiver).MountingAs described in the mounting and connection instructions.Technical dataMeasuring ranges Wind speed 0 - 25 m/sBrightness 0 - 99 klxRadio time message Time/DateSignal 1 m/s = 2.1 Hz1 kLx = 80 µA77.5 kHz carrier frequencyOperating voltage 12 V DCArt. No.: 623 02123.1.1 The radio clock receiverWith the connected radio clock receiver the Quatronic dialog has an exact controlclock which sets itself automatically to the time message sent by radio.One of the most exact clocks in the world with a cesium time basis is operated inthe Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig (PTB), Germany. Itstheoretical deviation is calculated to be 1 second per 1 million years.The transmitter of the time message has an average range of approx. 1,500 kmand is positioned in Mainflingen at Frankfurt/Main (Germany).In many cases the antenna system still receives the time message at evengreater distances from the transmitter. The local reception and weather conditionsplay an important role.Take into account that for topographical reasons transmission gaps in valleys cancause reception gaps.The radio clock receiver receives the transmitter signal via the built-in antennasystem wherever you have a good long-wave reception with a good portableradio.685028A0•816733•7907k2•24.11.2004 We reserve the right to carry out improvements 61

Quatronic dialog 4-channel CentralControl UnitOnce it has been set correctly automatically via a radio signal, the clock displayruns with an internal quartz clock, only compares the indicated time once aminute with the time message and, if necessary, carries out corrections.Thanks to this internal clock it does not matter whether thunder or radiointerference causes transmitter interruptions externally or internally.In addition to the advantages of the time display precise down to a second, yourQuatronic dialog automatically changes over from standard time to winter timeand back again.In addition the radio clock reception ensures that the time is set automaticallyafter a power failure.Negative influences on the radio reception can also be caused by buildings withmetallic building claddings. Sources of interference in normal households arehousehold devices, TVs and PCs without interference suppression. Power cablesand metallic objects such as antennas and sheet metal sheathings have to be atleast 0.5 m away from the "Wind/Photo/Radio clock" sensor.If radio reception is not possible, an external radio clock sensor can be connected.This can be mounted at a site with better reception irrespective of the position ofthe "Wind/Photo/Radio clock" sensor (refer to Section 12.7).23.2 "Rain" sensorElectronic recognition of rain with heated measuring surface.Recognition of rain, sleet, snow, hail (after hailstone has started to melt)MountingMount the sensor outdoors.
