Wisotronic dialog 2/3-Channel Control Unit 

EWFS ® 

1. General 

6 


With the Wisotronic dialog you now own a multifunctional sun protection control 

unit which can control various sun protection products (slat products, cloth 

products, roller shutters, window drives, etc.) intelligently in accordance with the 

respective weather conditions. The Wisotronic dialog is available in 2 basic 

variants: 

® 2-channel module 

® 3-channel module 

The control panel and power unit can be mounted separately and only have to be 

connected by means of a 4-wire line. Drives, sensors, lock switches, and 

pushbuttons are connected to the power unit. Various modules of the power unit 

are available to suit the respective control panel: 

® As a REG / DIN rail-mounted device (REG, 12 modular spacings) 

® In a flush-type housing 

® In a surface-type housing 

You can either operate your sun protection products manually or leave the 

operation completely to the automatic control products. The Wisotronic dialog 

protects your sun/view protection against harmful weather influences and offer 

extensive comfort and safety functions. The Wisotronic dialog can furthermore be 

operated via an EWFS radio remote control unit (1 or 8 channels), whereby the 

radio receiver is integrated in the control panel. 

The Wisotronic dialog evaluates the data for: 

® Wind, 

® Rain, 

® Brightness, 

® Internal and external temperature, 

® Relative humidity 

® Time (DCF-77 reception) 

and correspondingly controls the corrected sun protection products, such as slat 

products (outside venetian blinds, internal venetian blinds), cloth products 

(awnings, pleated blinds), vertical venetian blinds, darkening units, roller shutter 

and window drives.

2. For your safety 

We have developed, manufactured and tested the Wisotronic under observance 

of the fundamental safety requirements. 

Residual risks nevertheless remain! 

■ Therefore read these instructions before you operate the control system the 

first time. They help you to get to know the functions of the device and to use 

them optimally. 

■ Therefore keep these instructions at a place which is accessible at all times for 

all users! 

Hierarchic warnings are used in these instructions. 

They are identified by a warning sign in the margin and graded hierarchically as 

follows: 

1. WARNING 

2. ATTENTION 

3. CAUTION 

WARNING 

ATTENTION 

CAUTION 

The term WARNING is used as a warning against immediate 

imminent danger. 

Death or serious injuries may result (damage to persons) 

The term ATTENTION is used as a warning against a possible 

imminent danger. 

Death, serious or minor injuries (damage to persons), damage to 

property or damage to the environment may result. 

The term CAUTION is used as an application 

recommendation. 

Damage to property may result from non-observance. 




2.1 Usage to the intended 

purpose 

2.2 Target group 

8 


In addition to the hierarchic warnings described above we use the following 

symbols: 

TIP 

■ This sign identifies 

This is used to mark text sections which contain additional 

explanations, information or hints. 

- Activities which you must carry out, or 

- Instructions which must be observed. 

ATTENTION 

The control system allows the connection of a conventional 

sun protection drive with a single-phase a.c. motor per 

channel. Alternatively several sun protection drives can be 

connected together via motor control units. 

When window drives are used, the installer of the system 

must ensure that the safety requirements and regulations of 

DIN EN 60335-2-103 "Special requirements for drives of gates, 

doors and windows" as well as of ZH 1/494 "Guideline for 

power-driven windows, doors and gates" are observed. 

The approval of the manufacturer has to be obtained if the device 

is to be used to a purpose different to that described here. Usage 

which is not to the intended purpose can result in damage to the 

user or third parties as well as damage to the device itself, the 

connected devices or to the moving mechanical parts of the 

complete system. 

■ Therefore always use our product to the intended purpose only! 

These instructions are intended for all those persons who operate the device. If 

you require additional information, please contact your specialist dealer. 

ATTENTION 

Operation by persons who are not sufficiently qualified and 

informed can cause severe damage to the system or even 

damage to persons! 

■ Mounting and commissioning may therefore only be carried out by 

correspondingly trained specialists! This personnel must be able to recognize 

dangers which can be caused by the mechanical, electrical or electronic 

equipment! 

ATTENTION 

If it is to be assumed that safe operation is not possible, the 

device may not be taken into operation or it must be shut 

down. 

■ This assumption is justified if the device or the connecting cables show 

damage or if the device no longer functions.

2.3 General safety 

instructions 

2.4 Software version 

The Wisotronic controls your sun/view protection automatically. You must 

therefore observe the following safety instructions: 

ATTENTION 

An automatically controlled mechanism can start moving 

unexpectedly! 

■ Therefore never place any objects in the area of movement of an automatically 

controlled mechanism! 

■ If measuring or test work has to be carried out on the active system, ensure 

that existing accident prevention regulations are observed under all 

circumstances. 

CAUTION 

CAUTION 

ATTENTION 

An automatically controlled sunblind (for example roller 

shutters at balcony doors) can move downwards 

automatically and lock you out! If the Wisotronic controls 

such sunblinds via an automatic system, you should "play it 

safe" and de-activate these temporarily when you leave the 

house! 

The complete system cannot function if the power fails. 

Therefore move your sunblind to a safe position in time if a 

storm is imminent! 

Children must not play with this product. Remote control 

units of all types must not fall into the hands of children! 

The following documents are available in addition to these instructions:

Please refer to Section 9 for further information about establishing the software 

version of your device. 




3. Introduction 

3.1 The control field 

10 


The Wisotronic dialog is distinguished by its particularly user-friendly user 

interface. All the setting steps and measured values are displayed in clear text in a 

clearly structured display window which is simply called "Display" in this 

document. Programming of the control system is carried out by means of four 

function buttons. Menu items are selected and information is called up by means 

of a function dial.

04 : 04: 04 

Fig. 3-1: Operating and display elements of the Wisotronic dialog 

1. Clearly-structured 4-line display: This display informs you about all the 

elements that you can set or read on the Wisotronic. You can, for example, 

read the current measured values of the outdoor brightness and temperature 

or the current time. 

2. Function buttons: Various processes can be triggered by using the function 

buttons, depending on what is displayed. You can, for example, save your 

settings, change menu displays and modify limits. Manual operation of the 

sunblind is also carried out by means of the function buttons. The assignment 

of the individual buttons is indicated by symbols which can be viewed above 

the buttons in the display. 

3. Function dial: This dial with latching function allows the easy selection of 

menus or the display of current weather data and measured values in the 

display. If the dial is pressed, the move command currently being executed is 

interrupted and the connected sunblind is stopped immediately.

3.2 Basic functions 

3.2.1 Display of the room 

temperature 

3.2.2 Display of the position and 

cause/manual operation 

Operation of the Wisotronic is easy to understand and self-explanatory to a great 

extent. If the control system was commissioned and set by your specialist dealer, 

you usually do not have to modify anything. You can access the following displays 

by turning the function dial. 

TIP 

The displays shown in these instructions are examples of the 

3-channel variant. The displayed entries which can be 

modified may therefore differ from those on the display of 

your Wisotronic. If you only have the 2-channel variant, the 

third channel is therefore not displayed on your display. 

This standard display always consists of the display of the current room 

temperature and is displayed automatically when the Wisotronic has not been 

operated for three minutes. 

Temperature 

X 23° C 

H! T H #T 

If the buttons under the "UP" or "DOWN" symbols are pressed, the sunblind (here 

connected to Channels 1 and 2) is moved in the corresponding direction. (Instead 

of the room temperature the cause and direction of movement are then 

displayed.) 

The next menu is accessed by turning the dial clockwise:

H§ßT 

Upper half: Shows whether the sunblind is being moved currently and which 

action triggered a move command. 

Lower half: If the buttons under the "UP" or "DOWN" symbols are pressed, the 

sunblind (here connected to Channel 1 or 2) is moved in the corresponding 

direction. 

■ Press the button T and the sunblind at the corresponding channel moves 

down. If you want to stop the movement, press the button of the opposite 

direction, in this case H. Alternatively you can press the function dial. This 

always has a higher priority and also stops the movement, even if the arrows 

H and T are not visible on the display or if the move commands were 

triggered by the remote control. 

TIP 

Move commands which were triggered by safety functions 

(wind, rain or ice monitoring) cannot be stopped! 

Note: The move behavior and the operation depend on the set sunblind product. 

For further information please read the "Manual Operation" section in section 6.8.

3.3 Facades and channels 

Because the term "Facade" is often misunderstood in the field of sun protection 

control systems, this term will be examined in more detail here: 

The Wisotronic dialog disposes of two or three channels, also called "Outputs". 

Each output can control either an individual sun protection product (for example 

an awning), or a whole group of similar sun protection products (for example a 

group of roller shutters). 

The individual channels can be controlled completely independently of each other. 


dialog 3K 

Mo 01.01.2004 

04 : 04: 04 Uhr 

Fig. 3-2: Channels of the Wisotronic dialog 

In the example shown above Channel 1 controls the awning (Facade 1), Channel 2 

the conservatory awnings (Facade 2) and Channel 3 the outside venetian blinds of 

the conservatory (Facade 2). It is obvious that it is not possible to differentiate 

according to the building facades in this example but rather according to the 

individual channels. 

A different example: The Wisotronic controls all the roller shutters on the West 

facade with Channel 1, all the roller shutters on the South facade with Channel 2 

and all the roller shutters on the East facade with Channel 3. Since controlling is 

carried by facades in this example, it would also be possible to use the term 

"Facade" instead of "Channel" here. 

TIP 

In these instructions we will always use the term "Channel". 




4. The menu structure 

4.1 Channel-dependent or nonchannel-dependent? 

4.2 Safety and comfort 

functions 

18 


The representation of the menu structure on the next page is intended to help 

you learn to operate the Wisotronic rapidly. Whenever you need help or are 

looking for a specific menu item, look it up here. The section numbers of this 

manual are printed next to the individual menu items. Refer to the section where 

you will immediately find the desired function. 

When operating the Wisotronic it is necessary to differentiate between channeldependent 

and non-channel-dependent functions: 

Channel-dependent functions can be activated and set separately for each 

individual channel of the Wisotronic. Channel-dependent functions can always be 

recognized by the channel symbols: 

1 2 3 and 

Non-channel-dependent functions are higher-level functions. These apply either 

for all the channels simultaneously or apply to general settings such as for 

example the time or display contrast. Non-channel specific functions can always 

be recognized by this symbol: 

0 

We furthermore differentiate between safety and comfort functions: 

Safety functions: 

® Wind monitoring 

® Ice monitoring 

® Rain monitoring 

Comfort functions: 

® Sun control 

® Dawn/dusk control 

® Temperature control 

® Humidity control 

® Timer switch 

® Comfort timer

6.1 Sun control 

TIP 

Changing the user settings can impair the safety of the 

system or reduce its effectiveness! If you are not sure what 

effect a change has, consult an expert. 

The sun control is one of the most important comfort functions of the Wisotronic 

because the most important control mode for sun protection products is that of 

controlling as a function of the brightness. The sensors "Wind/Photo", "Wind/Photo/Radio 

clock" or the sensor "Photo" (180°) can be used to detect the brightness. 

If the brightness exceeds the set "Down" limit, a move command is triggered and 

the sunblind is moved downwards. If the "Photo" measured value drops below the 

set "Up" limit, the sunblind is moved upwards again. 

The following values can be changed for each channel: 

Sun control 

Sun control ON/OFF 

Sun limit UP 

Sun delay UP 

Sun limit OPEN 

Only meanfully in case of selected 

product type "slat products" 

Sun delay OPEN

■ Activate or de-activate the sun control by using the buttons — + and then 

press the button | (save). The symbol ¡ reminds you that you are carrying 

out the settings for Channel 1. If you want to exit the menu without saving the 

changes, press the }button twice consecutively. This completes the process. 

TIP

■ You can also change the channels directly by repeatedly pressing the button 

below the channel number. 

93280680•816755•7979k0•08.10.2004



6.1.2 Sun control limit "DOWN" 

6.1.3 Sun control delay "DOWN" 

6.1.4 Sun control position 

"DOWN" 

The limit "DOWN" specifies the intensity of brightness from which the sunblind is 

to be moved down. The setting range is from 0 - 99 klx. If you do not want to 

evaluate the limit "DOWN", you can also set the value "0" (---) here. Proceed 

as follows in order to change the setting value: 

■ Change to the sun control menu as described above and select a channel. 

Turn the function dial until the following display appears: 

Sun 

limit DOWN 

35 klx 

— + ¡ | } 

■ Change the setting values by using the buttons — + and then press the 

button | (save). The symbol ¡ reminds you that you are carrying out the 

settings for Channel 1. If you want to exit the menu without saving the 

changes, press the } button twice consecutively. This completes the 

process. 

A delay can be assigned to the limit "DOWN" so that the sun protection does not 

move down immediately whenever the brightness changes (for example when 

the sun shines temporarily through an otherwise heavy layer of cloud). This 

smooths the movement behavior of the sun protection and thus increases the 

comfort. If the limits are reached or exceeded for the duration of this delay period, 

the "DOWN" command is triggered and the sun protection is moved down. The 

setting range is from 0 - 99 minutes. Proceed as follows in order to change the 

setting value: 



Sun 

delay DOWN 

2 minutes 

— + ¡ | } 





process. 

The limit "Position" specifies the position to which the sunblind is to be moved 

down when the sun control limit is exceeded. The setting range is from 0-100%, 

whereby a value of 0% corresponds to the upper end position and a value of 

100% to the lower end position. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting 

value: 



Sun 

position DOWN 

100% 

— + ¡ | } 





process. 




6.1.5 Sun control limit "UP" 

6.1.6 Sun control delay "UP" 

34 


The limit "UP" specifies the intensity of brightness at which the sunblind is to be 

moved up. The setting range is from 0 - 99 klx. If you do not want to evaluate the 

limit "UP", you can also set the value "0" (---) here. Proceed as follows in order 

to change the setting value: 



Sun 

limit UP 

15 klx 

— + ¡ | } 





process. 

A delay can be assigned to the limit "UP" so that the sun protection does not 

move up immediately whenever the brightness changes (for example when the 

sun is covered temporarily by a cloud). This smoothens the move behavior of the 

sun protection and thus increases the comfort. If the limits are reached or 

exceeded for the duration of this delay period, the "UP" command is triggered and 

the sun protection is moved up. The setting range is from 0 - 99 minutes. Proceed

process. 

TIP 

If the sun control is used in combination with the dawn/dusk 

control, you have to set the "Sun delay UP" and the "Sun 

delay OPEN" periods of the sun control to longer than 5 

minutes, because the delay periods of the dawn/dusk control 

are fixed internally at 5 minutes. Otherwise the Dawn/dusk 

control does not work properly.

6.1.7 Sun control limit "OPEN" This function only makes sense if you have selected a slat product (external 

venetian blind or internal venetian blind) as the product type. This specifies the 

brightness from which the slats of external or internal venetian blinds are to be 

turned to a horizontal position, for example in order to let more light into the room 

when the sky is covered but bright. The setting range is from 0 - 99 klx. If you do 

not want to evaluate the limit "OPEN", you can also set the value "0" 

(---) here. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting value:

process. 

This function only makes sense if you have selected a slat product (external 

venetian blind or internal venetian blind) as the product type. A delay period can 

be assigned to the "OPEN" limit so that the slats are not turned open immediately 

whenever the intensity of brightness changes (for example if the clouds only 

become denser temporarily). This smooths the move behavior of the sun 

protection and thus increases the comfort. The turn command is triggered and the 

slats are turned open if the limits are reached or if the value drops below these 

limits for the duration of the delay period. The setting range is from 0 - 99 

minutes. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting value: 



Sun

process. 

The following instructions for the setting of the "DOWN", "OPEN" and "UP" limits 

have to be observed in order for the sun control to function properly in connection 

with the "OPEN" limit: 

■ The lowest value must always be the value for "UP", for example 5 klx 

■ The highest value must always be the value for "DOWN", for example 30 klx 

■ The value for "OPEN" must be set between these values, for example 10 klx. 

TIP 

In order to find the optimal setting for your sun protection 

system you should test various values on a bright day with 

varying cloud situations. This is the only way of obtaining the 

optimum result.

venetian blind or internal venetian blind) as the product type. If you have 

connected slat products such as external venetian blinds to a channel, you can 

specify how the slats are to be set after the movement down has been 

completed. This makes sense in particular if you prefer a particular setting. In 

addition, you do not have to turn the slats open manually after an automatic 

movement down. The sun control takes over the task of turning open the slats for 

you automatically if a corresponding programming exists. The slat setting for 

automatic operation has been set to a value of 38° in our works. 

The following fig. illustrates the setting of the slat angle:

6.1.10 Using the sun control 

correctly 

6.1.11 The sun control during 

wind, rain or ice alert 

The following section describes the effects of the setting values for the sun control 

described above in more detail. The graphic below explains how the outdoor 

brightness can change during the course of a certain period by means of an 

example diagram: 

Fig. 6-4: Course of brightness and movement behavior 

The thick black curve represents the course of brightness. The two horizontal 

lines are the limits specified by you for moving the sun protection up or down. 

The vertical dashed lines mark the delay periods for activating and de-activating. 

Let us assume that you have set 2 minutes for this delay period, then the sun 

protection reacts as follows: 

The outdoor brightness increases until Point 1 of the curve is reached. The 

"DOWN" limit is reached here. The "DOWN" delay period now begins but your sun 

protection is not yet moved down. The brightness drops below the "DOWN" limit 

at Point 2 of the curve before the "DOWN" delay period has expired. Your sun 

protection has remained at the top position. 

Later on the brightness increases again and exceeds the "DOWN" limit once more 

at Point 3. The "DOWN" delay period now begins but your sun protection is not 

yet moved down. However, the "DOWN" delay period has already expired at Point 

4 and the limit is still exceeded - the sun protection now moves down. 

Now a cloud moves in front of the sun and your rooms slowly become too dark. 

The limit "UP" is dropped at point 5. Nothing happens yet, because the "UP" delay 

period now first starts - the sun protection therefore does not move up yet. The 

"UP" delay period has finally expired at Point 6 and the brightness still lies below 

the "UP" limit. The sun protection now moves up again. 

The correct setting of the delay periods thus results in a comfortable control of 

the sun protection. It contributes to "smoothening" the reaction behavior of the 

control system. This ensures that the sun protection is not moved immediately 

whenever the outside brightness changes.

The dawn/dusk control is a further comfort function of the Wisotronic which 

allows you to control the sun protection or mainly view protection depending on 

the dawn or dusk situation. The brightness is detected by Photo sensors. If the 

brightness drops below the set "DOWN" limit for the duration of 5 minutes, a 

move command is triggered which moves the sun/view protection down. If the 

"Photo" measured value exceeds the set "UP" limit for the duration of 5 minutes, 

the sun protection is moved up again.

6.3 Temperature control 

The temperature control of the Wisotronic allows temperature-dependent control 

of your sunblind in connection with temperature detectors ("Temperature" 

sensors). A sensor for the room temperature is already integrated into the device 

itself (device-internal sensor). Three further "Temperature" (inside) sensors and 

one "Temperature" (outside) sensor can be connected additionally to the 

Wisotronic. 

TIP 

Application example: 

Channel 2:

The temperature control can evaluate either the deviceintegrated 

sensor OR a sensor connected to the power unit, 

but not several ones simultaneously (for each individual 

channel of the Wisotronic).

Channel 2 controls the external venetian blind at the conservatory depending on 

the temperature in the conservatory, also measured with Sensor A. 

Channel 3 controls the roller shutters in the living room depending on the 

temperature in the living room, measured with the sensor integrated into the control 

panel of the Wisotronic ("Temperature (integrated)"). 

The outside temperature is measured with Sensor B. The external venetian blind, 

conservatory awning and roller shutters are subject to ice monitoring and are 

moved up before they freeze solid.

6.3.1 Basic functions 

44 


The temperature control allows the comfortable control of your sunblind 

depending on the internal and external temperature. Window drives can be 

controlled additionally. 

1. The temperature control can be activated or de-activated completely channelby-channel. 

2. The Wisotronic controls your system by constantly comparing the temperature 

limits set by you with the local prevailing temperatures. If the temperature 

exceeds or drops below the limit, move commands are then triggered. 

Prerequisite: The required sensors have to be connected and assigned 

correctly. 

3. Three operating modes are available for the temperature control: 

The "Direct control" operating mode simply only triggers move commands 

when the temperature exceeds or drops below the limit. 

The "Enable sun" operating mode can be used to activate/de-activate the sun 

control. 

The "Difference temperature" operating mode can be used to control window 

drives depending on the internal and external temperature. 

4. Limits have to be specified in order for Wisotronic to fulfill all these control 

tasks. The temperature control can then be adapted optimally to your 

requirements.

6.3.4 Changing the operating 

mode 

46 


Three operating modes are available for the temperature control: 

® Direct control 

® Enable sun 

® Difference temperature 

This operating mode simply only triggers move commands when limits are 

exceeded. 

This operating mode can be used to activate/de-activate the sun control. 

Example: On a cold clear winter day you want the sun to first heat up your 

conservatory before the sun protection becomes active. After all, the sun is the 

most inexpensive heating source. You can therefore program the Wisotronic so 

that the sun control is not activated until a certain inside temperature has been 

reached. The "Enable sun" operating mode is used to this purpose. 

In this operating mode the control system compares the internal and external 

temperature. If the temperature exceeds or drops below the limit, move 

commands are then triggered. 

Example: You wish to maintain your ideal temperature in a living room with builton 

conservatory. To this purpose you have connected window drives to the control 

system. You can now specify a limit which represents your "cozy" 

temperature, for example 22°C. If the sun shines into the conservatory in the 

morning, the room temperature also rises and at some point reaches your ideal 

value of 22°C. When this value is exceeded, the control system opens a window 

and lets cool air into the room. When your ideal temperature is reached again, the 

window is closed automatically again. However, if the external temperature 

reaches values of, for example, 30°C in the course of the day, it would not make 

any sense to let this hot air into the room. The control system recognizes this fact 

and therefore keeps the window closed. The window is not opened again until 

the external air has cooled down. 

Proceed as follows in order to change the operating mode: 

■ Change to the temperature control menu as described above and select a

Example: You want the sun to support the process of heating your conservatory 

on cold clear winter days. You can therefore specify for the control system from 

which temperature the sun protection is to be moved up in order to let the 

sunlight into the conservatory. The setting range is from –24°C to 74°C. If you do 

not want to evaluate the limit "UP", you can also set the value

The limit "DOWN" specifies the temperature at which the sunblind is to be moved

a bearable level on hot midsummer days. You can therefore specify for the 

Wisotronic at which temperature the sunblind is to be moved down in order to 

shade the conservatory. The setting range is from –24°C to 74°C. If you do not 

want to evaluate the limit "DOWN", you can also set the value "0" (---) here.

heated up your conservatory and your ideal temperature has been reached. You 

can therefore specify for the Wisotronic at which temperature the sun control is 

to be enabled again in order to shade the conservatory. The setting range is from 

–24° to 74°C. If you do not want to evaluate the limit "ON", you can also set the

the most inexpensive heating source. However, if the sun control is activated at 

the same time, this could move the sun protection down before your ideal 

temperature has been reached. You can therefore program the control system so 

that the sun control is not activated until a certain inside temperature has been 

reached. The setting range is from –24°C to 74°C. If you do not want to evaluate

"Difference temperature" 


You can use this operating mode to cool and ventilate a room by controlling your 

windows depending on the internal and external temperatures. The difference 

temperature modes operates with four adjustable limits: 

1. Limit "ON" (maximum cozy temperature): If the internal temperature 

exceeds this limit, it is too warm inside. The difference temperature control is 

activated in order to ventilate and cool the room. 

2. Limit "OFF" (minimum cozy temperature): If the internal temperature drops 

below this limit, it is too cold inside. The difference temperature control is deactivated 

again and the windows are closed again. 

3. Limit difference temperature "OPEN" (outside cooler than inside): If the 

external temperature lies under the internal temperature by at least the set 

difference temperature, the windows are opened to ventilate and cool the 

room. 

4. Limit difference temperature "CLOSE" (outside too hot): If the external 

temperature is not significant lower than the internal temperature, the room 

can no longer be cooled by the hot external air. The necessary difference 

temperature limit "CLOSE" can be set. The windows are closed again so that 

the room is not heated up further by the increasingly hot external air. 

Example: In the morning it is initially too cool in the room. The sun shines 

through the windows into the room and heats it up. When the internal 

temperature exceeds the maximum cozy temperature, the difference 

temperature control is activated. Because it is cooler outside than inside, the 

windows are opened. 

The ventilation cools the room. If the room temperature drops below the 

minimum cozy temperature, the windows are closed again in order to prevent the 

room from cooling down. If the internal temperature rises again above the 

maximum cozy temperature and it is still cooler outside than inside, the windows 

are opened again. 

In the course of the day the external temperature rises further due to the sun 

irradiation. If it becomes too hot outside in order to cool the room by ventilating it, 

the windows are closed again. 

During the evening the external temperature drops again and at some stage it is 

cooler outside than inside again. The windows are opened again in order to 

ventilate and cool again, until the minimum cozy temperature in the room is 

reached. Then the windows are closed again in order to protect the room against 

cooling down.

This operating mode only makes sense if the connected product is a window 

drive. A "window" must therefore also be set as the product type. In this operating 

mode the control system compares the internal and external temperature. If the 

temperature exceeds or drops below the limit, move commands are triggered.

Fig. 6-13: Temperature control: Values which can be changed in the "Difference

The limit "ON" specifies the room temperature above which the window is 

opened for ventilating and cooling. Example: You wish to maintain your maximum 

cozy temperature to a great extent in a living room with a built-on conservatory. To 

this purpose you have connected window drives to the control system. You can 

now specify a limit which represents your cozy temperature, for example 24°C. If 

the sun shines into the conservatory in the morning, the room temperature also

not open the window for cooling and ventilating until this temperature has been 

reached. The setting range is from –24°C to 74°C. If you do not want to evaluate 

the limit "ON", you can also set the value "0" (---) here. Proceed as follows in

6.3.7.2 Temperature limit "OFF" 


limit "OPEN" 

The limit "OFF" specifies the minimum cozy temperature at which the 

temperature control is to be disabled and the window is to be closed again. 

Example: If the room temperature drops to a value of, for example 20°C through 

ventilating, the temperature control is disabled and the window is closed again in 

order to protect the room against cooling down. The setting range is from 

–24°C to 74°C. If you do not want to evaluate the limit "OFF", you can also set the 

value ---here. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting value: 



Temperature 

limit OFF 

20° C 

— + ¡ | } 





process. 

The limit "OPEN" specifies by how many degrees the external temperature has to 

be lower than the internal temperature so that the window is opened. If the value 

is exceeded, the window is opened. Example: Your max. cozy temperature is 

from 24°C, which has already been reached. If the external temperature lies lower 

than the internal temperature by the set difference temperature limit "OPEN", the 

window is opened for ventilating and cooling. If you set 5°C here, the window is 

not opened again until the external temperature has dropped 

24°C - 5°C = 19°C. The setting range is from 1 to 20°C. If you do not want to 

evaluate the limit "OPEN", you can also set the value "0" (---) here. Proceed as 

follows in order to change the setting value: 



Diff. temp.

5° C 

— + ¡ | } 





process. 

TIP 

Correct setting of the limits "OPEN" and "CLOSE" thus 

smoothens the move behavior of the window drive and 

therefore means that the window is not opened or closed 

immediately whenever the temperature changes. 





limit "CLOSE" 

54 


The limit "CLOSE" specifies by how many degrees the external temperature has 

to be lower than the internal temperature so that the window remains opened. If 

the difference temperature drops below the limit "CLOSE", the window is closed. 

Example: Your maximum coszy temperature is from 24°C which has already 

been reached. The window has already been opened automatically. The external 

temperature increases and the difference temperature between outside and 

inside drops below the limit of the difference temperature limit "CLOSE". The 

window is now closed. If you set 5°C as limit "CLOSE" and the increasing external 

temperature is only to 5°C or less lower than the internal temperature, then the 

window is closed.The setting range is from 1 to 20°C. If you do not want to 

evaluate the limit "CLOSE", you can also set the value "0" (---) here. Proceed

6.4 Rain monitoring 

6.4.1 Rain monitoring ON/OFF 

Although external venetian blinds and roller shutters are relatively insensitive 

against rain, all cloth products such as articulated arm awnings and conservatory 

awnings have to be protected against rain. If you have set one of these cloth 

products as a product in your Wisotronic, the rain monitoring function is set 

automatically for this product as a safety function. Prerequisite for this safety 

function is the connection of a sensor for rain. If you wish, you can naturally also 

activate the rain monitoring function for other sun protection products specifically 

for each channel. If precipitation (rain or snow) falls on the "Rain" sensor, the sun 

protection is moved up. The preselected comfort functions and manual moving 

are then blocked. After the "Rain" sensor has dried again and the delay period 

which is set in the sensor has expired, the preselected comfort functions and 

manual moving are enabled again.

6.5 Humidity control 

The humidity control is a further comfort function of the Wisotronic. This is used 

to open a motor-driven window or to activate a ventilation device when an 

adjustable humidity limit is exceeded or to activate an air humidifying device (for 

example an indoor spring) if the humidity drops below a limit. The combined 

"Temperature/humidity" (inside) sensor can be used to detect the humidity. 

CAUTION 

Non-sun-protection devices may only be integrated into a sun 

protection system if certain regulations are observed. Should 

you have any questions about connecting non-sun-protection 

devices, please contact your specialist dealer!

6.5.2 Humidity limit "OPEN" 

6.5.3 Humidity limit "CLOSE" 

The limit "OPEN" specifies the humidity as from which the move command is to 

be initiated. Example: A motor-driven window is to be opened as from a relative 

humidity of 75%. The setting range is from 1 to 99%RH (relative humidity). If you 

do not want to evaluate the limit "OPEN", you can also set the value "0" (---) 

here. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting value: 

■ Change to the humidity control menu as described above and select a

so that the relative humidity in the room has already sunk again. The window is to 

be closed again as from a relative humidity of 45%. The setting range is from 1 to 

99%RH. If you do not want to evaluate the limit "CLOSE", you can also set the 

value "0" (---) here. Proceed as follows in order to change the setting value:

The timer switch is a further comfort function of the Wisotronic which allows the 

sunblind to be moved up or down at a certain moment specifically for each 

channel. Move commands can be programmed: 

® Together for a complete working week (Monday to Friday) 

® For the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). 

In case of down movements the subsequent turning up of the slats of a slat 

product can be programmed with different slat angles.

6.7 Comfort timer 

The comfort timer is used to activate or de-activate the comfort functions (sun, 

humidity, dawn/dusk and temperature control) at a certain time specifically for 

each channel. The times can be programmed: 

® Together for a complete working week (Monday to Friday) 

® For the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). 

The comfort timer switches all the comfort functions together. It is not possible 

to influence individual functions separately. The timer switch is not affected. It 

operates separately from the comfort timer. The following graphics help to explain 

how the comfort timer functions: It is easy to recognize that the comfort 

functions first have to be "enabled" by the comfort timer before move commands 

can be executed. It also becomes clear that manual operation and the timer 

switch operate independently.

6.8.2 "Time mode" 

6.8.3 "Permanent mode" 

6.8.4 "Continuous mode" 

70 


In this section you learn how your sun protection can be operated manually. Different 

sun protection products also require different control behaviors. For example, 

it makes sense at external venetian blinds to be able to adjust the slat angle by 

means of a short move command, whereas this does not make much sense at 

awnings or roller shutters. Depending on the sun protection product which is to 

be controlled, you can choose between the following control modes: 

® Dead man’s mode 

® Time mode 

® Permanent mode 

® Continuous mode 

In this setting the sunblind moves in the desired direction until the button is 

released again. 

This control mode is particularly suitable for slat products such as external 

venetian blinds or internal venetian blinds: The sunblind moves in the 

corresponding direction after the button has been pressed. If the button is 

pressed for longer than 2.5 seconds, the control system remains locked. The 

button can then be released. The sun protection moves until the set runtime has 

expired. In order to de-activate the lock mode and stop the motor, the button with 

the opposite move command has to be pressed briefly. The slats are turned up 

after the "DOWN" runtime has expired. 

If you only want to turn the slats, just press one of the buttons briefly. 

If you want the slats to remain closed after moving down, press the "Down" 

button once more during the "DOWN" runtime. The sunblind moves until the end 

of the runtime - the slats do not turn up. 

This control mode is suitable for, for example, roller shutters and cloth products. 

The runtime starts immediately after the "Up" button has been pressed. The 

sunblind is moved up. If the "Down" button is pressed during the up movement, 

the drive stops. The adjustable runtime is started immediately after the "Down" 

button has been pressed. The sun protection is moved down. If the "Up" button is 

pressed during the down movement, the drive stops. 

This control mode is particularly suitable for lighting equipment: Brief pressing of 

the "Up" button - the connected device is switched on and the runtime is set to 

"endless". Brief pressing of the "Down" button - the device is switched off again. 

TIP 

The set control mode also operates with the remote control. 

The movement can also be stopped by pressing the function 

dial. 

93280680•816755•7979k0•08.10.2004



6.8.5 Changing the control 

mode 

If you have set the connected sunblind correctly (as described in Section 8.2), 

advisable setting values have already been set for each of these products, for 

example: 

® For slat products "Time mode" 

® For cloth products and roller shutters "Permanent mode" 

We recommend that you do not change these values. If you nevertheless want to 

carry out changes because, for example, you have connected other devices (e.g. 

windows, facade awnings) to the Wisotronic, proceed as follows:

venetian blinds or internal venetian blinds) as the product type. You can specify 

how the slats are to be set after the down movement has been completed. You 

can ensure that the sunblind is turned either to let the light through (horizontal, 

setting 0°) or to view protection (for example +80°). If you move down the 

sunblind manually you do not have to wait until the sunblind has reached the 

"Down" position in order to set the slats. The Wisotronic takes over the task of 

turning open the slats for you automatically if a corresponding programming 

exists.

You can reverse the direction of movement during manual operation specifically 

for each channel. This has an effect on the following operating elements: 

® Function buttons of the Wisotronic 

® Operating buttons of the remote control 

® External operating buttons connected to the Wisotronic 

Example: You want an awning to be moved in and not out when the "Down" 

button is pressed.

6.9 Learning/deleting the 

remote control 

6.9.1 Displaying the assignment 

The Wisotronic dialog is supplied with an 8-channel radio remote control. This can 

be used to operate the connected sunblind. Read the corresponding user 

instructions before using the remote control for the first time. If you want to use 

several remote controls, you can teach several remote controls, assign channels 

or delete remote controls. 

The assignment of all the remote controls "known" (learned) to the Wisotronic can 

be displayed specifically for the channels:

6.9.2 Learning a remote control 

6.9.3 Building a group 

If you learn an 8-channel remote control for the Wisotronic, you must first select 

the channel which you want to learn at the remote control. You have to imagine 

that each individual channel can be viewed as a separate remote control. This 

recognizes the Wisotronic automatically. You can assign up to 16 remote controls 

to each channel of the Wisotronic. The learn procedure essentially consists of four 

steps: 

■ Selecting a channel of the Wisotronic. 

■ Selecting a channel at the remote control. 

■ Pressing the learn button at the remote control. The remote control has been 

learned.

6.10 Resetting alerts 

6.10.1 Resetting the ice alert 

manually 

In case of an ice alert those channels at which the ice monitoring function (service 

settings) has been activated are blocked, so that your sunblind cannot be moved 

either manually or automatically. This ice alert remains stored in the Wisotronic 

until it has been reset manually or automatically. The function "Ice alert reset" has 

to be used to reset an active ice alert, after you have convinced yourself that 

there is no danger of damage to the controlled sunblind. 

TIP 

CAUTION 

An ice alert can be reset either manually or automatically. This 

section explains how the ice alert is reset manually. The steps 

required to reset an ice alert automatically are explained in 

Section 8.4. 

First ensure that your sunblind cannot be damaged by the 

movement: External venetian blinds and roller shutters, 

cassette awnings and conservatory awnings can be frozen 

tight. If you nevertheless operate them, damage to property 

may result! If the sunblind is operated during icing, all 

guarantees and liabilities expire! 

To reset an ice alert manually: 


User 

settings 

1 2 3 0 

■ Select the desired channel of the Wisotronic at which an ice alert is active (in 

this example Channel 1). The following display is shown:

— + ¡ | } 




6.10.2 Enabling the ice alert 

again 

82 



1. Press the button +. The text 

CAUTION! is displayed. You now have to press the button + as often 

as is required to have read the following text completely: CAUTION! 

Resetting the ice alert enables the control 

of the channel. Movement commands 

could destroy frozen windows or 

sunblinds. The user is responsible for 

damage to frozen windows or sunblinds. 

RESET? Yes 

Ice alert 

man. reset 

YES 

— + ¡ | } 

■ Now press the button |(save). The ice alert has now been reset. The text 

Ice alert enable is displayed and the sunblind can be operated 

again. Then press the } button twice successively. This completes the 

process. 

CAUTION 

The ice alert now remains reset until the conditions for an ice 

alert exist again: If the external temperature drops below the 

set limit AND rain falls, the ice alert is activated again. 

We therefore recommend that you enable the ice alert in due 

course, in particular if your sunblind is not observed 

constantly (for example in your absence). 

An ice alert is saved in the Wisotronic for the duration of the ice condition. An 

example: Because the external temperature dropped below the freezing point 

during the night and freezing rain fell briefly afterwards, the ice alert is triggered, 

the sunblind is moved up and operation blocked. When you wanted to operate 

your sunblind the next morning, you found the ice alert. Because you wanted to 

operate the sunblind nevertheless, you reset the ice alert and have, for example, 

moved your external venetian blinds down. In the evening you want to enable the 

ice alert again, because the frost still exists. Because the ice condition continues 

to exist, the sunblind moves up again immediately after the ice alert has been 

enabled! 

CAUTION 

Therefore first ensure that your sun protection cannot be 

damaged by the movement: External venetian blinds and 

roller shutters, cassette awnings and conservatory awnings 

can be frozen tight in their guide rails. If the ice alert is 

enabled nevertheless while frost continues, damage to 

property may result! If the sunblind is operated during icing, 

all guarantees and liabilities expire!

You can adjust the backlight brightness of the display while non-operative to your 

requirements: If you prefer an unobtrusive display, which shines unobtrusively 

and does not blind during darkness, set a low value. If you prefer a bright display 

which also allows reading at a higher ambient brightness, set a higher value.

8. Channel-dependent 

service settings 

You can modify the service settings in order to adapt the Wisotronic dialog 

optimally to your requirements. There you can carry out product settings, 

influence the wind and ice monitoring functions and assign sensors to the 

individual channels. Normally you do not have to change anything at these values. 

All the settings have already been carried out during commissioning by your sun 

protection specialist partners. 

CAUTION 

Changing these settings can impair the safety of the system 

or reduce its effectiveness! If you are not sure what effect a 

change has, consult an expert. In order to protect the system 

against unauthorized or unintentional modifications, access 

to the service settings is protected by a password.

After you have carried out your settings and have completed 

them, de-energize the device for approx. 5 seconds and then 

switch it on again. This blocks the access to the service 

settings again so that they can only be opened again by 

entering the password. This ensures that unauthorized 

persons do not have access to the service settings!

8.2 The "Product" menu In this menu you can set the sunblind (slat products, cloth products, roller 

shutters, etc.) used separately for each channel and modify individual parameters 

such as the runtime, turn time, etc. . The following values can be changed: 

Fig. 7-2: The "Product" menu: Values which can be changed. 

Each of these products has different properties. This means that they also react 

differently to wind, require other turn times and runtimes or are perhaps 

positioned inside and therefore do not require rain and wind protection, etc.. So 

that you do not have to enter all the product-dependent setting values and limits 

whenever you set a product in the Wisotronic, the Wisotronic dialog carries out 

this work for you. The required values are already stored for many products. All 

the product-dependent setting values are programmed by only pressing a button.

Proceed as follows in order to change the product type specifically for each 

channel: 

■ Change to the product settings menu as described above and select a 

channel. The following display is shown: 

Product 

product type 


— + ¡ | } 

TIP 

When you have selected the product type and saved it, the 

values from the two tables shown at the front are set 

automatically. If you have carried out changes to the settings 

beforehand, your values are overwritten completely during 

saving (this does not apply to the date and time or remote 

controls already learned). 

■ Change the product type by using the buttons — + and then press the 



changes, press the }button twice consecutively. This completes the 

process. 

You have now changed the product type and together with this setting step the 

Wisotronic has carried out all the sensible settings for the sun protection product 

used. As a rule you do not have to carry out any further settings, unless you wish 

to optimize the control behavior further. 

The runtime of a sunblind is the time which the sunblind requires in order to move 

from one end setting to the other (for example from top to bottom). If a sun 

protection product is set as described above, sensible runtime and turn times are 

also set for this product in the Wisotronic. Normally it is not necessary to 

intervene here. This section describes how you can nevertheless carry out these 

adjustments. 

Experience shows that the runtimes of sunblind products differ. Thus a roller 

shutter with 150 cm length required a much shorter runtime than a folding arm 

awning with 300 cm extension. These runtimes can be adjusted to the connected 

product down to the second at the Wisotronic. You can also set separate runtimes 

for "UP" and "DOWN" because a sunblind requires more time to move up than to 

move down. Note: The runtimes are set to mean values in our works.

TIP 

Always adapt the runtime as precisely as possible to the 

actual runtime of the sunblind. If you want to stop the 

sunblind automatically in a specific position by the sun control, 

do not use the runtime to this purpose, but rather the 

function "Position DOWN" as described in Section 6.1.4. 




8.2.3 Turn time

The slat angle can be adjusted at outside venetian blinds and internal venetian 

blinds in order to change or optimize the light incidence in a room. 





Outside 

+80° 0° 

Inside 


It is obvious that a drive motor requires a certain time when turning the slat until 

(as in our simple example) the slats have been turned from the position "+80°" to 

the position "-80°". In addition this turn time differs for various product types. For 

example, an internal venetian blind requires approximately 0.5 seconds, whereas 

this procedure can also take 1.6 seconds for an outside venetian blind, type 

E80A6. If this turn time is known, you only have to store it once in your 

Wisotronic together with the minimum and maximum possible turning angle. 

Afterwards the turning angles can be specified by simply entering angle degrees. 

Time-consuming determining of turn times and experimenting are superfluous. 

The following table shows the most common product types and their turn times/ 

turning angles (only WAREMA products are listed here. If you want to control 

products of other manufacturers, please contact the respective manufacturer). 

If, for example, you have mounted external venetian blinds of the type E80A6, 

you have to set a value of 1.6 seconds for the turn time, a value of +80° for the 

maximum turning angle and -80° for the minimum turning angle.

Subsequently you can use the function "Slat angle", as described in the following 

sections: 

® 6.1.9 (Slat angle after down movement by means of sun control) 

® 6.2.4 (Slat angle after down movement by means of dawn/dusk control) 

® 6.6.6 (Slat angle after down movement by means of timer switch) 

® 6.8.6 (Slat angle after down movement by means of manual operation) 

After the sunblind has reached its lower end position, a brief turn pulse is sent to 

the drive motor. This turns, for example, the slats of external venetian blinds or 

internal venetian blinds open. You can determine this angle yourself and specify it 

to one degree exactly.

protection system is connected to its output. 

This setting is recommended if ... 

...only one drive is connected directly to a channel or 

...several drives are connected via motor control units (MCU), 

whereby no local operating buttons are connected to the 

MCU. 

Proceed as follows in order to change the setting:

to exit the menu without saving the changes, press the }button twice 

consecutively. This completes the process. 

TIP 

When a comfort function has triggered a move command, the 

sun protection is moved directly to the set position without a 

reference movement.

¡ reminds you that you are carrying out the settings for Channel 1. If you 

want to exit the menu without saving the changes, press the } button twice 

consecutively. This completes the process. 

TIP 

When a comfort function has triggered a move command, a 

reference movement DOWN is first carried out. Afterwards 

the sun protection is moved to the set position. 

If you have connected windows provided with lock switches (for example reed 

contacts) to the Wisotronic, you can connect these lock switches to the control 

system and evaluate them specifically by channel. For example, the moving of an 

internal venetian blind can be blocked if the window is not closed (prevention of 

damage). This control behavior is achieved through interlocking. If you want to 

evaluate the lock switches, proceed as follows:

TIP 

CAUTION 

If the lock switch detection is activated, the sunblind can only 

be moved if the lock switch is closed. See also section 4.3. 

If the lock switch is open, the sunblind cannot be moved - 

either not by the safety functions (wind, ice and rain 

monitoring)!

8.3 Wind Monitoring 

Strong wind can cause considerable damage to the sun protection. The 

Wisotronic therefore includes a permanent wind monitoring function which 

protects your sun protection against storm damage. In case of a wind alert the 

sun protection is moved up automatically and cannot be moved either manually or 

by a comfort function. The limits for a wind alert are already stored productspecifically 

in the Wisotronic. However, they can be changed and saved 

afterwards. Please ensure that you have already set the connected sun protection 

products correctly as described above. This means that usable setting values have 

already been stored for each sun protection product.

The thick black curve represents the course of the wind speed. The horizontal line 

represents the limit set by you for moving the sun protection up. The vertical 

dashed lines mark the delay periods for activating and de-activating. Let us 

assume that you have set 5 seconds for the activation delay period and 2 minutes 

for de-activation delay period, then the sun protection reacts as follows: 

The wind speed increases until Point 1 of the curve is reached. The limit for 

moving the sun protection up is reached here. The "UP" delay period now begins 

to run so that your sun protection is not yet moved up. At Point 2 of the curve the 

speed drops below the limit for moving up. The delay period is now canceled 

before it has expired and your sun protection has remained below. 

Later on the wind speed increases again and exceeds the limit once more at Point 

3. The "UP" delay period now begins to run again so that your sun protection is not 

yet moved up. However, the delay period has already expired at Point 4 and the 

limit is still exceeded - the sun protection now moves up. 

The wind now drops again and its speed drops below the "Up" limit at Point 5. 

Nothing happens yet, because the de-activation delay period now first starts - the 

sun protection therefore does not travel down yet. At Point 6 the de-activation 

delay period has finally expired and the speed still lies below the limit. The wind 

monitoring function now enables the operation of the sun protection again. 

The correct setting of the delay periods thus results in a comfortable control of 

the sun protection. It contributes to "smoothening" the reaction behavior of the 

control system. This ensures that the sun protection is not moved immediately 

whenever the wind speed changes.

delay 

You can assign a delay period to the wind alert separately for each channel so that 

your sunblind is not moved up at each gust of wind. If the wind limits are reached 

or exceeded for the duration of this delay period, the wind alert is triggered and 

the sunblind is moved up. At a wind speed above 20 m/s a further safety function 

of the Wisotronic is activated. The sunblind is moved up immediately. The 

activation delay period is skipped in this case. The setting range is from 0 - 20 

seconds. Proceed as follows in order to change the limit:

The wind alert remains active for a specific period for safety and comfort reasons. 

This smoothens the move behavior of your sunblind because the sunblind is not 

moved for the duration of the OFF delay, but remains in the "UP" position. After 

the OFF delay period has expired, the sunblind can be moved again by means of 

comfort functions or manual operation. The setting range is from 0 - 99 minutes.

8.4 Ice monitoring 

8.4.1 Ice monitoring ON/OFF 

108 


The ice monitoring function ensures that your sunblind does not freeze solid while 

in the down position and can be damaged later by move commands. The 

Wisotronic therefore moves the sunblind up in case of cold weather in connection 

with rain before ice can form in the guide rails. Note: The ice monitoring function 

is de-activated in our works. During an ice alert both manual control and comfort 

control operation are blocked. Prerequisite for ice monitoring: A sensor for 

external temperature and a "Rain" sensor have to be connected. If the external 

temperature drops below an adjustable value and the "Rain" sensor signals 

precipitation, the sunblind is moved up and blocked up in the upper end position.

9. Non-channeldependent 

service 

settings 

9.1 System settings 

9.1.1 Internal temperature offset 

112 


This section deals with the non-channel-dependent service settings. 

In this chapter we will describe the system settings. 

Depending on the position where your Wisotronic has been mounted, the 

temperature display of the Wisotronic may differ from a room thermometer 

mounted at a different position. Example: A room thermometer displays 24°C, 

but your Wisotronic displays 26°C. You can compensate this by setting an offset 

value amounting to the temperature difference, i.e. 2°C, at the Wisotronic. 

TIP 

Do not mount the Wisotronic in a position where influence 

from heat sources is to be expected (sun irradiation, 

radiators). This avoids faulty measurements! 

Proceed as follows in order to change the setting: 

■ Change to the service settings menu as described above. The following

9.1.2 Duration of the wind 

sensor test 

If the "Wind" sensor or its connecting cable is damaged, the Wisotronic cannot 

evaluate wind measured values and the wind monitoring function does not 

function. In order to exclude damage to your sunblind in case of such a defect, 

you can activate the wind sensor test. If the Wisotronic does not receive a signal 

from the "Wind" sensor within a period which can be set (1 to 99 hours), it is 

assumed that the sensor is defective. The sunblind is moved up at those channels 

at which the wind monitoring function and the wind sensor test are activated. The 

following display is shown on the Wisotronic: 

Alert 

Wind sensor 

H! T H #T 

During this display the comfort functions are not activated. The local operating 

points do not have any function either. Take into account that sunblinds are no 

longer moved automatically during your absence (holiday, weekend, etc.). The 

setting range is from 1 - 99 hours. If a wind sensor test is not desired, you can 

also set the value "0" (---) here. The wind sensor test has to be reset 

manually. The procedure is described in Section 7.4. Proceed as follows in order
