1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The ERA TIME is a radio transmitter for awning and shutter control systems. Along
with normal manual operation, it also has an automatic control feature which can be
controlled by the user to suit his requirements. Any use other than that described
is to be considered improper and prohibited!
VERY IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY!
• The transmitter is equipped with 6 independent transmission channels. Mem-
orising a transmitter in an automated system also includes the association of the
automated system to one or more of these channels. In general, one or more auto-
mated systems can be associated to the same channel. So, this operational prac-
tice creates various automated system groups (maximum of 6 groups), each
represented by a channel.
• The groups are formed when the unit is memorized in the automation: you are
prompted to select the group to which the automation is to be mapped during the
procedure.
• This group-based approach means that the transmitter must be used in a par-
ticular way, as follows:
a) - before sending a command, you must first select one or more groups
to which to send it;
b) - a command sent to a given group actuates all automations included in
the group and makes them all complete the same manoeuvre at the same
time.
• The transmitter can control a group at a time, or several groups together, com-
bined into a multiple group.
• The transmitter can be operated in manual, automatic or program mode.
– In manual mode, the user manually selects the groups and sends them com-
mands.

– In automatic mode, the transmitter controls the groups in response to an event
programmed by the user.
– Programming mode enables the user to program, modify, copy and cancel
events; he can also set the date and time as well as other parameters used by the
transmitter in automatic mode.
• What is an "event"? An event is the automatic transmission, by the transmitter,
of an actuation command (open/close shutter, awning, etc.), at a given time of day,
one or more days a week, as decided and programmed by the user. For example,
an event could be opening the shutters at 8:37 on Saturday and Sunday; another
could be raising the awnings at 18:50 every day of the week.
• Normally, when a programmed event occurs in automatic mode, the transmitter
sends a simple open or close command to the groups in question. However, it is
possible to associate special functions with these commands, to effect the pro-
grammed events in a particular way. The following functions are available:
– Sensor ON/OFF: this function can only be programmed and used if there are
climate sensors connected to the automated systems you wish to command. The
function has three options: "ON" allows you to activate reception (by the automat-
ed systems) of the commands from the climate sensors; "OFF" allows you to de-
activate reception (by the automated systems) of the commands from the climate
sensors; "flashing ON and OFF" allows you to ignore the presence of climate
sensors within the automation system. The desired option can be programmed
using Procedure 6 within each event (in such cases, each event automatically
performs the programmed option – see the example in the following figure), or con-
versely, each option can be set manually by the user at any time (see paragraph G,
in section 9).
