2. PROGRAMMING
Before the unit can be used it has to be told what the window height is. This means it needs
to know how long it takes to travel from fully open to fully closed. It also needs to know
where the current position of the blind is - whether fully up or down or at some intermediate
position. To enter this data into the unit and also to set in the X-10 address the unit must be
put into Install Mode.
To enter Install Mode:
Press the UP key. The blind will travel up until it reaches the top end stop. Continue to press
the key and 5 seconds after reaching the fully up position it will enter Install Mode. At this
point it will tell the user that Install mode is active by making the blind travel down for 1
second before driving back up to the fully up position. The key can now be released.
The module now thinks it is at the top end stop, but physically this may not be true. The
window blind itself may be only partially up because the mechanism has not yet been aligned
to the electronics. If this is the case just continue to press the UP KEY until the blind also
reaches it's top end stop. The blind mechanism and the electronics are now aligned and the
key can be released.
To enter the window size:
Press the Down key to send the blind down and release it when the bottom end stop is
reached. You can either give a short key press to start the blind going down and another
short key press to stop it at the bottom or you can press and hold the key until the blind
is fully down and then release it. At this point the unit has timed how long it took to go
from fully up to fully down and recorded this as the window size. It has also set the current
position to be fully down, so it's important not to press the UP key again before leaving Install
Mode.
To enter the Marmitek X-10 address:
Before leaving Install you have to set in the unit's address. To do this you just send the X-10
message 'ADDRESS ON' or 'ADDRESS OFF' twice on your chosen House Code (using any
Marmitek X-10 controller - i.e.: TM13 + RF remote control). Do not mix up 'ON's and 'OFF's.
To be accepted, both messages must be exactly the same.
To return to RUN mode:
Press the Down Key. The blind will drive UP initially for 2 seconds before returning to the fully
down position to indicate it has left Install Mode. The unit will also return to RUN mode if no
keys are pressed for 1 minute.
