GENERAL PROGRAMMING
WARNINGS
The programming of Free-Max is divided into two distinct instances as follows:
• PROGRAMMING OF STANDARD OPERATIONS comprises:
– the memorisation of the first transmitter on Free-Max;
– the memorisation of the roller shutter/awning limit switch positions "0" and
"1".
• PROGRAMMING OF THE OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS comprises:
– the activation of the optional functions or their deactivation if previously
activated.
CAUTION!
The following warnings must be taken into consideration before
performing any programming operation:
– All programming procedures can only be made if a transmitter has
been previously memorised on Free-Max.
– All programming procedures can only be performed if a transmitter has
been previously memorised in "MODE 1", following one of the proce-
dures described in paragraphs 4.2, 15.1 and 15.2 .
– All programming sequences must be carried out following the indicated
time limits.
– With transmitters controlling different groups of automations (Groups),
the "Group" which the receiver belongs to must be selected before
sending the memorisation command (Note – This is only possible if the
said Transmitter has been memorised in Mode 1).
– Remote programming can be performed simultaneously on all receivers
that are within the Transmitter's operating range while a procedure is
being performed. Therefore before starting any programming, the
receivers that are NOT concerned with the operation should be discon-
nected from the power supply.
SIGNALS MADE BY THE MOTOR
DURING PROGRAMMING
Caution! – The motor performs a number of
short motions during the programming proce-
dure following each instruction that the installer
sends to Free-Max, via the transmitter. There are
3 types of motion based on their duration:
– VIBRATION
– SHORT MOTION
– LONG MOTION
The meaning of these motions is as follows:
• VIBRATION: is a very rapid motion that the motor normally performs
at the start of a procedure, indicating that Free-Max is ready for Pro-
gramming, such as the activation/deactivation of an option or the mem-
orisation of a value.
• SHORT MOTION: lasts for about 0.15 seconds and is normally per-
formed by the motor during the intermediate phase of a procedure, indi-
cating that Programming has not finished yet.
• LONG MOTION: lasts for about 0.3 seconds and is normally per-
formed by the motor at the end of a procedure, indicating that Program-
ming has been successfully concluded.
CAUTION!
– The motion direction (up or down) is not important, instead the
NUMBER of motions is important.
For example – 1 forward motion and 1 backward motion corre-
spond to 2 motions.
