WAREMA EWFS Operating instructions

Brand: WAREMA

Model: EWFS

Type: Operating instructions

WAREMA EWFS lets you wirelessly control your sun shading system and lighting with a handheld transmitter. Aside from raising and lowering sun shading, it can also be used to save preferred positions and recall them. Multiple transmitters can be learned into a single receiver, allowing multiple users to control the system or creating groups for automated control.

Operation

NOTE: Operation of the sun shading system or lighting

equipment via the receiver is not possible until

learning has been carried out successfully at the

transmitter! The learning process is described in the

user instructions of the receiver. You can addition-

ally obtain the "EWFS Application brochure" with

numerous implementation examples of "learning"

and the forming of groups free of charge from your

specialist dealer. The brochure can alternatively be

downloaded from the address: http://www.warema.

cial functions are additionally possible in WAREMA

Channel change at an 8-channel hand-held

transmitter

n Press one of the "CHANNEL" buttons (Fig. 2) repeat-

edly until the desired channel is selected. This is in-

dicated by the channel LEDs lighting up. Then press

the "UP" or "DOWN" button in order to operate the sun

shading system or press one of the function buttons in

order to trigger the desired function. When the button

is pressed the LED of the set channel and the trans-

mission LED lights up.

Operation of the hand-held transmitter:

n After an "UP" or "DOWN" button has been pressed,

the transmission LED lights up brieﬂy and the sun pro-

tection system travels in the corresponding direction.

Stopping is eﬀected either by pressing the opposite

button or the stop button.

n If your receiver controls a lamp, you have to switch it

on and oﬀ using the "B" button. Please read the operat-

ing instructions of the receiver for more information.

n If you use several channels, label the enclosed label in

accordance with the learned channels and stick it into

the recess on the rear of the hand-held transmitter.

Symbols used

When the receiver is delivered, it does not "know" any

transmitters initially and therefore must first learn which

transmitters it should respond to. We refer to this process

as "learning-in".

Explanation of symbols:

Power-up: In order to learn in a transmitter, you

must de-energise a receiver or a group of receiv-

ers, either at the upstream in-line circuit breaker

or at the corresponding plug-in connector, and

then energise it again after approx. 5 seconds.

(Power-up procedure.) Always perform a power-up

procedure when you see the in-line circuit breaker

symbol.

Here, the receiver is in the learn mode for approx.

one minute. The learn button on the transmitter

must be pressed during this time interval or the

receiver will exit the learn mode. Press the learn

button on your transmitter whenever you see the

learn button symbol.

Wave: After you press the learn button on the

transmitter, the connected sun shading system

carries out several movements in a waving motion.

In these instructions, we use the adjacent symbol

to denote waving. Single wave: Press the learn

button on the transmitter, wait until the connected

sun shading system moves, and then release the

button immediately.

Learning in a master channel

In this section, a channel will be learned into a receiver

(shown using the example of an EWFS Plug receiver).

When you perform a power-up procedure on the receiver,

the receiver learns in the first channel it receives as the

master channel:

= master channel

Fig. 5 The receiver does not "know" any channels yet (left).

A new channel is learned in and becomes the master

channel (right).

 Perform the steps below in the order shown:

Put receiver in learn mode:

Perform the power-up proce-

dure on the receiver.

Learn in master channel: On

the hand-held transmitter,

press and hold the learn but-

ton. When the sun shading

system waves once, release

the button.

Receiver automatically

exits learn mode. The hand-

held transmitter is now the

master channel on the recei-

ver.

Result: The receiver now knows a master channel.

OTEN All channels learned into the receiver after the

first channel are learned as auxiliary channels.

If the receiver already knows a master channel,

the power must not be cut off to enter the learn

mode again for the auxiliary channels, since

this master channel must be used to start the

learn mode.

Learning in an auxiliary channel

Now an auxiliary channel will also be learned into the

receiver. Auxiliary channels can be used for the following

purposes:

 To allow multiple people to operate the sun shading system

with their own wall-mounted or hand-held transmitters.

 To enable operation of the sun shading system using diﬀer-

ent transmitters, e.g. manual operation with a wall-mounted

or hand-held transmitter, automatic control mode with a time

switch.

 An important feature of auxiliary channels is that they can be

used to build groups.

ΙΙ

= master channel = auxiliary channel

Fig. 6 Operating a receiver with a master channel (I) and

auxiliary channel (II). To enter the learn mode, use the

hand-held or wall-mounted transmitter on the master

channel.

 Perform the steps below in the order shown:

Put receiver in learn mode:

On the hand-held or wall-

mounted transmitter that was

just used to learn in the mas-

ter channel (I), press and

hold the learn button. When

the sun shading system

waves once, release the but-

ton.

Learn in wall-mounted

transmitter (II) as an auxil-

iary channel: Using the

hand-held transmitter (II),

press and hold the learn but-

ton. When the sun shading

system waves once, release

the button.

Exit learn mode: Using the

hand-held or wall-mounted

transmitter on the master

channel (I), press the UP or

DOWN button. When the sun

shading system moves, the

learn mode is no longer ac-

tive.

Result: The sun shading system can now be operated

using both hand-held transmitters (or one wall-

mounted and one hand-held transmitter. The

hand-held transmitter (II) is the auxiliary chan-

nel.

OTEN Only the receiver is capable of learning, not the

transmitter. Learning in auxiliary channels is the

first step to building groups. When you wish to

learn in an auxiliary channel, do not perform

the power-up procedure, as you will need to

start the learn mode using the master channel.

OTEN An auxiliary channel can be a 1-channel trans-

mitter, one channel of an 8-channel transmitter, a

channel of the EWFS Timer or a weather station.

OTEN IMPORTANT! A receiver can manage one

master channel and up to 15 additional auxiliary

channels, for a total of 16 different channels.

Any attempt to learn in a greater number of

channels will fail.

OTEN For learning transmitters into other products,

as well as additional information on the topic

of learning-in, please refer to the operating and

installation instructions for the receivers.

Maintenance and cleaning

Replacing the batteries

The batteries are low if the transmission LED flashes when

a move command is triggered, does not light up at all or if

there is no reaction to the triggered move commands.

n In order to replace the batteries (type AAA, IEC LR03,

"Micro"), open the battery compartment (Fig.3), remove

the low batteries and insert new ones. Ensure the cor-

rect polarity: The plus (+) and minus (-) poles of the

batteries must agree with the marks in the battery com-

partment.

n Only use new batteries of the same type and always

replace both batteries. Use high-quality batteries - in-

expensive batteries can leak and damage the device.

If the device is not used for a longer period, please

remove the batteries. Do not use storage batteries (re-

chargeable batteries)!

Cleaning:

Clean the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use

any scouring agents, solvents or steam cleaners!

Liability

Failure to comply with the product information in these

instructions and use of the device in a manner that con-

travenes its intended use and purpose may result in the

manufacture refusing to honour warranty claims for prod-

uct damage. In this case, liability for consequential harm

to persons or damage to property will also be excluded.

Follow also the instructions in the operating manual of

your sun shading system. The automatic or manual opera-

tion of the sun shading system when iced over as well as

using the sun shading system during severe weather may

cause damages and must be prevented by the user by

taking suitable precautions.

NOTE

: The device meets the requirements on interfer-

ence resistance and interference emission for

use in residential and commercial areas..
