3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Battery Installation
The control pad requires three AA batteries for operation. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries. Refer to the battery compartment markings for guidance.
3.2 Initial Pairing and Synchronization
Upon first use or after replacing the control pad, it may be necessary to pair and synchronize it with your VELUX skylights and blinds. Follow the on-screen prompts or refer to the specific instructions provided with your VELUX skylight or blind for the synchronization process. This typically involves a reset procedure on the skylight/blind unit and then initiating a pairing sequence on the control pad.
4. Operating Instructions

The control pad features a touch-sensitive screen. Tap icons and menu items to navigate. Use the back arrow icon (if present) to return to previous screens.
4.2 Individual Device Control
From the main screen, select the specific skylight or blind you wish to operate. Use the on-screen controls to open, close, or adjust the position of the selected device.
4.3 Group Control
The control pad allows you to group multiple skylights and blinds together for simultaneous operation. Consult the on-screen menu for creating and managing groups.
4.4 Creating and Managing Programs
The "Programs" menu (as shown in Figure 1) allows you to set up automated actions. You can create programs based on:
- Time of Day: Schedule operations at specific times.
- Day of Week: Set different schedules for weekdays and weekends.
- Month of Year: Adjust programs seasonally.
Predefined programs include "Automatic closing" (e.g., after a set open duration), "Leaving home" (e.g., close all devices), "Good Morning" (e.g., open blinds), "Good night" (e.g., close blinds), "Indoor climate" (e.g., adjust based on temperature/humidity if sensors are integrated), and "Ventilation" (e.g., open skylights for air exchange).
5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Replacement
When the battery indicator appears on the screen or the control pad becomes unresponsive, replace the three AA batteries. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for optimal performance. Ensure the control pad is powered off before replacing batteries.
5.2 Cleaning
Clean the screen and casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays, as these may damage the surface or internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Control Pad Unresponsive or Screen Issues
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
