5.3. Pairing with a Wireless Control Element
After the module is physically installed and wired, it must be paired with a separate Schellenberg wireless control element (e.g., a wireless transmitter or timer). Follow the specific pairing instructions provided with your Schellenberg wireless control device to establish communication with the receiver module. This process typically involves a sequence of button presses on both the module and the control device.
6. Operating Instructions
Once successfully paired, your roller shutters, Roman blinds, or awnings can be controlled wirelessly using the paired Schellenberg radio transmitter or timer.
- Open/Close: Use the designated buttons on your wireless control element to fully open or close the connected motor.
- Stop: Press the stop button to halt the motor at any desired position.
- Direction Change: For certain applications, the direction of motor rotation can be changed via the wireless control. Refer to your control device's manual for specific instructions.
- Slat Adjustment (Roman Blinds): Precision adjustment of Roman blind slats may be possible depending on your wireless control element.
Consult the instruction manual of your specific Schellenberg wireless transmitter or timer for detailed operating procedures and advanced functions.
7. Maintenance
The Schellenberg 20018 Wireless Receiver Module requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the module with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any visible damage to the module or its wiring. If damage is observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified technician.
- Ensure the module remains protected from moisture and dust, especially if installed in an outdoor environment without an appropriate IP-rated enclosure.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Schellenberg 20018 Wireless Receiver Module, consider the following:
- Module Not Responding:
- Check if the module is receiving power.
- Verify that the wireless control element (transmitter/timer) has functional batteries and is within range.

- Motor Not Operating:
- Ensure all wiring connections to the motor and power supply are secure and correct.
- Check the motor itself for any issues (refer to the motor's instruction manual).
