Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Gently slide or unclip the cover to open it.
- Insert the required batteries (type and quantity typically specified inside the compartment) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery compartment cover until it clicks securely into place.
2. Initial Pairing with io-homecontrol Devices
To control your io-homecontrol devices, the remote must be paired. The exact pairing procedure may vary depending on the specific device you are connecting to. Generally, the steps involve:
- Ensure your io-homecontrol device (e.g., motor for blinds) is in pairing mode. Refer to the device's specific manual for instructions on how to activate pairing mode.
- On the Situo 5 remote, press and hold the 'PROG' button (usually a small button on the back or side, not visible in the main image) until the device responds or indicates successful pairing.
- Test the remote's functionality with the paired device.
Operating Instructions
Basic Control Buttons
- Up Arrow Button: Press to raise or open your connected device (e.g., raise blinds, open shutters).
- Down Arrow Button: Press to lower or close your connected device (e.g., lower blinds, close shutters).
- 'My' Button (Central): This button serves as a 'Stop' function during movement and can be programmed to recall a favorite or 'my' position. Press briefly during movement to stop. Press and hold to set a 'my' position (refer to specific device instructions for programming).
Variator Function
The 'Variat.' in the product name suggests a variator function, which typically allows for precise, incremental adjustment of the device's position or angle. This is often achieved by a short press for small adjustments or a longer press for continuous movement, or through a dedicated scroll wheel/button not explicitly detailed in the provided image but implied by the name. Consult your device's specific manual for detailed variator operation.
Automatic/Manual (A/M) Mode Selection
The 'Auto' and 'Manu' switch allows you to toggle between automatic and manual control modes. In 'Auto' mode, the device may respond to programmed schedules or sensors. In 'Manu' mode, the device will only respond to direct commands from the remote control. Select the desired mode by sliding the switch.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, it may be time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the 'Setup' section.
Troubleshooting
- Device not responding: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Ensure the remote is within range of the io-homecontrol device. Verify that the device is not in a locked or manual override state.
- Limited range: Replace batteries. Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the controlled device.
- Incorrect operation: Re-check pairing instructions for your specific io-homecontrol device. Ensure the remote is in the correct 'Auto' or 'Manu' mode.
