3. Motor Calibration
Before using percentage control, it is crucial to calibrate the motor's full travel time:
- Manually measure the exact time it takes for your roller shutter to go from fully closed to fully open, and vice-versa.
- Enter this measured time into the Maxcio app settings for the device. This allows the module to accurately calculate percentage positions.
Operating Instructions
1. App Control
Open the Maxcio app on your smartphone. Select your roller shutter module. You can then:
- Tap to open or close the roller shutter completely.
- Use the percentage slider to set the roller shutter to a specific position (e.g., 50% open).
- If the motor direction is inverted, use the "Motor Direction" function within the app settings to correct it.
