4.2. Programming / Pairing with Motorized Device
The programming procedure may vary slightly depending on the specific motorized roller shutter or blind system you are using. Always refer to the instruction manual of your motorized device for detailed pairing instructions. Below is a general guide:
- Prepare the Motorized Device: Put your motorized roller shutter or blind into programming mode. This usually involves pressing a small button on the motor unit or control panel for a few seconds. The motor may respond with a jog (brief movement) or an indicator light.
- Activate the Remote: Within a short timeframe (often 5-10 seconds) after the motor enters programming mode, press and hold the designated programming button on your Dieffematic TM2 SKIPPER remote control. This button is typically a small, recessed button, or it might be a combination of main buttons.
- Confirmation: The motorized device should respond with another jog or a change in its indicator light, confirming that the remote control has been successfully paired.
- Test Operation: Once paired, test the remote control by pressing the UP, STOP, and DOWN buttons to ensure the roller shutter or blind responds correctly.
If you are replacing an old remote, you might need to first delete the old remote's code from the motor's memory before programming the new one. Consult your motor's manual for this procedure.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the remote control is paired with your motorized device, operation is straightforward:
- UP Button: Press to raise the roller shutter or blind.
- DOWN Button: Press to lower the roller shutter or blind.
- STOP Button: Press to stop the roller shutter or blind at its current position.
Ensure you are within the effective operating range (100-150 meters outdoors) and that there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
