Proxima M Control Unit for Rolling Shutters
User manual for the Proxima M control unit, a device designed to manage the operation of shutters and blinds.
1. Introduction
The Proxima M control unit is a device capable of managing the operation of shutters and blinds. It features an integrated radio receiver for radio-controlled operation using B.RO (Fig. 1) and CLARUS (Fig. 2) transmitters. The unit is designed with compact dimensions for easy installation within shutter boxes, close to the motor. It is powered by 230 Vac mains supply and controls the motor via three wires, supporting a maximum power of 350 W with internal limit switches. Two push-buttons can be connected for open/close functions.
2. Configuration
The control unit features a radio module, a learning button, and configuration jumpers.
3. Electrical Connections
Diagrams illustrate the front view connections, including terminals for 230 Vac, motor (Open, Close, Common), and buzzer, as well as connections for push-buttons and radio transmitters.
4. Learning Transmitters
4.1 Learning the First Transmitter
Upon power-up, the Proxima M unit automatically enters learning mode, awaiting a command from a transmitter. Once a command is received, the unit memorizes the transmitter's channel and exits learning mode. A subsequent power-up will result in two beeps (if a buzzer is present) indicating that at least one channel has been memorized.
4.2 Learning with the Control Unit's Learning Button
To learn a transmitter using the unit's learning button:
- Press the learning button on the control unit. The unit will emit a series of beeps (if a buzzer is present).
- Press the 'a' or 'a1' button on the transmitter to be registered. The control unit will automatically memorize the 'b' or 'b1' button and the 'c' button for the CLARUS series ('a' or 'a1' for open, 'b' or 'b1' for close, and 'c' for STOP). Successful memorization is indicated by two prolonged beeps (if a buzzer is present) for a new channel, or one beep for an already learned channel. The unit then returns to normal operation. If no code is transmitted within ten seconds, the unit will automatically exit learning mode.
4.3 Learning Additional Transmitters with a Learned Transmitter
- Memory Access: To access the memory with a transmitter, refer to the specific transmitter's instructions. Upon accessing the memory, the unit will emit a series of beeps (if a buzzer is present) to signal entry into learning mode.
- Transmitter Registration: Press the 'a' or 'a1' button on the transmitter to be registered. The control unit will automatically memorize the 'b' or 'b1' button and the 'c' button for the CLARUS series ('a' or 'a1' for open, 'b' or 'b1' for close, and 'c' for STOP). Once the buttons are registered, the control unit returns to normal operation. If no code is transmitted within ten seconds, the unit will automatically exit learning mode.
4.4 Clearing a Transmitter from the Control Unit's Memory
Clearing B.RO Series Transmitter
- Press the hidden 'e' button on an already learned remote control to put the control unit into learning mode. The unit will emit a series of beeps (if a buzzer is present) to indicate entry into learning mode. This operation is equivalent to pressing the learning button but without opening the shutter casing.
- Simultaneously press and hold the hidden 'e' button and the registered button of the transmitter to be cleared (e.g., 'e' + 'a' or 'e' + 'a1'). The clearing process is signaled by 4 prolonged beeps (if a buzzer is present). The unit then returns to normal operation.
Clearing CLARUS Series Transmitter
To clear a channel or the entire remote control, access the remote control's internal menu. Refer to the remote control's instructions for details.
Attention: Avoid using this procedure when multiple control units are active, as it may affect all devices or memorized channels. If necessary, disconnect the unintended control units.
4.5 Clearing the Entire Control Unit Memory
- Disconnect the power supply to the control unit.
- While holding down the learning button, reconnect the control unit's power supply. The unit will emit a continuous beep for 3 seconds (if a buzzer is present). When the signal stops, the reset is complete, and the learning button can be released.
After this operation, the unit will emit a series of rapid and then slower beeps (if a buzzer is present) to indicate that the memory is empty. The unit will then automatically enter learning mode, awaiting a command from a transmitter.
5. Advanced Configuration: Jumper Settings
The control unit may feature jumpers (J1, J2) for advanced configuration. The legend indicates the state of the jumpers (open or closed).
Transmitters:
- Brief press of Open/Close buttons: Activates a brief movement for opening/closing, suitable for Venetian blinds.
- Prolonged press of Open/Close buttons: Initiates a full opening/closing movement of the rolling shutter. To stop the automation at the desired position, press the STOP button or the button corresponding to the opposite direction of operation.
Open/Close Buttons Connected by Cable:
The operation is similar to the remote control buttons, with step-by-step adjustment useful for Venetian blinds. A prolonged press of the Open button activates opening. A subsequent press of the same button stops the opening. Pressing the Close button reverses the direction of movement (closing). The operation is the same for the other button.
Transmitters (J1, J2 configuration):
- J1 Open, J2 Open: Disabled.
- J1 Closed, J2 Open: Wall buttons connected by cable function when the user is present, meaning the rolling shutter moves up/down only while the buttons are pressed. Releasing the buttons stops the rolling shutter.
- J1 Open, J2 Closed: Transmitters: Pressing the Open button fully opens the rolling shutter. A second press of the same button does not block the shutter. To stop the movement, press the STOP button or the button for the opposite movement (Close). To close, press the Close button again. The operation is the same for the other button.
- J1 Closed, J2 Closed: Wall buttons connected by cable: The operation is similar to that of the remote control.
Transmitters (Jumper configuration):
- One-touch step-by-step operation: The first press of a button initiates opening, the second stops the shutter, and the third closes it. In this mode, only one button is memorized per transmitter. NB: In this mode, the control unit is operated by only one button of the transmitter, specifically button 'a'. Button 'b' will have no effect, while button 'c' maintains the STOP function.
Wall buttons connected by cable:
- Impulse operation with 2 buttons (open, stop, open, stop...): The first press of the 'Open' button starts the opening, the second press stops it, and the third restarts it. The same applies to closing, using the corresponding 'Close' button.
