1 INTRODUCTION

The control unit is designed for use with roller shutters and blinds. This product can control single-phase 230 Vac alternating current motors with a maximum power of 500W, equipped with electric limit switches. It is pre-wired.

This control unit contains a radio receiver for remote control via transmitters (CLARUS and B.RO) and for managing wireless KAIROS climatic sensors (light, wind, rain, and temperature), KAIROS DUO (light and wind), and AXEM (wind and inclination), all with radio frequency transmission at 433.92 MHz.

The control unit is designed to be compact, allowing installation inside the roller shutter boxes or externally (depending on orientation).

MicroCap 16 can control a motor with a maximum opening time of 2.5 minutes. The relays are activated by an "OPEN" or "CLOSE" command from the transmitter and are deactivated by pressing any key during movement. For example, if the shutter/blind is stopped by a limit switch, the control unit remains in the shutter opening state until it reaches 2.5 minutes. During this time, two "CLOSE" commands will be necessary to close the shutter (as it will pass through the STOP state).

2 INSTALLATION

For outdoor installation, it is essential to respect the orientation of the control unit. The correct installation is with the power and motor cables exiting from the bottom, as shown in the box.

3 CONFIGURATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

[Diagram showing electrical connections: MODULE RADIO, RELAIS 1, RELAIS 2, BUZZER, LEARNING BUTTON connected to the unit. Motor (M) connected to OUVRE/NOIR, FERME/MARRON, COMMUN/BLEU. GND/YELLOW AND GREEN connected.]

Note: The open/close functions depend on the motor's orientation. If opening corresponds to closing the shutter, the brown (close) and black (open) wires will need to be reversed.

4 PROGRAMMING A TRANSMITTER

4.1 Programming a transmitter via the control unit button

The unit can be controlled by all transmitters from the B.RO 2/4WN, B.RO WALL, and CLARUS series.

1. Press and release the learning button on the board; the unit emits 3 beeps.
2. Press a button on the transmitter to be memorized. The unit automatically memorizes all buttons and emits a long beep.
3. Release the transmitter button; the unit emits 4 beeps.

If no signal is transmitted within 15 seconds, the control unit automatically exits learning mode (4 beeps).

4.2 Programming with a memorized transmitter

Attention: Do not use the following procedure in the presence of multiple activated control units, as memory clearing would occur for all devices where the transmitter is memorized. In this case, disconnect the power to unaffected units.

1. Press and release the hidden button of a B.RO transmitter or transmit the menu option "M" of a CLARUS transmitter (*) already memorized; the control unit emits 3 beeps.
2. Press a button on the transmitter to be memorized. The unit automatically memorizes all buttons and emits a long beep.
3. Release the transmitter button; the unit emits 4 beeps.

If no signal is transmitted within 15 seconds, the control unit automatically exits learning mode (4 beeps).

(*) For CLARUS transmitter menu functions, refer to the product instructions.

5 CLIMATIC SENSORS

5.1 Programming a climatic sensor

1. Press and release the learning button on the board; the unit emits 3 beeps.
2. Press the button on the sensor; the unit emits a long beep.
3. Release the sensor button; the unit emits 4 beeps.

If no signal is transmitted within 15 seconds, the control unit automatically exits learning mode (4 beeps).

Once memorized, you can test the transmission by pressing the button on the sensor. The control unit emits an audible signal until the button is released.

NOTE: The control unit can learn only one radio sensor. Memorizing a second radio sensor will automatically delete the first one memorized.

5.2 Motor direction check during alarm

This procedure is necessary to verify the correct motor wiring, so that during an alarm the automation closes.

1. Using a transmitter, move the shutter/blind about halfway and stop it.
2. On the KAIROS sensor used, set the wind trimmer to minimum (TEST) and rotate the sensor blades at a constant speed for a few seconds. On the AXEM sensor used, shake the shutter until the sensor is triggered.
3. The unit in alarm will command the shutter/blind to re-close.

If the shutter/blind moves in the opening direction, disconnect power to the unit, reverse the motor cables (black and brown), and repeat the test. If the shutter/blind moves in the closing direction, wait for it to fully close. Press and release the sensor learning button. Follow the sensor instructions for adjustment.

5.3 Erasing a climatic sensor

1. Press and release the learning button on the board; the control unit emits 3 beeps.
2. Press the button of the already memorized sensor; the control unit emits two long beeps.
3. Release the sensor button; the unit emits 4 beeps.

If no signal is transmitted within 15 seconds, the control unit automatically exits learning mode (4 beeps).

5.4 AXEM sensor behavior

AXEM sensor alarms are deactivated during the control unit's operating time and for an additional 10 seconds. To cancel the waiting time and activate the sensor immediately, press the AXEM device's learning button.

5.5 Light sensor

The control unit is designed to open the shutter/blind upon the transition from Night to Day, and to close the shutter/blind upon the transition from Day to Night.

Additionally, automatic re-opening for light has been integrated, following any alarms (wind or disconnection).

It is possible at any time to disable the light sensor functionality and thus prevent automatic movement of the automation based on light variations. To disable the light sensor, proceed as follows:

1. Press and hold a button on an already learned transmitter (for at least 8 seconds). The control unit emits 2 beeps to indicate sensor deactivation or 3 beeps to indicate sensor reactivation.
2. Release the transmitter button.

5.6 Control unit behavior during alarms (wind, rain, snow, disconnection)

The presence of an alarm, in addition to instantly closing the shutter/blind, will lock the operation of the remote controls for:

• 2 minutes after the cessation of a rain alarm. The alarm condition is signaled by 3 beeps upon receiving a user command.
• 12 minutes after the cessation of a wind alarm. The alarm condition is signaled by 2 beeps upon receiving a user command.
• 30 minutes after the cessation of a snow alarm. The alarm condition is signaled by 5 beeps upon receiving a user command.

Snow detection (snow alarm) occurs differently depending on the type of sensor used:

• Mains-powered sensor (KAIROS): presence of rain with temperatures below 4°C (sensor with heating).
• Photovoltaic-powered sensor (KAIROS SA): detection of temperature below 2°C only, regardless of rain (sensor without heating).
• AXEM sensor: shutter inclination greater than 2º compared to the memorized position.

If radio communication between the sensor and the control unit is absent for more than 4 minutes, the control unit will completely close the shutter and remain in the disconnection alarm state until the sensor reconnects. The alarm condition is indicated by 4 beeps upon receiving a user command.

During an alarm state, radio learning is possible, but movements cannot be performed until the unit exits the alarm state. The control unit signals the alarm state upon receiving a user command.

6 RESET

1. Press and hold the learning button. After 7 seconds, the unit emits a continuous beep.
2. Release the learning button; the control unit emits 5 beeps.

All transmitters have been erased, and settings have been restored to factory defaults.
