Characteristics The solar protection actuators are used to control blinds, roller shutters, sliding shutters, ex- ternal blinds, awnings or ventilation flap drives with DC 24 V. They are used in building auto- mation. Device control is conducted via KNX. Through the selection of various operating modes such as manual and automatic mode, solar protection is controlled both locally and centrally.

The stored default settings of the positions can also be changed without programming the device via KNX. To do this, the blinds must be moved to the desired element height. This new position with the value “0” and “1” is copied to the memory of the device via the commu- nication objects “position 1/2”...
