Description

The present invention relates to the field of motorized occultation systems, such as blinds, awnings, shutters doors or the like, intended in particular to mask the light and / or to constitute a dam against intrusions.

Subsequently the movable element of these occultation systems will be called, whatever its constitution or function, by the generic term apron, without this expression can be considered as limiting.

More specifically, the present invention relates to the control means of such occultation systems.

the past, the occultation systems of the aforementioned kind, were manually operated, between their open or folded position and their closed or deployed position, or else the intermediate position chosen between them, for example at the help with manually operated gears.

However, to improve the comfort of users, it has been proposed for many years to motorize these occultation systems.

Thus most occultation systems installed today are driven by an electric motor or geared motor. More specifically, most of the systems installed today include a winding tube on which the apron of the occultation system is wound in its "open" or folded position, and an electrically controlled gear motor associated with the tube of winding.

occultation systems and their control means have given rise to abundant literature.

However, the means hitherto proposed do not always give satisfaction.

The present invention now aims to propose new ways to improve the comfort of users and / or installers.

Another important object of the present invention is to provide universal control means, whether in a version of the wired control type or radio control type, able to control any type of occultation system, including flap or banne.

Another important object of the present invention is to provide control means adapted for easy programming by any installer, suitable to allow easy adaptation of any site of use.

According to a first important aspect of the present invention, the aforementioned objects are achieved by means of a control device comprising a drive control circuit, the circuit comprising at least one input capable of being selectively placed in a programming mode state. by establishing a shunt between this input and another conductor, such as a power supply line, and means sensitive to the duration of this state to impose, according to this duration, a choice in a menu from among different predefined types programming.

In the context of the present invention, the term "programming" must here be understood in a broad sense, as encompassing in particular any definition of configuration, mode or function.

In the context of the present invention, the term shunt must be understood in a general sense. It encompasses any type of connection, in particular a direct link in the form of a short-circuit, a resistive link, a capacitive link, a unidirectional link with a diode, etc.

According to a first implementation, in the context of a wired application of the aforementioned circuit, the control device comprises at least two actuating means which, when respectively validated, solicit the occultation system, one towards its closed or deployed position, and the other towards its open or folded position, characterized in that it comprises means capable of imposing a programming mode of the control device when a simultaneous validation of the two actuating means is detected.

According to a second implementation, in the context of a radio control application of the above-mentioned circuit, the control device comprises a cable connected to the aforementioned circuit comprising at least two wires connected to one of a power supply line. another to an input of a controller, so that the connection of the two aforementioned son requires the passage of the control circuit in a programming mode.

According to a second important aspect of the present invention, the aforementioned objects are achieved by means of a control device comprising means for memorizing the two limit switches of the concealment system respectively corresponding to a closed position at an open position, characterized in that the memory means are adapted, after first memorizing a first limit switch, to memorize automatically as the second limit switch, the position from which the occultation system is moved, in a programming phase , before reaching said first previously memorized limit switch.

According to a third important aspect of the present invention, the aforementioned objects are achieved by means of a control device comprising means responsive to the duration of activation of biasing means to ensure different active functions depending on whether the activation time is shorter or greater than at least one determined threshold.

According to another advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the aforementioned different active functions correspond either to a displacement function of the occultation system or to a limit-of-travel memory function.

Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of non-limiting examples and in which - FIG. 1 represents a schematic view, in the form of functional blocks of a prior art concealment system control device, of the wired control type, - Figure 2 shows a schematic view in the form of functional blocks of a control device. Fig. 3 shows a schematic view, in the form of functional blocks of a concealment system control device, according to the present invention, of a blocking system according to the state of the art, of the radio control type; 4 shows a schematic view, in the form of functional blocks of an occultation system control device, in accordance with the present invention. In the present invention, the radio control type and FIGS. 5 to 8 show four truth tables illustrating the programming method implemented in the context of the present invention.

The known wired type system illustrated in the appended FIG. 1 comprises a control unit 10, a control board 20 and a motor 30.

The motor 30 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 comprises two windings 32, 34 whose common point 33 is connected to the neutral while the second ends of the windings 32, 34 are interconnected via a capacitor 36. Moreover, these second ends, in normal operation, are likely to be alternately connected to a phase line. Thus, depending on the winding 32 or 34 fed, the motor 30 drives the occultation system to its open position or its closed position.

The control box 10 illustrated in the figure comprises two control buttons 12, 14 able to control an inverter 16 with three electrical positions: a first position O in which neither of the two buttons 12, 14 is actuated, two output lines PHM and PHD of the housing 10 are in the air and the motor 30 is stopped, none of the two windings 32 34 being powered; a second position M in which the up button 12 is actuated, the inverter 16 placed on a position M and the output line PHM is connected to the phase to supply the winding 32 and the displacement of the occultation system towards its open position; and a third position D in which the descent button 14 is actuated, the inverter 16 is placed on a position D and the output line PHD is connected to the phase to supply the winding 34 and the displacement of the d occultation to its closed position. The control card 20 receives via a four-wire cable the output lines PHM and PHD of the housing 10 as well as the neutral line N and a ground line T. Its function is to connect the lines respectively. PHM and PHD output to the windings 32 and 34. The control card 20 conditions this connection according to the state of end-of-travel contacts 38, for example typically connected in series lines PHM and PHD, to interrupt the supply of windings 32, 34, when the occultation system reaches one of its authorized stroke ends.

FIG. 2 shows a known radio-controlled system comprising a fixed or portable housing 110, a control card for a motor 130.

The motor 130 typically comprises two coils 132, 134 which are connected to the neutral on a common point and, moreover, between them via the capacitor 136 as indicated previously for FIG.

The housing 110 typically comprises three keys 112, 114, 113, used respectively to cause the emission of a coded electromagnetic wave requesting the rise, fall or stop of the associated occultation system.

The card 20 comprises a receiver 122 designed to detect these waves, and according to the nature of the order thus received, supplying one of the windings 32, 134, from a phase line, or the stop this diet. To this end, in addition to the above-mentioned phase line, the card 120 receives a neutral line N, a ground line T and signals FC1 and FC2 representing end-of-travel signals.

As indicated above, the present invention can be applied either to a wired control system or to a radio controlled system.

We will first describe the wired control system according to the present invention illustrated in Figure 3 attached.

This figure shows a control unit 10 according to FIG. 1, and a motor 30 according to FIG. 1. The system illustrated in FIG. 3 further comprises a control card 20 comprising a controller 24. This controller receives on a four-wire cable lines PHM and PHD from the housing 10 and a neutral line N a ground line T. In addition, the controller 24 receives signals FC1 or FC2 representative of running.

In the context of the invention, the signals representative of the end of the race can be subject to many modalities. They can be obtained from mechanical limit switches actuated by the apron of the occultation system, or from a cell monitoring the intensity or the phase of the current and / or the voltage in coils 32, 34. However, , preferably in the context of the invention, signals FC1 and are generated from an angular encoder associated with the motor output shaft 30, for example from an optical encoder comprising an optically coded wheel (for example comprising an alternation of transparent and opaque segments or alternating reflective and non-reflective segments) associated with an optical detection range, or a coded wheel magnetically associated with an associated sensor, for example a Hall effect probe. By counting the pulses from the range or the sensor, the controller 24 can directly know the position of the apron of the occultation system, relative to arbitrary position known original.

The two buttons 12, 14 of the housing 10 constitute two actuating means, which when valid respectively, solicit the occultation system, one to its closed position, the other to its open position. As previously indicated, according to the invention, the controller 24 comprises means able to impose a programming mode of the control device, when they detect simultaneous validation of the two lines PHM and PHD.

In practice, such a simultaneous validation of the two lines PHM and PHD can be obtained, by an installer, by connecting the two lines PHM and PHD with each other, for example using a terminal block a jumper 18 provided specifically for this purpose inside the housing 10 and by soliciting one of the keys 12 or 14 to thereby connect the two output lines and PHD simultaneously to the phase.

It should be noted here, however, that the device according to the present invention works perfectly if the phase and neutral connections coming from the electrical distribution network are reversed, ie if the supply line corresponding to the phase is connected to the common point 33 of the coils, while the neutral line is then applied to the input of the housing 10 and therefore on the lines and to simplify the description, later when mention will be made of the validation of lines PHM and PHD, their preferred phase link will be reported.

It is however of course that it may be more generally a power supply line, phase or neutral, if adequate connections are otherwise complied with, or independently of such a power line electrical, any type of connection between the concerned lines PHM and PHD, in particular a direct connection in the form of a short-circuit, a resistive link, a capacitive link, a unidirectional link with a diode, etc.

The truth table illustrated in FIG. 5 is then obtained - when the two lines PHM and PHD are in the air at state 0, no winding 32, 34 is powered. The motor is stopped, when only the PHD line is activated in state 1, the winding is energized and the occultation system is moved to its deployed position, when only the line PHM is activated in the state 1, the winding is energized and the occulting system is moved to its folding position, and when both lines PHM and PHD are activated in the state, the controller 24 enters programming mode, but prohibits the simultaneous application of the phase voltage on the two coils 32, 34 to prevent damage to the motor 30. Thus device according to the present invention operates a state (simultaneous connection of the two lines PHM and PHD) which is prohibited according to the state of the art because it is according to it likely to damage the motor 30. More precisely still, as indicated above, in the context of the invention, the controller 24 is sensitive to the validation time s imultanée two actuating means PHM and PHD. As illustrated in FIG. 6, typically the controller 24 compares the duration of simultaneous activation of the two actuating means PHM and PHD at two time thresholds T1 and T2.

Typically but not exclusively, T1 and T2 may be of the order of 5 and 50s.

Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when the simultaneous link duration at the PHM phase is less than T1 (5s), the controller 24 preferably imposes a reset of the control circuit (the circuit then returns to a factory configuration. erases, in particular, any specific end-of-race previously memorized); when the duration of simultaneous bonding at the phase of PHM and PHD is greater than T1 and less than T2 (for example between 5 and 50 s, typically of the order of 30 s), the controller 24 imposes a first configuration, for example a banne configuration; when the duration of the simultaneous link with the PHM phase is greater than T2 (preferably greater than 50s), the controller 24 preferably imposes a second configuration, for example a roller shutter configuration (it is moreover preferably a return to the rolling shutter factory configuration).

In the context of the invention, the banne configuration differs from the rolling shutter configuration in that banne configuration is preferably forced to the extreme folding position to ensure storage of the banana cloth in a sealed box, while on the contrary, in the roller shutter position, it makes sure to stop the engine below the expected extreme positions.

In practice, the duration of activation of PHM and PHD lines is controlled, to select from the three aforementioned possibilities, reset, banne mode or roller shutter mode, by controlling the duration of operation of one of the keys 12 or 14 after connect the two PHM PHD wires together, for example using jumper 8.

It is recalled that a mechanical locking device prohibits the simultaneous activation of the two keys 12 and 14.

To set the end of the system, the procedure is preferably as follows. We distinguish three cases: 1) the case of two stops set automatically, 2) the case of an automatically adjusted stop and a manually set stop and 3) the case of two stops set manually.

In the case of two stops automatically adjusted, for example a roller shutter equipped with a high physical stop and a low physical stop, it actuates a first key, for example the uphill button 12. The apron stops on the upper stop and limit switch is set automatically. The high limit switch is memorized definitively after x stops, for example four stops, in its authorized stop range. To memorize the opposite stop, the other key is actuated, for example the down key 14. The apron stops on the low stop and the end of stroke is automatically adjusted. The end of the low stroke is permanently stored after stops, for example four stops, in its authorized stop range.

In the case of an automatically adjusted stop and a manually set stop, the button corresponding to the self-adjusting stop is activated. For example, in the case of a shutter equipped with a high physical stop, only the up key 12 is activated. The apron stops on this stop and the end of stroke is automatically adjusted. This is stored definitively after x stops, for example four stops, in its allowed stop range. By cons, to ensure the setting of the other limit switch, the lower end of the race according to the above example, it is not necessary to make stops thereon. Indeed, the controller 24 is adapted to memorize as the second limit switch the position from which the occultation system is moved before reaching the first previously stored limit switch. Thus, for example if the end of stroke in high stop has been set and memorized previously automatically, it suffices after reaching the end of the low run chosen, to operate the mounted key and let the deck run all the way to the end. high stop position previously memorized to memorize as the bottom end position the starting position of this displacement. In the case of two stops manually adjusted, a first stop is stored by adjusting the corresponding limit switch using up and down keys and then validating the storage of this position without moving the deck by a specific command keys, for example a sequence three successive rapid presses on the biasing key to this stop (ie three strokes of the key 12 mounted for the setting of the upper limit switch or conversely three rapid strokes of the down key 14 for memorizing a end of low run). Then, the second stop is memorized first by adjusting this end of stroke by using the up and down keys and once the desired end of stroke obtained by pressing the appropriate key, so that the apron reaches the end of the race previously stored . Again, as before, the position from which the occultation system is moved, before reaching the first previously stored limit switch, is stored as a second limit switch.

Note that to allow the aforementioned operation, the controller 24 is adapted to detect the duration of activation of the keys 12 and 14 and compare this duration at one or more thresholds to assign to said keys different functions depending on their duration. activation.

More precisely still, when the controller 24 detects the actuation of the up / down keys for a duration less than a threshold, for example 0.5s, it assigns to the key operation a programming command, without moving the apron. On the other hand, when the controller 24 detects the activation of a key for a time greater than this threshold, for example greater than one second, it assigns this key a command function when moving the apron. Moreover, in the context of the invention, the controller 24 is preferably adapted to ensure automatic readjustment of the limit switches for all Z actions, for example all 256 actions, except in the case where the two limit switches (high and low) are set manually.

The readjustment of the automatically adjusted limit switch takes place only in its authorized stopping range.

The readjustment of the manually adjusted limit switch takes place according to the position of the automatically adjusted limit switch and the length of the travel of the apron (in the context of the present invention, it is indeed considered that the height of the apron is constant).

We will now describe the radio control system according to the present invention illustrated in Figure 4 attached.

This figure shows a control box (stationary, for example wall-mounted, or portable) 110 able to transmit up / down / down control codes by radio waves, when three respective keys 112, 113 and 114 are actuated. , a motor 130 and a control card 120 comprising a means 122 for receiving orders received from the box 110, and which also receives phase signals (p, neutral N, earth T and limit switches FC1 and FC2 .

The exchanges between the transmitter 110 and the receiver 122 can be the subject of many embodiments. The transmitter 110 and the receiver 122 may be single channel, the discrimination between the different states resulting from specific codes. The transmitter 1 0 and the receiver 122 may be multichannel, each channel corresponding to a specific order. They can also involve a combination of multi-code and multi-channel technologies.

If necessary, the choice in a programming menu, between an initialization mode, first configuration for example banne and second configuration for example rolling shutter, could be obtained by detecting the duration of simultaneous activation of the two keys 112 and 114, so analogous to the arrangements previously described with reference to Figure 3.

However, in the context of the present invention, it is preferred, in order to avoid unintentional reprogramming, to ensure programming selection using specific means consisting of a cable C comprising at least two wires: one PH1 intended to be connected at the power supply side phase and the power supply card of the control circuit 120, and the other PH2 intended to be connected to a specific input of the controller 124. again it should be noted that the device works perfectly if the connections between neutral and phase are reversed.

In practice, the above-mentioned cable C which contains wires PH1 and PH2 also houses the N and T ground wires, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4 As illustrated in FIG. when the wire PH 1 is not powered by the phase, state 0, whatever the state of the wire PH2, the circuit 120 is not powered,. when the PH1 wire is only powered, PH1 to 1 and 0, the circuit 120 is powered, waiting for order from the housing 110, in normal operation, and. when the two wires PH1 and PH2 are connected simultaneously to the phase, state 1, the circuit 120 is placed in a programming mode.

comparable to the embodiment previously described in Figures 3, 5 and 6, it is therefore sufficient for an installer to connect the son and PH2, phase, at the accessible end of the cable C, to impose programming mode.

And the use of a cable C bringing together the two wires PH1 and PH2 makes it possible to deport the intervention site to control the programming mode in any suitable place, for example a power supply board, with respect to the trunk of the control system. occultation which houses the circuit 120 and its receiver 122. It should also be noted here that, in a manner comparable to the wire-controlled embodiment previously described, the device according to the present invention illustrated in FIG. the phase and the neutral coming from the electrical distribution network are reversed, ie if the supply line corresponding to the phase is connected on the common point 133 coils, while the neutral line is then applied on the line on the ends of the coils 132, 134 adjacent to the capacitor 36.

Moreover, the programming mode can be obtained by connecting PHI and PH2 lines to each other, independently of an electrical power supply line, via any type of connection between the lines concerned, in particular a direct connection in the form of a short-circuit a resistive link, a capacitive link, a unidirectional connection to a diode, etc ...

Therefore, the linkage to the phase used to simplify the description, should be considered as a preferential bond, but not limiting.

Moreover, again preferably, the controller 124 is sensitive to the connection time of the two PHI and PH2 son.

Typically, but not exclusively. for a link duration of PHI and PH2 less than a threshold, for example a link time of the order of 5s, the controller 124 goes into a reset mode, restoring the original cabling,. for a link duration of PHI and PH2 between two thresholds and T2, for example a link duration of the order of 30s, the controller 124 goes into a first configuration, for example a banne configuration, and. for a link duration of PHI and PH2 greater than a second threshold T2, for example a link time of the order of 60s, the controller goes into a second configuration, for example a rolling shutter configuration. It will be noted that, as illustrated in FIG. 7, in the context of the present invention, the controller 124 can be adapted to detect a link time between PH1 and PH2 greater than a third threshold, for example a link duration of the order 90s, to control a sequential operating mode. Once this sequential operating mode is reached, line PH2 can be disconnected from line PH1. And any subsequent pulse link between PH1 and PH2, causes the following alternating commands: rise <I> I </ I> stop / descent l stop <I> I </ I> rise <I> I </ I> stop / etc ...

Such a sequential operating mode can be used for example in case of deficiency of the control box 10.

In practice, the aforementioned impulse link between the wires PH1 and PH2 can be obtained by means of a pushbutton BP placed on the end of the cable C, or else by any means equivalent temporary connection, for example a simple cable section equipped with two crocodile clips.

Preferably access to the end of the wire PH2 push button BP, where it exists, is protected, for example by a key, to prevent inadvertent manipulation thereof and thus ensure their handling by a competent installer .

Moreover, during the sequential operation, the controller 124 preferably detects the duration of bonding of the PH2 wire to the phase, and compares this linkage duration with a threshold: above a threshold, for example for a link duration greater than ls, the controller 124 controls the aforementioned alternating sequence of rise stop / descent / stop / climb etc ..., while for a connection time less than the threshold, for example a link time less than 0.5s, the controller 124 likens the temporary link to the phase to a programming order likely to bring the control circuit 120 back to the previous default configuration. However, for security purposes this return to the default configuration is validated only after several brief links of PH2 to the phase, for example such links. In the context of the present invention, the housing 110 further comprises a switch with two positions 116. This is only accessible to the installer or an informed user, after opening the housing 110. It is used to modulate the codes issued by the box 110 to distinguish between a normal operating mode and a programming mode, for example on the following bases 116 switch in the first rest position: normal operating mode,. switch 116 in the second position: programming and setting mode of the limit switches,. pressing the stop key 114, then while maintaining it, placing the switch 116 in the second position: programming mode radio commands. In normal operation. pressing the up key 112 urges the apron to the rise and it stops at its end of high travel,. pressing the stop key 113 stops the apron as it moves, and. pressing the down key 114 urges the deck to the descent and it stops at its bottom end.

Preferably in the context of the present invention, the controller 124 additionally steers a stepwise movement, when one of the up or down keys 114 112 is requested while the stop key 113 is previously solicited and maintained in this position. Such a mode of operation step by step allows in particular a precise adjustment of the limit switches. The setting of the limit switches is carried out in a manner similar to the provisions previously described for wired control. The limit switches can be adjusted manually or automatically, depending on the equipment associated with the apron, independently of each other.

The automatic adjustment of a limit switch is effective after X successive stops, for example successive stops, in the same range. automatic readjustment of the end positions is carried out every Z actions, for example 256 actions, except in the case where the two limit switches (high and low) are set manually.

readjustment of the automatically adjusted limit switch takes place only within its permitted stop range.

readjustment of the manually adjusted limit switch takes place according to the position of the automatically adjusted limit switch and the length of the deck stroke.

 automatic recognition of the limit switches has priority over the manual recognition of the limit switches. For any readjustment on physical stop, that it comes cyclically (all the Z actions) that it is related to a shift due to the mechanics of the deck or to a counting error, a readjustment of the opposite stop will be made.

Moreover, we must distinguish here again the 3 cases 1) of 2 stops (physical) automatically set, 2) a stop (physical) automatically regulated and a stop (or position) set manually and 3) two stops (or positions ) set manually.

In the case of 2 automatically adjusted stops, for example a shutter equipped with a high physical stop and a low physical stop, the installer proceeds as follows. the switch 116 of the housing 110 is placed in normal mode,. the uphill button 112 is pressed, the apron stops at its top stop and the end of stroke is automatically adjusted (this high limit switch is memorized definitively after 4 stops in its authorized stopping range),. the down key 114 is pressed, the apron stops on its low stop and the end stroke is set automatically, (this end of low end memorized permanently after 4 stops in its authorized stop range).

In the case of an automatically adjusted stop and a manually adjusted stop, for example a roller shutter equipped with a high physical stop only, the installer proceeds as follows. the switch 116 of the housing 110 is placed in normal mode,. the upholstered key 112 is pressed, the apron stops on its high stop and the end of stroke is set automatically, (this high limit switch is memorized definitively after 4 stops in its authorized stop range), up keys 112 and down 114 are biased to adjust the desired end of the low end stop, and when it is reached. either the up key 112 is pressed until the apron reaches its previously memorized high end limit, this causes the automatic memorization of the starting low position as long as the lower end position,. either the switch 116 is placed in the race limit setting position, and pressing the down key 114 for a time greater than a threshold, for example of the order of 3s, causes the memorization of the low end of stroke thus obtained (Of course symmetrical way it is about the raised key 112 solicited during 3 s to memorize the high limit switch).

In the case of two manually adjusted stops, for example a roller shutter not equipped with a physical stop and in the event of a high limit switch set before the lower limit switch, the installer proceeds as follows. the switch 116 of the housing 110 is placed in normal mode,. the upstream 112 and down 114 keys are biased to adjust the desired high end limit stop, and when the latter is reached switch 116 is placed in the limit switch position, and pressing the up key 112 for a time greater than a threshold, for example of the order of 3s, leads to the memorization of the high end of the stroke thus obtained (obviously in a symmetrical manner it is the descent key 114 solicited for 3 s to memorize the end of the race low), switch 116 of the housing 110 is placed in normal mode,. the buttons up 112 and down 114 are biased to adjust the desired end of the bottom end stop, and when it is reached. either the up key 112 is pressed until the apron reaches its previously stored high end position, which causes the automatic memorization of the starting low position as a low end position,. either switch 116 is placed in the race limit setting position, pressing the down key 114 for a time greater than threshold, for example of the order of 3s, causes memorization of the low end of stroke thus obtained (obviously of symmetric way it is the raised key 112 solicited for 3 s to memorize the high limit switch).

To eliminate the limit switch settings, it suffices to place the switch 116 in the limit switch position and to press the stop key 113 for a time greater than a threshold, for example of the order of 3 seconds.

It should be noted that both in the wired control mode and in the case of the radio control mode, the system according to the present invention allows to mount indifferently the geared motor on one end or the other of the winding tube. It is provided for this means capable of reversing the direction of rotation of the motor, if necessary.

Preferably in the case of control over radio, the installer then proceeds as follows. the switch 116 is placed in limit switch mode, and. the stop key 113 is requested for a predetermined time, for example of the order of 1 s and while maintaining it, the up key 112 is solicited for a time greater than a threshold, for example of the order of 3s.

Note that in the case of wired control, it is sufficient for the installer to reverse the connection of the two PHM and PHD son output of the housing 10.

The programming mode of the radio commands is preferably adapted to selectively assign or reassign a basic radio control, an assignment of an additional radio control, the deletion of an additional radio control, or the deletion of a radio control. basic radio control and one or more radio control (s).

This programming mode makes it possible to match the radio commands 110 to the receiver 122, so that a transmitter 110 not recognized by the receiver 122 can not drive the circuit 120. This programming mode consists in having the transmitter block 110 recognized and the commands issued by the latter, by the receiver 122, according to a predefined learning sequence.

A control box 110 adapted to control a specific occultation system and radio control complementary to a control box 110 common to the control of several occultation systems is generally called a basic radio control.

To assign or reassign a basic radio command, preferably, the installer must request a key from the command within a certain period of time following a reset phase. For this purpose preferably the installer proceeds as follows. the switch 116 of this command is placed in the normal mode position,. the wires PH1 and PH2 are connected during 5s to operate reinitialization,. the circuit is then waiting for programming for 60s,. it is then sufficient to press the stop key 113, for example during They, to address a recognition frame to the receiver 122,. the programming mode is exited as soon as the frame is received.

To assign or delete an additional radio command, preferably the installer must first validate by placing the base command and the add-on command in a specific programming mode and must request a key from the complementary command within a certain period of time. following a specific validation operation of the basic command.

More precisely, preferably for assigning an additional radio control, the installer proceeds as follows. the basic radio control and the radio remote control are placed in the programming position radio commands,. the up key 112 of the basic radio control activated for 3s,. the circuit 120 is then waiting for programming for 60s, then simply press the stop button 113 of the additional radio control for example during They, to address a recognition frame to the receiver 122, programming mode is left as soon as this received frame .

To delete an additional radio control, the installer proceeds as follows with the basic radio control and the radio remote control are placed in the radio commands programming position. the down key 114 of the radio base station is activated for 3s,. the circuit 120 is then waiting for programming for 60s,. it is then sufficient to press the stop key 113 of the additional radio control for example during I s, to address a recognition frame to the receiver 122, programming mode is left as soon as this frame is received.

To remove the basic radio control and the additional radio control (s), the installer proceeds as follows: The basic radio control is placed in the radio commands programming position. the stop key 113 of the basic radio control is activated for 3s, circuit 120 is then waiting for programming for 60s in order to allow the reassignment of a basic radio control by receiving a new recognition frame if the user wishes, programming mode is left as soon as this received frame.
