Remote Control – DIY Motorised Louvred Roof System
Motor control is the ability of the nervous system to coordinate and direct muscles in the execution of movements. The complex process involves the integration of sensory information and the generation of motor commands to achieve smooth, accurate, and purposeful movements.
Remote Control Information
The remote control has 6 channels and 3 operating buttons, as indicated by the red LEDs across the top. Select the required channels using the left/right round buttons under the LEDs.
The Remote is Configured as Follows
Channel 1 (1st LED) controls all roofs together.
Channel 2 (2nd LED) controls the first motor.
Channel 3 (3rd LED) controls the second motor, and so on
Rain Sensor Functionality
After a rain alarm, the controller in your Vivid louvred pergola is set to “rain drain” mode for 6 hours. That means at the first pre-set command, the roof will only open to the first position to allow any rain to run off into the gutters and drain away. It will stay there for 4 minutes. After that, the system reverts back to normal operation. To exit the rain drain mode at any time, simply use the hold-to-run buttons.
A sensor changes your custom pergola roof from one that opens and closes, to one that operates automatically.
From time to time your DIY Vivid roof will operate for no apparent reason—that is normal, and is the system running through a se-quence, a bit like someone stretching their muscles.
The RAIN102 is a capacitive rain sensor. It has a sensor plate that issues a “rain alarm” to the controller, triggering the louvred roof to close, protecting you and your belongings underneath.
Once the sensor has returned to normal for a minimum of 20 seconds, the rain alarm is cancelled.
The roof will not open automatically.
Deactivating the Rain Sensor (Not Recommended)
Press and hold the STOP button on the remote for more than 10 seconds. The control unit will emit 2 short beeps to signal the unit is deactivated or a continuous beep (for 4 seconds) when it is activated.
The rain sensor will re-activate automatically after 1 hour.
Note there is no response from the remote control, only the control unit, which is located outside in a discrete location.
