that assures complete disconnection in the conditions of overvoltage category III.
Other warnings
• Make sure that the surface of the sensor is as clean as possible and is not obstructed by leaves, snow or other matter.
Clean the surface using a soft cloth avoiding the use of substances containing alcohol, benzene, solvents or similar
products.
• Handle the product with care, being sure not to crush, knock or drop it in order to avoid damage.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance of current local legislation governing waste dis-
posal.
1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
This product is part of the SKIROSOL series of climatic sensors. It is equipped with a built-in radio transmitter with TTS
encoding and requires a mains electrical power supply. SKIROSOL is designed for systems used to automate sun awn-
ings, shutters, skylights and similar, which use STOBAG control units and tubular motors with "TTS" radio encoding.
Any other use is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited! STOBAG declines all liability for damage
resulting from improper use of the product and other than as specified in this manual.
Product operation is based on real-time readings of variations in wind speed (*) or sunlight intensity and the presence of
rain or snow. When the value read by the climatic sensors exceeds (or falls below) the activation threshold set by the
installer, SKIROSOL transmits a radio signal to the automation receiver, which in turn activates an Up or Down manoeu-
vre, depending on the type of signal received (above or below the threshold). Up to 3 SKIROSOL devices can be installed
on one automation, enabling data acquisition at different points of the environment.
CAUTION! – STOBAG declines all liability for material damage caused by atmospheric agents not detected by
the device sensors.
(*) Note – This function is present only in model SKIROSOL SRCK 630.
2 – PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS AND PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
• Read the technical specifications provided in the chapter "Product technical specifications" to check the application
limits of SKIROSOL.
• Ensure that the automation receiver on which SKIROSOL is to be memorised uses "TTS" encoding (refer to the auto-
mation receiver instruction manual).
• SKIROSOL may not be compatible with older motors manufactured before June 2004 or with SRCR 200 control
units.
• (fig. 1) Ensure that the selected installation site for SKIROSOL is within the transmission-reception range generated by
SKIROSOL and the receiver of the automation to be controlled. Although the range in favourable conditions (open field)
can reach 100 m, a maximum range of 20-30 m is recommended given that SKIROSOL constitutes a protection. Also
ensure that there are no other radio devices in the area operating at the same frequency with continuous transmissions,
such as alarms, radio earphones, etc., as these may reduce the range further.
• Ensure that the selected installation site meets the following requirements:
– (fig. 2) it must allow for full and direct sunlight exposure of the sun sensor surface; never install the product in zones
subject to shade from awnings, trees, balconies etc. or below a source of intense artificial light;
8 – English
– (fig. 3) the area must ensure exposure of the wind sensor blades to the same ventilation as that applied on the sun
awning to be automated.
– (fig. 4) it must allow the rain sensor to be directly exposed to rain.
• (fig. 5) Select the type of configuration for the SKIROSOL structure according to the angle of the surface selected for
installation.
• Caution! – The wind sensor blades must be positioned horizontally facing downwards with respect to the body.
• Ensure that the surfaces selected for installation are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that SKIROSOL is placed in a position protected against accidental impact with other objects.
3 – PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Caution! – Before installation, read chapter 2 thoroughly.
For installation, fix the various parts of the product in numerical order as shown in fig. 6. Then rotate the body of SKI-
ROSOL until the wind sensor blades are positioned on a horizontal plane as shown in fig. 5.
4 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION!
– The final connection of the device to the electrical mains must be performed by a qualified electrician in com-
pliance with local safety standards and the information provided in this instruction manual.
– Strictly observe the stated connections. If in doubt, do NOT attempt to make connections differently but refer
to the technical info sheets that can also be found on the website www.stobag.com.
– Incorrect connections can cause faults or hazards; therefore ensure that the specified connections are strictly
observed.
Make the electrical connections as shown in fig. 7. To perform the operating tests and memorisation of the device in the
automation receiver, SKIROSOL must be connected to the electrical power supply.
Notes:
– After powering up SKIROSOL, the LED will emit a sequence of flashes to indicate the connected version of
SKIROSOL:
• SKIROSOL 630: RED LED, YELLOW LED, GREEN LED, RED LED
5 – MEMORISING THE PRODUCT ON THE AUTOMATION RECEIVER
As with any transmitter, SKIROSOL also requires memorisation of its radio code on the receiver of the automation to
be controlled, so that SKIROSOL can send the commands via radio. To memorise SKIROSOL follow the "Mode I" pro-
cedure described in the manual of the tubular motor or associated receiver. Note – key ■ (= Stop) on the transmitter
specified in this manual is equivalent to the SKIROSOL key "P1" as shown in fig. 8.
Alternatively one of the following memorisation procedures can be used.
Procedure for memorising additional transmitters using an already memorised transmitter
Caution – Use this procedure when one or more radio codes have been memorised on the tubular motor.
01. Press and hold the key "P1" on the new SKIROSOL to be memorised, until the motor emits a signal*;
02. press "P1" slowly three times on an old transmitter already memorised on the motor;
03. then again press the key "P1" on the new SKIROSOL to be memorised;
04. the motor then emits 3 signals*, indicating memorisation.
Note – If the memory is full, the motor emits 6 signals*, notifying the user that memorisation of the new SKIROSOL is
not possible.
(*)Note – The nature of the signals depends on the product SKIROSOL is connected to: they may be beeps, clicks or
flashes.
At the end of the memorisation procedure, perform the following TESTS to ensure correct memorisation.
Note – The tests are performed in real time, without taking into account the standby times in normal operation.
SUN SENSOR TEST:
01. Turn the knob "Sun" (fig. 8) ANTICLOCKWISE to the "Test" position.
02. Ensure that the green LED emits a series of short green flashes (= threshold exceeded) and that SKIROSOL acti-
vates a Descent command (▼). Note – If this does not occur, direct a light on the sun sensor.
03. Then darken the sensor so that it no longer receives light and check whether the LED emits a series of short alternat-
ing green and red flashes.
