WAREMA Climatronic Control System BrochureOverview
The Warema Time Switch is designed to be used for controlling a single drive or multiple drives in combination with motor control units, in which case the time switch works as a higher level control.Function
The time switch is a programmable electronic timer that is mainly used to control sun shade control systems and roller shutter drives. Sun-shading systems can either be operated via push buttons or through the programmable control mode. As well as time based operation; the optional sun sensor lets you control your system according to brightness. At only 5x5cm, the time switch can be discreetly integrated into almost any common switch system.
System Details
General System Properties
| Property | Description | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Channel Quantity | A channel is a group of products that operate according to the same automatic function(s). Example roller blinds north façade all drop at the same sun level. It is a separate concept to wall switches and not to be confused with the number of wall switched groups that are possible. In the example used all roller blinds on the north facade could have individual wall switches and be separately operable, but a sun command will operate them as a group. | 1 |
| Max number of motors (1200 motors) |
The number of motors or appliances that can be connected to the system. If number is exceeded use more than one system. | 1200 |
| Low level interface to home automation or building management system | The ability to transmit, receive or exchange simple analog commands with the principle building management system via voltage free contacts. | |
| Fault code export | The ability to export a fault code to an external BMS system | |
| Freely assemblable local wall switching groups | Any arrangement of groups of blinds or individual blinds can be operated by local wall switch independently of channels. | |
| Remote Control receiver in the central unit. | The channels (see above) can be operated from a wall mounted or handheld Warema transmitter. | |
| Remote control receiver in the field | In the field handheld or wall mounted radio transmitting (non wired) switches, operating freely assemblable groups of products. | |
Automatic Functions
Note that list is not exhaustive. Many other functions may be possible. Contact us for advice. 
means that feature maybe possible with additional components or programming, or is available in a more limited form.
| Type | Description | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Sensoring |  |
Directional measurement of outside lux levels. 12 sensors can be connected. |
|
| Slat Turning |  |
After descending slatted products such as external venetian blinds can be programmed to tilt to a specified angle. | |
| Sun Tracking | |
Mathematical calculation of the position of the sun at any moment relative to the orientation (compass direction) of the product. Used in general to provide consistent shading levels with slatted products. | |
| Dawn & Dusk Control |  |
Drives the products to a programmed position at dawn and dusk. For example a school may prefer blinds retracted at dusk and a homeowner may prefer blinds dropped. | |
| Timer Direct Drive |  |
Drives a channel to a position at a programmed time | |
| Timer Auto Functions | |
Sets an another automatic function to commence at a particular time ie Begin sun sensoring at 8am | |
| Temperature Direct Drive |  |
Drives a channel to a particular position based on internal or external temperature | |
| Temperature Enable Auto Functions | |
Sets an another automatic function to commence at a particular temperature ie Begin sun sensoring at 18 degrees internal temperature. | |
| Temperature Difference Functions | |
Measurement of internal and external temperatures and movement of a product based on temperature difference within a temperature range. | |
| Cold Protection | |
Overiding command to move a product to a position based on a low temperature threshold | |
| Night Purge | |
Separate temperature difference settings that operate at night to open windows during summer in order to release heat build up from the day. For this special function a separate channel is required for a night purge function in addition to the daytime channel. | |
| Ice Alarm |  |
Uses rain and temperature data to establish if ice is present and retracts external products accordingly. | |
| Rain Monitor I/O |  |
Detects rain and accoringly can retract external fabric products or close windows. | |
| Wind Sensoring |  |
Measurement of wind speed. 12 sensors can be connected. |
|
| Wind Direction Sensor | |
Measurement of wind direction | |
| Intermittent Ventilation | |
Period (programmable) operation of a product (normally windows) based on a temperature threshold. | |
| Humidity Control |  |
Drives a channel to a particular position based on inside or outside humidity. | |
