Installation manual

Last updating 12th of November  2024

GUELFA is a radio actuator module for roller shutters and shutters. Power supply 220V, inputs for buttons up/ down and outputs for engines, control circuit with interlock . It is compatible with motors and roller blinds.

GUELFA  is a radio actuator that allows you to control and  to control the shutters, through the app of the system D’AVINCI and the radio control configured for this purpose.It has a range of up to 1000 meters (in free space) by connecting, via radio, directly to the Centrale Lisa or through Automa repeater. The communication is of two-way type (transmission/reception) with the indication of confirmation of receipt and command. The range is reduced in case of obstacles such as walls, objects etc. are encountered.

The communication protocol, like the connections between all components of the system, is the GENIO, encrypted and protected from interception.
The device configuration is done via D’AVINCI app which can be downloaded free of charge from IOS and Android.

The device operates on two frequencies in the 868 MHz band and it is positioned in a automatic and dynamic manner free or less interference.

The device operates on two frequencies in the 868 MHz band, automatically positioning dynamically the one that is freely or less interfered.

RADIO SIGNAL INTENSITY TEST
With this function, the device after pressing the START button processes a test where it will indicate the signal level , flashing n times depending on the result obtained (1-4)

CALIBRATION

After the actuator is installed and connections to the roller shutter motor are made, calibration is recommended. This operation automatically calibrates the opening and closing intervals of the motorized roller shutters.

To activate it press the Start button , and the home automation module will perform a series of operations to detect the correct parameters , in particular, the module will make a series of openings and closures of the roller shutter. The system will collect the data necessary to determine the optimal limits of opening and closing time.

Calibration takes no more than three minutes. Since the calibration performs a sequential automatic movement (up and down of the cover) in case of emergency, the installer can immediately stop the calibration by pressing any button of the local controls or by pressing the dedicated button in the app.

EXCLUDE DEVICE
No: the device works normally and transmits all events/alarms
Total: The device does not execute the sent commands. The system ignores the
device and its notifications.

REMOVE DEVICE
Removes the device from the control panel and deletes the settings.

To display the signal strength select the card Devices and the signal level field GENIO

0 = No radio signal, no connection to control panel.
• = Poor radio signal, unstable connection with the Control Panel , operation of the detector not guaranteed.
• • = Low radio signal, low signal strength.
• • • = Good radio signal, good signal strength.
• • • • =  Excellent radio signal, optimal signal strength.

Check the radio signal strength before the final installation of the device. In case of low or unstable signal it is recommended to use the Automa repeater.

1. Access the D’AVINCI application
2. Select the Control Panel on which the detector is associated
3. Go to Devices tab
4. Select the detector

To control the/and roller shutter/, there are three possible ways:

1. Control via local buttons (UP AND DOWN)
• Manual adjustment: Press and hold the GO or GO button to open or close the roller shutter and stop it in the desired position.
• Open/close completely: Press the button briefly to open or close the roller blind completely.

2. Control via  D’AVINCI APP:

From the App select “Commands”:
The list of shutters and scenarios will appear if scheduled.

Position yourself on the roller blind you want to control:
• Open and close total/partial: press Edit and use the selector to set either partial (25% – 50% – 75%) or full opening or closing. Press then, Confirm.
• Adjustable slats: If the roller shutter has adjustable slats, you can adjust them directly from the app.

3. Control via radio control
Use the two lower left and right buttons at the bottom of the remote control if it has been properly programmed to run scenarios.

Note: In case of 230V power failure the first command may not be correct

Scenarios
This function allows us to activate several actions in sequence with a single command.

With the Guelfa module for roller shutters it is possible to set specific scenarios to control openings/closures of one or more roller shutters.
Proceed to settings as for other scenarios taking care to insert appropriate delays between a command and another to avoid that, in the case of commands related to actions of opening/closing of several shutters with a single scenario these occur sequentially to avoid excessive load on the electrical network. Refer to the absorption of individual roller shutters and the availability of sufficient capacity.

For example you can set the scenario “close all shutters” and You will enter the commands of the individual shutters, interspersed with appropriate delays, as well as other scenario “open all shutters” and proceed in the same way.

The activation of the scenarios will be done by the App or by radio control, if appropriate programmed defining, for example that with the button on the bottom left you execute the scenario “close shutters” and with the button on the bottom right you execute the scenario “open shutters”.

It is possible to program that the scenario will be implemented automatically, for example when the system is inserted or deactivated.

In the devices section, press the Control Panel box to access system states.

Press the settings icon in the top right.

Press the Scenarios button.

Press Add Scenario to create a new Scenario. The Created Scenario button will appear with the enable button.
Press the name of the Scenario, to access the programming and add the actions that compose it

The warning and malfunction indication features are enabled in the device settings, by selecting the warning field
