These menu items are shown automatically and in alphabetical order in the display, as the interface is installed.In many cases the interface/repeater unit factory set-tings are sucient and the interface/repeater unit can be used without further settings being programmed. When using the factory settings, first confirm the settings in menu items , , ,  and  (described on pages 16-21).Then continue in menu item , submenu "Register pro-ducts" (described on pages 22-25) and submenu "Select products" (described on pages 26-27). It is not necessary to go through the other submenus in menu item .The interface is now ready for use.Thermostatic control of a VELUX skylight by a compa-tible thermostat A thermostat can be used to control automatic opening and closing of skylight(s) depending on the temperature. A typical thermostat works by means of a potential free change-over contact that switches between two positions depending on the ambient temperature. The illustration shows how to connect the potential free change-over contact to the inter-face/repeater unit.A thermostat set to 72 °F will typically change position (ie open the skylight(s)) when the tem-perature rises above 74°F, and switch back (ie close the skylight(s)) when the temperature again has fallen below 70 °F.The skylight(s) can be operated with the remote control at any time. Example of typical use of the interface/repeater unit
14 VELUX ENGLISH VELUX 15ENGLISHCCCCC Interface/repeater unit function and connectionThe interface/repeater unit is used when products are to be controlled by external control devices.Individual control of a product or a product group requires one interface/repeater unit per product or product group.The entries in the interface/repeater unit must be connec-ted to control devices with potential free contacts. When the potential free contact is activated, the interface/repeater unit sends an RF command to the products to be operated. It is possible to operate a single product or a group of products.Function of entriesOPEN/UP/ON is controlled by connecting C and (2 core wire required).CLOSE/DOWN/OFF is controlled by connecting C and (2 core wire required).STOP is controlled by connecting C with both and (3 core wire required).Note: Alternatively, a single contact can control both , and STOP, see section Signal mode.Connection to entriesA single contact can be used for running products either up or down.A set of two contacts can be used for running products both up and down with variable stops.A change-over contact can also be used for running pro-ducts both up and down but stops are not possible.Contact requirementsPotential free contacts with a maximum resistance of 100 Ω can be used. A current of 5-10 mA at approx 10 V d.c. runs through the contact. Contacts with a pulse signal can also be used if the dura-tion of the pulse is longer than 100 ms.Note: The operation of the interface/repeater unit can only be stopped by switching o the mains power.

Note: The blocking can be cancelled by simultaneously activating entry and entry from the external control device. The blocking can also be cancelled temporarily by pressing "Menu" on the display of the interface. The next time the entries are activated, the chosen channels are blocked again.Example of blocking channelsBlocking is used for blocking the commands of other control devices. For instance you may want to close the skylights when leaving the house. In this case, you can use a key switch that transmits a signal when you turn the key.If you set the interface/repeater unit to send on channel 7 and permanently block all other channels (4-6), the skylights will be closed when you lock the door.Note: Many alarm systems with integrated locking signal in the keypad can be used for activating the entries in the interface/repeater unit and therefore for blocking the operation of products in the system.

36 VELUX ENGLISH VELUX 37ENGLISHThe products can be combined with most intelligent building installations (IBI). The IBI system must include an output module with one or more pro-grammable outputs. When the outputs have been connected to the entries in the interface/repeater unit, the relevant products can be controlled via the interface/repeater unit. With two outputs, it is possible to control both of the functions and in an product or a group of products.You can control up to 200 products or groups of products individually. Howe-ver, individual control of a product or a product group requires one interface/repeater unit per product or product group. If eg a group of skylights facing south and another group of skylights facing north are to be con-trolled individually by thermostats, the two groups must have an interface/repeater unit each.
