products connected to it (including battery backup KLB, if installed) and
ensure that it cannot be reconnected unintentionally during this time.
• The product requires a minimal amount of maintenance. The surface may
be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using a small amout of household cleaner
diluted in water.
• If main power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified
electrical installer in accordance with all local codes, ordinances, rules and
regulations.
• If you have any technical questions, please contact VELUX.
Installation
• The interface/repeater unit is for indoor use only.

Menu items to
These instructions refer to the menu items to .
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 sucient 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.

Interface/repeater unit function and connection
The 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 entries
OPEN/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 entries
A 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 requirements
Potential 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.

A VELUX remote control sends on channel 3. Channels 4
to 7 are intended for automatic functions.
The interface/repeater unit can send on one channel only
and it is recommended to choose channel 7.
1 Press to choose channel.
Press "Enter" to confirm your choice.
2 The display shows that the chosen channel has been
saved.
After a short time menu item is displayed.
Block channel
You can block commands from other interfaces/repea-
ters or remote controls for 30 minutes from the time of
sending the command from them. Each channel (3-7) must
be blocked individually. In this way you can give some
commands priority to others. See the example on page 17.
1 Press to highlight the channel to be blocked.
Press "Edit" to confirm that the channel in question is
to be edited.
2 Press to highlight "Select".
Press "Enter" to confirm your choice.
3 The blocked channel has been ticked. Repeat items 1-2 to
block additional channels if required.
Press "Edit" to undo or save the settings.
4 Press to highlight "Save".
Press "Enter" to confirm your choice.

Channels
Permanent blocking
The interface/repeater unit can keep blocking the chosen
channels for longer than 30 minutes. In this way, both
external control devices with a pulse signal and ordinary
control devices such as a standard wall switch can be
used for blocking other commands.
1 Press to highlight "On".
Press "Enter" to confirm your choice.
2 The display shows that the function has been saved.
After a short time menu item is displayed.
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 channels
Blocking 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.

Repeater unit
The repeater function extends the operation range of
remote controls in the system by transmitting received
RF commands. When used as a repeater, the interface/
repeater unit should therefore be placed approximately
halfway between the remote controls and the products to
be operated.
The repeater function must be registered in remote
controls as if it were a product in the same way as other
products, see section Register products.
Steps 1 and 2 must be completed within ten minutes,
so please read items 1-7 before proceeding.
The example shows how to activate the repeater function
in the interface/repeater unit and register the function in
a VELUX remote control.
Step 1:
1 Press to highlight "Repeater".
Press "Enter" to confirm your choice.
2 The display shows that the repeater function has been
activated.
Press "Continue" to open for registration.
3 The display shows that the repeater function is ready to
be registered in the remote control.
Note: Up to three interfaces/repeater units in a system
can be set to repeater function.
The operation range of remote controls cannot be
extended further in the same direction by placing more
repeaters after each other as commands can only be sent
via one repeater.

The 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.
