5.3.5 Turn time calibration for the digitalSTROM relay terminal block Shade
Blinds are mechanically constructed to close the blades when they are lowered.
If the blinds are re-opened the blades are first turned over before the entire blind is raised. Due to this mechanical peculiarity the blades of many blinds can be controlled.
The digitalSTROM relay terminal block grey (Shade) can move the blades into the desired position. Here the blade angle is not directly controlled by the terminal block power output. Instead it is calculated on the basis of the turn time (running time of the motor needed to open/close the blades).
Therefore after connecting a shading system with blades the turn time must be calibrated. During calibration the times for the complete opening and closing of the blades will be determined.
It is imperative for the parameters to be determined in order to ensure safe and faultless operation.
Calibration by digitalSTROM Configurator

To perform the calibration in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator use the command Edit shade device properties

in the Hardware main section.
Use Start to calibrate turn time to start a support sequence for the manual determination of the blade turn time.
The calibration takes 2 steps. In the first step, the turn time is roughly measured. In the second step the user can visually check the complete opening and closure as well as a middle position of the blades, change them if necessary and finally confirm them.
You can always use Reset to return the turn time to the factory settings of 3 seconds.

Calibration - step 1 of 2:
Press Continue as soon as the blades are open and the blinds start moving up.
Press Stop to stop the moving blinds if necessary.
Calibration - step 2 of 2:
To allow full visual concentration on the blade angle, you can open or close the blades by using the arrow keys and on your computer keyboard. Use the arrow keys and to approach the middle position.
 
Calibration using digitalSTROM push button (without dSS)
The turn time can only be calibrated by using the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator.
