5.3.6 Calibration of the motion time and direction of the digitalSTROM relay terminal block Shade
The positioning of shading systems cannot be directly controlled through the power output of the terminal block. Instead it is controlled by the corresponding running time of the motor in the shading system. Therefore the shading system has to be calibrated after connection to the digitalSTROM relay terminal block.
During calibration the system moves to the end positions of the shading system whereby the direction of travel and the path/time measurements are parametrised in the terminal block.
It is imperative for the parameters to be determined in order to ensure safe and faultless operation.
The run time can only be calibrated, if per digitalSTROM relay terminal block only one tubular motor is connected for the shading system.
If you activate several tubular motors along with a digitalSTROM relay terminal block GR-KL200 via a cut-off relay, then you must set the run time manually and the threshold value end switch detection must be set to 0 mA.
Calibration by digitalSTROM Configurator
To perform the calibration in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator, use the command in the Hardware main section
 
Edit shade device properties.
In the Shade device properties use Start to calibrate motion time and direction to start a sequence whereby the terminal block determines the required parameters of the driven shading system independently.
Calibration is performed in 3 steps. At each step the user can visually check and confirm the shading system end position.
The individual steps depend on the type of shading system (shutters/blinds/awnings). Follow the corresponding instructions:
The dialogues for the digitalSTROM relay terminal block shutter GR-KL200 (grey) are shown below as an example (Fig. 29, Fig. 30, Fig. 31).
Please note that the direction of travel of the connected shading system is not yet known prior to calibration. Therefore the push buttons for the motion commands in the dialogues are shown as left/right arrows (instead of Open/Close). You need to first test the direction of travel using the arrows before you can follow the specified sequences.

Calibration using digitalSTROM push button (without dSS)
A sequence of motion commands must be called up to calibrate a digitalSTROM relay terminal block by using inching commands. The shading system must reach its end position in one specified driving sequence as part of this process. Hereby the digitalSTROM relay terminal block determines the required parameters of the connected shading system.
Fig. 32 Calibration using digitalSTROM push button (without digitalSTROM Server).
1) The 1-way push button changes the direction of travel after a long click.
2) Depending on the installation of the digitalSTROM relay terminal block, the direction of travel for the 2-way push button only corresponds to the Open/Close push button after calibration. Check the functionality of the push button while approaching the first end position and use the other Open/Close push button as necessary. For each additional step use the other applicable push button (symbolised by ?). After calibration the push buttons will match the effective direction of travel.
