2.  General safety instructions

All work performed on electrical equipment is associated with 

a risk of electric shock and electrocution.

deenergised state.

The use of defective equipment can lead to personal injury 

and damage to property (electric shocks, short circuiting).

3.  Correct usage

Only use the DuoFern Connect actuator for the control of:

 

◆

 Roller shutters and Sun shading systems

 

◆

 Blinds and external Venetian blinds

Operating conditions

 

◆

The installation and operation of the DuoFern radio system and 

its components is only permitted for those systems and devices 

where a malfunction in the transmitter or receiver would not 

cause a danger to persons or property or where this risk is already 

covered by other safety equipment.

 

◆

 For the electrical connection a 230 V / 50 Hz power supply, to- 

gether with a site-provided isolating device (fuse), must be avail-

able at the installation site.

IMPORTANT

Radio systems which transmit on the same frequency can cause 

interference.

4.  Incorrect use

Never use the DuoFern radio system and its components (e. g.  

DuoFern Connect actuator) for remote control of devices and systems 

with heightened safety-relevant requirements or a heightened risk 

of accident. Such use would require additional safety equipment. 

Observe the respective statutory regulations for the installation of 

such systems.

6.  Brief description

The DuoFern Connect actuator can be used to equip drives for 

blinds, external Venetian blinds and roller shutters with DuoFern 

radio technology.

As soon as you integrate your DuoFern Connect actuator into a  

DuoFern radio network, you can make use of many functions offered 

by the corresponding DuoFern controllers in combination with the 

connected drive. 

The DuoFern actuators and transmitters must be connected 

to the DuoFern network.

In order to make use of the corresponding controllers (e.g. DuoFern 

manual transmitter Standard), you must first connect the DuoFern 

Connect actuator with the DuoFern network. Use the enclosed SET 

magnet to switch the actuator to connect and disconnect mode 

(see page 42). 

NOTE

A detailed description of the various functions, settings and pos-

sible combinations for DuoFern systems can be obtained under:
