Frequently Asked Questions - DuoFern Wandtaster 9494 RADEMACHER

How do I pair a DuoFern device with the wall controller?

Put the DuoFern device into registration mode (see its manual), then press and hold buttons TL + T1 for 1 second on the wall controller. The green LED flashes. Complete pairing within 120 seconds.

Can I control multiple devices with one wall controller?

Yes, you can log on up to 16 DuoFern devices. However, only devices of the same type or class can be logged on together.

How do I change the battery?

When the red LED flashes three times, the battery is low. Remove the operating unit from the wall bracket, press the battery out with a non-conductive object, and replace with a CR2450 battery, positive side up.

What is the jog mode and how do I activate it?

Jog mode allows precise control of venetian blinds (slat tilt). To activate or deactivate, press and hold TR + T1 for 5 seconds. The green LED indicates activated mode.

How do I delete all settings and reset the controller?

Press and hold TL + T2 until the red LED lights up constantly after flashing. All devices are logged off and factory settings restored.

What is the operating range?

Indoor range is approximately 30 m; outdoor range up to 100 m. Range may vary due to building structure.

Can I use the wall controller for dimming lights?

Yes, if paired with a compatible DuoFern dimmer. Single tap toggles on/off, press and hold to dim, double tap for full brightness.

How do I change the direction of rotation of a tubular motor?

Ensure only one motor is logged on. Check if changeable by pressing TR + T2 briefly (green LED = possible). Then press and hold TR + T2 for 5 seconds.

What should I do if the controller does not respond?

First, check the battery. If battery is fine, perform a software reset (TL + T2). Also ensure no interference from metal surfaces nearby.
