iFunctional description
The DuoFern central operating unit is the universal input device for the DuoFern radio
system.The DuoFern central operating unit makes it possible to configure the functions
you require (e.g. connecting and disconnecting actuators and sensors / creating groups
/ automatic switching times, etc.)The settings are transmitted wirelessly to all of the
actuators and connected end units (appliances).
The actuators/sensors must be connected to the central operating unit.
Each DuoFern actuator/sensor has to be assigned to the central operating unit for
your settings and manual switching commands to be executed.
Explanation of terms
The following terms are used in this manual: actuators/members and end units.
Two members or two end units can be controlled by a two-channel actuator after
connection to the central operating unit.
Creating groups
You can collate the logged-on end units together into groups.

Maximum number of groups and members
Groups:
Members per group:
End units
(appliances connected to the actuators)
The following rules apply:
◆An end unit can only be placed into a group as a member once.
◆An end unit can be placed in numerous groups.
◆The central operating unit always suggests the next free group slot.
This serves to avoid unintentional changes.
You can assign a name for all end units and groups
An individual name can be assigned to all end units and groups in order to facilitate a
better overview (e.g. lounge, kitchen, etc.). A table with preprogrammed suggested
names is included on page 63.

◆the next day at 03:01 AM, in the event that no DCF signal was available at the
time of commissioning.
◆every Sunday at 03:01 AM.
NOTE
Reception of a valid signal can take up to 5 minutes.
Under what circumstances is it possible that no valid /
correct DCF signal is received?
◆If the place of use of the central operating unit is more than 1500 km
from Frankfurt am Main / Germany.
◆If you are operating the central operating unit in another time zone.
◆If building conditions restrict reception.
◆If DCF reception is deactivated.
What can I do if the DCF signal is not detected?
