NOTES
1. The Level is accepted as a percentage, where 100% is fully open and 0% is fully closed.
2. The Delay time is optional. When not used, the system will use a zero-second delay. The minimum delay time is
0seconds. The maximum delay time is 4 hours.
3. Fractional seconds “SS.ss” will be rounded down to the nearest quarter second. For example, if a delay time is specified
as 1.45 seconds a value of 1.25 seconds will be used.
4. When a Raise / Lower command is issued, the shade group’s level will continue to go towards open / close until a Stop
command is received.
5. Preset 0 is the Open Preset and Preset 30 is the Closed Preset.
