5. Product description
The Troll Comfort DuoFern controller is designed for controlling roller
shutters, Venetian blinds, slats or awnings by connecting a correspond-
ing tubular motor.
If required, you can connect a lamp or other electrical appliances to
the controller instead of a tubular motor and use the light function to
control it.
The Troll Comfort DuoFern can be operated individually on site or it can
be integrated into a DuoFern network.
DuoFern receivers (actuators) and transmitters must be connected
to the DuoFern network.
You can find a detailed description of the various functions, configu-
ration options and possible combinations for the DuoFern system at:
http://www.rademacher.de/duofern.
Central control of DuoFern devices with a single Troll
Comfort DuoFern.
A DuoFern network generally includes the DuoFern Manual Central
Operating Unit or the HomePilot® (together with the associated user
interface) as the central controllers.
Alternatively you can also use the Troll Comfort DuoFern as a central
controller. To do so, you must configure the corresponding DuoFern
mode.
The following DuoFern modes can be selected,
see page 114.
[ 1 ] = DuoFern receiver
[ 2 ] = DuoFern transmitter

Power reserve (approx. 8 hours)
The current time flashes for approx. 5 minutes in the event of a power
failure and the Troll Comfort DuoFern changes to power reserve.
Time and date after a power failure
The power reserve is approx. 8 hours. If this time is exceeded, the time and
date are lost and need to be reset, see page 81.

The internal timer works with tolerances in power reserve
mode. It may therefore be necessary to adjust the time after
a longer power failure.
Data retention following a power failure
All settings remain permanently saved. Data is not lost even after a
longer power failure.

matically to the upper end point.
When configuring opening times [ ], it is possible to link them to
a switching time mode, see page 53. The calculated dawn time
can be customised by linking the opening times with the [ ASTRO ]
switching time mode. This means that it is not necessary to continuous-
ly readjust the opening time throughout the year.
Link to the opening time [ ]
The previously configured opening time is interpreted as “earliest at
xx:xx hours”.

Automatic reversing function in the event of a blockage
In the event of a blockage, the motor immediately runs in the opposite
direction for approx. 2 seconds to release the roller shutter.
More information about the blockage detection:
◆If longer connecting leads are used (>5 m), it is possible that the
blockage detection system will fail to work correctly due to external
interference.
◆It is possible that the motor will be switched off by the blockage
detection system when moving out of the end points when using
mechanical motors with high switching hysteresis. Blockage detec-
tion must be deactivated for this type of motor.
i
Some motors can trigger undesired reversing when
reaching the end positions (e.g. atypical internal motor
wiring, long cables etc.). In such cases it is recommended
to deactivate the reversing function.
i
If the motor type cannot be precisely determined, then
a suitable setting for motor type and sensitivity must be
determined by trial and error.

Brief description of jog mode
Tapping the operating buttons briefly enables Venetian blind slats to be
conveniently configured.
In order to conveniently move the Venetian blinds to the end points, ac-
tuate the control button for 1 second longer than the configured tilting
time. Once the button is released, the Venetian blinds will move to the
end point without stopping.
Brief description of the automatic slat adjustment function
If the Troll Comfort DuoFern controls the motor in the down direction
until the total running time has elapsed or the Venetian blind motor
is stopped manually, then the motor reverses automatically for a brief
period (automatic slat adjustment function). This serves to position the
slats to the desired angle in order to provide sun shading to the room.
