Blink Codes for Sivoia QS Wireless Shades and Venetian Blinds

QS Wireless Receiver

QS Shade Button Diagram

QS Venetian Blind Button Diagram Note: The "Tilt Mode" LED is not referenced below. This LED will turn ON when the commands generated by the main buttons (Closed Limit, Open Limit, CW, CCW) are affecting the "Tilt" module of the Blind OR when the main LED's feedback applies to the "Tilt" module of the Blind. The main LED's feedback will always follow the codes below.

Note:  All blink codes described below occur on both the EDU & the QS Wireless Receiver, unless specifically noted with EDU only or Wireless Receiver only.
 

Normal Operation

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern
	EDU only: Startup This occurs when the EDU powers up. If this happens when the EDU tries to start moving, this is an indication the motor is stalling and the EDU is resetting. Verify that the fabric/hembar is not caught.	Red for 1/2s, green for 1/2s, blue for 1/2s, repeat 2 times.	Alternately blinking red/green/blue, 1/2s for each color.
	Wireless Receiver only: Startup This occurs when the wireless receiver powers up.	Red for 1/2s, green for 1/2s, repeat 3 times.	1/2s for each color.  3s total.
	Operating normally.	Off	LEDs off
	EDU only: The EDU is being moved from its local Clockwise or Counterclockwise buttons.	Constant on	A constant green LED

Double-tap the Open Limit button to send the EDU to its open limit, or double-tap the Close Limit button to send the EDU to its close limit.

Setting Limits Using Buttons on the EDU

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern
	EDU only: The EDU is in limit set mode. Tap the Open Limit or Close Limit button to leave limit set mode, or press and hold the open or close limit button to store current position as the open or close limit.	Constant on	A constant green LED
	EDU only: The EDU is currently in process of storing this position as the open or close limit.	1/8 second	A fast green blink (8 per second) for 2 seconds

Assigning (used in systems without a main repeater)

 

Description - Assigning is used to assign or unassign a control device from the wireless shade in systems without a main repeater.  There are two assignment modes available.

1) Forward Assignment Mode - In this mode, the user starts the process at the control (Pico or seeTouch keypad), taps any button on the EDU, and completes the process back at the control.

HOW TO ENTER: Press & hold the "Open" & "Close" buttons on a control (Pico or seeTouch keypad) for 3s.  The EDU & wireless receiver will show slow LED feedback if they are unassigned, or fast LED feedback if they are assigned.  See below for details of these blink codes.
HOW TO EXIT:  Press & hold the "Open" & "Close" buttons on a control (Pico or seeTouch keypad) for 3s.  The EDU & wireless receiver will stop showing LED feedback.

 

2) Reverse Assignment Mode - This mode starts at the EDU.  The user puts the wireless shade into reverse assignment mode by holding the open limit (indicated with a white rectangle) button for 5s, then tapping the clockwise button.  Then, to perform the assignment, they hold a button on the control (Pico or seeTouch keypad).

HOW TO ENTER: Press & hold the "Open Limit" button on the EDU that the wireless receiver is connected to.  The LED on the EDU will blink quickly after 5s.  Then, tap the "Clockwise" button.  The LED on both the wireless receiver & the EDU will then begin to blink 2 times every 4s (shown below) indicating that they are in assignment mode.
HOW TO EXIT: The EDU & wireless receiver will automatically exit reverse assignment mode after being assigned to a control device.  If you do not wish to assign any controls to the wireless shade in assignment mode, you can exit the mode manually.  To exit , press & hold the "Open Limit" button on the EDU for 5s.  The LED on the EDU & wireless receiver will stop blinking to indicate both devices are operating normally & are no longer in assignment mode.

LED	Description	Timing	LED Blink Pattern
	The wireless shade is in assignment mode (either forward or reverse) & unassigned to the control. Note: If the LED goes out after trying to enter reverse assignment mode, the max number of assigned controls has been reached.	4s	Two green blinks in 4s.
	The wireless shade is in forward assignment mode & assigned to the control.	1/8 second	A fast green blink (8 per second) for 3s.

Addressing to a Main Repeater

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern
	Unaddressed.  This device is in addressing mode and is unaddressed to the main repeater.	4s	On for 3s, then off for 1s.
	Addressed.  This device is in addressing mode and is addressed to the main repeater.	1s	1/2s on, 1/2s off.
	Trying to address.  When the wireless shade is in addressing mode & any button is held down on the EDU, the wireless shade will request to be addressed by the main repeater.  This fast blink should stop after 3s & begin showing the "Addressed" feedback described just above.	1/8 second	A fast green blink (8 per second) for 3s.

 Programming in a Main Repeater System

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern
	Unassigned.  This device is in programming mode and is unassigned to the control device that was used to enter programming mode (ex: Pico, seeTouch keypad, VCRX).	10s	2 green blinks every 10s.
	Assigned.  This device is in programming mode and is assigned to the control device that was used to enter programming mode (ex: Pico, seeTouch keypad, VCRX).	1s	1/2s on, 1/2s off.

OS Updating

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern
	Wireless Receiver only: In OS update mode & receiving data.	Constant on
	Wireless Receiver only: In OS update mode, but not receiving data.  Note: The wireless receiver doesn't always receive data while OS uploading, so seeing this during the upload doesn't imply that there is an error.  If this blink code continues after the OS upload finishes, however, then the wireless receiver did not properly update.  To fix this, verify that RF range between the main repeater & the wireless receiver is acceptable, and try again.	1s	1/2s on, 1/2s off.
	EDU only: In OS update mode & receiving data.	Constant on
	EDU only: In OS update mode, but not receiving data.  Note: The EDU doesn't always receive data while OS uploading, so seeing this during the upload doesn't imply that there is an error.  If this blink code continues after the OS upload finishes, however, then the EDU did not properly update.  To fix this, verify that RF range between the main repeater & the wireless receiver is acceptable, and try again.	1s	1/2s on, 1/2s off.

Return to Defaults

Note:  Returning an EDU to its default settings ("out-of-box") will NOT affect the EDU's limits.

LED	Description	LED Cycle	LED Blink Pattern

	Step 4 - EDU only Finally, press and hold the CCW button for 5 seconds. The EDU will turn solid blue while it defaults its settings, and then the EDU will automatically restart.	Constant on	A blue LED for a few seconds, and then the EDU will restart.
	Step 4 - Wireless Receiver only When step 4 is completed on the EDU by pressing & holding the CCW button for 5 seconds, the wireless receiver will turn solid red while it defaults its settings, and then the wireless receiver will automatically restart.	Constant on	A redLED for a few seconds, and then the wireless receiver will restart.

Fault Conditions

	EDU only: Temperature overheated / maximum runtime exceeded Wait 20 minutes before attempting to move the EDU.	8 seconds	Four red blinks in 8 seconds
