PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
This transmitter is part of the "SKIMY" STOBAG range. The
transmitters of these two ranges are used to control automa-
tion mechanisms for awnings, outdoor sunblinds or blinds:
any other use is improper and forbidden!
Functional specifications
• The "SKIMY SRCH X" range consists of portable mod-
els ("H") while the "SKIMY SRCW X" range consists of wall
mounted models ("W"). • 1 or 6 "unit" models are available to
send commands to, as well as models with commands for the
management of the weather sensors. • Some models are pro-
vided with a hook to hang the transmitter on the wall, others
are provided with a plate to mount it on the wall. To install this
accessory please refer to fig. 2 or 3. • Fig. 1 reports all the
keys which may be on the transmitters, based on the model.
Their use is as follows:
A - "Unit" keys (only in the X6M, X6MS models): are required
to select the awning/s to send the commands to. While
memorising the transmitter, it is necessary to programme
at least one of these keys, associating at least one awning
(or more awnings) to them. This makes the key a "unit for
the reception of the commands", meaning that the awning
associated to it will receive the same commands during
the use of the transmitter. The other keys available may be
programmed in a similar manner, based on the system's
needs. For all purposes, it is like having 6 independent
transmitters in a single command device.
B - Command keys (in all the models): are required to send
the rise (▲), stop (■) and lower (▼) commands. In the
P6, P6S, W6, W6S models, prior to sending a command,
select the "unit" to send the command to.
C - Control keys of the automatic commands (only in the
P1S, P6S, W1S, W6S models): the
key disables) the reception by the motor of the auto-
matic commands transmitted by any weather sensor in
the installation. When
is pressed the system sets the
automatic operating mode of the automation mechanism
whereas when
is pressed the system sets the manual
operating mode of the automation mechanism. The
"Wind" sensor may not be disabled since it is required to
protect the automation mechanism from wind damage.
With the automatic operating mode enabled, the user
may send manual commands any time. For more infor-
mation please refer to the manual of the motor mecha-
nism and the weather sensor.
D - Programming keys (in all the models): in the compat-
ible motors (from 2013/2014), these keys are required to
simplify the performance of the programming procedures:
the PRG key speeds up the access to the procedures,
whereas the ESC key speeds up the exit from them. To
access the keys remove the battery cover.
In the X6M, X6MS: during the execution of the proce-
dures, when pressing these keys is required, it is neces-
sary to firstly select the single "unit" where the procedure
is being performed.
TESTING THE TRANSMITTER
Before memorising the transmitter in the receiver of the motor,
check its proper operation by pressing any key and observing
whether the LED lights up (fig. 1-E). If it does not, refer to the
section entitled "Replacing the Battery" in this manual.
SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMITTER
• Select a "unit" to send a command to (only for the mod-
els X6M, X6MS)
With these transmitter models, prior to sending a command
it is necessary to select the "unit" (i.e. the awnings associated
to this) to send the command to. After selecting the unit, its
LED remains lit for a few seconds and, before its turns off, it is
possible to select other units to be added to the first selected
(to eliminate a unit selected by mistake, turn off its LED by
briefly pressing the associated key).
After selecting the units desired, when their LEDs automati-
cally turn off, the units will remain in the transmitter's memory
until a new unit/s is/are selected. While they remain in the
memory it will be possible to send them commands without
having to select them first.
• Enable or disable the reception of the automatic com-
mands sent from a weather sensor (only for the models
X1MS, X6MS)
With these transmitter models it is possible to enable or dis-
able the reception of the automatic commands coming from
any weather sensor connected (e.g. the "Sun" automatism
mechanisms). For a good management of the awnings con-
nected to the weather sensors, we advise using a single
transmitter provided with keys to enable or disable automatic
commands.
Only for the model X6MS: in these transmitters, prior to ena-
bling or disabling the operating mode, it is necessary to select
the "unit/s" which the setting must be sent to. While using
these transmitters, to check whether the units are enabled
or disabled, just select these one at a time and observe the
state of the LEDs:
lit;
off = function enabled;
off;
lit = function disabled;
Note – If more units are selected and the two LEDs appear to
be off, this means that there is at least one unit which has the
automatic commands enabled.
MEMORISING THE TRANSMITTER
To memorise the transmitter in a control unit (or in a receiver)
it is possible to choose one of the following procedures, com-
patibly with the presence of this in the manual of the control
unit or the receiver:
A - Memorisation in "Mode I"
B - Memorisation in "Mode II"
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter through another al-
ready memorised
D - Memorisation through the "Enable Code" received from a
previously memorised transmitter
The detailed instructions of each procedure are reported in the
instruction manual of the motor or the control unit with which
you want to make the transmitter work. These manuals are
also available in the website: www.stobag.com. Since in the
manuals the transmitter keys may be identified with symbols
or numbers, please refer to fig. 1-B to know the correspond-
ence between these and the transmitter keys.
A - Memorisation in "Mode I"
This mode automatically transfers, all together, the various
commands available in the motor, in the various keys available
on the transmitter, without giving the installer the possibility
of changing the combination among commands and keys.
In other words, during the execution of the procedure that
memorises the transmitter in this mode, the system auto-
matically combines the commands available in the motor with
each key on the transmitter. At the end of the procedure each
key will be combined with a certain command, according to
the factory set layout.
B - Memorisation in "Mode II"
This mode manually combines one of the commands avail-
able in the motor with one of the transmitter keys, giving the
key enables (the
installer the possibility of choosing the command and the key
desired. In other words, during the execution of the procedure
that memorises the transmitter in this mode, the installer
automatically combines the command desired (among those
available in the motor) with the desired key of the transmitter.
At the end of the procedure, to memorise another key with
another command desired, it will be necessary to repeat the
procedure once again.
Attention! - Each automation mechanism has its own list
of commands that can be memorised in Mode II; therefore
consult the manual of the motor or the control unit to choose
the command you want to combine with the transmitter key.
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter through another
already memorised
This procedure memorises additional transmitters, if at least
one transmitter is already memorised in the motor. The proce-
dure memorises a new transmitter in the motor, by working at
a maximum distance of 20m from this, together with another
transmitter already memorised in the same motor. The proce-
dure lets the new transmitter memorise the same commands
in the one already memorised.
D - Memorisation through the "Enable Code"
(from 2013/2014)
The transmitters of the SRCH X and SRCW X ranges have an
"enable code". The transfer of this code from an already mem-
orised transmitter (old) to a transmitter to be memorised (new)
allows the latter to be recognised by the motor and, therefore,
be automatically memorised by this during the sending of the
first commands. Attention! – the transfer may take place only
between transmitters belonging to the SRCH X and SRCW X
ranges. The procedure is as follows:
01. Put the two transmitters close together as shown in fig. 6
(for SRCH X), or in fig. 7 (for SRCW X), and keep the two
attached together until the end of the procedure.
02. On the "new" transmitter: keep ▲ pressed (in the mod-
els X6M, X6MS briefly press first the "unit" in which you
want to memorise the enable code) and then release the
key after the LED (with light steady) turns on on the "old"
transmitter. Release the key and the LED starts flashing.
03. On the "old" transmitter:
• in the models X1M, X1MS: press and release ▼. When
the key is released the LEDs of the two transmitters flash
for some time (= enable code transferred).
• in the models X6M, X6MS: press and release the unit key
which contains the enable code to be transferred. When
the key is released the LEDs of the two transmitters flash
for some time (= enable code transferred).
During the procedure, any error is signalled by the LED with
the following fast flashes:
10 flashes = communication error between the devices.
15 flashes = memorisation failed due to time limit exceeded.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
When the batteries run down, the range of the transmitter
is significantly reduced. When pressing any key you will find
that the LED takes a while to light up (= batteries almost ex-
hausted) and that the brightness of the LED is dimmed (=
batteries completely exhausted). In these cases, in order to
restore the normal operation of the transmitter, you need to
replace the exhausted batteries with two of the same type,
observing the polarity shown in fig. 4 or 5).
• Battery disposal
Attention! – Exhausted batteries contain polluting substances;
therefore they may not be disposed of together with unsorted
household waste. They must be disposed of separately, ac-
cording to the regulations locally in force.
