Q C O N N E C T Intro I N S T R U C T I O N S INTRODUCTION H omerun Holdings Qmotion Qconnect is a multifunctional device. It uses Qmotion RF technology and both dry contact and serial interfaces to act as a shade controller in your installation. This manual will guide you through the setup and understanding of your Qconnect functions. Once installed, your Qmotion Qconnect can be used to control various types of Qmotion shades.
Q C O N N E C T I N S T R U C T I O N S INDUSTRY CANADA COMPLIANCE Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Q C O N N E C T I N S T R U C T I O N S PRECAUTIONS STATEMENT • Do not let the Qmotion Qconnect get wet. Keep the Bridge away from rain and sea water. Letting the Bridge get wet may cause the unit to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired. • Never leave the Qconnect exposed to temperatures above 120°F (55°C), such as in an attic or under direct sunlight.
Q C O N N E C T I N S T R U C T I O N S Checking supplied accessories Check that the following accessories are supplied with your Qmotion Qconnect. 1 2 3 1 WRG05F-050A AC power adapter. 2 TA040130 433MHz RP-SMA swivel antenna. Note: If a new antenna is needed it must be ordered from HomeRun Holdings Corporation to ensure continued compliance with FCC and Industry Canada. 3 B1360048 Wall mount kit.

CONNECTOR PIN OUT The Qmotion Qconnect has two RJ45 connectors and one 10 pin keyed male header. The pin out description is as follows: The RJ-45 connector is shown tab side down *NOTE: optional. Power to the Qmotion Qconnect can be supplied on pins 4/5 and 7/8. By providing 5-9VDC positive on pins 4 and 5 and power ground on pins 7 and 8 the Qmotion Qconnect can powered by the CAT5 cable. The power supplied on the RS485 input is daisy-chained on the RS485 output jack.
NOTE: The Qmotion Qconnect does not operate on “standard” power over Ethernet schemes. Do not attempt to connect the Qmotion Qconnect to any Ethernet device. Do not attempt to connect the Qmotion Qconnect to any POE (power over Ethernet) device. Doing so, may damage the Qmotion Qconnect and/or the external Ethernet or POE device. To power the Qmotion Qconnect over the RJ45 (RS485) interface, you must follow the optional power instructions listed above.
Bit1 bit2 bit3 bit4 termination The Contact Interface consists of a 10pin 0.100” pitch male header that is keyed. The Contact interface allows for sensing contact closure as commands for sending out RF commands. Please refer to the Dry Contact Interface Section for details on commands. The bit pairs indicated above (bit1 thru bit4) can be used individually or in combinations to make 16 different dry contact events.
ASSEMBLY To use your Qmotion Qconnect it is necessary to attach the supplied swivel RPSMA antenna. To attach the antenna, carefully align the antenna connector with the antenna base and screw the antenna on in a clock wise direction. Do not over tighten the antenna. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS The Qmotion Qconnect can be mounted to a wall or such by using the supplied wall mount kit. The wall mount kit is designed to allow easy removal of the Bridge.
ROTARY SELECTOR The Qmotion Qconnect Rotary Selector is used for two functions. When external power is absent from the Qmotion Qconnect, the Rotary selector is used to pick one of 15 unique groups (or addresses) to lean to each Qmotion powered shade. By selecting the group (address) with the Rotary selector and then pressing the UP and DOWN buttons, it is possible to learn and control a Qmotion powered shade manually with the Qmotion Qconnect.
THEORY OF OPERATION The Qmotion Qconnect is a part of HomeRun Holdings Qmotion RF controls. The Qmotion Qconnect is ideal for any residential or commercial setting where a serial interface or dry contact interface is required to integrate with a third party automation system. This is done through a RS485 or RS232 connection or a dry contact connection with an external control system such as a PC or automation system.
INTERFACE CABLE OPTIONS The Qmotion Qconnect utilizes standard RJ-45 connector for both the RS232 and RS485 interfaces. The pin-out of the signals for the RS232 connection and the RS485 connection is described in the RJ-45 pin out diagram earlier in this document. The Qmotion Qconnect is not an Ethernet device, yet for daisy chaining multiple Qconnect devices, standard CAT5 patch cables may be used.
SELECTING THE INTERFACE (RS232, RS485, DRY CONTACT) The Qconnect Bridge comes from the factory set for RS232 operation.
RS232 OPERATION The Qmotion Qconnect RS232 interface uses the following settings: 9600 BAUD, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity A communication packet consists of the following data: 15 channel ID’s. Button code 0-F LRC checksum Each packet command to the bridge should include a) SOF b) Length c) Type d) Command ID e) 0x00 (reserved) f) Channel ID g) Button Code h) Checksum Field Description SOF Start Of Frame.
Button Code Unique button code ID 0x01 – 0x0F for the activation of a shade function. (see appendix A for list of valid button codes) Checksum LRC checksum used to check for frame integrity. Checksum calculation includes the Length, Type, Command ID,0x00, Channel ID, Button Code fields. The Checksum is a XOR checksum with an initial checksum value of 0xFF.
RS485 OPERATION The Qmotion Qconnect RS485 interface uses the following settings: 9600 BAUD, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity A communication packet consists of the following data: 15 channel ID’s.
Interface ID Unique interface ID 0x01 – 0x0F for the selection of particular Addressed bridge device on RS485 chain. Channel ID Unique channel ID 0x01 – 0x0F for the selection of a particular Channel (serial) to be transmitted via 433Mhz RF. Button Code Unique button code ID 0x01 – 0x0F for the activation of a shade function. (see appendix A for list of valid button codes) Checksum LRC checksum used to check for frame integrity.
DRY CONTACT OPERATION The dry contact interface allows for external contact closures such as those from relay contacts to initiate RF commands. The Qmotion Qconnect has four (4) pairs of male header pins which can be used to wire in contact control signals. The dry contact interface provides it’s own source power for making contact closure determination.
