Pegasus: Installation Instructions (Standalone)

Note: These instructions are for using the Pegasus in “Standalone” mode.

Pegasus is a versatile device that can control RTS motors, act as a smart repeater, learn remotes and sensors, and bridge between RTS and RS-485 systems. Use the sections below to configure Pegasus for your specific application.

LED Details #

Programming an RTS Motor #

You can control the RTS motor using GPI/O inputs or 485 commands.

1. Power up Pegasus – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus to supply power. Make sure the Local LED (red) is ON.

2. Put the motor in learn mode

   • With a remote: Press and hold Up + Down until the motor jogs once.

   • Without a remote: Press and hold the programming button on the motor head until it jogs once.

   Tip: You can also push and hold the programming button on the back of the remote until the shade jogs.

   Note: Some RTS motors have a yellow LED that will start flashing in learn mode.

3. Program the motor to Pegasus – Press the PROG button on Pegasus. The motor will jog once, confirming it’s been paired.

RTS Smart Repeater Setup #

Any valid RTS signal received will be retransmitted automatically.

1. Power up Pegasus – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus for power. Confirm the Local LED (red) is ON.

2. Set channel – Turn the HEX switch to Channel E.

3. Verify signal – Make sure both the R.RX and R.TX LEDs turn ON and stay lit.

Learning a Remote, Keypad, or Sensor #

1. Power the device – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus for power.

2. Check LEDs

   • Compat LED should be OFF

   • Local LED (red) should be ON

3. Set channel – Turn the HEX dial (0-F) to the channel you want to use for learning.

4. Start learning mode – Press the Learn button – the Learn LED will start flashing.

5. Pair the device

   • Press the program button on the remote, keypad, or sensor.

   • If it transmits successfully, the RF LED will light up and the Learn LED will stop flashing.

   Note: The program button is usually on the back. You may need to remove the cover to access it.

6. Test the connection – Connect a 485 motor to one of the 485 ports to test the paired device.

Note: Pegasus can be plugged into a Janus, Suite 16 or Data Hub to control a RS-485 motor

To learn more devices: Repeat steps 3-6 for each new device – up to 16 devices total.

Learning Pico Remotes to Control a RS-485 Motor #

1. Power up Pegasus – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus to power the unit.

2. Check LEDs

   • Make sure the Local LED (red) is ON.

   • If the Compat LED is already ON, skip the next step.

3. Enable compatibility mode (if needed)

   • Press and hold the PROG button for 3 seconds.

   • LEDs will flash, and the Compat LED will turn ON.

4. Select channel – Turn the HEX dial (0-F) to the channel you want to use.

5. Enter learning mode – Press the Learn button – the Learn LED will begin flashing.

6. Pair a remote, keypad, or sensor

   • On the device, hold any button for about 7 seconds.

   • When the Learn LED stops flashing, the device is paired.

7. Test the connection – Make sure a 485 motor is powered and connected to one of the 485 ports.

Note: Pegasus can be plugged into a Janus, Suite 16 or Data Hub to control a RS-485 motor

Use the paired remote/device to test operation.

To learn more devices: Repeat steps 4-7 for each device (up to 16 total).

RTS to 485 Smart Receiver Setup #

Any valid RTS signal received will be converted and sent over the 485 bus – allowing another Pegasus (set up as an RTS Smart Transmitter) to retransmit up to 4000′ away.

1. Power up Pegasus – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus. Confirm the Local LED (red) is ON.

2. Set channel – Turn the HEX switch to Channel D.

3. Verify LED – Ensure the R.RX LED is ON and steady.

4. Connect data cable – Plug a CAT 5e or better (24AWG) cable into one of the 485 data ports.

485 to RTS Smart Transmitter Setup #

Any valid 485 Smart Receiver group message will be converted and transmitted as an RTS signal.

1. Power up Pegasus – Use the Terminal Block or 485 Bus. Confirm the Local LED (red) is ON.

2. Set channel – Turn the HEX switch to Channel C.

3. Verify LED – Make sure the R.TX LED is ON and steady.

4. Connect data cable – Plug a CAT 5e or better (24AWG) cable into one of the 485 data ports.

Factory Reset #

1. Press and hold – Press and hold both the Learn and Program buttons.

2. Wait for confirmation – Hold for about 3 seconds until all LEDs turn on.

This will:

• Erase all stored remotes and motors

• Reset modulation to Legacy

• Return Pegasus to Local mode
