#Operating concepts for shades

Here you set the type of operation used to move roller shutters, blinds, awnings or other hangings.
If **Shutter/blind** is selected, you should distinguish between a long and short button press.

* Short button press: The device transmits the command **Step** or **Stop** over the bus through the corresponding communication object (step).
* Long button press: The device transmits a motion command **Up/down** over the bus through the corresponding communication object (move). 

5 different operating concepts can be selected for controlling blinds and hangings. Telegrams are sent to the bus with a different time sequence. 
If the **Hager/Berker Behaviour** specially developed for Hager actuators is selected, additional security positions can be configured for the blinds:

* Secured up
* Secured down
* Secured up /down/stop

Secured function means, that as long as the button is being pressed the shutter/blind moves. As soon as the button is released the shutter/blind stops. Used f. e. in a swimming pool cover.
