Connecting the blinds (only for powered blinds)
The electrical power supply must be connected by a qualified electrician
who has demonstrated skill and knowledge related to the construction
and operation of electrical equipment and installations, and who is famil-
iar with the applicable regulations of the country in which the equipment
is to be installed and/or used, and has received safety training to identify
and avoid the hazards involved.
The powered blinds are available for a connection to a 12 Vg, 24 Vg, 110 Vw or
230 Vw power supply. The product label on the motor provides important informa-
tion on the specifications of the motor.
The following notes must be observed when connecting the blinds:
• Ensure cables are not damaged during installation. Routings of cables through
walls or bulkheads must be protected and insulated by appropriate bushing,
grommets or cable conduits.
• The product must be connected to the correct power supply as specified on the
product label. The motor in the product is designed to cut out when a set current
is exceeded but the supply should be fused to protect the wiring to the product.
• Secure all cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.
• Only use power supply units and control elements recommended by the manu-
facturer to prevent damage or faults during operation caused by incompatible
electrical components.
• Control devices (e.g. switches) must be installed in visible locations.
• Ensure that the power supply line is suitably arranged and protected.
• One regulated power supply of the required specification is required per motor
as failure to do so may cause the motor to function improperly.
• Any adjustment of set stop positions should only be made using the method
specified for the motor type to avoid damage to the motor.
Notes on connecting DC motors
• Ensure that a 12 V or 24 V stabilized power supply line is available for the drive at
the point of installation.
• Observe the cross section for cables:
– Motor cable: 0.5 mm
If the power supply unit is installed in a distance of more than 0.5 m, the cross
section must be adjusted to avoid a voltage drop of more than 3 %.
– Switch cable: 0.13 mm
