Basics of Shutters


Customer benefits?●Improve comfort & make consumers' lives easier

●Prevent people from hard work or awkward movements

●Avoid having to get up (remote control)

●Avoid opening windows (when it 's cold out or when it' raining and for elderly or disabled people who have difficulty moving)

●Save energy by improving thermal insulation ●Protection against heat & sun in daytime

●Protection against cold at night

Reduce heating or cooling time.

●Programmes for opening/closing when you want.

Our technologies ●Shutters can also be controlled by external sensors

●Wind measurement ● Shutters protected from violent gusts of wind

●Rain control● Automatic closing if rain is detected

●Brightness● Comfort enhanced by lowering blinds or shutters if light is too bright

●Darkness● Safety enhanced by automatic closure when night falls

●Time-switch● Comfort and safety enhanced by systematic opening / closing at a set time

Basics of Shutters


3 approaches to shutter control●Individual control

● Up-Down control of each blind/shutter:● Local control by a switch or directional push-button

● Group control● Control of a group of blinds:

● 1 group control + individual control

● Centralised control● Associate groups of blinds:

● 1 centralised control + group controls + individual controls.

> Control methods

10

Basics of Shutters


Individual control●One control = One shutter

●Each shutter is controlled separately

> Control methods

(S1= Off) + (S2= Off)= No movement(S1= On) + (S2= Off)= Down(S1= Off) + (S2= On)= Up(S1= On) + (S2= On)= Impossible due to mechanical locking

Group control principle●Each shutter is controlled by:

●Group control

● Individual control

●External sensor

●Time switch

●Suitable for ●a room with several shutters

(living room, open spaces, etc.)

●a group of rooms

●a floor or a wing of a building…

Basics of Shutters


Mechanical Push-Button and SwitchWhat’s the difference?Push-button●The shutters move up or down as long as the

button is pressed until the shutter's internal limit switch is reached.

●Button released The shutter stops immediately.

Double rocker switch●One press (pulse) on the first rocker The rocker

stays in position and the shutter moves up or down. ●Then you can:

● press again on the same rocker, in the opposite position the shutter stops.

●press once on the opposite rocker the first rocker returns to zero (mechanical lock) and the shutter moves in the other direction.

Types of motors●230 V AC Motor

(wall windows, doors)●Integrated limit switches S1 & S2

to stop Up and Down movements

● Integrated protection

●To go Up, send 230 V AC on Up line

●To go Down, send 230 V AC on Down line

● In this case, 3 wires out of the motor + PE

● Integrated protection

●To start the motor: Send + DC.

●To change direction, cross polarities

● In this case, 2 wires out of the motor + PE

Our technologies ●How to install a brightness sensor

●For sun protection, place brightness sensors on the South and West sides of the building, which are exposed to the sun

●How to install wind controlWe recommend the installation of a wind

sensor:

●For general control, on the roof or on the windiest side

●For awning protection, close to the shutter

●The conversion unit can be mounted outdoors (IP55) or indoors.

Basics of Shutters



Temperature: the brightness sensor controls closing/opening when it's too hot. In the morning, I'm often in a rush to get to work: the time switch opens the shutters automatically!At night, I secure/optimise the temperature of my house. The time-switch closes my shutters automatically even if I am still out.The astro function optimises open/close operations wherever I live!
