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 familiar 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 12/24 Vg power supply. The product label on the motor provides important information on the specifications of the motor specific to the blind.

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.
• Ensure that a 12 V or 24 V stabilized power supply line is available for the drive at the point of installation. The power supply line is suitably arranged and protected.
• 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 manufacturer to prevent damage or faults during operation caused by incompatible electrical components.
• Control devices (e.g. switches) must be installed in visible locations.
• 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.

Connect the motor as shown in the wiring diagrams.
