- Protected against a jammed slide, auto-recovery
- Minimum number of open gates to prevent a vacuum
- Encrypted network communications, no internet connection
- Configuration backup with the SHUTR Connect™ app
Standalone usage
Using the gate standalone means that the wireless capabilities are not used
in any way. The gate is powered by a 24V DC 1.5 Amps power supply.
Activating the gate (i.e., opening and closing) can be done in two ways:
- By using the rocker switch on the gate
- By connecting a remote switch or relay to the auxiliary port on the gate with a 2-wire cable. Set the rocker switch on the gate to the AUTO position if the aux port is used. Open/close the gate by respectively connecting/disconnecting the two wires.
Fully automatic usage: Connect to a SHUTR Connect™ network
A SHUTR Gate can be included in a wireless SHUTR Connect network. A SHUTR
Controller is needed to set up the network. The gate can be connected with a
simple and straightforward pairing process using the pairing button of with
the use of the SHUTR Connect app. Please refer to the Installation Guide of
the SHUTR Controller for details on the manual pairing process.
Once part of a SHUTR Connect network, the gate offers the following options:
- Several ways to activate the gate simultaneously:
- Manually, with the rocker switch on the gate
- With an external switch or relay connected to the aux port of the gate
- Using a wireless SHUTR Sensor
- Using a wireless SHUTR Remote Control
- One or more gates can be paired together to form a logical group (a “series”)
- Once a gate is activated, the controller with which it is paired, will automatically switch ON the dust collector (if the controller is configured to do so, which is the default setting)
- One or more gate(s) can default be set to OPEN when the dust collector is in-active to prevent a vacuum when the dust collector is switched ON
Pairing SHUTR devices (gate, sensor, remote) with a SHUTR controller can be done manually with the pairing button or with the SHUTR App available for Apple iOS and Google Android. With the SHUTR Connect app, besides pairing, one can set a large variety of parameters that define the behavior of each individual gate and the controller. Please refer to the SHUTR Controller Installation Guide for more details.

Gate mounting instructions
The gate has been designed to connect to industry standard ducting with flat,
6mm flanges. Use lockrings that:
- accommodate both the thickness of the gate’s tubes (1mm) and the ducting thickness, and
- will galvanically connect the gate’s tubes and the ducting to ensure proper grounding without the need of additional grounding
The gate may be mounted in any position. There is no specific direction of the flow of air/dust. Mount the gate in such a way that the indicator LED is visible.
The antenna is located in the upper part of the electronics housing. If the gate is used as part of a SHUTR Connect network, make sure that the antenna is not obstructed by a thick wall, nearby ducting or other metal objects. It is best to have a line of sight between the electronics housing of the gate and the controller.
Support the connecting ducting: ****
- It must at all times be avoided that the gate carries the heavy load of a connecting tube or flexible tube. Too much load may impact the slide mechanism of the
- Always support the adjacent ducting within 50 cm on either side of the gate to prevent loads/strain on the gate itself!!!
Installing the gate
The SHUTR Gate has a special IP54 cable gland with a so-called split grommet. This grommet allows for cables-with-connector to be installed. This makes installations very easy and saves time.
To install cables in the cable gland, it is most efficient to stick to the following order:
-
Remove the cable cover by unscrewing the four bolts with a 3mm hex Allen key and keep the connector compartment open.
-
If you use the SHUTR Connect option you may want to do the pairing now (you can also do this once all components are installed).
Connect the gate to the 24VDC adapter.
Gather all gates, sensors, remotes and the controller on a table, power them up and do a quick manual pairing to set up the desired series or use the SHUTR Connect app -
Install the gate in your ducting
-
Disassemble the cable gland
Untighten the two top screws of the cable gland – but leave them in! No need to remove the body of the cable gland.- Unscrew the two screws on the front of the gland and remove the cap Slide out the split grommet
- A small blind stop is provided in case only one cable (the power supply cable) is installed. Otherwise, a maximum of two cables can be installed (aux cable for external switch or 5V USB-A for sensor power).
- Lead the 24V power supply cable (and optional aux cable) through the cable gland:
- Install the cable(s) in the grommet first and then lead the connectors through the opening of the cable cover
- Push the grommet back in – NOTE: once the grommet sits in the gland, the flat side of the grommet is at the front
- Leave only 4-5 cm of cable between the connector and the grommet
- Tighten the two front screws of the gland cap
- Lastly: tighten the two top screws of the gland body
- Close the Use a dummy plug if one cable entry is unused.
-
Connect the cable(s) to the gate
-
Mount the complete cable cover with cable gland back on the gates housing
Connections
-
Powering the gate
When planning for installation of the gates please take the following considerations into account:- A gate receives its power from a 24VDC/1.5Amps wall adapter. The supplied wall adapters come with a cable of 4 meters.
- It is not possible to run two gates from the same adapter
- Plan for sufficient wall outlets near the ducting system
- SHUTR sensors can both be powered from a 5V (USB-A) adapter or directly from a gate. The USB wall adapter, supplied with each sensor, has two USB- A ports so two sensors can be powered in order to minimize the number of required wall outlets as much as possible.
- Connecting the auxiliary port
The gate offers the ability to connect an external switch or relay (a potential free contact) to operate the gate. For this purpose, the gate is equipped with an auxiliary port – a 3.5mm mono jack plug receptacle – to connect the switch or relay.
It is advised to use a 3.5mm mono jack plug with screw terminals to connect the wires. The outside diameter of the 2-wire round cable can be 3.8 to 4.5mm in diameter to ensure proper sealing and strain relief in the cable gland of the gate.
Operations
-
Pairing/reset button
Stand-alone usage
If the gate is used standalone the pairing/reset button has no function except for the option to reset the gate to factory default after usage in a SHUTR Connect network.
SHUTR Connect network usage
For setting up a SHUTR Connect network, a SHUTR Controller is needed.
Pairing is the way SHUTR components are linked into series.
Use the pairing button to pair the gate to a series that may include other SHUTR devices such as sensor(s), remote(s), other gate(s) and the controller. Note that the rocker switch must be in the AUTO (A – middle) position to perform manual pairing using the pairing button.
Please refer to the SHUTR Controller Installation Guide for detailed information on pairing. -
Reset to default settings (erase all pairing information)
If you reset a component, or a component that is part of a series, this component
and all other components in that series will be reset. Once a component has been
reset, it is available again for pairing.
To reset a gate or sensor:- Set the rocker switch to OFF
- Press the button > 10 seconds
- After 10 seconds, the LED goes from RED to blinking YELLOW slowly
- Release the button, LED blinks YELLOW quickly
- Press the button AGAIN shortly within 5 seconds
- The component has now been reset and unpaired
- Not pressing the button again within 5 seconds will automatically cancel the reset
-
Reset to factory default
In addition to resetting to default settings, it is also possible to restore the originally factory installed firmware, perform the following steps to do so:- Unplug the gate from the power supply
- Keep the pairing/reset button pressed for >15 seconds while restoring power to the gate
- Release the button when the LED turns on again (WHITE or GREEN)
- The gate now runs the original factory firmware with default settings
Use this procedure only if a fatal crash causes the gate to not work anymore.
If you have updated the firmware before (using the SHUTR App), you will have to do so again in order to run the latest version of the SHUTR firmware.
Maintenance
To clear excess dust that is left behind in the gates housing if pushed
through by the slide, one can use compressed air. The gate has three openings
for this purpose. Use a compressed air nozzle to clear the housing from dust.
To clear dust from the seals inside the gate:
- Power up the gate first and OPEN the gate using the rocker switch
- Remove the power from the gate
- Unscrew the metal bottom cover of the gate (top cover carries the electronics housing)
- Take out the stack of silicone pressure seals and white POM seals and clear them of dust
(!) When re-installing the stack of seals, it is important to note the rounded sides of the white POM seals: they have to align in the middle as shown in the picture:

Diagnostics
Symptom | Possible cause and remedy |
---|
You want to start a manual pairing session on a gate or sensor but the LED
turns RED instead of WHITE| The rocker switch needs to be in the AUTO
position first. If it is in the CLOSE position, you start a reset sequence
instead, hencethe RED LED
The LED on the controller keeps flashing RED| Possible causes:
- A gate or sensor was unplugged (plug back in or, if the gate or sensor was unplugged intentionally, unplugthe controller from the mains and plug back in)
- A gate or sensor is unable to communicate
- The slide of a gate is stuck and went into fault mode
- There are not enough gates open to safely start the dust collector
Intermittent problems with communication|
- Check if the components are covered by metal or by a wall: this will negatively impact the transmission.
- Try to have a line of sight between the electronics housing of the gate and the controller as much as possible (flip the whole gate if its housing is “behind” its own metal body).
- For communication the SHUTR components all use Wifi frequency channel 1. This should not be a problem when there is an existing local Wifi network as they usually will switch to another channel automatically. If the problem persists, then try to manually set the Wifi channel of your local network to another channel then 1 on the router or access point.
- DECT wireless phone sets also work on the same frequency and maysometimes interfere with the Wifi signal
Unexpected reboot of a component|
- As the SHUTR components will most certainly be used in an industrial environment with heavy machines, it is possible that severe power spikes influence the electronics. Although filters have been installed, try to plug the wall mount adapter into a different power outlet
- Make sure that the metal housing of the gate is always grounded.
- Avoid ground loops, ground from a single point (preferably the dustcollector).
