Mains switching
The WM-CUB is most commonly used with “mains switching blinds”. The six way terminal block is fed with permanent mains and has two switched mains outputs. A three core and earth cable should be run from the WM-CUB to the blind.
24V Polarity switching
The WM-CUB can also be used to control 24V polarity switching blinds. In this case a separate 24V power supply is required and a two core cable should be run from the WM-CUB to the blind.
Contact Closure
The WM-CUB can be used to provide a control signal to the blinds. In this case a 3 core cable is run from the WM-CUB to the blind control box.
