Home / Building Automation Systems and other devices often control curtain motors by Live 110 – 230Vac, to open or to close. This is suitable for synchronous AC motors, like tubular motors. Switching Live AC to the first winding of the motor will turn the motor one way. Switching Live AC to the second winding will turn the motor the other way. The motor is also powered by this Live AC voltage. This configuration needs 3 wires.
The Forest Shuttle® motor is not suited to be controlled directly through Live AC. For this reason, Forest has developed an “AC control set”. This is used when your control device can only operate on 110Vac or 230Vac to operate a curtain motor. The AC control set consist of two units: Primary unit: is only used when 3 wires/conductors are installed instead of 4, between the control device and the Shuttle® motor. This unit converts the two Live control wires to one single control wire. Secondary unit: this unit will convert the Live control (single or double) wire(s) into potential free contact for the Shuttle® motor.
*4 (+1 earth PE) wires/conductors:**
Only secondary unit is used (as potential free relay)
When an power outlet or other constant Live and Neutral are available near the Shuttle®, the motor can also be powered directly from the outlet. The power plug, attached to the secondary unit, can then be removed.
*3 (+1 earth PE) wires/conductors:**
The mains power cable for Shuttle® is no longer required.
For the Shuttle S and M (receiver) the external power supply still needs to be
used.
- The motor must be installed by an installer who is qualified in motorized systems. Installation must be done according to local regulations. Make sure to turn off mains power when installing the units. Earth wire (yellow/green) can never be used as replacement for Live, Neutral or control wire. To ensure safety, the primary unit needs to be mounted in a distribution box, like this:
Dry contact inputs of the FOREST SHUTTLE®
Standard input for the Shuttle® motor is pulse contact. When a short contact
is made the curtain will open or close fully (default setting). The motor does
not stop on release of the contact.
Set the Shuttle® to continuous mode. The motor will run as long as the
contact is made.
For
Shuttle® S, L and M receiver: press button 6 times shortly. Light will jump to
next LED with every press. To confirm, press and hold once more for 4 seconds
until the led blinks 3 times and goes OFF:
