FOREST 5201002202 Potential Free Relay Secondary Unit
INTRODUCTION
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.
Conductors
4 (+1 earth PE) wires/conductors
Only a secondary unit is used (as the potential free relay)
When a 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 main 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®
The 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 the button 6 times shortly. Light
will jump to the next LED with every press. To confirm, press and hold once
more for 4 seconds until the led blinks 3 times and goes OFF:

It is important for the safety of persons to follow these instructions. Keep
these instructions for future reference. Do not use the product for any other
purpose than intended. In order for the Forest Shuttle® AC CONTROL SET to
function correctly and safely, the complete curtain system must be assembled
with original parts and devices of Forest Group Nederland B.V. This includes
all components of the curtain track and power supply adaptor.
