Hi I am doing a roller shutter and there is a 4 core cable coming out of motor brown black neutral and earth,I am a sparks myself and was just wondering there is a key switc going on aswell can you help never done one before.

.G.

I haven't fitted one before but I've opened up the keyswitch on one and it had the 4 cores as you describe. One cable for forward and one for reverse+ neutral and earth.

Yea I will put the four core in a jb and run strapers to key switch thx for your reply

you'll need at least 4 cores to the key switch,

1 = earth
2 = supply live
3 = forward/up live
4 = reverse/down live

its pretty easy basically the key switch has a common, L1, L2 connection.

so key switched one direction makes the contact common to L1 and key switched the other way makes the contact common to L2.

so your connections would be

earth to earth terminal
supply live to common
forward/up to L1
reverse/down to L2

Hello,

I am interested in having such a device for my myndows at home but I cannot find where to buy them or anyone that could install them.
Any places to recommand ? I live in Dublin in case this helps.

Thanks !

You need power at every window if your going to do it between labour and parts it would be expensive,if u want to push on I would contact any blind company for a price.

Blinds are very different from roller shutters!
