4.4.2. Connect drives and devices
Connect drive groups
Each drive that must be controlled individually requires a group of its own. It is not pos-
sible to individually control drives that are connected in a group. Only drives with the
same function (only windows, only awnings, only blinds, only shutters) can be brought
together in groups.
Shades with different orientations (east, south, west) should be placed in different
groups. Only in this way can the shades be controlled appropriately according to the
position of the sun.
Drives can be kept in secure position by using safety contacts (multifunctional inputs).
Take note that a safety contactis
not
capable of preventing collisions (e.g. if an awning
is installed over a window).
The device works with 230 V alternating voltage 50 Hz. The input power is dependent
on the number and power of the connected motors.
Each drive outlet must have a maximum 400-watt load. The total installed input must
not however exceed approx. 1.5 kW. The output voltage is 230 V AC.
When motors are connected in parallel, take note of whether a group control relay is
prescribed by the manufacturer. Group control relays can be obtained from Elsner El-
ektronik or the motor manufacturer.
Various drives for blinds and awnings, in particular, can for the most part only be op-
erated via a group control relay on an output channel.
If motors are connected in parallel which are unsuitable for this
purpose, both they and the control unit will be damaged.
Motors with a higher power input than 400 Watt are to be operated via a relay or con-
trol gate with its own power cable.
For D.C. drives we offer appropriate power supply units. In case of need we ask for de-
tails of the motor type, the manufacturer and – if available – the technical data.
Connect devices to the multifunctional outputs
Heatings, air-conditioners, lights, ventilation devices, roof gutter heatings, dimmers or
alarm devices (e.g. alarm equipment in combination with a motion detector in a mul-
tifunctional input) can be connected to the multifunctional outputs.
The multifunctional outputs have a potential-free make contact which can be loaded
with 230 V AC/2 A.
