Description

The 

Motor control unit IMSG230 compact

 enables the automatic and manual

control of the drives for blinds or windows. Commands issued at the main input (on/
off) have priority. Switches, clocks etc. can be connected there. The control system
Solexa, Solexa II, Arexa, WS1 or WS1000  are also suitable as  main control stations. 

For the manual operation of the drive, dual push-buttons are used. 

Functions: 

Output  for  a 

230 V AC drive

 (Up/Down)

Use as a 

central, group and single controller

Central input

 up/down 230 V (with priority) e.g. for switches, control system 

Solexa, Solexa II, Arexa, WS1 or WS1000 

Setting the central control unit to "Dead man" or "Lock". As long as voltage is 
present at the central input, the manual operation is blocked

Manual operation

 by connecting an unlocked double push-button to the 

Input "Local".
Push-button timer automatic: Inching mode (press for less than 1 second):

Installation and start-up

2.1. Installation notes

Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should 
only be performed by an electrician.

DANGER!
Risk to life from live voltage (mains voltage)! 

There are unprotected live components within the device.

VDE regulations and national regulations are to be followed.

Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take
precautions against accidental switching on.

Do not use the device if it is damaged. 

Take the device or system out of service and secure it against
unintentional use, if it can be assumed, that risk-free operation is no
longer guaranteed.

The device is only to be used for the intended purpose described in this manual. Any
improper modification or failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and
all warranty and guarantee claims.

After unpacking the device, check it immediately for possible mechanical damage.
If it has been damaged in transport, inform the supplier immediately.

The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when
assembled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and
only in the surroundings designated for it.

Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may
occur after publication of these operating instructions.

2.2. Safety notice for automatic functions

WARNING!
Risk of injury from automatically moving components!

Parts of the system can be started by the automatic controls
and be a danger to persons.

No persons may remain in the travelling range of parts
driven by an electric motor.

•  Adhere to the relevant building regulations.

Ensure that the return path/access to the building is not blocked
if spending time outside the building (danger of being locked out).

Correctly decommission the system for maintenance and 
cleaning work.

If there is a power outage, the system does not work. Therefore, shadings should be
moved to a save position if there are anticipated weather conditions, for example, if
this has not already been done by the automatic function (product protection). 

If the power supply is removed, the connected drive switches off. When the power
is restored, the consumer remains switched off until a new movement command is
received by the actuator.
