The FTS is a complete system. It comprises two FTS actuators, a control unit and accessories needed for installation (brackets,
adaptors, etc.) and operation (control system).
The FTS is suited to horizontal protection installations that require optimised tension of the fabric.
The control is performed using a double push button or a sun/wind automatic function or radio remote controls, etc.
Function
The principle of the FTS system is of a fabric placed between two motorised roller tubes that is held under tension at all
times when being rolled and unrolled. The first actuator is located in the roller tube of the fabric, the second is in the roller
tube of the strap. The tension of the fabric is regulated by the FTS control unit. Tis unit sends the tension commands to the
actuators. The control unit has two types of fabric tension: dynamic tension that lasts the duration of the unwinding and the
final tension after the actuators have stopped, at the end limit or following a "stop" command.
