7.1b) Standard Limit Motors  

 

General:

  Electrical Habitat Screen units are operated by tubular motors housed inside the unit's shaft at one 

end.  The motor can be located by looking for the wires leading to the Habitat Screen unit.  Each motor has 
two internal limit switches.  The function of the "upper" limit switch is to cut off power to the motor when the 
unit has reached the completely rolled-up position.  The function of the "lower" limit switch is to cut off power 
to the motor when the unit has reached the completely rolled-down position.  Since every Habitat Screen unit 
is different it is necessary to adjust the limit switches according to the following instructions. 
 

Limit Setting Instructions Steps

 

1.

 

Locate the Limit adjustment buttons on the head of the motor. (see diagrams below) 

2.

 

Using the tester cables or switch, operate the unit up until curtain stops at the temporary UP limit (set 
by Talius).  

3.

 

Unlock the UP limit switch on the motor by pressing the appropriate button down and releasing it. The 
button will stay pressed in.  

4.

 

Run curtain up to new desired UP limit and stop.  

5.

 

Press down and release the button again so that the button pops up. This will lock in the new UP limit 
position.  

6.

 

Run unit downwards until curtain stops at the DOWN limit (set by Talius) and adjust if necessary using 
the other limit adjustment button.  

7.

 

Unlock the DOWN limit switch on the motor by pressing the appropriate button down and releasing 
it. The button will stay pressed in.  

8.

 

Run curtain down to new desired DOWN limit and stop.  

9.

 

Press down and release the button again so that the button pops up. This will lock in the new DOWN 
limit position.  

10.

 

Test unit to ensure the unit stops automatically where you wish it to.
