9 Basics of Shutters Schneider Electric- Division - Name – Date 3 approaches to shutter control ●Individual control ● Up-Down control of each blind/shutter: ●  Local control by a switch or directional push-button ● Group control ● Control of a group of blinds: ●  1 group control + individual control ● Centralised control ● Associate groups of blinds: ●  1 centralised control + group controls + individual controls. > Control methods

10 Basics of Shutters Schneider Electric- Division - Name – Date Individual control ●One control = One shutter ●Each shutter is controlled separately > Control methods (S1= Off) + (S2= Off)= No movement (S1= On) + (S2= Off)= Down (S1= Off) + (S2= On)= Up (S1= On) + (S2= On)= Impossible due to mechanical locking L N M S1 Up S2 Down OnOffOnOff = Mechanical switch S1S2 UPDown On OffOn Off PE Red circuit = Down Blue circuit = Up

13 Basics of Shutters Schneider Electric- Division - Name – Date Mechanical Push-Button and Switch What’s the difference? Push-button ●The shutters move up or down as long as the button is pressed until the shutter's internal limit switch is reached. ●Button released  The shutter stops immediately. Double rocker switch ●One press (pulse) on the first rocker  The rocker stays in position and the shutter moves up or down. ●Then you can: ●press again on the same rocker, in the opposite position  the shutter stops. ●press once on the opposite rocker  the first rocker returns to zero (mechanical lock) and the shutter moves in the other direction. > Control methods
