Setup Help

Choose the right power

The engine power must be selected according to the weight of the blinds - the weight is calculated after reading the dimensions of the height and width of the visible apron of the slats.

Apron weight estimation

width* x height* x (weight per m2 **)

* the measurement must be specified in meters

** estimated weight of the bar: PVC (4 kg/m2), aluminum (4.5 kg/m2), wood (11 kg/m2)

For example, a set of aluminum slats has dimensions of 1.2 x 1.5 m :
1.2 x 1.5 x 4.5 = 8.1 kg.You must choose an engine that matches the power capable of lifting at least 8.1 kg.Here is 10 Nm.

It is believed that 1 Nm supports 2 kg. Refer to the most suitable capacity.

Our advice: If the adaptation of a motor more powerful than necessary is not harmful, then on the contrary it can lead to irreversible failure, which is not guaranteed - Be sure to follow the recommendations to save the life of your motor.

Select adaptations

Your chosen set of devices will consist of a wheel and a crown . One allows the motor to control the axis during rotation, and the other counts the number of revolutions to mark a stop at the right place (stops).

The choice of devices should be made depending on the brand of the engine, its diameter and the shaft model. If it's a similar engine replacement, you don't need to purchase them. Otherwise, they are necessary.

The devices we have are compatible with octahedral axes with a diameter of 40 mm .

Choose suitable engine supports

Engine supports are also important . Attached to one of the side walls of the shutter casing (on the engine side), they serve to securely fix the motor/shaft/casing assembly.

Our choice takes into account compatibility with the selected engine head.
