Motor Operating Systems Home Automation Operation

A Home Automation Systems(HAS) is a microprocessor controlled operating system that is programmed to allow you to

operate various electrical appliances in your home from one master controller.

e.g. Burglar alarms, lighting, entertainment, garden watering & air conditioning systems, blinds, curtains & awnings

The use of an iPhone, iPad or other portable device as a master controller is becoming popular so the HAS can be

operated away from the home when people are away.

In addition to 240 volt power cables, separate special 5 volt, low voltage, twisted pair cabling is required, and in most

cases the HAS wiring is installed at the time a new house is built.

MotorMax motors have a separate HAS cable port & optional data cable

Well known manufacturers of HAS are;

C-Bus

Dynalite

Crestron

X10 & A 10 (Wireless system - tends to be D.I.Y. & not compatible with MotorMax)

• Home Automation is usually installed by two (2) separate companies

– An electrician to run & connect the wires

– A 3rd party programmer to write the software, test & commission (CHECK)

• The customer needs to be made aware that they are responsible for checking

the wires are connected correctly, interlocking relays are installed (to

prevent the blind motor being accidentally programmed to operate up & down

at the same time) & software is correct – any damaged to blinds or motors as a

result of Home Automation malfunctions will Void Warranty.

• On installation our installer will test the operation of each blind & check the top

& bottom limits are set correctly using a test lead connected into the Molex

connector & an RTS transmitter

• Strongly recommend a letter be sent to the customer advising of precautions to

be taken using Home Automation & special Warranty conditions.

• In most cases it is simpler to keep the motorised blinds separate to the Home

Automation system & just use a Multi Channel Transmitter with Group Control

programming functions.

Important Information Electrical safety

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• It is important for the safety of persons to follow these instructions, as incorrect installation can lead to severe injury. Keep these

instructions for future reference.

• Electrical work must be installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with current safety regulations and these instructions

• Before installing the system, remove any unnecessary cords and disable any equipment not needed for powered operation.

• The motor must not be subject to crushing, impact, dropping or contact with any kind of liquid. Do not puncture or penetrate any part

of the motor housing.

• The motor has been designed for the automation of Roman & roller blinds in residential and commercial environments; any other

use is considered improper and is not recommended.

• The supply cable attached to the system can not be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the appliance must be returned to after sales

department in order to avoid danger.

• Before carrying out any form of maintenance, switch off the power to the motor.

• Use only approved accessories, such as power leads, brackets and transmitters.

Important Information Draft Letter for Customers Using Home Automation

Dear xxxxxxx

RE: Connection of Motors to the Home Automation System

Thank you for choosing Our Company to supply Motorized Blinds or your new home

The specification for the Blinds at the above address is that they be connected to the Home Automation System. The purpose of this letter is to outline the requirements for connecting any

motors used in the Blinds to the Home Automation System.

Whilst it is physically possible to wire motors directly into Home Automation System this should not be done. We recommend that motor manufacturer’s controllers designed specifically to allow

control of Motors by a Home Automation System be installed.

These controls ensure that the motor is correctly switched and give the following functionalities:

No possibility of an Up and a Down power feed at the same time. An Up and a Down power feed simultaneously will lead to failure of the motor.

Correct Operation of the Limit Switch of the Motor. This ensures the motor only runs to preset positions. Failure of a limit can lead to damage to the Blind/Awning.

Time out function. After three minutes the power supply to the motor is automatically cut. This increases the lifespan of the motor whilst still allowing enough time for the blind/awning to run

through its full drop/extension.

Parallel Wiring: Under no circumstances must motors be wired in parallel i.e., more than one motor connected to a relay.

Should the building specification require that motors be switched off one relay in a group operation then a motor manufacturers “Motor Group Controller” must be used.

Motors wired in parallel will lead to failure of the motor and possible damage to the Blind/Awning and is not covered under warranty.

To ensure many years of trouble free operation of your motors Our Company requests that your Home Automation System Electrician / Integrator use proprietary controllers in your new home

Our Company would also like to take this opportunity to request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter and attached technical information supplied to Our Company by the motor

manufacturer and that this technical information will be forwarded to the Home Automation System Integrator and Electrician.

Should the Home Automation System Integrator and Electrician choose not to use the recommended motor manufacturer’s controllers Our Company takes no responsibility for the operation of,

or any subsequent failure or damage to either, the motors or the Blinds that are controlled through the Home Automation System.

Should you require any further information on any of the above please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,

Xxxxxx xxxxxx

I acknowledge that I have received this letter and attached technical information and fully understand and accept the information contained herein.
