Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What size Panels can I operate with the Remote Control?

There are a lot of variables so it is fair to say we need to look at the opening and shutter requirements to anser definitively. We use a rule example for the Classic 90 blade intended for internal location, of 15 blades high and max of 700mm wide panel will need one motor. Or 10 blades high and max of 1000mm wide. Two motors would be fitted if required, usually fitted top and bottom of panel completely hidden way. The motors operate through one intelligent board and one power supply.

What size Blades can I operate with the Remote Control?

We can operate all sizes of blades conditional upon the blade mass rule. We have different rated motors and suites of frames to suit the blade choice.

Is motorization suitable for an internal or external use?

Both, we can supply and fit both Internal and External Shutters. and mount the receiver in wetaher proof unit under teh eaves or more coneviently inside the house. The 10nM system which we sue on 200mm blade sizes and above is provided in the new RF technology.

How many motors will the one Remote Control operate?

One motor at the top and one at the bottom of frame is easy for us, it gets a little complicated if we need to put the motor at a mid rail position as well. One remote sender can talk to both motors so that the operation is seamless.

What is IR (Infra Red) Remote Control?

Infra Red transmittal is a system used in most TV Cable remotes. Its draw backs are the limited distance to communicate and the need to aim the remote directly at the unit. The sun can confuse the signal therefore it has some issues working well outside.

Can I wire this system to smart home technology?

Yes it can be integrated with Smart House or BMS technology. We use RF remotes which have far more intelligence on board. The advatages of RF are that the remote does not need to be dirctly in sight of the unit to communicate, is suited to hard wired systems, suited to external installations and can control up to 10 motors similtaneously.

What sort of batteries are required?

The battery type is known as SLA is is quite a large thin battery which houses within the top or bottom rail. The battery is the type used in TV cameras used by the networks. It is rechargeable via a small wall plug.

This is pioneering technology for Shutters this appears to be a great new product?

Our Company is at the cutting edge of Shutter actuation innovation. We currently have 27 separate patents associated with shutters and ther operation and design.

Can the remote system be used in the Shutter Gard range?

Unfortunately not, there are a number of complex components within the Shutter gard panels that restrict motor and contollers.

Can I install the remote control shutters myself?

Yes you can install the battery operated system quite simply as you can with our full range of shutters and louvres. A qualified electrician must hardwire the RF system, but all other parts to the job are made simple for a keen handyperson.

What will be the cost of your remote control shutters?

The approximate price current`2007)` starts at $150.00 per motor for IR systems and a little more for RF. You need to consider then add the power source. It is very affordable compared to say the Somfy System.
