Motorised and Ready: the integral world of roller shutter end-of-run systems

The end-of-stroke element of a roller shutter motor brings us comfort in the home, thanks to its internal mechanism the shutter will stop at the exact moment we want it to and that we have previously configured. If you want to know how it works, read on! We will answer all your questions.

What is a roller shutter motor limit switch and what is it used for?

The term end-of-career refers to the device that is installed inside the shutter motors in its automation. This element has several functions:

The first of these is measuring the distance that the roller shutter travelsand then stop its trajectory at the desired point.

The second of these is ensure the correct operation of roller shuttersThe sealing of the window is ensured correctly and completely, thus preventing the passage of light or any other extraneous factor.

Shutter motor limit switch adjustment

It is important to regulate and check the end of the motor's stroke in order to ensure that the system works perfectly and that there is no indication that the system could fail. If there are any faults in any of the points, they must be remedied promptly. In this way, safety and functionality standards will continue to be respected. If you want to know the main faults and errors in roller shutter motors you can check this post.

The steps to regulation are very simple, we will tell you about them below:

1. Release the shutter from the frame to check that the motor is installed correctly and performs its function of raising and lowering to the indicated point.
2. Clean the engine so that it is free of any dirt or obstruction.
3. Turn the motor by pressing the down button until the end of its travel, then proceed to raise it by pressing the strap to register the movement.

Finally, the engine has been registered with the end of the race.

Up and down limit switch hole identification

For the correct identification of the up and down limit switch bores we must look exclusively at the dates indicated in these holesThe arrows are not the position or colour of these, as this can lead to errors. Each arrow corresponds to the hole next to it.

Programming of roller shutter limit switches

To program the limit switches, i.e. the maximum positions reached by the shutter path, you will need to use the remote control.

To adjust the limit switch at the top, press the keys MY and UP. To configure the specific point, press MY at the desired time and then press the UP key.

The same happens when we want to set the end of stroke at the bottom, by pressing the keys MY and DOWNThe movement is stopped at the appropriate point with MY and the movement is recorded again with the DOWN key.

Conclusion

The device installed internally in the motor of our roller shutter is the limit switch, thanks to it we can configure the exact point to which we want to lower and raise our shutter. The configuration is quite simple.

Remember to look at the arrows on the holes, never at the colour or position, as this can lead to confusion.
