Overview

The Roller blind module is hard wired to the mains power and uses wireless RF for the control communication. This module is only suitable for locating indoors however, it can control blinds which have a suitable rating that are located outdoors or in wet areas. It communicates using 433 MHz RF and is controlled through the Nova user interface when paired with a Smart Hub (COCBH).

Installation Guides

This product must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. Please note that there are many different blind motor brands, makes, and models available, but only a 4-wire motor design (containing a live wire, neutral wire, and two control wires) is compatible with the iZone Roller Blind Module. All roller blind motors must be fitted with mechanical stops, electronic stops will not work correctly.

If the roller blinds are to be run in parallel (more than one blind operated by a single iZone roller blind module) the motors used must be suitable for parallel configuration. If the motors are not suitable for parallel operation you will need to install one iZone roller blind module for each roller blind. You can still operate them as a single blind by grouping the iZone roller blind modules in the configuration menu.

Check with your roller blind supplier to ensure the motors you are using are correct. There are probably many more makes of blind motors that will work with the iZone module so please let us know if you successfully use a motor that is not listed above and we will add it to the appropriate section.

Single blinds ( Non parallel operation)

• Alpha WSS40
• ACMEDA Automate ML45
• Motolux 802133000 (MT35-6-28-240/50)

Multiple blinds ( Parallel operation of multiple blinds from a single iZone module)

• Becker motors – Model P5-30-E12 Motor
• Motolux 802131000 (MT35P-6-28-240/50)

Physical Installation

1. Isolate the mains power before starting any work.
2. Remove the bidirectional relay module from its packaging.
3. Verify that the roller blind motor is a compatible 240V four-wire motor with mechanical stops.
4. Remove the terminal cover and terminate the roller blind motor wiring as shown on the module casing.
5. If multiple roller blind motors support parallel operation, they may be connected to a single module up to a maximum load of 5A.
6. If the roller blind motors do not support parallel operation, install one CACRB module for each blind.
7. Mount the module in a suitable indoor location, such as the roof space.
8. Ensure the antenna is tightened and pointing vertically upwards.
9. Restore power and test the roller blind using the manual Up / Down / Stop button.
