Roller Shutter door connections?

[hursty]

Hi
I have been called to a job recently to install a up and down switch for a small roller shutter door. Motor and control unit all there but previous owner had ripped the switch out.
So just left with a few cables not connected to anything and empty connections.

I havent done a roller door like this only a garage door. But what im just asking is the actual connections for the wires. I have labelled connections L, N, (motor) - com, Door up and down, they look like spade type connections, but they arent, as they are a thin bit of metal with a hole in, almost looks like some connector slots down onto them?

If anyone could clear this out for me, would be very helpful.

Thanks

Sorry trying to figure how to upload a picture on here, anyone know?

That would be 'wicket' door.

That is what I put.... ;-)

Those doors are wicked though. I really like them.

Sorry, read it as 'wicker'.

It could be that a switch would be required, again it would depend on the size and type of the motor.
The OP States that this is a small roller shutter, as such, it is unlikely that there is a wicket door, if there is, it also unlikely that such a switch would be required.

I am no expert. There was an incident on a job near us where these switches were not fitted and as such the wicket door was allowed to go up with the main roller shutter. Obviously not right. The wicket door came off it's hinges and hit the bloke on the shoulder. How he was not seriously injured or killed is beyond me. During the investigation the lack of these safety switches was put down as the cause. I am unsure whether there was a prosecution.

If it moves and can injure persons, there must be safeties or fail safes in place to prevent movement.

Not going to go into the variations where safety switches are required at this time, I have to go out.
However common sense should be all that is required to work out when safety switches would or would not be required.
