Roller Shutter Limit Switches

[itdontgo]

Hi,

Does anyone have a wiring diagram of a typical roller shutter limit switch config. My shutter is working but I would like to see what the switches are actually telling the board. I could get a ladder out and measure the voltage on the screws but a nice diagram would be better ;-)

Open the board up and test from there ?

Yeah that's up a ladder too. I might do that anyway as I want to fit a new controller at the same time.

If you're not a professional roller shutter installer I'd be wary of replacing/altering/retrofitting any kind of shutter limit switches. Many shutters have safety features built in to prevent injury when someone gets trapped under the door, if you tamper with the controls or switches you may inadvertently leave the shutter in a dangerous condition and be liable for any injuries caused.

Whatever the common practice is I still would stand by my previous caution. Link

What sort of shutters do you work on make of motor and starter will help are the limits mechanical or digital all different types

They will be the fitters mate next time you see one of the dummy's ask him if you can look at his ecs card most door firms now try and force fitters to do the electrics and not hire a spark I sub contract to 3 door firms as a spark
