If you wish to install an electric roller shutter, be aware that such installation requires a minimum of electrical knowledge.
Installing an electric roller shutter
To make this installation, you have the choice between two solutions:
either buy an engine kit, which you will have to install on your shutter
either purchase an already motorized renovation shutter block
In both cases, you will have to make electrical connections. You will need to pay particular attention to the following:
Before installation, make sure to disconnect the power supply.
installation must comply with NFC 15-100. This standard makes it possible to protect the electrical installation but also the people.
What power for an electric roller shutter?
That said, you must comply with power standards. For a roller shutter, this concept is twofold.
In electricity, power is the product of voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes).
Knowing the power, voltage and amperage makes it possible to make the right connections but also to install the right fuses on the electrical panel. Fuses protect an electrical circuit against overcurrents or short circuits.
For example, a remote control motor kit has 120 watts of power and 0.53 amperage.
But power is also measured in Nm (newtons per meter). The higher the weight of the door leaf, the greater the power Nm will be. For example, a 10 Nm motor can lift a flap of 15 Kg
Successful connections
Your installation can accommodate an electrified shutter, you have added a fuse (respecting the amperage) on your electrical panel.
All you have to do is make the connections. A detailed manual will explain in pictures how to connect the wires, green, yellow or black. You will also discover the different settings to make.
