Installing Roller Shutter 2 on motor screen

Christoph shared this question 7 years ago
Need Answer

Hi guys,


I bought a Z-Wave Roller Shutter (Fibaro Roller Shutter 2) to control my motor screen (someone told me that should work). Now I'm really unsure how I need to install that thing between the motor and the steering case. I attached a pic of the steering case. Wire going up is to motor, going down is to power.

as far as my "electric skills" goes: green/yellow is the ground, brown and blue are power and neutral. What is black?

And how do I wire that up with the roller shutter? :D


Thanks a lot.

Well, on the top right it says motor, d, u. This means that the brown and blue going up are the leads you probably need: D=down, U=up. motor (black) is probably power supply to the motor. now what is the purpose of this device on the picture? Cause I'm thinking whether you will still need this device if your controller will become the fibaro roller 2. I guess not.


Unfortunately I'm not electrician but this is what my logic tells me.

Actually there is also a green going up to the motor and also on the right corner of the picture a white covered cable going somewhere...

Hi Atilla,

Thanks for your Feedback. I made another Foto for You and checked The writing.

1-2 are Earth (Green/yellow) as thought.

3-4 is power (Blue/Brown) going down to The power

5 says COM (Black)

7-8 is as You Stated Motor up/down

The Device is to Control The Motor. It has up/down/stop Buttons. It is also The Receiver for a 433 MHz Remote.

Do You have any idea Where to Connect what at The Roller shutter? ;)

Well. I don't know if it is something that you can use in parallel with the fibaro module. I think the fibaro would replace this module so you will not have 433MHz control anymore. There are Zwave remotes anyway so it should not matter.

For a try what you can do is cut the up and down cables and connect them to fibaro. Then get another source (like from a different plug) L and N connected to the fibaro and try...

That does make Sense indeed ;)

Guess I'm going to try that later.


So power goes to L and N on The fibaro Right?

And The up/down for The Motor q2 and q1 I assume?

Yes. Hence why you can try to supply power from a different source for trying and you would only cut cable for the up down functions.

If it works, you can disconnect this module for good.

didn't work like that. Would have been too easy ;)


Thanks anyway

hi,


i saw your image and draw a diagram for you. i think it should work

Okay, that seems to make sense :D

I'll try that later.

Could you answer me another question: is it possible to use that only with the Fibaro? So to leave away the original controller? Would save some space :D


If yes, maybe you could write me another diagram? :)


Thanks a lot!! :)) Very helpful :)

You need to see which cable is the supply. The four cables are black(common or neutral) yellow/green (ground/earth) blue down and brown up(though this can depend on the rotation of motor). The fibaro module should be used on the supply power side. It will then feed the inputs into the pcb (motor).

Did I kill the Roller Shutter now? I did connect everything as it should, don't work.

I deleted the Roller Shutter from the my.zipato and removed everything only leavin blue and brown from the power cord to N and L... even with that config the zipato does not find the Roller Shutter...


why?

Okay, got it to work after a few hours... 2nd problem was, that the Roller Shutter did not fall back to auto inclusion even after a complete reset. And the B-button then broke (at least the platic housing around it). Have to bypass that stuff :D

In the end it worked :)
