SW10G - Sunscreen

Post by remcoploeg »

Hello,

I have bought a SW10G switch for my sunscreen. Now I have an issue; the sunscreen does have only 1 wire (black) for switching up and down. How can I use this switch?

thanks,

Remco Ploeg

Try posting more information about you sunscreen, then someone might reply with a solution.

Following information can be usefull: Brand, model, link to a datasheet, motor type (AC/DC), how did you control the sunscreen before.
Post some pictures of the sunscreen and the current controller.

A 230V AC power sunscreen/shade motor (outdoor) will have usually three wires one neutral (blue) en two black wires one for up and one for down
A 12-24V DC screen/shade motor Internal) has two wires - polarity will determine up or down direction

The SW10G has been design to operate directly with 230V AC motor - the two black wires will go to the label up and down and one neutral.
In case you have a DC motor you have to modify the SW10G will need two 230V relays to switch the polarity and also you will need a 12-24V power supply.

If you think it is a different story tell us we are interested to learn something new ...
