Electric Roller Shutters: Guidance on Installation, Wiring, and Control Systems

Question

Hello. I have a request for experts and connoisseurs of the subject. I want to install power + control for electric shutters in the house. Each roller shutter is opened and closed individually at the window, a switch and all roller shutters from the whole house controlled centrally from the...

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to go the extra mile and look for it yourself. Google doesn't bite. There are many group controllers, the manufacturer provides a connection diagram for each.
This can be done in several different ways, cheaper, more expensive, more and less complex.

I suggest using installation boxes with an electronics compartment in the place of the connector and in the window recess at the top. In such a box, you can leave a large supply of cable, the controller, and close the box with a cover and plaster, and then remove it, if necessary, without great damage. As for the topology of the installation, it should be a bus controlling the UTP 4x2x0.5 cable and power supply, e.g. OWY 3x1.5 between boxes with connectors and 4x1.5 between boxes with connectors and boxes at the windows. It is worth to separate a separate 230V power supply circuit for roller shutters in the switchgear, and even two circuits. In the place where you want to control centrally, add an additional box to the second switch. Lay the YTDY 8x0.5 cable between the shutter control panel and the alarm control panel.

From the control panel, between the roller shutters, line 5x1.5mm2 (on each floor separately) from the control box to the roller shutter black h07 4x0.75mm2 (with a fuse)

Not. From the 5x1.5 mm2 control panel to the first box next to the window and from this box to the next also 5x1.5 mm2 cable, etc., etc., up to the last shutter box. You do not need to run a separate line for each roller shutter from the control panel. With such wiring, you can insert buttons for central control anywhere. You have to use extra deep cans so that there is no problem with the installation of accessories.

Yes. Having a 5-wire bus, it can be connected to an alarm or by some application to remotely control the roller shutters.

You have a bigger spider web. Higher material and labor costs as well. With a single-family house, the distances are relatively short and the number of roller shutters is not so large as not to do it on one perimeter on the floor. If the building was very large and a very large number of roller shutters, then it would have to be counted.

From 5x1.5mm2 switchgear to a box with a central button. From the central button, two circuits of 5x1.5mm (ground floor, floor) from can to can. Install the boxes deep 70mm plus an additional 20mm distance. You can easily install drivers like Zamela, f & f.

I suggest going to the F&F website and reading about possible controls. There are diagrams and everything is explained.

Hello
I would like to prepare only the cabling and someday, if I am financially possible, I will expand the control. To begin with, the switch next to the window + wiring to the control panel, but what and how? I ask experts for a step-by-step explanation where what cables should I lead?

Added after 9 [minutes]:

Will something like this be the correct solution:
- 4-wire cable from the shutter to the box and a switch here
- 5-wire cable from the box to the control panel
- 3-wire cable to the control panel
and now in the control panel I connect the power supply (phase, N and PE) to all 5-wire cables from the roller blinds and this way I have control of the key of each roller blind - there are 9 of them.
- from each 5-core cable from the box, 2 free wires are left in the control panel - once to be used for goodies.

Cymiasty · Answer

Thanks.
I understand well:
- from the control panel to the box with the switch two twisted-pair cables - UTP 4x2x0.5 cable and the other power supply, e.g. OWY 3x1.5? is only a 5-wire enough - as I proposed
- from a box with a switch to a roller shutter 4 wires?

Cymiasty · Answer

Thank you very much for your help.
I will do such wiring:
From the control panel to each box with a button by the window, a 5x1.5 mm2 cable, and from each box to the roller shutter motor 4x1.5 mm2.
It should be enough and give the possibility of extending the control.

Thank you to my predecessors for their answers. If you have any other comments, it is appreciated.

Cymiasty · Answer

And why is 3x1.5 not enough from the 5x1.5 control panel to the first box and then between the 5x1.5 cans?

jann111 · Answer

To be able to control all roller shutters centrally. 3 wires are only power supply, the other two open / close all roller shutters. Your drawing is correct.

Cymiasty · Answer

How do I do the wiring according to your method, I control the blinds separately with a switch at the window and if I buy drivers for boxes, I can close all of them centrally, etc.?

Cymiasty · Answer

What is the difference of your solution with a separate 5 * 1.5 cable for each can? And not between 5x1.5 cans? What's better ?

Cymiasty · Answer

I will have 8 blinds - with your solution I will use less cable and with the so-called spider web for each roller blind the voltage will go along a separate cable, what's better?

jann111 · Answer

For the safety, comfort, operation and functionality of these roller shutters it does not matter, as long as it is done in accordance with the art.
And this is not my solution, the 5-wire bus is standard.
How are your sockets made?
Each separately for the switchgear or several on one circuit? I ask rhetorically.
A question of wallet and well-being.
I think everything is clear here.

Cymiasty · Answer

Feeling good - thank you worse with the wallet and I will probably use 5 wires from can to can. Several sockets on one circuit - and I will do the same with roller shutters. First, the switches themselves, and then we'll see. Thanks.

Added after 12 [minutes]:

Just to be sure:
From the switchgear, a separate wire on a separate circuit of 5 * 1.5mm to the first box with a switch.

Connection in the first box with the shutter switch:

1 wire N separated with a cube for a switch and another box
2 PE wire separated with a cube on the PE roller shutter and to the next box
3 phase wire, separated by a cube into a switch and to the next box
4 cable free through to the next box
5 free wire as above

and the same in subsequent cans. This connection will allow me to control each roller shutter separately with a switch, and after adding drivers to the boxes - additional goodies?

So from the switchgear to the central control box, then from can to box, etc. 5x1.5mm2. This is a one-story house and 8 shutters, I pull only one circumference of 5x1.5 mm and then how do you advise drivers, eg Zamela, f & f. But that's how cash will be for now buttons.

Cymiasty · Answer

I did this:
From 5x1.5mm2 electrical switchboard to a box with a central button. From the central 5x1.5mm button to the first box with the roller shutter switch up and down (sometime when the cash register is free, some drivers in cans) and so I connected all the cans among themselves. Then from each box a 4x1.5 mm cable to the shutter.
