Technology today makes our lives simpler and safer. One of the key elements of security is roller shutters. And to control all your shutters conveniently, a single button press is all it takes thanks to group control.

In this article we want to share detailed instructions for connecting group control. To demonstrate the process more clearly, we have prepared a video.

Step-by-step guide to connecting group control

Before you begin the installation, make sure you have all the necessary equipment.

What you will need:

1. Group controller AC405-01
2. Remote-control signal receiver AC231-01
3. Installation tools

Step 1: Preparing for installation

Before you start, switch off the power. Get all the components, tools and instructions supplied with your group control ready.

Step 2: Mounting the signal receiver

To connect the signal receiver, first remove the cover and loosen the terminal clamps. Power is supplied to the central block with three clamps. You need to connect the live and neutral wires to the first two inputs, with the earth on the third.

The section on the left is responsible for generating the control signal; it will need to be connected to the controller with a cable. Connect the black wire to the first input and the brown wire to the second. Connect the neutral, the blue wire, to the fourth. The third contact is the earth.

We use cables with a specific colour coding. If your coding differs from ours, carefully match up the wire colours.

Step 3: Connecting the group controller

Next, take the control wire coming from the receiver and connect it to the three-contact section on the left.

Insert the wires into the terminals in the following order: black, brown and blue. Tighten the terminal bolts with a screwdriver. This connects the control circuit between the receiver and the controller.

Connecting the power

Connect the 220V power cable to the three-contact section on the right. The first two clamps are the live and neutral, the third is the earth.

Connecting the motors

Connect the cables coming from the motors to the controller in the following order: black, brown, blue and yellow-green. Black and brown are the control wires, blue is the neutral and yellow-green is the earth.

Step 4: Configuration and testing

First, we need to clear all the settings on the receiver. To do this, press and hold the button on the left of the receiver housing. The indicator light will come on several times, and when it starts flashing, release the button and press it once more.

To pair the remote, press this button again and press the "up" button on the remote. If the indicator light flashes blue, everything is correct.

Once paired, make sure everything works properly. Test the shutter controls with the remote and confirm that they respond correctly to commands.

Version with a rocker switch

We also decided to show how to connect group control of the shutters using a rocker switch. The wiring diagram is the same as the previous one, except that instead of the receiver we connect a mechanical switch.

Take the control wire on the controller (the one we connected to the receiver) and connect it to the switch as follows: clamp the brown and black control wires into the terminals on the sides, and connect the live wire to the centre. Make the neutral common (join the neutral to the power wire). Insulate everything.

Before connecting, it is best to double-check that the contacts are wired correctly and compare against our video guide.

What if I want to connect group control for more shutters?

If you need to connect more than four roller shutters, we suggest linking the required number of group controllers together into a single circuit. To do this, duplicate the control and power connections on the second controller: join the terminals on the two controllers with a cable.

Next, connect the shutter motors to the second controller.

Now the signal will be sent to all the shutters at once.

Once all the components are connected and tested, make sure they are securely fastened and safely installed.

Now that you know how to connect group control for roller shutters, all that remains is to order the necessary equipment. Remember that when carrying out work like this, it is important to follow the instructions and, if needed, consult a specialist.
