Setting up protective roller blinds with mechanics and automation

When it comes to protective roller shutters on the windows and doors of your property, it's important to think through the control system in advance. Proper setup will ensure your shutters work flawlessly and last a long time. In this article, we'll explain in detail how to set up mechanical and electric roller shutters, and discuss the importance of limit switches.

Setting up mechanical roller shutters

Mechanical roller shutters are set up in three main stages:

1. Winding the spring: use a special shaft and wind the spring onto it, making several turns. Make sure the spring is securely fastened.
2. Attaching the shutter curtain to the shaft: the shutter curtain must be attached to the shaft. Remove the stops.
3. Checking the curtain rises fully: make sure the shutter curtain rises all the way to the top. If necessary, adjust the number of shaft turns to reach the desired position.

Roller shutters with a winch drive are simple to set up:

Winding the curtain: simply wind the shutter curtain, increasing or decreasing the number of shaft turns. The physical effort involved is minimal. That said, remember that shutter repairs are best left to professionals.

Setting up automatic roller shutters

Setting up shutters like these requires specialist knowledge:

1. Adjusting the switches: automatic roller shutters rely on switches located at the ends of the mechanism. Set the switches so that they correctly detect the position of the shutter curtain.
2. Using a screwdriver: the motor is set up with a screwdriver. While the shutter curtain is moving, adjust the screws according to the markings on the icons.

Limit switches

An important element of the roller shutter is the limit switches, which control the position of the shutter curtain. Correctly setting the limit switches ensures:

• Complete closure of the opening;
• Prevention of wear on the structure;
• A long service life.

Setting the limit switches at the top of the shutters controls the position of the shutter curtain. Increasing the number of shaft turns will solve the problem using the plus screw. Reduce the number of turns using the minus screw.
