ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
![Master - LINE - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ELECTRICAL CONNECTION]()
Warnings for the ELECTRICIAN
Make connections with power supply disconnected
- Check that the power supply does not depend from electrical circuits for lighting
- Always connect the motor to the grounding system (yellow/green)
- The supply line must be equipped with a circuit breaker. The supply line must be fitted with a device with a voltage category III, i.e. the contacts must be of 3,5 mm at least
- The product doesn't not provide any protection against overloads or short circuits. Provide the supply line with an adequate protection to the load, for example a fuse of maximum value 3,15A
- You must use buttons with spring return ("hold-to-run" type), do not use buttons with maintained position
- Command buttons are connected to the main voltage, so they must be properly insulated and protected
- The section of the connecting cables must be proportionate to their length and to the absorption of the load, and in any case not less than 1,5 mm
POWER SUPPLY
The supply voltage must be applied to the brown (PHASE) and blue (NEUTRAL) wires. Connect the green / yellow wire to the grounding system. The electrical specifications for motor operation are shown in the label applied to the tube of the motor.
The command buttons are optional. The command buttons must be connected to the black and gray wires and they must close on brown wire. You must use buttons with spring return ("hold to run" type), do not use buttons with maintained position. More command buttons can be connected via a parallel connection. The control buttons are subject to the mains voltage and therefore should be properly insulated and protected. In the case where the command buttons are not used, it is necessary to ensure the isolation of black and gray wires.
INTERFACING WITH HOME AUTOMATION CONTROL UNIT
The control outputs of the Home Automation Control Unit (following H.A.C.U.) must be connected to the command inputs of the motor (GRAY and BLACK wires), replacing the manual buttons. Consequently, the H.A.C.U. must comply with the rules of operation of the command buttons, depending on whether the command buttons work in PULSE mode (factory setting) or in HOLD TO RUN mode (see "Logic of command buttons" section).
Rules that the H.A.C.U. must comply to control the device operating with buttons in PULSE mode.
- The H.A.C.U. must not measure the current drawn by the command inputs of the device (which absorb less than 1 mA).
- The H.A.C.U. must be connected to the device as shown, substituting the command buttons with the outputs of the H.A.C.U..
- To operate the motor, the H.A.C.U. must close contact (up or down) for more than 0.5 seconds (typically using a pulse duration of 1 second).
- To stop the motor, the H.A.C.U. must close contact (up or down) for 0.5 seconds or less (typically using a pulse duration of 0.2 seconds).
Rules that the H.A.C.U. must comply to control the device operating with buttons in HOLD TO RUN mode.
- The H.A.C.U. must not measure the current drawn by the command inputs of the device (which absorb less than 1 mA).
- The H.A.C.U. must be connected to the device as shown, substituting the command buttons with the outputs of the H.A.C.U..
- To allow the conclusion of the entire opening / closing, the H.A.C.U. must be able to close the contact UP / DOWN to the time required for the motor to perform the complete operation.
- To stop the motor, the H.A.C.U. must be able to re-open the contacts UP / DOWN at any time.
At the time of this document printing, specific issues related to the connection between MASTER products and H.A.C.U. are not known (if you follow the rules above). However MASTER disclaims any responsibility concerning the non-compatibility (even partial) with any H.A.C.U.. If the H.A.C.U. uses KNX protocols or similar, contact the vendors of home automation controller informing them of the rules above. Probably the manufacturer of H.A.C.U. can provide appropriate interfaces to connect the device to the H.A.C.U..
INSTALLATION USING A TRANSMITTER
In the case of installation of several motors, must be programmed (and therefore powered) one motor at a time.
The installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. Before starting to work on the motor, carefully read the installation procedure. In case of doubt, contact your supplier.
Installation must be performed using an ARCO, VISIO, KORT, KUADRO, FLUTE or equivalent transmitter. Before starting the installation, read the transmitter instruction manual and identify the UP, STOP, DOWN, PROG buttons necessary for motor programming.

SUN,WIND, RAIN SENSORS
The sensors generate automatic manoeuvres without notice that can be dangerous. The installer must to inform the end-user and possibly integrate the installation with adequate security systems. In some situations (eg power loss of motor or sensor, motor failure or sensor, radio noise...) it is possible that the command imparted by the sensor is not detected by the motor. The sensor must therefore not be understood as a safety device which ensures the integrity of the roller in every condition, but a means to reduce the possibility that the shutter being damaged by adverse weather conditions.
COMPATIBLE SENSORS
The LINE series have integrated radio receiver and require the use of radio sensors. Use the sensor series BLAST or BLAST BT (wind sensor), VEGA or VEGA BT (sun/wind sensor), X11C (rain sensor) with the power supply AT12. When the sensor detects the presence of wind, the "wind alarm" command is sent: the tuned motors move upward and manual controls are disabled until the end of the alarm. When the sensor detects the presence of the sun, the "presence of sun" command is sent: the tuned motors move downward. When the sensor detects the absence of the sun, the "absence of sun" command is sent: the tuned motors move upward. When the sensor detects the presence of rain, the "presence of rain" command is sent: the tuned motors move up or down, depending on the settings of rain sensor. Each device can store up to 4 sensors wind, only one sun sensor. For more information, consult the manual of sensors.
The buttons can be operated either in PULSE logic or HOLD-TO-RUN logic.
PULSE: to activate the motor press a button for at least 0.5 seconds, to stop the motor press briefly (less than 0.5 seconds) one of the two buttons.
HOLD-TO-RUN: to activate the motor press a button for at least 0.5 seconds, to stop the motor release the button. The factory sets the device to work in PULSE logic. To modify this parameter operate as described.
