FAQ's
Switches can the ones for my motorised blinds match my others
Most switches are two way on and off and are not suitable. We need two directions and an off function that can only be achieved with a centre off (or biased off) switch. This is so that the blind can be stopped at any height and with a Venetian type to allow adjustment of the tilt. The Wandsworth range includes a centre off rocker switch, Series 2 No 17 that is suitable. K4900 is the centre off switch In the MK range.
If the blinds have a control system the switches also need a stop function* and our standard switches must be used. The alternative is to have a system with radio remote senders or for the controls to be linked to a BMS or Home Management System.
*The stop function is achieved with a simultaneous momentary signal across both the raise and lower connections.
Some motor manufacturer’s warranties are invalid if their switches or approved switches and controls are not used. Approval should be sought for the type that you propose to use.
