RE: Re: Electric Curtains (relay question)

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The switch connector to the motor unit has four cores - a common, a force
open line, a force closed line and a toggle line. If you want to be able to
control your rail and *KNOW* the state that it has gone to then you'll need
a single pole double throw relay to short the "force open" and
"force
closed" lines to the common line - if you can manage with just
toggling the
curtain then you can use a single pole single throw relay to short the
toggle line to the common line...
