7.3 Curtain control
By using the wall terminal box literally all kinds of curtain mechanisms and vertical blinds can
be controlled. There are 5 different control options:
Mode Function
1 Operation by depression of key; function is maintained as long as the key is pressed.
2 Switching operation (Relay switches to lock position).
3 Combination from mode 1 and mode 2:
If the key/button is pressed longer than 3 seconds, the relay will switch into lock
position.
4 Automatic control for curtains/systems with limit switches:
In this mode,
a) the running time
b) the waiting time (optional)
for the curtain are set. This makes sense as, for example, the curtain should not always
completely open and close in between two examination.
Application:
1. For first examination, the exhangeable table is moved forward. → Curtain closes when it reaches limit
switch.
2. Exchangeable table is moved backward. → Curtain remains closed (waiting time, for example 1.5 minutes)
3. Hand-held device is removed for second examination.
4. Hand-held device is re-inserted into system → Curtain opens after the set running time of 1.5 minutes has
elapsed.
5 Automatic control for curtains/systems without limit switches:
Just as for mode 4, the running time applies to opening and closing of curtain.
Select the running time for the curtain so that it is closed once the running time has
elapsed.
There are two pairs of keys/buttons on the control for
a) one curtain with two stepper motors or
b) two curtains with one stepper motor.
Both pairs of keys/buttons can be programmed independently. If, however, both pairs of
keys/buttons are in modes 4 or 5, the programmed times will apply to both pairs of
keys/buttons.
LLP RLP LRP RRP
Start the setup (cf. chapter 7).
In order to set the desired mode (1-5), press the left key/button (LLP or LRP) of the selected
key/button pair.
The number of signal tones and the corresponding mode are the same. To save the value,
switch off the unit.
The running time (1 to 7 seconds) is set by pressing the key/button RRP. The number of
signal tones indicates the number of [set] seconds. To save the value, switch off the unit.
The delay (from 0 to 1.5 minutes) is set by pressing the RLP key/button (increase by 15second increments). Here one signal tone means no delay, and 7 tones correspond to 1.5
minutes. To save the value, switch off the unit.
