Installation of electric blinds and curtains should be simple, given enough planning and thought. Generally we would recommend every window in a new build or renovation be wired with 4-core 0.75 flex cable exiting at a standard back-box to close to the upper right hand corner of the window to allow connection for blinds that sit 'outside-reveal'. 

For blinds that are located inside the reveal the cable should be looped back out of the back-box through the plaster to exit at the top right-hand corner of the window. This will allow the cable to be hidden behind the blind.

Installing For Direct Connection

For home automation systems that can operate our blinds directly you should wire 0.75mm 4-core flex for each required motor point back to your control panels

Installing For Blindtronics Linked To Other Home Automation.

For blindtronics you should wire 0.75mm 4-core flex for each required motor point back to the location of the Blindtronics Control Panel. CAT5 cable should also be run from your home automation system to the location of the Blindtronics Control Panel to allow control of the blindtronics panel via RS232.

Installing For Blindtronics Operating On It's Own

For blindtronics you should wire 0.75mm 4-core flex for each required motor point back to the location of the Blindtronics Control Panel. CAT5 cable should also be run from each room back to the control panel to facilitate installation of IR eyes for remote control operation or alongside existing wall switches to allow installation of our wall control pads.
