Safety information

Device description

The AURATON Roller Shutter is used to control devices equipped with a rotary drive with the ability to change direction and with adjustable speed locks in the form of limit switches. In practice, these include roller shutters and gates. The device should be connected according to the diagram. Both single and double bi-stable and mono-stable switches are supported. Control involves activating a relay and transferring a phase to the appropriate motor input. It allows for programming movement times in a given direction after calibrating the device (Note: The motor must be equipped with limit switches).

The device measures receiver parameters such as active power and total energy consumption. The AURATON Roller Shutter is equipped with a LED indicating the current operating status and a button for adding or removing the device from the SUPLA system (Fig. 1). The AURATON Roller Shutter is intended for indoor use only, for installation in junction boxes.

Device dimensions

Device functions

The device was designed and manufactured in Poland in accordance with applicable standards.
It is suitable for installation in junction boxes with a minimum depth of 60 mm and meeting national standards.

A correctly connected and configured device allows you to:

• control of the rotary motor in both directions,
• ability to control roller shutters and gates,
• Possibility of control using monostable, bistable or remote buttons,
• measurement of the supply voltage value,
• measurement of active power and total energy consumption by the connected receiver,
• secure radio connection using the AURA protocol.

Additionally, the AURATON Roller Shutter is equipped with:

• software protection against switching on the voltage when it is not within the permissible operating range of the device,
• software overcurrent protection protecting the module against damage,
• software protection against exceeding the permissible internal temperature,
• two-color internal LED to identify device status.

Description of measured parameters:

• Active power – the power consumed by a device, resulting from the supply voltage, current, and load characteristics. This value directly translates into electricity bills.
• Electricity consumption – a measure of electricity consumption, expressed in kWh (kilowatt-hours). This value is also displayed on the electricity meter installed in every home.

Connection to the power supply

The AURATON Roller Shutter may only be connected to a 230 V AC power supply. The electrical installation should be protected by a circuit breaker with a maximum current of 10 A, meeting national standards. The minimum cross-section of the connecting wires should be 1 mm², while the maximum cross-section of the connecting wires cannot exceed 2.5 mm². No additional settings are required for either type of supply voltage. The connection method is shown in the drawing below. Pay particular attention to the markings of the N and L power terminals.

How to connect the power supply to the AURATON Roller Shutter module with roller blinds

Double connector

Single connector

Calibration of the AURATON Roller Shutter with actuator

Basic calibration

For the AURATON Roller Shutter to work properly with an actuator (e.g., a roller shutter), the controller must be calibrated. To initiate the calibration process, use the wall switch to perform the following sequence:

1. Press and hold the connector button for 5 seconds.
2. Release the switch button for 1 second.
3. Press and hold the connector button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the switch button for 1 second.
5. Press and hold the connector button for 5 seconds.

After this step, the roller shutter will move to its extreme positions to perform calibration. A full movement in both directions is required, which usually means three passes, the first of which establishes the initial position.

Manual calibration of the 1% point

If we're controlling a device with an additional initial opening degree, we can include it in the first 1%, even if it represents a significant portion of the operation. In roller blinds, for example, this is the level at which the slats are straightened, leaving the window still covered but with a small clearance. Adding this level allows for better control of the remaining roller blind positions, both from the top and bottom. To set the 1% threshold, press any button on the switch during the calibration process when the device is in the position we want to define as 1%. The device will then perform an additional movement compared to the standard calibration. The button should be pressed during full movement in the given direction (2nd or 3rd pass; the 1st is ignored).

Device pairing

Once the module is properly connected and powered on, the LED inside the housing should begin flashing red, as shown in Fig. 5.1. This indicates that the device is not paired with the SUPLA system. If the LED flashes as shown in Fig. 5.3 or Fig. 5.4, the device must first be removed from the system.

Enabling pairing – AURATON Roller Shutter

To activate pairing, hold down the button on the device's housing. Release the button when the LED lights green. The pairing process should begin, and the LED should flash as shown in Figure 5.2. During this time (approx. 30 seconds), initiate pairing on the other device you want to pair with the AURATON Roller Shutter.

Enabling pairing – AURATON Box gateway

Pairing the AURATON Roller Shutter controller with the AURATON Box gateway can be done in two ways:

• On the AURATON Box gateway, briefly press the right "Auraton" pairing button ( ) – the LED under the button will start flashing. Then, put the roller shutter controller into pairing mode.

or

• In Supla Cloud, enter the AURATON Box gateway channel and press the "Pair new devices or sensors" button – the LED under the right "Auraton" pairing button will start flashing. Then, put the roller shutter controller into pairing mode.

After pairing the AURATON Roller Shutter controller with the Auraton Box gateway, it is recommended to immediately name it in both channels (the "Relay" channel and the "Electricity Meter" channel) in Supla Cloud. By default, the device is named according to its model or intended use, e.g., "Roller Shutter," which can be confusing when using multiple devices of the same type. To facilitate identification, it is a good idea to give the controller a unique name immediately after pairing. To do this, edit the "Channel Name" and confirm the changes by clicking " Save Changes ."

Factory reset

To restore factory settings, hold the button during normal operation (approx. 5 seconds) until the LED lights red. Release the button and press it again within 3 seconds to confirm the operation. All information on the device will be cleared. The LED should indicate that it is not connected to the AURATON Box (Fig. 6.1).

Local control

The AURATON Roller Shutter can be controlled locally using a single or double monostable or bistable switch. The difference in control between monostable and bistable switches results from their design. Bistable switches retain their state after clicking, while monostable switches, also known as bell switches, activate a phase only for a short period.

Single switch – monostable

Direction control is alternating. A single click initiates movement, another click stops, and another click reverses direction. The moment the final position is reached, the movement is stopped.

Example of subsequent "presses" of the connector:

Single switch – bistable

Similar to controlling a monostable switch, the direction of action is controlled alternately. A "click" causes movement, an "unclick" stops, and another "click" causes movement in the opposite direction. The moment the end position is reached is equivalent to a stop, but to restart the motor, the switch must be "unclicked" and "clicked" again.

Example of subsequent "presses" of the connector:

Double switch – monostable

Control is controlled by the clicked switch key. Clicking the "A key" initiates movement in the "A" direction, and the "B key" initiates movement in the "B" direction. Pressing any key during movement stops the motor.

Example of subsequent "presses" of the connector:

Double switch – bistable

Control is controlled by pressing the switch button. Clicking "key A" initiates movement in direction "A," while "key B" initiates movement in direction "B." Stopping is accomplished by "unclicking" the button that is "pressed." It is recommended to use a switch designed for roller shutters, with the ability to be locked in both directions simultaneously. Failure to follow this recommendation will not cause damage, but pressing it simultaneously will operate as with a "single bistable switch."

Example of subsequent "presses" of the connector:

Control via the SUPLA application

After correctly adding the AURATON Roller Shutter to the SUPLA system, the roller shutter is visible in the application as two channels: the roller shutter control channel and the "Electricity meter" channel :

Roller shutter control channel

The SUPLA app allows you to control the opening/closing of your roller shutters after calibration. Calibration can be performed both in the app and via SUPLA Cloud.

                                 

Users gain access to a complete, intuitive roller shutter control panel. The interface displays the roller shutter's current closing status and allows for manual control.

Information about the roller shutter condition

At the top of the screen there is text and graphic information about the current position of the roller shutter – e.g. Closed: 100% (roller shutter completely closed) or Closed: 0% (roller shutter completely open).

Calibration button

In the upper right corner there is an icon with an up-down arrow symbol, which is used for calibration and precise setting of intermediate positions (e.g. 30%, 50%, 70%).

Control panel

There are three main control buttons at the bottom of the screen:

• Up arrow – starts the roller shutter opening.

• Down arrow – starts closing the roller shutter.

• Square (stop) – stops the roller shutter in the current position.

There are also double arrow icons on both sides – these can be used for precise slat control (if the blind supports this function) or fast movement.

Thanks to this interface, the user can not only open and close the blind, but also set it to intermediate positions, which allows for better control over daylight and privacy in the room.

"Electricity Meter" Channel

The AURATON Roller Shutter controller is equipped with a function to monitor the roller shutter motor's electricity consumption. After pairing the device with the SUPLA system, the user can access a dedicated energy meter channel in the app. After entering the "Electricity Meter" channel, three tabs are located at the bottom of the screen: "General," "History," and "Settings."

"General" view of a channel displays the following information:

• Active energy consumed (meter reading) – the sum of the total energy consumed by the device since it was first turned on.

• Active energy consumed (current month) – the amount of energy consumed since the beginning of the current calendar month.

• Voltage (V) – current supply voltage (e.g. 238.40 V).

• Current (A) – the instantaneous current drawn by the device.

• Active power (W) – current active power consumed during roller shutter operation.

• Active energy consumed (kWh) – the value of energy consumed since the last reading (e.g. 0.02600 kWh).

This allows the user to easily monitor the power consumption of the roller shutter drive, which is especially important in multi-zone or commercial installations, where optimizing energy consumption translates into real savings.

 

The "History" "Electricity meter" channel the Auraton Roller Shutter controller displays detailed data on the active energy consumption [kWh] by the connected device:

• Active energy consumed [kWh] – the total amount of energy consumed in the selected time range is displayed at the top of the screen (example: 0.06 kWh ).

• RANGE – allows you to specify the time period for which data will be displayed. In the example, the following is set: Last 7 days .

• DATA TYPE – allows you to select the level of detail for the measurement. In the example, Minutes , which means that energy consumption is displayed in minute intervals.

• Energy Consumption Chart – graphically displays energy consumption over time. The horizontal axis displays the time axis (divided into dates and times), and the vertical axis displays energy values ​​[kWh]. In this example, energy consumption occurred primarily on June 13th around noon.

• Date range under the chart – specifies the exact time period being analyzed, e.g. June 13 10:40 – June 13 13:10 .

This view allows the user to monitor and analyze the energy consumption of a controlled circuit (e.g., a roller shutter drive) and can be useful for things like detecting irregularities or assessing the device's energy efficiency.

In the " Settings" of the " Electricity meter" in the AURATON Roller Shutter , you can specify which value should be visible in the channel list.

Available options are:

• Active energy consumed – the total amount of electricity consumed is displayed (in kWh),

• Active power – shows the current power consumption (in W),

• Voltage – shows the current voltage in the power supply network (in V).

To select one of the above values, go to the Settings in the "Electricity Meter" channel and select your preferred option from the drop-down list. The selected value will be visible in the channel list, allowing you to quickly view the key parameter.
