MPL1 Shutter module - DiLARTEC

The MPL1 shutter module is suitable for switching 2 motorized shutters/blinds/curtains or any other motorized window covering.

X10 commands: On, Off

Use and application:
The MPL1 module enables to receive X10 signals, acting over two motors in an independent way. Moreover, the MPL1 has the right connections to control the motorized elements by means of momentary switches.
When the MPL1 has the power supply connected, its LED will flicker with 2 seconds frequency. This will indicate it is in the operative mode.
At this state, the MPL1 can be controlled by ON/OFF X10 signals. When the MPL1 receives an ON X10 signal, it carries out an UP movement of the element connected. When the MPL1 receives an OFF X10 signal, it carries out a DOWN movement.
The MPL1 can also be controlled by momentary switches. The module has been designed with micro-switches in order to provide an easy installation and testing, it is possible to use any type of momentary switch "normally opened".
Each motor is controlled by a momentary switch. The MPL1 carries out a different sequence depending on duration of the press.

• Short Press: The execution order will change at each short press. The sequence is: UP-STOP-DOWN-STOP.
• Long Press: By a long press the movement will be the opposite of the one before. The movement will stop as soon as the momentary switch is not pressed.

Note:
Due to almost all the 230V motors have their own limit switch; the MPL1 does not oversee the limit switch. Due to that reason, it must be exclusively used with motor which possess such characteristic. Thus, in order to allow any motor to arrive to the end of the distance, the MPL1 keeps the power supply during 1 minute. Once passed this time, the MPL1 will disconnect the power supply to the phase.
