5501RBCP Electric Blinds Controller

Does anyone know when the new 5501RBCP module for controlling electric blind motos will be released? This looks like it will elimintate all known issues and limitations.

Unit is found on page 44 of following pdf document.

I dont think you will get an answer on this - it will be out when its out

Great document - page 23 was an interesting find - c-bus thermostats

Thanks Mick,

Its a shame there isnt an ETA on the unit. It is such a tease to put an item like that in a product document without a release date.

Is there any news on this unit yet (the 5501 that is).

I am getting sick of walking to the shed to turn the electric fence off and I want to install on so I can check it is on from the house

The L5501RBCP is designed to control electric blind motors. How do you plan to use it to control an electric fence?

 

the impression I got was that this was a single channel change over relay in a din rail enclosure that had a few extra smarts to control blinds (ie delays between switching etc).

I was planning to use it just as a basic switch.

if that is not the case then can someone tell me if there is a single channel din-rail enclosure in the pipeline - the existing single channel does not suit the application at hand

If all you are after is a C-Bus-powered relay unit then the L5501RBCP will not satisfy you because the relays cannot be operated continuously. They time out after a (configurable) time period.

 

bugger! I just wanted to turn on a GPO remotely and I was hoping that this would do it.

 

wireless ?
or a big long stick.

 

What is wrong with the CBUS single channel Relay for this application.

a 5101RC would do the job perfectly. just plug in the power point and then plug the electric fence in the back. All you need is the Pick cat 5 to the house......

But if it is DIN mounting you require then not much help

safe installation of this unit (IMO) is difficult and the preference was for DIN as it made the install look clean and right.

I am currently using one of these and find them very difficult to install in a way that I find acceptable

Kids - the modern mans slave

 

I thought a wife was that with one or two additional benefits occasionally.

 

Is it out yet?

Is the blind controller out yet and available for the common man. I know its in the latest toolkit, but I have not seen anyone with one yet.

I heard that it was in the final stages of testing???

 

How are we going with this beast - did CIS get it wrong and the testing went bad

Mick

 

Gearboxes gave up? Shouldn't be after such short time. Curious, which motor did you use?

Does this mean the Blind controller are now available?

 

Any update ob the releease of the 5501RBCP ?

I now have a roller blind in the bedroom of our new house in FNQ and I suspect that there are a number of birds (the feathered variaty!!) that are now in therapy having flown past the window in the mornings.

I want to place Clipsal on record for being responsible for cruelty to our native wildlife because the 5501RBCP is still not released!

When will this cruelty end!

Cheers,
