    Hi

    I know its been discussed in other threads but im currently doing an install where I have installed change over relays for blind contol. I was wondering whether I could just use the one channel per blinds as the blind motors have there set limits.The problem I can see having is stopping the blinds to a desired position apart from fully open or closed and was wondering whether in the programming i can set a off stop which doesnt energise either contacts with this relay.

    There is no intermediate state, you will either have open on or close on thus only full open and full closed if you want to use one relay for both up and down control.

    A change over relay is just one relay, not two acting together.

    The shutter relay is the perfect solution here, and needs no external changeover relay.

    Thanks for that. Thought that would be the case ill order shutter relays and use 2 channels per blinds for the change overs. Thanks
