    I need to control some blinds that have low valotage contacts. the unit is powered with a 24vds transformer then there is com,up and down on the LV side. Is there anyway of using the L5501RBCP to control these?
    As it is bus powered could I connect com to the live terminal and then up and down to open and close?
    I know i could use a interlock relay but don't have one on site!
    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Its not clear from your description how this blind is normally wired up... can you draw us a wiring diagram?

    If you're trying to control DC motors, take a look at Page 7 of the Installation Instructions. It shows how to wire up the product. There is also an over-sticker for the terminals, which should be in the box with your product.

    Let us know how you go.

    I was just being lazy and not engaging my brain properly. the blinds are silent gliss 9090 that require low voltage contact closures to operate. the DC feed is reversed in the motor to change direction so couldn't use the DC method on the shutter controller.
    I just used the outputs from the shutter controller to drive two relays for the Low voltage connections!
    Thanks Anyway
