Whether children, employees or guests in the office, hospital, hotel or conference room, suddenly rattling shutters are often perceived as a nuisance. The drive and control manufacturer elero provides the remedy: With the RolMotion product range, a drive for roller shutters with particularly quiet operation has been developed. “The drive series will appeal to customers with a whisper mode that moves the roller shutters exceedingly quietly in slow running mode. Especially in single-family and multi-family homes and on public sector properties, this is pleasant for the users and increases living comfort,” says Managing Director Enzo Viola.
Like a rustle of leaves
The drive has two different application variants. In standard mode, roller shutters are moved at the usual running speed. There is the whisper mode for times of day and situations in which particularly quiet running is advantageous. In this slow running mode, the opening and closing of the hangings are barely audible: Instead of an already quiet 45 decibels in standard mode, RolMotion only causes 35 decibels at slow speed – comparable to the sound of rustling leaves. Whisper mode is always activated in the radio version in automatic mode, but can also be switched on manually simply by pressing a button.
Radio or wired
The product range is available as a wired solution or with radio technology. Like the RolTop range, RolMotion has obstacle and blockage detection function as well as soft start and soft stop. As a result, the drives work durably and reliably. This is underlined by elero’s 7-year material guarantee for RolMotion.
As usual, the drives can be installed and adjusted quickly and easily. It is even less complicated with the D+ variant with plug ‘n’ play. With the wired solution, it is possible to select whether the whisper mode is activated via a keystroke or via a double-click. This enables optimal use in automatic mode. The wireless version can also be integrated into the company’s own home automation solution, Centero Home.
New “EnOcean” variant
An “EnOcean” variant has also recently been launched on the market. Thanks to the use of the very common radio standard, RolMotion EnOcean can be integrated into a wide range of applications in building automation and Smart Homes. The drive can be controlled via battery-free and wireless transmitters, switches or sensors that draw their energy from movement, temperature or light. As the control is thus independent of electricity or batteries, it requires less maintenance and is very flexible. Elero has already been nominated for the R+T Innovation Award for the intelligent roller shutter drive.
