Curtain, blind and roller-shutter controls are specialist switching products. A matching faceplate does not confirm that a switch will operate a particular motor or control system. Buyers should define the required behaviour and have the installer or controls designer confirm the interface before approving a model.
Describe the control requirement
Tell the supplier what the control must do: for example, whether the project needs separate raise/lower controls, momentary operation, a maintained position or integration with another system. These behaviours are not interchangeable. Ask the supplier to identify the exact control logic and provide a connection diagram for the proposed item.
Confirm motor and installation details
Share the motor or actuator information that the project professional says is relevant, including its rated requirements and control method. Confirm conductor count, terminal arrangement, mounting depth, fixing points and wall-box compatibility. Do not choose a switch from appearance or a generic label alone.
Coordinate the product range
Where a project combines lighting switches, sockets and shutter controls, confirm that plate size, colour and accessory systems coordinate. Verify each function against its model code; devices in one series can still differ in dimensions or terminals.
Supplier checklist
- Which motor or actuator types is this exact model designed to control?
- What control positions and operating behaviour does it provide?
- Can the supplier provide a model-specific connection diagram?
- Which ratings, market documents and instructions apply?
- What box, depth, plate and accessory are compatible?
OUBEN’s catalogue includes curtain or shutter switch entries in several series. Catalogue availability is only a starting point: confirm the model’s control logic and compatibility with the project motor before ordering. The responsible electrical professional should confirm installation suitability.
