In brief: Für Funk am Rollladen gibt es zwei Wege: einen Rohrmotor mit eingebautem Funkempfänger oder einen separaten Funkempfänger vor einem Kabelmotor. Ein Funkmotor braucht nur Dauerstrom; gesteuert wird per Handsender, Wandsender oder Zeitschaltuhr. Der Handsender wird einmal am Motor angelernt.
Radio motor or radio receiver?
| Radio motor | Cable motor + receiver | |
|---|---|---|
| Wiring | permanent power only (L, N, PE) | receiver in the switch box |
| End positions | electronic, via transmitter | usually mechanical on the motor |
| Additional functions | Hinderniserkennung, Zwischenposition | depends on the receiver |
| Example | A-OK AM45 radio, ab 100 € | A-OK AM45 mechanical from €65 + receiver |
Pairing the hand transmitter – the basic procedure
- Power the motor (only this one motor on the mains if several are in range).
- Press the learn button on the transmitter or motor – the motor confirms with a short up-down movement.
- Check the direction and reverse it if necessary.
- Teach the end positions.
- Add further transmitters or channels for groups.
The exact key sequence is in the motor’s instructions. The A-OK AM45 radio learns the end positions automatically, semi-automatically or manually and recalibrates them every 100 cycles.
Frequency: 433 or 868 MHz?
Both frequencies are common in Europe. What matters is that transmitter and motor match. The AM45 radio works at 868 MHz (433 MHz on request), the AM35 radio version at 433 MHz.
Frequently asked questions
Can I control several roller shutters with one transmitter?
Yes. Multi-channel transmitters control individual shutters or groups; one channel can also move all of them together.
Do I still need a wall switch?
No, but a radio wall transmitter is handy when the hand transmitter is missing.
