In brief:<\/strong> If the roller shutter moves down when you press \u201cup\u201d, the direction is reversed. On a cable motor the brown and black wires are swapped at the switch; on a radio motor the direction is reversed in setting mode via the transmitter.<\/p>\n

Cable motor (230 V)<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Switch off the fuse.<\/li>\n
  2. Swap the brown and black wires at the blind switch \u2013 this work is done by a qualified electrician.<\/li>\n
  3. Switch the fuse back on and test.<\/li>\n
  4. Check the end positions: with mechanical end positions, each adjusting screw belongs to one direction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The wire assignment is explained in Connecting a roller shutter motor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Radio motor<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Activate setting mode (key sequence as per instructions).<\/li>\n
    2. Reverse the direction \u2013 usually by pressing up and down at the same time or with a dedicated button.<\/li>\n
    3. Save and check the end positions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      On the A-OK AM45 radio<\/a> the direction is set during pairing and can be changed in setting mode.<\/p>\n

      When is the direction wrong?<\/h2>\n
