Cord Designs, if a cord is needed.
The graphic at the upper left, is not accidental, as cord design is essential, to our motor production!
We live in a day, and age, where we have options......
Motors can be had with varying lengths of cords, by special production orders, and can be wall plug ready, in the case of motors using our FCC Approved, internal remote controls.
We also have motors with the old style 4 wire cords, which require them to be wired to wall switches, especially designed for tubular motors. This type legally requires an electrician, which usually cost hundreds of dollars. Add on remote controls, can also be attached to these motor types
And, for tubular motors built for small window shade applications (or similar), we can provide battery operated motors, which do not require any type of motor cords. These motors however, require remote control applications. Or, they can employ a wall switch type, that is connected to the battery type motor, but not to any outside power source.
Whatever your motor need is, we have you covered!
Remote control motors (with internal receivers), are of particular interest, as they can save you the cost of using a licensed electrician, to wire the motors!
We manufacture this motor type, so the cord can be separated inches from entering the motor, so it can be threaded through structural components, and reconnect to the motor, as it is installed inside the shutter housing. Further, the cords are extendable, using quick disconnect inline plugs (of the guitar plug type).
The originating end of the cord, is wall plug ready, while it's length can be extended from the middle, or they can be ordered to special lengths.
Anyone can connect, or dissconnect them, as wanted, however the wall plug should be disconnected first, and re-connected after the cord is properly extended!
In the case of a home with an attic, this allows the cord(s) to gather in the attic, and to plug into a powerstrip (breaker protected).
The other ends of each cord can lead outwardly, to the edge of the eaves, and pass through a 5/8" hole, and into the shutter box, and motor. A rubber gromet is used around the cord, to seal the hole afterwards.
They are also handy in condominiums, as cords can run inside of hollow tubular structure, out of sight, and mind.
Because these motors use remote controls, and can also be had with a mechanical override, there is no need for a wall switch, of any type!
The cords are designed, so they will only be inserted one possible way, and anyone can connect it!
Again, those cords are extendable, to any reasonable length!
