Roller shutter door wiring

[Jim B]

Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help please?
I have just joined the forum and would like some advice!!
I am installing a roller shutter door to my workshop. I have in place already a fused switched spur, this will require connecting to the keyed rocker switch (3 core flex). From this it requires 4 core flex to the single phase tube motor, which has in built proximity switches. The problem I am having is the mains in, where does this go in to the switch? There are 4 terminals marked 1,2,3 and 4. 1 and 3 are for the open/close, 4 and 2, I assume are the mains in.

Could any shed some light please on the wiring of the motor and switch? the flex from the motor is standard 4 core, brown, black, blue and earth!

If it helps the keyed switch is a" link controls" unit.

Many thanks
Jim

It should be part of the manual.

It should be part of the manual.

As the original post was over 2 months ago think he will have got it going by now, if it was new then he should have got that from the manufacturers when purchasing it but from the sounds of things he bought it as a replacement motor or secondhand which would mean that he would not have got a manual.
