5. Installation
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure power is OFF at the main circuit breaker.
- Confirm your roller shutter/blind motor is a 4-wire type.
- Verify that your wall switch box has sufficient depth (minimum 60mm recommended) to accommodate the module.
5.2 Wiring Diagram
Follow the wiring diagram carefully. Incorrect wiring can damage the module or motor.
Figure 5.1: Wiring connections for the LoraTap SC511SC module.
Wiring Steps:
- Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) input wires from your power supply to the corresponding 'Input AC~' terminals on the module.
- Connect the motor's Neutral (N) wire to the 'Output N' terminal on the module.
- Connect the motor's 'Up' wire (e.g., Brown) to the 'L1' terminal on the module.
- Connect the motor's 'Down' wire (e.g., Black) to the 'L2' terminal on the module.
- If using a traditional wall switch, connect the switch's Live (L) input to the 'L' terminal on the module.
- Connect the switch's 'Up' output to the 'S1' terminal on the module.
- Connect the switch's 'Down' output to the 'S2' terminal on the module.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
5.3 Physical Installation
The compact design of the module allows it to be installed directly into most standard wall switch boxes. Ensure there is enough space for the module and wiring.
Figure 5.2: Recommended wall box depth for module installation.
- After wiring, carefully place the module into the wall box.
- Re-attach the traditional wall switch (if applicable) over the module.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Pairing the Remote Control
The remote control and module are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed or for adding additional remotes:
- Press and hold the 'Pairing Button' on the module for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light flashes.
- Within 10 seconds, press any button on the remote control you wish to pair.
- The indicator light on the module will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
6.2 Basic Operation
Once installed and paired, you can control your roller shutters/blinds using either the traditional wall switch or the RF remote control.
- Using the Remote Control:
Up Button (▲): Press to open/raise the roller shutter.
Down Button (▼): Press to close/lower the roller shutter.
Stop Button (▮▮): Press to stop the roller shutter at any desired position. - Using the Traditional Wall Switch:
A short press on the 'Up' or 'Down' button of your traditional switch will initiate the movement. A second short press will stop the movement.
