Roller Shutter Controller FF STR-R with Rain Sensor (STR-R)

The Roller Shutter Controller FF STR-R with Rain Sensor is a wired control device designed to operate motorized roller shutters, blinds or awnings with automatic weather response. The built-in rain sensor detects precipitation and triggers a configurable shutdown or retraction to protect windows, façades and outdoor coverings. Intended for fixed installations in residential and light commercial settings, the controller integrates into existing wired motor circuits to provide dependable automatic protection during rain events.

Advantages

The unit combines a shutter/awning control relay with an integrated rain detection element to eliminate the need for a separate sensor and simplify wiring. Its wired design offers stable communication with motor drives and reliable power supply for uninterrupted operation. Configurable response logic allows installers to set automatic actions and delay times appropriate to the installation. The compact form factor supports mounting in distribution boxes or behind wall switches, enabling discreet integration into building interiors.

Suitable for

• Automatic closure of roller shutters in homes
• Retraction of awnings and exterior blinds to prevent weather damage
• Integration with motorized window coverings in small commercial properties
• Use in renovation projects where wired control is preferred

Key specifications

• Wired control interface for motorized shutters, blinds or awnings
• Integrated rain sensor for precipitation detection and automatic response
• Configurable output behavior and delay settings for automated actions
• Compact housing suitable for mounting in distribution boxes or behind switches
• Intended for residential and light commercial fixed installations

How to use

Install the wired controller in the electrical distribution location or mounting box according to local electrical regulations and the motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram. Connect the controller’s outputs to the motorized roller shutter, blind or awning drive and the power supply as specified in the installation manual. Position the rain sensor where it is exposed to weather but protected from splash from nearby surfaces. Configure the controller’s response logic and delay parameters during commissioning to match the desired behavior for rain-triggered closure or retraction. Test the system operation by simulating precipitation and verifying that the shutter or awning responds correctly.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the rain sensor is mounted clear of obstructions and away from sources of isolated water spray. Follow local wiring standards and use qualified personnel for installation. Periodically check sensor functionality and perform maintenance on shutter and awning drives to maintain prompt response to rain events.
