The desire for more light is one of the main reasons for the conversion of residential properties. Above all the conversion of a roof or loft can lead to the creation of asymmetrical window areas, for instance if a gable is glazed. Given their exposed positions these glazed areas require special, individual protection against the sun and the possibility of others being able to see right into the new living area. Modular automation solutions able to cope with every installation situation are recommended, such as those from elero for example, so as to satisfy the demands placed on windows that are not easily accessible.

Individual solutions for slanting windows
With asymmetrical windows in particular planners and installation engineers have to use drive units and controls which may be fitted in line with the construction requirements. With ProLine elero offers a line of controls comprising both hand-held and wall-mounted radio transmitters, as well as wired controls. The range of controls covers simple transmitters such as the MemoTec with an Up-Down-Stop function through to intelligent timer switches such as the AstroTec. The latter controls roller shutters and venetian blinds, for example, in line with the time the sun sets or in accordance with the amount of sunshine with the aid of sun/wind sensors.

Radio controls and drive units for difficult cases
With windows that are difficult to reach the use of radio-controlled systems is especially advantageous as there is no need to install a control line. Furthermore, all the elero radio-based products come with a quality symbol that indicates ease of programming and use of the secure 868 MHz radio frequency.

When slanting roller shutters are motorised, the drive units often have to be accommodated in a small space and the installation of these has to be problem-free. Radio-controlled roller shutter drives, such as the ACS 868, and flexible, pluggable
