Abstract

The control system for operating the blind is housed and wired-up in the blind support system which secures it to the wall. Provision can also be made for housing sensors which, for instance, control the required degree of extension of the blind or have a protective function (monitoring wind loading). Suitable terminations are provided for connection to the domestic power supply.
