This stands for a worldwide standard in safe
and reliable wireless operation by way of high
frequency signals. It is applied in more than
seventy countries. It has a transmission range of
at least 20 meters in and around the building.
To sum up: there are much less cables, it is
guaranteed to work and it offers more flexibility.
By briefly pressing the middle
button on the remote control, the
curtain closes partially up to a preset position.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
• Local government offices / conference halls / theatre foyers / museums
Electrically operated curtains are also handy in areas difficult to reach in buildings such as high windows and
ceilings. As well as the freedom of operation, moreover a stylish, chic ambiance is created. The result is a positive influence on the conditions of the stay.
