For controlling blinds and curtains in internal applications

Blind and curtain automation controls available in core, advanced and premium versions.

A combination of all versions is possible over a single opening, to a whole floor to an entire building.

The system is entirely scalable and configurable.

Features and benefits:

• Controls natural light, heat and privacy.
• By linking blinds and curtains to an automated system, shading can be raised, lowered or adjusted throughout the day in response to time, sunlight levels, temperature or occupancy.
• Can be used with ShadeTech® blinds and DrapeTech® curtains.
• Ranges from simple wall switches to advanced building management systems (BMS).
• Improves energy efficiency, helping to create environments that are brighter, cooler, and more sustainable.

S3 Core:

S3 Core comprises of a quiet 230 V intelligent and programmable tubular hardwired motor with positional feedback. The parallel connection wiring system drastically reduces the amount of cable requirement needed on installation, providing a cost saving. The S3 Core system is designed primarily for areas in which solar shading is needed for smaller and individual areas rather than where integration into a BMS is required. The operation method for S3 Core is via standard push-button switching.

Key Features

• Ideal For: Spaces requiring effective, cost-efficient shading without full building management system integration.
• Quiet 230 V intelligent tubular motor with positional feedback.
• Parallel-wiring system that reduces the required installation cabling, simplifying setup and cutting costs.
• Operated via standard push-button switching - ideal for basic, independent control.

S3 Advanced:

S3 Advanced elevates automated solar shading to the next level. S3 Advanced can be linked to BMS via Tridium Jace controllers to provide standard time clock operations and head end functionality for system monitoring, adjusting and fault finding. The option of customizable control via KNX switches provides multiple aligned stop positions and full floor control, alongside the smaller areas.

Key Features

• Shares the automated control of Core, with added integration to BMS via Tridium Jace (BACnet) for monitoring, scheduling, and fault diagnostics.
• KNX switch control allows customisable aligned stop positions and centralised floor-level control.
• Ideal For: Projects requiring centralised control across floors or areas, with monitoring and basic automation.

S3 Premium:

In addition to Core and Advanced features, S3 Premium has can be programmed to astro time clocks, energy management systems and advanced sun tracking systems using 3D building or KNX positional data modelling. This ensures optimised glare and heat gain control, while the energy management system utilises data from occupancy and internal temperature sensors to maximise a buildings efficiency.

Key Features

Includes all Core and Advanced capabilities, plus:

• Astro time-clock programming for automatic adjustment based on sunrise/sunset.
• Integration into energy management systems and advanced sun-tracking via 3D models or KNX data.
• Optimises shading using occupancy and internal temperature sensor data.
• Ideal For: High-performance buildings with sophisticated schedules, environmental management, or occupant-responsive shading needs.
