Shutter control Merten MEG5165-0000, metallic, 220–230 V AC, 50–60 Hz, max 1000 W

Merten MEG5165-0000 is a shutter control unit in a metallic finish designed to operate motor-driven roller shutters and blinds. The device is built for installation in electrical switchboxes and accepts mains supply of 220–230 V AC at 50–60 Hz, providing switching control for window coverings with a maximum load capacity of 1000 W. Its metallic design blends with metal or neutral-decor interiors while delivering stable performance for residential and light commercial applications.

Advantages

The shutter control offers a compact footprint and a durable metallic finish that resists wear in regular use. It supports standard mains voltage and frequency ranges (220–230 V AC, 50–60 Hz) and handles motor loads up to 1000 W, allowing reliable operation of most household and small commercial shutter motors. The product is intended for installation in typical electrical mounting systems and provides straightforward switching functionality without complex configuration.

Suitable for

• Controlling motor-driven roller shutters in homes
• Operating blinds and venetian systems with electric motors
• Light commercial window-covering control where central switching is needed
• Retrofit installations replacing a simple mechanical switch with electronic control

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 220–230 V AC
• Frequency: 50–60 Hz
• Maximum switching capacity: 1000 W
• Finish: metallic
• Designed for motor-driven roller shutters and blinds
• Intended for in-wall electrical installation

How to use

Install the shutter control into a compatible electrical mounting box and connect to the mains supply and shutter motor following local electrical codes. Ensure power is isolated before making wiring connections. The unit provides switching contacts for raising and lowering the shutter; wiring must match the motor control scheme and any external control switches used. After installation, restore power and test the up and down operation, observing motor limits and stop positions to avoid overdriving the mechanism.

Recommendations

Use this device with motors whose rated power does not exceed 1000 W and ensure proper thermal protection and circuit breakers are in place. Verify compatibility with the shutter motor control type (e.g., single-phase tubular motor) and follow national wiring regulations during installation. For long-term reliability, avoid exposure to excessive moisture and install the unit in an appropriate enclosure if used in humid environments.
