Zebra roller blinds with DC 12V Motor and Qubino Z-Wave / Vera controller hub - Part 3

 Part 1 can be seen here and Part 2 here.

Zebra Roller Blind unboxing.

I was keen to see which motor was actual in the blinds as I hadn't managed to obtain that information from the seller on Alixpress. I had just specified I needed a standard 12V DC roller tube motor with no inbuilt RF radio. 

So I took the motor out of the roller blind tube to take a look at it. The motor is a Bofu ES2512-1.5/28.

Its a brand I've not heard of before but appears to be the same brand of motors sold on Amazon by "Rollerhouse". 

The motor is smaller in size than I was expecting so hope its going to be powerful enough for my size of blind.

There are no mechanical limit screw holes like there are on my AC Dooya tubular motors. However the top and bottom limits can be set on the motor by pressing the button and following the directions in the supplied instructions, which you can see below. 

I didn't take a photo of it but the inside of the tube has a notch, similar to this image I found on Google.

This is the other end of the motor that slides in to the tube and has to be aligned over the notch in the tube.

Enclosed Instructions:

This is the other end of the tube from the motor.

I pulled out the end to take a look at it.

There are three supplied brackets which clip in to the header rail like this. 

These brackets will have to be screwed up in to the Windows lintel inside the reveal, which I hope isn't going to be a major hassle but might be if its solid concrete and not much gap between it and the plaster work for any fixings.

In Part 4 I will be fitting the blind and taking a closer look at it as I haven't been able to pull out much of the fabric yet with the motor installed and not powered up etc.

Part 4 here.
