The VDM1000B is the optimal driver for the new UNIBLITZ® N-CAS®, NS series shutters. The driver has user-selectable function switches allowing it to handle a variety of shutter configurations. It will operate a N-CAS® shutter in a uni-stable mode (normally open or normally closed), or bi-stable mode where no power is required to hold the shutter open or closed. In addition to this capability, the N-CAS® circuit can be disabled, allowing the VDM1000 to operate standard LS, VS, and CS series shutters.
The VDM1000B operates from a user supplied +36VDC power supply. It can easily be integrated into OEM applications where +36VDC is available.
