What is the AMP motor portfolio?

The AMP motorization portfolio is a comprehensive range of motors for a variety of motorized window coverings, including Roller Shades, Roman Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Cellular/Pleated Shades, Sheer Shadings, Revolve/Double Shades and Horizontal Tilt Blinds.

What does this work for?

This will work for all AMP motorization devices connected to a AMP Bridge.

How does the AMP Bridge communicate?

The bridge has Wi-Fi to communicate with mobile devices and internet routers. It also utilizes RF communication to send and receive messages to AMP motors.

Does this device provide two way control?

This driver will provide bi-directional control and feedback over blinds / curtains that have two-way feedback.  If the motor is uni directional only the driver will assume the last state sent is the current state.

How doe Uni Directional Drivers work?

Uni Directional Drivers have up, down and stop commands only.  There is no feedback on the driver.  Note uni directional motors are only supported by the Connector Bridge DD7002B model.

How does TDBU Drivers work?

TDBU drivers have two proxies associated.  One for the top and one for the bottom.  The top motor closes when it goes up and opens when it goes down.  The bottom motor does the opposite and closes when it goes down and opens when it goes up.

Also note that if the top motor goes below the bottom motor’s level it will force the bottom motor to move to the top motors desired level.  This happens in reverse when the bottom motor goes above the top motor’s level as well.

How does Tilt Drivers works?

The Tilt driver has two proxies associated.  One for the position and one for tilt.  Note that on some motors tilt is driven by a single motor and as such tilting the louver will cause the main position to shift slightly between 95-100%.  This is normal behavior
