The PUJOL MINIBOX external disengagement device is primarily intended for use with automatic security shutters that have weight compensation springs. It is used when we want to disengage the central motor of the roller shutter from its external side, in order to make it manual in case of a power outage. The device is compact, heavy-duty, and elegantly designed.
The motor is disengaged via a Bowden cable from the electric brake. The cable is pulled when the door of the disengagement device is opened. The tensioning of the cable disengages the motor brake, thus allowing the roller shutter to be raised and lowered manually.
The device is suitable for outdoor installation, as its body is made of steel and has a hinged door with hidden hinges that locks with a key.
The package includes 2 keys. The external switch is not included.
During installation, it is essential to ensure that the Bowden cable is not visible and cannot be accessed from the outside of the roller shutter, except through the disengagement device, for safety reasons. If the cable is exposed from the outside, then the roller shutter can be disengaged relatively easily by anyone. It is also very important that the cable does not make sharp turns and meets the back (rear) of the disengagement device vertically, so that its wire moves freely without snagging. Finally, the device must be very firmly fixed to the wall or any other mounting point on a flat surface we choose.
