Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal 240V Motor

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal is a 240V 5Nm tubular motor designed for installations requiring conventional electrically controlled motorisation, parallel wiring and integration with building management or automation systems.

Unlike Alpha’s radio-controlled and rechargeable motors, the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal is specifically designed for applications where an electrically controlled 4-core motor is required.

Alpha describes this model as its best choice for automation systems where electrically controlled 4-core motors are required.

With 5Nm of rated torque, a fast 28 rpm output speed, electronic limits and a compact 35mm motor diameter, the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal provides a versatile solution for motorising compatible roller blinds and projection screens.

Designed for Building Automation Systems

A major advantage of the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal is its suitability for integration into building management systems and other wired automation systems.

Many commercial, residential and automated-building installations require motors that can be controlled electrically through an external control system rather than relying solely on a dedicated radio receiver.

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal provides this capability through its parallel wiring compatible design.

This makes the motor particularly useful where blind control needs to form part of a broader building automation strategy.

Parallel Wiring Compatible

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal is designed as a parallel connector motor and supports parallel wiring.

This is an important distinction when specifying motors for wired control systems because it allows compatible electrical control configurations to operate multiple motors as part of the wider installation.

The appropriate wiring and control system must be designed and installed correctly for the application.

240V Hardwired Operation

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal operates at a nominal voltage of 240V.

Unlike the rechargeable Alpha motors we’ve just added to Frontline, this model does not rely on an internal rechargeable battery.

Instead, it is intended for permanently powered installations where a wired motor provides the appropriate solution.

As a 240V mains-powered product, installation and electrical work must comply with applicable Australian electrical requirements and be carried out by appropriately qualified personnel where required.

5Nm Rated Torque

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal provides 5Nm of rated torque.

Combined with its 28 rpm operating speed, the motor provides a useful balance between lifting power and operating speed for compatible internal shading and screen applications.

Correct motor selection should always take into account the complete installation, including the blind or screen dimensions, weight, tube and system configuration.

Fast 28 RPM Operation

The motor operates at 28 rpm.

This relatively fast operating speed makes the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal suitable for applications where efficient opening and closing is desirable.

The speed is fixed rather than adjustable on this model.

Electronic Limit Switch

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal features an electronic limit switch.

Electronic limits establish the upper and lower stopping positions of the blind or projection screen.

Alpha provides two methods for setting these limits:

The button located on the motor head

or

The Alpha WSB01 Limit Setting Tool

This provides installers with flexibility when commissioning and configuring the motor.

Push-Button Limit Setting

The motor incorporates a push-button configuration method directly at the motor head.

Where the motor remains accessible during setup, the electronic limits can therefore be configured without requiring an additional programming device.

For installations where a dedicated tool is preferred, Alpha also provides the WSB01.

Compact 35mm Diameter

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal uses a compact 35mm diameter motor body.

Its relatively small tubular format allows the motor to be incorporated into compatible roller blind and projection screen systems while still providing 5Nm of torque.

The complete motor measures 560mm in length and weighs approximately 1.35kg.

Roller Blind Applications

Alpha specifically identifies roller blinds as one of the key applications for the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal.

Its wired control architecture makes it particularly useful where roller blinds need to integrate with switches, relays, automation controllers or building management infrastructure.

Projection Screen Applications

Alpha also identifies projection screens as a suitable application.

Electronic upper and lower limits allow the screen’s travel positions to be configured, while the wired motor architecture enables integration with compatible external control systems.

Compatible Accessories

Alpha WSB01 Limit Setting Tool

This is the obvious internal-link opportunity for this motor.

Alpha specifically states that the electronic limits on the Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal can be programmed using the Alpha WSB01 Limit Setting Tool or the button directly on the motor head.

If you’ve created—or later create—the WSB01 product page, make “Alpha WSB01 Limit Setting Tool” the internal link.

I wouldn’t add any of the chargers, solar panels, NEO hubs or rechargeable-motor accessories we’ve created because none of those are specified for this 240V Universal motor.

Electrical Installation

The Alpha WSEC40 5/28 Universal operates at 240V mains voltage.

Installation, wiring and integration into switches, automation systems or building management systems must comply with applicable electrical requirements.

Where Australian electrical regulations require licensed electrical work, installation must be completed by an appropriately licensed electrician.

FAQs
