Vestamatic Vario 1 S AP Electronic Shutter Controller Timer for Automated Sunblind Systems – Programmable with Manual Override

Condition: Used; great cosmetic condition with light signs of handling. Includes controller and base/terminal backplate as shown (no extra accessories or screws noted). No mounting base or socket included (required for operation).

The Vestamatic Vario 1 S AP is a legacy electronic shutter controller used in sunblind, roller shutter, and similar shading systems. Designed for surface-mounted installation, this unit provides both automatic time-based control and manual override functions for up/down shutter actuation. The Vario 1 S AP includes a basic LCD screen, programmable timer interface, and manual switches to raise or lower blinds outside scheduled times. It is ideal for small-scale automation setups in residential, commercial, or institutional buildings where control of natural light and thermal load is desired.

Vestamatic Vario 1 S AP electronic controller intended for motorized roller shutters / blinds. The front panel has typical German-labeled controls—Uhr (clock), Auf (up), Ab (down), and Stellen (set)—suggesting a time/program-based shutter timer with manual override. The unit mounts to a base/backplate that provides screw terminals for field wiring. Inside labeling indicates it is meant for mains-powered shutter motors (commonly 230V class in European installations), and the printed terminal diagram suggests separate connections for line/neutral and motor direction outputs.

Because this is a line-voltage control device, installation should be done by a qualified person familiar with local electrical code and shutter motor wiring conventions.

⚠️ The label warning in German on the back panel reads:
“Attention! This device must only be inserted into the socket provided. Ensure the type designation on the device and the socket match. Non-compliance may lead to short circuit damage and void warranty.”

📐 Features:

• Model: Vario 1 S AP
• Mounting Type: Surface-mounted (Aufputz / AP)
• Functionality:
  • Time-based automatic opening/closing
  • Manual override via rocker switches
  • LCD clock display
  • Programming buttons: Uhr (Clock), Auf (Up), Ab (Down), Stellen (Set)
• German-Made Engineering – durable build and reliable operation
• Socket-Dependent Installation – must match base type to avoid damage
• Includes Internal Relay for Switching

🏢 Applications:

• Window roller shutters (motorized)
• Venetian blinds or sun protection systems
• Residential buildings for energy-saving shading automation
• Offices, conference rooms, and schools
• Shading systems in conservatories or atriums

• Residential and light-commercial roller shutter automation
• Scheduled open/close cycles for privacy, sun control, and heat management
• Manual control of shutters with the ability to set time-based behavior
• Retrofit upgrades where an existing wall station is replaced with a programmable timer controller

Spheres of Application

• Homes and apartments with exterior shutters
• Small offices and storefronts using shutters for shading/security
• Hospitality (guest rooms) for automated shading routines
• Light building automation where simple local scheduling is preferred

• Vestamatic Vario 1 series shutter controllers (other variants may differ by program features)
• Similar “AP” surface-mounted shutter timer controllers from comparable European shutter-control lines

Comparable Products

• Wall-mounted roller shutter timer switches (digital, with UP/DOWN outputs)
• Basic manual shutter switches (no timer/programming)
• DIN-rail shutter controllers used inside electrical panels (more centralized)
• Smart-home shutter controllers (adds app/automation; requires compatible ecosystem)

Use as Part of a Larger System

This controller is typically one piece of a shutter installation:

• Mains feed (L/N/PE as applicable) → controller → shutter motor (UP/DOWN leads + neutral/ground per motor type)
• Often paired with:
  • Tubular shutter motor (in roller tube)
  • Mechanical end stops or electronic limit settings (motor-dependent)
  • Optional group control modules (in larger installations)

Notes and Assumptions for Buyers

• Voltage/system standard: The labels and design strongly suggest a European shutter control (commonly 230VAC). If you’re in a 120V region, this may not be compatible without the correct system.
• Motor type: Intended for directional AC shutter motors (separate “up” and “down” control conductors). Not typically for DC motors unless explicitly rated.
• Installation: Recommend professional installation due to line-voltage wiring and motor direction interlocking requirements.

🔩 Installation & System Use:

The Vario 1 S AP is part of a modular shutter automation system, typically used with:

• 230V AC tubular motors
• Wall-mounted socket base (specific to Vestamatic)
• Manual or fully automated shading systems

Unit is only functional when installed in its designated mounting socket, which contains the power and relay interface. Attempting to connect it to incompatible sockets or wiring may result in permanent damage.
