The Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal (no Molex) Motor is one of Australia’s most widely used motors for external blinds, ZIP screens, straight-drop awnings, and roller shutters. Delivering 30Nm of torque and a 17rpm operating speed, the Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal (no Molex) Motor provides the strength and reliability required for medium–large outdoor systems while offering installer-friendly wireless limit setting and advanced torque-stop protection.
This version is supplied without a Molex connector, making it ideal for jobs requiring direct hardwiring into junction boxes or custom installations. It features Alpha’s intelligent torque stop function—a protective system that detects resistance to stop the motor safely. This allows blinds to stop cleanly on side-channel stoppers at the top limit and apply perfect fabric tension when fully lowered, making it the ideal motor for external straight drop screens and zip-track systems.
The motor includes a built-in radio receiver, an external antenna for strong signal range, electronic limit switches, and full wireless limit setting capability. It is compatible with RS001 and RS002 Sun & Wind Sensors, enabling weather-responsive automation. If the awning is down and the motor stops receiving sensor pulses (every 20 minutes), it automatically retracts after approximately 30 minutes—protecting the system from wind or sensor failure.
With a 45mm diameter body, 570mm total length, and an IP44 rating, the Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal (no Molex) Motor integrates into common 63mm and 70mm roller tubes and is suitable for residential, commercial, and high-duty outdoor applications.
This is a strong, dependable, feature-rich motor—perfect for installers wanting torque precision, wireless control, and direct-wire flexibility.
