Savant - Rollease Shade Motor and Controller Integration Guide
IMPORTANT! Before beginning integration of Rollease® shade systems with Savant, ensure successful communication between the Rollease shade motors
and shade hub, and confirm that the shade system is controllable from the Rollease Automate app. For details on initial Rollease setup, go to www.
rolleaseacmeda.com, select the region and then the AUTOMATE tab to search for and locate the required documents.

1. Wiring
Use the diagram below when making connections between the Savant SSC-002485 controller and the Rollease controller.
– Cut the RJ-45 connector o the supplied RJ-9 to RJ-45 cable and strip the jacketing back approximately
½ inch. Strip the black, yellow, and green
wires and install them into the 6-pin screw down terminal supplied with the SSC-002485 controller (6-pin screw terminal not shown in diagram). To
avoid wires from shorting, ensure that no more than
⅛ inch of bare wire protrudes from the rear of the 6-pin screw terminal (see diagram above).
– Plug opposite end of cable (RJ-9) into the Rollease shade motor controller.
– Connect a Cat 5e/6/7 cable between the Ethernet port on the SSC-002485 controller and a local network switch.
– Apply power to both the SSC-002485 and Rollease controller (use supplied wall wart power supply).
