Correct Use / Operating conditions
Tubular motors are intended solely for raising and lowering shutters
and awnings
IMPORTANT
◆ If installed outside, the motor cable must be fitted with a suitable empty tube up to
the respective junction box whilst taking the local electrical regulations into considera-
tion.
◆ Only use original manufacturer's parts and accessories.
Only use tubular motors which correspond to the local conditions in
terms of their output. Incorrectly dimensioned tubular motors can lead
to damage:
◆ An insufficiently dimensioned tubular motor can be damaged due to overloading.
◆ An excessively dimensioned tubular motor can cause damage, for example, to the
roller shutters and roller shutter casing when configuring the automatic end-point
setting.
Consult a specialist dealer when selecting the tubular motor and observe our tractive
force specifications on our Website:

Important installation instructions
IMPORTANT
Please compare the voltage/frequency specifications on the type plate with those
of your local power supply network before installation.
◆ Disassemble or deactivate all cables and equipment that will not be needed for
operation before installing the tubular motor.
◆ The moving parts of drives that are operated at less than 2.5 m height from the
floor must be protected.
◆ If the tubular motor is controlled with a preset OFF switch this switch must be
fitted within view of the tubular motor, at a minimum height of 1.5 m and
away from moving parts.
◆ It is vital that the winding shaft is fitted horizontally!
It is vital that the roller shutter is wound up evenly, as this could otherwise
cause damage to the motor and shutter.
◆ The roller shutter box cover must be easily accessible and removable.
◆ Do not disassemble the mechanical stoppers on the last shutter slat.
CAUTION
Installing the tubular motor at an angle can cause the tubular motor or
roller shutters to be damaged. For example, roller shutters wound at
an angle can block the drive and cause damage.
◆ Always ensure that the tubular motors and bearings are mounted horizontally.
◆ Please ensure that the rotating union (5) and the roller shutters (17) can move down
easily and freely after installation is complete.
◆ The roller shutters (17) may not run over the bearing, the bearing capsule (4) or the
drive head (12) during operation.
◆ Ensure that the rotating union (5) and the fastening springs (6) of the drive (9) do
not touch. They may not rub against the tubular motor (9) during operation.
For automatically operated awnings:
◆ Awnings must be fitted in such a way that there is a minimum distance of 0.4 m
between the awning and objects in its immediate proximity when it is fully extended.
◆ The lowest point of any awning system must not be less than 1.8 m high.
Operating conditions
◆ The electrical connection equires a permanent 230 V/50 Hz power supply at
the site of installation as well as an on-site isolating device (fuse).
Incorrectly dimensioned drives and counter bearings can cause the roller
shutter system to be damaged.
◆ Only use original bearings supplied by the manufacturer. Third party drives and counter
bearings must be selected in accordance with the torque specifications of the respective
tubular motors.
Risk of injury in the event of incorrect installation (impact injuries and
contusions).
◆ The motor can eject from the drive bearing in the event of incorrect installation/
fastening. Fasten the tubular motor with the securing devices provided.
Mortal danger in the event of operation without configured end points.
◆ The end points must be configured in order to ensure safe operation. In order to do
so, please refer to the corresponding chapter in this manual provided on page 55.
