Always use the relevant hand switch for all the user functions that are to be processed by the BCU control unit The system bracket can be used to support the BCU control System bracket unit when the underside of the device is not accessible at the time of assembly (item ZBE-315 416).
Never touch a damaged network plug or a damaged network cable when the BCU control unit is running, since the BCU control unit are supplied 120 V AC or 230 V AC. • Ensure, before you pull a defective plug out of the plug socket, that the current fuse is cut off.
The BCU control unit is delivered packed as one unit in a card- board box or in palettes. Entrust a freight forwarder with the dispatch of the BCU control unit.
Note the connected loads in the annex of this operating manual († chapter Device Data, page 34). Installation and connections The erection and alignment of the BCU control unit, as well as the interfaces and connections are shown in the following sections.
1 Plug in the plug of the actuator in the corresponding con- necting socket of the BCU control unit († Fig 1, page 20). 2 Verify the letter on the actuator cord, corresponds with the letter on the label († pos 12, Fig 1, page 20).

Special Operations On the underside of the BCU control unit, there are holes for Bolting screws. Depending on the application, you can fasten the BCU control unit with screws (also † Dimensions, page 35). If the underside of the BCU control unit is not accessible, a system bracket can be supplied as an accessory (†...
Cleaning CAUTION Take care not to damage the BCU control unit from water jets. The BCU control unit is protected against spraying water according to IPX4, but not against water jets. Prevent the BCU control unit from being subjected to water jets.
2 Check the mains plug of the BCU control unit and insert it if required into a mains socket. 3 Check the supply voltage and if required, change the fuse.
Hypothesis 2-A: Parameter set of the BCU control unit is not correct for the actuator unit. 1 Check the type plate of the BCU control unit and the param- eter set BCP. 2 Check the type plate of the actuator unit.
(† Fig 1, page 20, position 9). 3 Pull the DIN8 plug of the actuator out of the BCU control unit. You can then dismantle or re-install the BCU control unit.
