General These tubular drives are high-quality products with the following features: • Optimised for sun protection applications • Installation without stops is also possible (from extended point to retracted point) • Automatic detection of limit positions thanks to intelligent electronic system with stop systems •...
Safety instructions The following safety instructions and warnings are intended to avert hazards and to prevent property damage and personal injury. Instructions for the user General information • The drive must be disconnected from its power source during cleaning and maintenance and when re- placing parts.

• Hazardous moving parts of the drive must be installed at a height of over 2.5 m above floor level or any other surface from which the drive can be accessed. • To ensure safe operation of the system after commissioning, the limit positions must be correctly set/ programmed in.
Intended use The type of tubular drive described in these instructions is intended solely for the operation of awnings, cassette awnings, screens, drop-arm awnings and conservatory shades. It may only be used in networked systems if all the individual drives are exactly synchronised and reach the limit positions at the same time.
Disassembling the plug-in connecting cable for tubular drives dia. 35. Caution Prior to disassembly, the power supply to the connecting cable must be disconnected. Insert a suitable flathead screwdriver between the locating lug and the snap-in pin, so that the snap-in pin releases the locating lug from the plug.
Disassembling the plug-in connecting cable for tubular drives dia. 45 and dia. 58 Caution Prior to disassembly, the power supply to the connecting cable must be disconnected. Insert a suitable flathead screwdriver right into the recess of the locating latch, so that the latch releases the locating lug from the plug.
Installation Assembling the drive Attention To connect the drive to the driven part, solely mechanical accessory components made by the drive manufacturer from the current product catalogue may be used. Prior to mounting, the fitter must ensure that the masonry and the system being motorised are sufficiently robust (drive torque plus weight of the shading solution).

For round shafts: Measure the lug of the thrust ring (X, Y). Then notch the tube on the motor side, so the lug of the thrust ring can also be pushed into the shaft. There must be no play between the lug of the thrust ring and the shaft. To ensure secure torque transmission for round shafts, we recommend screwing the drive adapter to the shaft (see the table below).

Deleting both limit positions Any additional functions that may have been set are deleted at the same time, or are reset to the factory default settings. Open/close the shading solution to a point between the limit positions. Press the programming button and keep it pressed. Then press down the travel button and keep it pressed.
