General These tubular drives are high-quality products with the following features: • Optimised for roller shutter operation • Automatic detection of limit positions thanks to intelligent electronic system with stop systems ∙ Secure anti-lifting device ∙ Slight pressure applied to the roller shutter curtain makes it difficult to raise or reach under it ∙...
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.
• If the drive is used for shading solutions in a specially marked area (e.g., escape routes, hazard zones, safety areas), compliance with all applicable regulations and standards must be ensured. • Once the drive has been installed, the fitter must mark the used tubular drive in the “Technical data” chapter and make a note of the installation position.
Drive version with angled plug Caution The power supply to the connecting cable must be disconnected prior to assembly/disas- sembly. Assembling the plug-in connecting cable for tubular drives with angled plug Ø35/Ø45/Ø58 Plug the dead connecting cable into the angled plug until the locating lug clicks into place in the angled plug.

Then mount the wall bracket and idler. Ensure that the barrel is aligned at right angles to the wall and that sufficient axial play is al- lowed for the mounted system. Attention When using rigid shaft connectors, closed brackets must be fitted. The tubular drive presses the closed curtain down to make it difficult for people to reach under it or raise it.

To ensure secure torque transmission for round shafts, we recommend screwing the drive adapter to the shaft (see the table below). Attention! When drilling into the barrel, never drill near the tubular drive! -10 mm Size of drive Drive adapter Torque Fastening screws [mm] max.

Deleting the limit positions using the programming unit Connect the wires of the tubular drive to those of the same colour in the programming unit and switch on the power supply. Please pause for 1 sec after the last drive command before beginning the deletion se- quence.
Obstruction detection / Blockage detection Caution Use of the drive’s obstacle detection system as personal protection is not permitted. It has been designed exclusively to protect the roller shutters or sun protection system from be- ing damaged. If the drive is correctly installed, it switches off when it detects obstructions or shutter faults. The following are detected both when using attachment springs and when using anti-lifting devices: In the DOWN direction (Obstruction detection) A curtain jam when closing due to objects on the window sill or sticking of the lateral guide tracks.
Sample wiring diagrams The assignment of the black and brown wires according to the direction of travel is de- pendant on how the drive is installed (mounted to the right or to the left).
