• 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.
Intended use The type of tubular drive in these instructions is designed exclusively for operation of awnings with mechanical limiting in the Ex- tend limit position (e.g. the articulated arms cannot be extended completely). 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.
Assembly Assembling the drive Caution Electrical connections may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Prior to assembly, the power supply must be disconnected and secured. Please give the enclosed connection information to the responsible electrical contractor. 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.

Mounting the drive in the tube For profile shafts: In the case of some drive adapters, tolerances of the groove widths in different barrels can be offset by rotating the drive adapter into a different groove recess. These groove recesses have different sizes and allow the drive to fit exactly.
All CentronicPlus receivers can be operated with the Centronic transmitters listed in the Centronic/CentronicPlus compatibility table at www.becker-antriebe.com/downloads As two fundamentally different radio technologies are linked in this case, the full performance of the CentronicPlus radio control system is not available in this combination. When using the Centronic transmitter with CentronicPlus receiver, the range perform- ance may be reduced under certain circumstances.

Establish programming mode This step is only necessary if one of the devices to be programmed is not yet part of the in- stallation.
Programming the CentronicPLUS transmitter With brand new products, devices from another installation or products that have been re- stored to factory settings, programming mode must be established beforehand (see Es- tablishing programming mode). Bring the transmitter as close as possible to the receiver to be programmed. Press the programming button for 3 seconds when it is ready to program.
Adding additional transmitters to the installation Press the programming button on an already programmed transmitter for 3 seconds. The transmitter performs a search and the LED ring continuously changes colour. The transmitter then switches to receiver selection and selects the receiver with the best connection quality.
Briefly press the programming button to change to the setting mode. ▻ The receiver confirms. ▻ The LED ring of the transmitter slowly pulses light blue. ▻ The receiver now enters dead-man mode. ► The setting mode is now active. If a receiver has not yet been added to the installation (LED ring lights up yellow), it will not be possible to select it in this way.
Then press the programming button for 3 seconds to change to normal mode. ► The LED ring goes out. Intelligent installation management Completion of installation following automatic setting of limit position "Stop" Next time the “stop” limit position is travelled to, this position will be provisionally saved as the limit position. Once the limit position has been detected at this position 3 times in a row without any problems, it will be definitively saved.
Changing the additional stop behaviour function On delivery, the drives have an increased stop behaviour. Proceed as follows to change the stop behaviour: The "to retracted stop" limit position must be set in order to adjust the stop behaviour. The stop behaviour can be changed during the first 3 runs towards the stop.
Setting the limit positions with Auto-Install Intelligent installation management Completion of installation following automatic setting of limit position "Stop" Next time the “stop” limit position is travelled to, this position will be provisionally saved as the limit position. Once the limit position has been detected at this position 3 times in a row without any problems, it will be definitively saved.

Intermediate positions I + II The intermediate positions I + II are freely selectable positions for the shading solution between the two limit positions. Each travel button can be assigned one intermediate posi- tion. Both limit positions must be set before an intermediate position is set. Setting/modifying the desired intermediate position Open/close the shading solution to the desired intermediate position.
Restoring the wireless memory of the tubular drive to factory settings There are a number of options: • Using a programmed CentronicPlus transmitter • Using the universal programming unit (item no. 4935 000 001 0) The set limit positions and all of the other set functions (intermediate position I, intermedi- ate position II, fabric untensioning, fabric stretching, stop behaviour, obstruction detec- tion) are retained.
