Instructions for installation and commissioning
General information
•Observe the safety instructions in IEC 60335-2-97. Please note that this list of safety instructions is not
exhaustive, since it would be impossible for the standard to include all sources of danger. For example,
the design of the operated product, the way the drive works in the situation it is installed in or even the
way the end product is mounted in the end user’s place of use cannot be taken into consideration by
the drive manufacturer.
If any questions or uncertainties regarding the safety instructions contained in the standard arise,
please contact the manufacturer of the part or end product in question.
•All applicable standards and regulations for electrical installation must be complied with.
•All work, including maintenance and cleaning, on electrical installations as well as other system parts
must always be performed by trained technicians, in particular qualified electricians.
•Only use spare parts, tools and accessory devices which have been approved by the drive manufac-
turer.
Unapproved third-party products or modifications to the system and its accessories represent a risk to
your safety and the safety of others. This means that the use of unapproved third-party products, or
modifications which have not been agreed with or approved by us, are prohibited. We do not accept li-
ability for damage or injury arising from such actions.
•Position switch with OFF presetting within sight of the driven product, but away from moving parts, at a
height of over 1.5 m. This must not be publicly accessible.

•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.
•Drives with a S05RN-F or 05RN-F connecting cable may be used both indoors and outdoors.
•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. The components must be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
•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.
Caution
Safety instructions for avoiding serious injuries.
•When electrical or electronic equipment and units are operated, certain components,
e.g., the power supply unit, are live. Physical injuries or damage to property can result in
the event of unauthorised interventions or failure to heed warnings.
•Be careful when touching the tubular drive, as it heats up during operation for technical
reasons.
•Before installation, shut down all lines and control devices that are not essential for op-
eration.
•Crushing or shearing points must be avoided or protected.
•When installing the drive, all-pole disconnection from the mains with a contact gap of at
least 3mm per pole must be provided (IEC 60335).
•If the mains connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by the manufacturer.
If the drive has a plug-in connecting cable, it must be replaced with the same type of
mains connecting cable, which is available from the drive manufacturer.
Attention
Safety instructions for avoiding property damage.
•Ensure that there is adequate clearance between moving parts and adjacent objects.
•The drive must not be carried by the mains connecting cable.

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.
When mounting connection parts on the drive dia. 35 mm PXX/XX, only use screws EJOT Delta PT 40x12 WN 5454 Torx (9900 000
545 4).
For roller shutter applications, please use only the types of tubular drive designed for this purpose.
This type of tubular drive is designed for use in single systems (one drive per barrel).
The tubular drive must not be used in potentially explosive areas.
The connecting cable is not suitable for transporting the drive. Always carry the drive by the housing tube.
Other applications, uses and modifications are not permitted in order to protect the safety of the users and others, since these ac-
tions can impair the system’s safety and carry the risk of personal injury and property damage. The drive manufacturer does not
accept liability for damages or injury arising from such actions.
Always observe the information in these instructions when operating or repairing the system. The drive manufacturer does not ac-
cept liability for damage or injury resulting from improper usage.
Assembling and disassembling the plug-in connecting cable
Assembling the plug-in connecting cable
Insert the dead connecting cable into the drive head until the locating lug clicks into place in the drive. If necessary, use a suitable
flathead screwdriver to assist with insertion. Set the screwdriver into one of the two plug grooves provided for this purpose.
Check that the cable is properly engaged.

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).
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.
Calculate the space required at the side (M) by measuring the drive head (1) and wall
bracket (2). The clear dimension of the box (X) minus the space required at the side
(M) and idler (G) gives the length (L) of the barrel: L=X-M-G.
The space required at the side (M) varies depending on the combination of drive and
wall bracket.
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.
Undoing the mounting pin
When pushed in, the mounting pin (2) locks automatically. To undo the mounting pin
(2), push the tab washer (1) upwards and pull out the mounting pin (2).

Mounting the drive in the tube
For profile tubes:
In the case of some drive adapters, tolerances of the groove widths in different bar-
rels 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.

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.
-10 mm
To ensure secure torque transmission for round shafts, we recommend screwing the
drive adapter to the shaft (see the table below).

has several grooves, select the groove which is a perfect fit and push the ring (1) onto
the thrust ring.
Insert the tubular drive with the pre-assembled ring (1) and drive adapter (2) into the
tube to achieve a form fit. Ensure that the ring and drive adapter are secure in the
tube.
Mount the assembled unit comprising barrel, tubular drive and idler on the box and secure the drive with a split or spring pin ac-
cording to the type of wall bracket fixing.
