All other drives can be identified via the programming
unit. Connect the wires in the connecting cable of the
drive to the wires of the same colour in the program-
ming unit.
Press the programming button for 2 seconds.
If the drive produces a loud noise and the tube does
not turn, the drive is a type M. Replace the program-
ming unit immediately with one that is suitable for an
M drive.
If the drive clicks twice, an R(+) type or PicoR+ type
drive is installed.
If the drive clicks once or does not react, it is an RP(+),
RO+, PR+, E01, RF(+) or PRF+, PROF+, or B01 drive
type.

General
Which type of roller shutter drive has been installed?
The limit positions of the latest generation of drives
with electronic limit switching can be deleted and reset
via the existing operator control. To do this, proceed
as follows:
First, run the drive for 6 seconds in the UP or DOWN
direction.
Then perform the travel movements described opposite
to delete the limit positions. If the drive then clicks twice,
it is one of the following types: RO+, E01, E02, E03 or
E14.
Then reprogram the upper and lower limit positions in
the order described opposite. The drive clicks once to
confirm the programming action.
If the drive does not confirm by clicking once, it is an
E02 type or RO+ type drive.
If the drive stops sensitively when encountering an
obstruction when moving downwards, it is an E01 type
drive.
If the drive stops without reversing, it is an E03 type
drive.
If the drive reacts insensitively to the obstruction, it is
an E14 type drive.

Turn the drive roughly 3 revolutions then press the
programming button again for 2 seconds (the drive
clicks again to indicate that a second limit position
has been set). Turn the drive roughly 1.5 revolutions
in the opposite direction and carry out the deletion
sequence:
- Press and hold the programming button
- Press and hold the button
- Release the programming button
- Press the programming button again until the drive
clicks twice.
If the drive does not react, it is an RF(+) (up to 2002),
PRF+ (2003–2009), PROF+ (from 2009 onwards),
C01 (from 2013 onwards) or B01 (from 2012) drive
with integrated radio receiver and bidirectional radio
control. The drive type can be identified by program-
ming the corresponding hand-held transmitter.
If the drive clicks twice, it is an RP(+), RO(+) or PR+
drive type.
Press the programming button again.
If the drive clicks twice again, it is an RO(+) (from 2010
onwards).
If the drive clicks once, it is a RP(+) or PR+ drive. You
have now programmed a limit position. Turn the drive 3
revolutions from the limit position.
If the drive runs without stopping, it is a PR+ (from 2003
onwards) drive.
If the drive stops and continues running, it is a PR+
(from 2009 onwards) drive.

Wiring
Drives with mechanical limit switching must not
be connected in parallel to a control point. Dis-
charge of the capacitor could damage the limit
switches. This would cause the limit positions
to be “overrun”.
The changeover time for switching the running di-
rection must be at least 0.5 seconds. The switch
and controls must not execute simultaneous UP
and DOWN commands.

Roller shutter Drives
Information
Before installation, make sure that the
drive adapter safety catch has engaged
(is screwed tight).
Mark the position of the drive adapter
on the tube and drill a 4-mm hole at this
point.
Secure the drive adapter against axial
displacement in the tube using a screw
or a rivet.
The arrow on the drive head indicates the
direction of rotation . The limit position
is set on the corresponding adjuster, for
example, with the flexible setting tool
(item no. 49332000020).
Turning in the + direction increases the
range; turning in the - direction reduces
it.
The barrel may not be turned more than
38 revolutions in one direction.

10
Setting the limit positions
1. Setting the lower
limit position
After the tube is installed,
run the drive downwards
until it switches off auto-
matically. Using the flex-
ible setting tool, turn the
corresponding adjuster in
the + direction (clockwise)
until the tube is in a suitable
position for connecting the
roller shutter to the tube.
Switch off the DOWN di-
rection and connect the
roller shutters to the tube
(mount the springs).

2. Setting the upper
limit position
Run the roller shutter
upwards until the drive
switches off automatically
via the limit switch for the
upper limit position.
Note: When delivered
(from the factory), the
limit switch range is pre-
set to 2 revolutions in the
UP and DOWN directions.
While the shutter is open-
ing, the drive switches
off after 4-5 revolutions.
Turn the corresponding
adjuster in the + direction
(clockwise) until the roller
shutter is in the upper limit
position.

Roller shutter Drives
Information
M17 drives with mechanical limit switching
detect both limit positions automatically.
In order for the drive to detect the upper
limit position, a defined stop must be
present (angled strip or mechanical stop).
To detect the lower limit position, fixed
shaft connectors must be installed. In
this case, the fixed shaft connectors must
snap into place and the roller shutters
must be pressing down on the window
ledge.
The upper limit position is automatically
detected due to the increase in torque
when the stopper makes contact, the
angled end strip or the concealed stops.
The lower limit position is detected
automatically due to the increase in
torque when the fixed shaft connector
snaps into place.
No installation runs or programming
operations are required.

Wiring
Two or more drives with electronic limit switching
can be connected in parallel to a control point.
The maximum number of synchronously con-
trolled drives depends on the respective current
consumption but must not exceed 5.
The changeover time for switching the running di-
rection must be at least 0.5 seconds. The switch
and controls must not execute simultaneous UP
and DOWN commands.

Roller shutter Drives
Information
PicoR+ drives with electronic limit
switching detect and program the upper
limit position automatically.
In order for the drive to detect the upper
limit position correctly, a defined stop must
be present (angled strip or mechanical
stop).
The springs are attached to the mini
tube using tube clamps. This stops the
springs from rubbing against the drive.
The limit positions can be set using any
operator control.
Limit positions are deleted using the
programming unit.
Connect the wires in the connecting
cable of the drive to the wires of the
same colour in the programming unit.

16
Programming the limit positions
1. Programming the upper limit
position
First, run the roller shutter towards
the upper limit position until the drive
switches off automatically.
Note: For safety reasons, the drive
uses less force when opening the
shutter for the first time (installation
run). If the force is borderline, the
drive may stop before reaching the
upper limit position. After resetting
(deletion of the limit positions), the
drive is restarted until it reaches the
upper limit position.
2. Programming the lower limit
position
Now run the roller shutter to the desired
lower limit position.
(If anti-lifting devices or rigid safe-
ty springs are installed, run the roller
shutter downwards until the drive stops
automatically.)

3. Programming the travelling
distance
Run the roller shutter towards the upper
limit position again, without stopping,
until the drive switches off automatically.
This time, the drive learns the distance
between the limit positions and auto-
matically concludes the programming
phase.
4. Deleting the limit positions
using the programming unit
Press the programming button until the
drive clicks twice.

Installation with anti-lifting devices
of type R+
The anti-lifting device must be securely
engaged and be pressing the roller shutter
onto the window sill.
The limit positions can be set using any
operator control.
Limit positions are deleted using the
programming unit.
Connect the wires in the connecting
cable of the drive to the wires of the
same colour in the programming unit.
Installation with springs of type R
No more than one roller shutter slat
should jut out over the intake guide. In
the lower limit position, the springs must
act against the tube’s rotary motion. The
springs should be mounted 30 cm apart
from one another.
