Intended use
The type of tubular drive described in these instructions is intended solely for the operation of roller shutters.
This type of tubular drive supports not only curtain attachment by means of springs but also mechanical anti-lifting devices (e.g.,
Zurfluh-Feller, Simu, GAH Alberts and Deprat). These are detected automatically.
For sun protection 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.
Attention
Only use anti-lifting devices if the roller shutter laths are sufficiently strong. The closed
curtain must not project beyond the guide tracks or else there is a risk of the joint between
the top two laths being subjected to excessive strain and getting damaged.
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 and wall
bracket. 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.
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.
Only use curtains made of sufficiently strong material, such as aluminium, steel or wood.
To prevent damage to the curtain it must run in guide tracks from top to bottom.
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).
Assembling the drive adapter with drive adapter safety catch
Put the drive adapter (1) onto the drive shaft of the tubular drive. You can see which
way to insert the safety catch (2) from its shape. When inserting the drive adapter
safety catch (2) into the hole (4), make sure that the locking lug (3) engages. You will
hear a click. Check that the safety catch is securely in position by pulling on the drive
adapter (1).
8

Assembling the drive adapter with screw connection
Put the drive adapter (1) onto the drive shaft of the tubular drive. For the assembly,
use an M6 x 12 screw (3) with appropriate washer (2) and suitable screw retainer.
Threaded hole (4)
Securing the drive against axial displacement
-10 mm
In order to secure the drive against axial displacement, we recommend screwing the
drive adapter to the tube.
Attention
When drilling into the barrel, never drill near the tubular drive!

Attention
Do not hammer the tubular drive into the tube or drop it into the barrel! The curtain can only
be secured using springs or rigid shaft connectors.
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.
9

For round tubes:
First notch the tube on the motor side, so the lug of the thrust ring can also be pushed
into the tube. There must be no play between the lug of the thrust ring and the tube.
For rings without drive lugs, which are used to assist fitting on the thrust ring, the bar-
rel must be connected to the thrust ring by a 4.8 x 9.5 mm self-tapping screw.
Assemble the tubular drive with the relevant thrust ring (1) and drive adapter (2). In-
sert the tubular drive with the pre-assembled thrust ring and drive adapter into the
tube to achieve a form fit. Ensure that the thrust 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 according to the type of wall
bracket fixing with a split or spring pin.
Position the barrel so that the roller shutter curtain can be attached with springs or fit the rigid shaft connectors in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
When using springs/anti-lifting devices, we recommend you use at least three; for longer
tubes, use three springs/anti-lifting devices per meter of barrel.
Lay the connecting cable
Lay the connecting cable up to the tubular drive, and fix The connecting cable and
any antennae must not project into the winding chamber. Cover any sharp edges.
Setting the limit positions with switches
Setting the limit positions
There are 3 ways to set the limit positions:
•Lower point to upper point without stops
•Lower point to upper stop
•Anti-lifting device in the lower limit position to upper stop
The limit position becomes fixed after the tubular drive has turned off automatically in the desired position three times.
If the tubular drive switches off prematurely while opening or closing, due to an obstruc-
tion, the obstruction can be cleared by reversing a short way and removing the obstruc-
tion. The desired limit position can be set by opening/closing again.

Information for the electrician
Tubular drives with electronic limit switching can be connected in parallel. The maximum switching contact load of the switching
equipment (timer, relay control, switch, etc.) must be observed. To operate drives with electronic limit switching, only use switch-
ing elements (timers) that are not earthed via the drive. The outputs of the switching element must be potential-free in the neutral
position.
Use external conductor L1 to control the up and down direction. Other devices or consumers (lamps, relays, etc.) must not be dir-
ectly connected to the drive connecting cables. For this purpose, the drives and additional devices must be decoupled by relay
controls.
When installing the drive, all-pole disconnection from the mains with a contact gap of at least 3 mm per pole must be provided (EN
60335).
Attention
Only use mechanically or electrically locked switching elements with a marked zero posi-
tion! This also applies when drives with electronic and mechanical limit switching are used
in the same system. The changeover time for switching the running direction must be at
least 0.5 s. The switch and control must not execute simultaneous UP and DOWN com-
mands. Protect the electrical connections from damp.
Once you have finished wiring everything to the control, ALWAYS check the right direction
assignment of the drive to the control buttons UP and DOWN, EXTEND and RETRACT.
If the drive is to be operated with devices which contain sources of interference, the elec-
trician must ensure suitable interference suppression for the relevant devices.
Torque detection
A correctly installed tubular drive reacts to extraordinarily large increases in load during operation between the limit positions and
thereby prevents an overload of the tubular drive.
Disposal
This product is made of various materials which must be disposed of properly. Find out about the applicable regulations on recyc-
ling or disposal for this product in your country.
The packaging material must be disposed of properly.
