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.
•Permanently mounted control devices must be positioned where they can be seen.
•Rated torque and duty cycle must be suitable for the requirements of the driven product.
Technical data - rated torque and service life can be found on the type plate of the tubular drive.

•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.

Intended use
The type of tubular drive described in these instructions is intended solely for the operation of vertical ZIP systems.
It may only be used in networked systems if all the individual drives are exactly synchronised and reach their limit positions at the
same time.
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).

Setting the limit positions with Auto-install (for ZIP applications with heavy end
strip)
For proper execution of the auto-install function, the necessary torque in the lower limit position must be at least 1/3 of the rated
torque of the tubular drive used.
Example:
Tubular drive 12Nm, barrel diameter 85mm (r= 0.0425m, no part of the shading solution is on the barrel when uncoiled). 1/3 of
the rated torque equals 4Nm; this means a minimum weight requirement of approx. 9.6kg in the lower limit position (shading solu-
tion + end strip) for this barrel.
Calculation:
4Nm / 0.0425m = 94N
94N / 9.81ms2 = 9.6kg
To set the limit positions with Auto-install, you need the "drive adapter for obstacle detec-
tion". If electrical power is removed from the drive during downward movement, the pro-
cess starts again from the beginning with the new downward movement.
Set both switches to the programming setting.
Open as far as the permanent upper stop.
▻The tubular drive switches off automatically.
Run the fabric downwards until the drive switches off automatically and re-
verses, while keeping the travel button pressed. The drive now moves one
revolution upwards and then down to the lower limit position that has been
found, where it switches off. Keep pressing the travel button until the drive
clicks once, indicating that the lower limit position that has been found has
been saved.
Now move to the upper limit position twice, so that this is also permanently
stored.
Obstacle detection (for ZIP applications with heavy end strip)
Caution
Obstacle detection is only active in conjunction with the "drive adapter for obstacle detec-
tion".
In addition, please note that the drive must be pushed in to the shaft as far as the band of
the thrust ring.
Use of the drive’s obstacle detection system as personal protection is not permitted. It has
been designed exclusively to protect the sun protection system from being damaged.
If the drive is correctly installed, it switches off when it detects obstructions or fabric faults and tries to run past the obstruction a
second time. If this fails, the drive switches off after the third attempt. Approx. 360° from the lower limit position, the drive interrupts
operation immediately following the first detection of an obstacle and makes no further attempt to continue.
The total number of attempts to complete a travel that has been started to the respective limit position is limited to 10 (distributed
over several obstruction locations).
If reversing is interrupted, a further drive command is only possible in the direction of reversing. Move the fabric without interrup-
tion until the tubular drive stops automatically. It is now possible to travel in both directions again.
