All R8/17C PRF+ to R40/17C PRF+ tubular drives are intended solely for the operation of roller shutters. The tubular drive is t-
ted with springs which support both the shutter suspension and mechanical anti-lifting devices (e.g. Zuruh-Feller, Simu, GAH
Alberts or Deprat). These are detected automatically.
The mains connection cable is not suitable for supporting the weight of the drive. Always support the drive with the housing tube.
Other applications, utilisation and modications are not permitted in order to protect the safety of the users and others, since
these actions can impair the system’s safety, resulting in personal injuries and property damage. Becker-Antriebe shall not
accept liability for damages arising from such actions. Always observe the information in these instructions when operating or
repairing the system. Becker-Antriebe shall not accept liability for damages resulting from incorrect usage.
Attention
Anti-lifting devices may only be used if sufciently rigid roller shutter laths are used. When closed, the shut-
ters must not extend over the guide rails, as this may put too great a load on the joint between the top two
slats, which could consequently be damaged.
Before reaching the lower end limit, the roller shutters must have made at least 1.5 revolutions. This is normally the case when
the window height is ve times the effective tube diameter.
Example:
60-series octagonal tube with anti-lifting device from Zuruh-Feller:
Effective tube diameter: 9 cm -> min. window height > 45 cm
Assembly of the Becker connecting cable (Fig. 1)
Ensure the Becker connecting cable is de-energised before proceeding. Insert
the cable into the drive head until the location lug audibly engages behind the
self-locking clip. If necessary, use a suitable at-bladed screwdriver to insert
the cable correctly. This is done by inserting the screwdriver into one of the two
recesses in the connector.
Check the locking.
Disassembly of the Becker connecting cable (Fig. 1)
Caution
Always completely de-energise the Becker connecting cable
prior to disassembly.
1. Carefully insert a suitable at-bladed screwdriver into the recess of the self-
locking clip until it releases the location lug of the connecting cable.
2. It is now possible to carefully withdraw the Becker connecting cable along
with the at-bladed screwdriver.

Mounting the roller shutter drive
Attention
Drives from Becker Antriebe are to be mounted and operated
solely with mechanical accessory components shown in the
current Becker product catalogue.
Prior to mounting, the tter must ensure that the masonry and the shutter box
are sufciently robust (drive torque plus weight of the shutters).
Caution
These drives may not be operated with conventional switching
elements (switches, timers or similar).
If the roller shutters are to be operated in the opposite direc-
tion to the upper stopper, the shutters must be stopped from
being wound up into the shutter box by stoppers or by a right-
angled end slat. We recommend tting covered stoppers into
the guide rails prior to mounting.
1. The lateral spatial requirements (M) for the box end, the counter bearing
and the motor bearing must be determined in order to calculate the required
length of the roller tube. The length (L) of the roller tube is equal to the clear
dimensions of the roller shutter box (X) minus the total length of the wall
bracket, box end (M) and counter bearing (G): L=X-(G+M) (Fig. 2).
Measure the distance from the wall bracket and connecting head as this
may vary depending on the drive and bearings used.
2. Secure the wall bracket and the counter bearing.
Attention
If anti-lifting devices are being used, closed bearings must be
used. When the shutters are closed, the tubular drive pushes
the shutters downwards to prevent them from being raised or
forced open. Always use suitably robust shutters, for example
made of aluminium, steel or wooden. To prevent the shutters
from being damaged the entire shutter must run in guide rails.
To install the drive, the following instructions must be followed carefully:
• Removing the mounting pin
The mounting pin engages automatically when inserted. To remove the
mounting pin slide the bearer plate upwards and pull out the mounting pin
(Fig. 3).
• Mounting the drive adapter with safety catch R8/17C PRF+ to
R20/17C PRF+:
The insert direction for the drive adapter is determined by the drive adapter
type (shape). When inserting the drive adapter with safety catch ensure that
the catch engages with the location lug. You will hear a clicking sound when
the drive adapter has engaged properly. Pull lightly on the drive adapter to
ensure that it has been tted securely (Fig. 4).
• Mounting the drive adapter with screw connection R30/17C PRF+ to
R40/17C PRF+:
In this case the drive adapter is fastened with a M6x12 screw, which is
secured by a M6 plain washer and a corresponding toothed lock washer
(Fig. 4).

Attention
When drilling the roller tube do not drill in the area around the
tubular drive! The tubular drive must be inserted carefully into
the tube. It should not be hammered or simply dropped into the
tube! The shutters can be secured using springs or anti-lifting
devices only.
• Prole tubes:
Attach a suitable limit ring adapter (A) and drive adapter (B) to the tubular
drive. After having done so, slide the drive into the tube so that it engages
positively. When doing so, ensure that the limit ring adapter and drive adapt-
er t securely into the tube.
For some drive adapters, the slot width tolerances of different roller tubes
can be compensated by turning the drive adapter into another slot recess.
These slot recesses have different dimensions and allow you to mount your
drive accurately (Fig. 6).
• Round tubes:
Release the tube at the motor end to allow the cam of the limit ring adapter
to be slid into the tube. There must be no clearance between the cam of
the limit ring adapter and the tube. For limit ring adapters without locating
cams the roller tube must be connected to the limit ring adapter using a
4.8 x 10 mm tapping screw (Fig. 7).
5. Insert the tube into the bearing and secure the motor end in the drive bear-
ing.
6. After the transmitter programming, position the roller tube such that the roll-
er shutters can be secured with springs. Alternatively, install the anti-lifting
lock in accordance with the manufacturer’s stipulations.
Note
When using springs we recommend that at least 3 are used;
For longer roller tubes 3 springs are to be used per meter of
roller tube.
Install motor connecting cable to the tubular drive in ascend-
ing direction and secure. The motor cable and the antenna
must be well clear of the winding space. Sharp edges must be
covered.
Cabling (Fig. 8)
Acknowledgement
The roller shutter drive acknowledges every programme, setting or deletion
process with a “clack” or “clack-clack” sound.

What should you do, if...?
Malfunction Cause Solution
Tubular drive is not running. 1. No transmitter has been programmed.
2. Transmitter is outwith the range of the
tubular drive.
3. Transmitter has been operated outwith the
range several times.
4. Batteries in the transmitter have been in-
correctly inserted, not inserted at all or are
empty.
5. Faulty electrical connection.
6. Thermal cut-out function in the tubular
drive has been activated.
1. Programme new transmitter.
2. Move transmitter into the range of the
tubular drive.
3. Activate the control or stop button on the
transmitter at least 5 times.
4. Insert batteries properly or replace batter-
ies.
5. Check electrical connection.
6. Wait 5-10 minutes.
You are unable to change the
axle direction.
End limits are stored in the tubular drive. Start up the tubular drive via a start command
and deactivate with a stop command. Then
delete the end limit settings using the pro-
gramming and stop buttons.
The axle direction is incorrect
after deleting the end limits.
The axle direction switch is in the wrong posi-
tion.
Slide the axle direction switch to the opposite
position.
Tubular drive has stopped at
random and won’t run in the
given direction.
1. Tubular drive has detected an assumed
load.
2. Tubular drive is overloaded.
1. Run the drive briey in the opposite direc-
tion, then activate the desired direction
again.
2. Use a tubular drive with a greater torque.
Switching times cannot be
stored in the tubular drive.
The learnt transmitter does not have a
manual/auto sliding switch.
Use a transmitter with a manual/auto sliding
switch
Switching times cannot be
stored in the tubular drive.
1. The manual/auto sliding switch is set to H.
2. Several sliding switch transmitters are pro-
grammed in the tubular drive. One manual/
auto sliding switch is set to H.
1. Adjust the manual/auto sliding switch to U.
2. Adjust the sliding switch of one transmit-
ter to U. If the sliding switch is already set to
U, slide the switch briey to H and back to U
again.
The switching time settings
keep changing.
Frequent 230V supply voltage interruption.
Fluctuations in the 50 Hz power frequency.
Tubular drive is not adjusting
the shutters into the preset
ventilation and intermediate
positions.
The upper end limit has been set rst. The end limits have to be reset. Remember to
set the lower limit rst!
During programming travel
the drive does not reach the
limit stop which is to be pro-
grammed.
For safety reasons the drive reacts cautiously
to unsmooth running during programming
travel, thus preventing damages.
Briey travel DOWN and subsequently UP until
you reach the upper limit stop.

4. Setting the end limits
Lower position to upper position without stopper
Travel to the desired lower end limit position.
Subsequently press the learn button and the DOWN button un-
til the tubular drive makes a “clack” sound.
With permanent stoppers (stopper for the upper end limit or
anti-lifting devices for the lower end limit), the tubular drive
automatically stops during installation travel and automatically
saves the end limit(s).
5. Deleting the end limit(s)
Press the learn button and the STOP button until the tubular
drive makes a “clack-clack” sound.
If the tubular drive is located between the end limits, both end
limits are deleted. If the tubular drive is located at one of the
two end limits, only the respective end limit is deleted.
3. Checking / Correcting the axle direction
If the axle moves in the wrong direction, change the position of
the axle direction switch on the tubular drive.
Alter axle direction
The axle direction can only be altered if end limits have not
been set!
1. Connection
Connect the wires to the power supply as displayed in the ex-
ample below.
The brown wire and black wire are connected together at “L”.
